Pokémon Red 460 hours
Pokémon blue 272 Hours
Pokémon yellow 771 hours (My favorite and when I finally got a link cable to transfer Pokémon)
Pokémon silver 0 (battery save must have died, was around 300 hours last I remember)
pokemon gold 895 Hours (most of this was leaving my sp on the charger. probably only 400-500 actual gameplay hours)
And those are just my most played titles I have between 100-300 hours in every pokemon game I own (except Y which I just got last month and that was mainly to complement the system I got it for)

After that the next closest game would probably be either dark cloud 2 (roughly 150 hours leveling weapons) or shadow of the colossus (beating the game ~50 times)

now that I think about it runescape takes the cake. with no definitive answer but I have had my current account for 12 years and before then I had an account for probably a year-year and a half till it was hacked. anyway about 13 years of account where the first 3 year I played religiously for 1 hour a day (me and my brother shared our 2 hour allowance because internet was pay per time used not pay per month) so ~1000 hours. quit playing for a year till internet turned to a pay per month model played for a year at about 2-3 hours a day so ~1200 hours. qut for 3 years picked it back up for ~6 months at 4 hours a day so ~700 hours. quit till I went to college and played for 1 and a half years at about 4-5 hours a day so ~2500 hours. quit till august of 2015 and have been playing on average about 6 hours a day ~3 on weekdays and 8-12 on weekends so ~900 hours so far this time.

so I have sank ~6300 hours into runescape total. (of course most of those numbers are a rough estimate but I am beyond confident that I have put over 5000 hours into it)... almost 9 months in 13 years.. god I must love this game. that and the fact that depending on what skill you do you can afk and do other things, like watch tv.

EDIT: just so you know runescape 3 scares me and I will only play rs2
shfan:
That would be Diablo 2 and Age of Empires 2/3 on the PC. Despite mostly being a console gamer and not liking to stick with particular games excessively (used to be I didn't even beat them, now I at least try to finish them), there was a period of time like 15 years ago when these were constantly in front of my eyes. The only other games which might come close are Oblivion (ES IV) and Fallout 3, both of which I've beaten from the beginning a few times.
ComanderSheppard:
Mass Effect. Have beat it about 10 times at roughly 30 hours a play through.

When I reviewed games in the late 90s - early 2000s I was sent a free copy of Final Fantasy XI Online and the PS2 hard drive.
So I started playing FFXI to write a review and ended up playing it for about eight years, I started on the PS2 and ended on the XB360.
I spent so much time building a character then quit due it became to much to keep it up and now the servers are being shut down this month. Eight years of my life and everything I built is gone, I can never go back.
This is part of the reason I don't like online only games, I have sworn to myself to never play another MMORPG especially one that requires a monthly fee.

The only way to play online games overall without regrets is to be pro at them and join tournaments and earn money with them. Still hough the chances and the people who already do this make the chances kinda slim.

Leaugue of legends players for example earn sometimes millions. even the lesser players earn 100.000's a year still though you have to be really good. I highly doubt those people will have any regrets when Lol quits with them servers.
