[General Discussion] Longest Run!!!!!

-Longest stretch of playing the same game (How many hours (days)): 34 hours.

-Which game? Final Fantasy VI

-Why did you play for so long? It was when the game had first dropped, and a buddy of mine and myself just became engrossed in it. The story was so gripping that I couldn't put it down. I think I finally fell asleep at the controls.

-Were you wickedly sick afterwards? Nah, I just slept for about twelve hours, woke up, and turned it back on.


What's the longest logged hours you've ever put into a game? In a single game? Because if we're talking combined times of return to play again type stuff, then definitely FF VI or FF Tactics. Though Shining Force II and Dragon Force could both give it a run for its money, I'd wager. But if we're talking on a single file, then easily FF X. Blitzball suckered me in hard and I logged over 100+ hours on that alone. Though I also logged a ton of hours in ShadowRun for the Genesis and Suikoden V.


It tends to be games with either really good nation building aspects, where I can create and tend and micro-manage towns/cities/countries or exceptionally strong stories that really sucker me in. I absolutely love a game that can properly engross me, but they've become increasingly rare in the newer gen games; so much so I'm considering opting out of the next gen completely.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
