what game have you played the most?

in increasing order of shame

modern warfare 2 - 150 hours
call of duty 4 - 350 hours
street fighter IV - 700 hours

can a world of warcraft level 70 paladin please put my figures to shame

probably sunk about 1000 hours into PES3, 4, and 5 combined

brb just slitting my wrists ;_;

When I played on a MUD back in college, almost 20 years ago now (thank goodness), I put in thousands of hours, I am sure. This is why I will never touch WoW.

put CM 03/04 and subsequent FM games together and i'm sure i'll be up in a lot more than 500 hours. on Oblivion i think i did around 140.

cm4- easily over 1000 hour mark over 8 years or so.

Pro Evo- maybe 600-700 hours over the same incarnations as cozen.

dwarfed, i mean DWARFED by ILX hours though

this generation it is fallout 3 - 170 hours over 2 playthrus, and i haven't even thought about the dlc yet.

was kinda imagining/nauseated by, a prospective ILX/MUD fusion, some way of adding combat and leveling to the mix. Maybe do it through zings. It's a horrible idea. though maybe if you hit level 40 or whatever all your posts could be in gold or something like that. On the MUD I played when you hit double 40s you could choose to be made an immortal, which was a low-level mod; but I think on ILX that would be more a punishment than a reward

i believe that this is what SB started out as but our evil mod overlords never finished coding. this is what pissed tuomas off so much.

over 200 hours on final fantasy 7

i remember i got to 9999999990 points in super mario world

this must have been way back when i was uh 28

WoW is up to lvl 80 now, btw

starcraft, probably

why do I always play the computers on big game hunters ;_;

probably either civilization 2 or heroes of might & magic 2. Put several hundred hours into both of these. At least I didn't basically drop out of college just so I could play more like a couple of people I knew at the time.

civ ii

207.3 hours of Team Fortress 2 (just did the math since you asked) and still playing now and then.

Possibly Sonic the Hedgehog for me. I played this for 2-3 hours a day every day for two years or so while talking on the phone in my bedroom. Just played through the whole game on muscle memory, basically. I don't think I could compare that with anything in the last few generations, where the last game I recall breaking 100 hours on was San Andreas.

Probably GTA IV, grinding the online multiplayer while unemployed. But the savegame is gone so no idea how long really.

Goldeneye I think. Me and three flatmates must've played between 4 and 7 hours a day for a solid 9 months. So that's about, what, 1500 hours?

final fantasy VII, goldeneye, Driver II all other games i've probably clocked hundreds of hours up on.

i have a perfect save of final fantasy tactics. thats a couple hundred hours on a single playthrough. add in the other playthroughs + various challenges and time spent on game mechanics stuff i bet its over 1000 hours.

other contenders: civ II, shining force II, civ III, disgaea, ssfIIt (snes)

Maybe Mario Kart 64? Kinda like goldeneye upthread. In college we played this game every day for 3 years straight. Marijuana was possibly involved.

mario kart 64 best incarnation by some distance, and probably my all time favourite multiplayer

Easily Madden, no idea how much time in total, but there was a time in my life when I would play all night and then go to work. Very sad, sleepy times.

Civ II, easy. This gen, probably Burnout Paradise - so perfect to just zone online and cruise, especially with the motorcycles.

Tekken 2 probably, fallout 3 for this generation

you guys are so much more hardcore than i am

I had footie managers 08 and 09 installed on my work computer two jobs ago, and would play in the background while working/not working. Hundreds of hours of that was played, surely. I did WoW a lot before the expansions, probably about 20 days worth. Other than that... I still boot up Gal Civ 2 a fair bit and play the crap out of that.

you guys are so much more hardcore than i am

lol dont u read like 1000 books a year or smthn

Seconding Starcraft. We'd play this for 20 hours a day in college. Never going to class. Until I flunked out.

I would just play the UMS games. defend the temple. lurker defense. ugh. ;_;

overt the years, almost certainly SFII in its three zillion forms.

Will check how long i've played Pro evo 6 online when i get home. And i've played it more than double that offline. It will be quite a lot. Played Counterstrike/Counterstrike: Source most days for at least an hour from about the year 2000 to maybe about 2006. So that's probably the winner.

weeks and weeks on frontier: elite ii

big shock. vice city. just thousands upon thousands of hours, shared between me and my house mate. (depended on who got home from work first)

146 hours online at pro evo 6. A lot more than that offline, on different iterations, on the playstation, etc. Still probably played Counterstrike more.

a lot of hours playing a game i will admit is pretty shit

(xxxpost) I didn't play much Elite, but apart from that a lot of my 8 bit lol80's BBC Micro games era was spent on Citadel.

And in the modern(ish) era, NFS:Underground, mainly grinding through those annoying drag races.

Either Diddy Kong Racing, Sonic 2, or Mario Party 2 :$

probably Super Mario 3 or one of those THQ-Aki wrestling games for the N64

I think I've played more Final Fantasy VI than every other video game combined. Regular games, perfect stats games, perfect steps games, low-level games, low-level natural-magic games, single character challenge games. Crazy.
