Well, it is impossible to know for sure exactly how much time did someone spent playing a determinate game, especially with the older generations... But if I had to guess, my top 14 (why fourteen?) would probably be:

1) Alex Kidd in Miracle World
2) The King of Fighters '98: Dream Match Never Ends
3) Metal Gear Solid
4) Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War
5) Final Fantasy VII
6) Final Fantasy VIII
7) Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere
8) Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyu 8
9) Garou: Mark of the Wolves
10) Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
11) Sonic The Hedgehog (Master System)
12) Final Fantasy IX
13) Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse (Master System)
14) Sapo Xulé vs. Os Invasores do Brejo (AKA Psycho Fox)

Oblivion/Skyrim/Fallout 3/Fallout New Vegas
RuneScape (popular browser based MMORPG when I was early teen)
A MOBA game that will not be spoken of but has 3K hours in
Mount and Blade: Warband
PAYDAY The Heist / 2
Rainbow Six Siege
HITMAN
Forza Motorsport 5 (came with XB1 and was launch title so one of few things to play for like a year straight) and Forza Horizon 2 ... just got really into it at the time for some reason
Sniper Elite 3 authentic difficulty
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2
Red Dead Redemption 2

A MOBA and MMO certainly got the most play. They may not have been most fun but were most addictive. Then stuff like Bethesda rpgs and multiplayer FPS games.

I played a ton of Mario on SNES and N64 but I was so young I have no comprehension of the actual time spent. I used to play 99 stock (lives) matches of Super Smash on N64 and GameCube endlessly that I can’t put an hour figure on either.

I was really into Left4Dead, that was so fun and novel when first out.

I’ve played a lot of dynasty warriors too.

My most played when I was younger was Super Mario 3 / World on SNES. It was basically the only game at the time. Super Mario 64 got a ton of play time too.

My most played ever is probably a MOBA at 3,000 hours (not a joke nor exaggeration).

Single player wise in recent times definitely Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3/NV.

When Xbox came out I compulsively played Halo 1 and 2 too.

A lot of stuff is kinda ‘one and done’ especially when I was too young to have a job and trading in each time to get something new.

I haven’t played a lot of multiplayer titles but that is where the big play time racks up because it’s different every time and infinitely replayable.

Some games I was extremely fond of I haven’t played more than once e.g. Bioshock.

I’m always hoping for something that I can play for a really long time because I love it and not because I’m addicted to it. HITMAN and Sniper Elite 3 authentic difficulty gave me that kind of feeling.

Including expansions on particular titles.

1. Street Fighter IV
2. StarCraft
3. WarCraft III
4. Street Fighter III: Third Strike
5. Twinkle Star Sprites
6. Garou: Mark of the Wolves
7. Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
8. Marvel vs Capcom 2
9. Dance Dance Revolution Extreme
10. The King of Fighters 2002
11. Guardian Heroes
12. Trap Gunner: Countdown To Oblivon
13. Gotcha Force
14. Killer Instinct

In the late nineties played plenty of RTS games such as Age of Empires, Command & Conquer but no where near as much as StarCraft series, eventually WarCraft III. My friends would have LAN tournaments. As a kid I spent countless hours playing Killer Instinct on SNES performing "Ultra" combos against my friends. Guardian Heroes replayed plenty times with countless hours put into versus mode. Trap Gunner on Playstation was one game I always came back to playing even several years later. Gotcha Force was one of the few GameCube games I've owned spending hours unlocking all the characters.

Street Fighter III and Marvel vs Capcom 2 spent countless hours unlocking hidden characters (MVC2) playing tournaments against my friends (SFIII) on the Dreamcast. Years later playing Street Fighter III: Online Edition on Xbox 360. Dance Dance Revolution Extreme on PlayStation 2 was a frequent game I came back to for a year. I spent many hours playing Twinkle Star Sprites, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, The King of Fighters 2002 on GGPO (Fightcade) versus online.

Although the number #1 spot goes to Street Fighter IV. Spending countless hours and playing for several years, participating in tournaments, and fighting against known e-sports figures.

Post by: kashell on February 04, 2019, 11:35:18 am
1. Smash Bros. Series - I grouped them all together. Other than the 3DS version, I've played countless hours of Smash. Specifically, the original, Melee and Brawl due to couch co-op.
2. Star Ocean: The Last Hope International (480 hours)
3. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (90 hours)
4. Radiata Stories (85 hours)
5. Mega Man X4 - not sure on this one, but I replay it all the time and played it about every day during the PlayStation era.
6. Tales of Berseria (150 hours)
7. Tales of Symphonia Chronicles (200 hours)
8. Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition (80 hours and counting. I'm still not done yet!)
9. Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (100 hours)
10. Final Fantasy Tactics (200 hours across multiple playthroughs)
11. Star Ocean Integrity and Faithlessness (I think 120 hours)
12. Tales of the Abyss (200 hours across multiple playthroughs)
13. Breath of Fire III - again, not sure because I played it so many times.
14. Valkyrie Profile - same situation as Breath of Fire III.

Title: Re: The Top 14 Games You Think You Spent The Most Time Playing
Post by: marvelvscapcom2 on February 04, 2019, 12:05:04 pm
1. Call of Duty World At War  (At least 2,000 Hours)
2. Grand Theft Auto Vice City (1000+ Hours)
3.  NBA 2K16  (720 Hours)
4.  NFL Street 2  (1000+ hours)
5.  Call of Duty Black Ops 2 (650 hours)
6. Forza Motorsport 6 (400 hours)   
7. Grand Theft Auto IV-V  (At least 1,000 hours between the two.  I don't know which one I played more)
8. Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsonal (500 hours)
9. Gran Turismo 4 (at least 700 hours)
10. Kingdom Hearts  (200+ hours)


I can't know for sure on many and i'm just estimating.  But Call of Duty World At War was a game I started playing when it first came out in 2008.  I was in 5th grade, and I used to play on Xbox 360 Xbox Live with my 11 year old friends just completely binging it.  My brothers, my brothers friends.  We had a giant clan.  I mean on summer vacation, it was everything.  From the moment we woke up, until the moment I went to bed.  A good portion of my family.  It was special.  And at the time it was new and amazing.  This continued for many years.   Then I was in middle school 7th until 8th grade.  And me and my best friend at the time played nazi zombies every single day.  Looking up cheats and hacks to survive until round 100 and pack a punching all the DLC guns on der reise.  But mostly nacht der untoten.  I have played this game easily more than any other game.  And even still all these years later I recently did a veteran play through (which is hell).   I think it's one of those games that i'll fire up and reminisice until the end of time.  It brings back so many fun memories that I wish I could relive :(


As for a few of the other ones.  Like NFL, NBA and Forza.  Those 3 games are designed to consume time and be addictive.  they just really absorb you.  The level up system, the idea of making more and more money fuels you to play more but than you can get the car you always wanted but then you realize a month went by  ;D

It is interesting because we can actually track playtime these days, and I can't make a real good estimation of some games vs others. Based on how long I have played certain games that I know the time, so any others are merely guesses. The top three are set in stone for certain and in the correct order, despite not being tracked. I didn't consider modding time in these guesses, as that would have put games like NHL06 into the #4 spot.

1 . Major League Manager [PC] (1993 to present)
2. Diablo II + Lord of Destruction [PC] (2000-2009)
3. Quake 3 Arena [PC] (1999 to 2017)
4. Quake [PC]
5. Starcraft [PC]
6. Civilization V [PC] (356 hrs)
7. Fallout: New Vegas [PC] (319 hrs)
8. Skyrim [PC] (285 hrs)
9. ESPN Baseball [PS2]
10. The Sims 2 [PC]
11. Pinball Arcade [PC] (173 hrs)
12. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 [PC] (144+ hrs)
13. Williams Pinball HOF [PS2]
14. NHL 2001 [PC]

I don’t think the OP is specifically asking for playtime, but more in the sense of how long have you sat down to play a game, as in sitting down to play a game for a whole day, perhaps two in a row versus counting/clocking the time you’ve been playing. I mean, I could be wrong, but that’s the impression I get when he says “[t]here are some games I remember playing, for vary long play sessions…” Keyword being sessions. That’s what my answer is being based on.

Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy X (Monster Arena FTW!)
Final Fantasy XII (and the funny thing is I haven’t even reached the middle of the game yet...I’ve just kept BSing around)
Kingdom Hearts II
God of War
Shadow of the Colossus
Sub Rebellion
Super Smash Bros. Brawl (I pretty much couldn’t stop playing this game for whatever reason until one day I just went “meh” and that was it)
Mario Kart DS
Pokémon Blue Version
Pokémon Diamond Version
Blood of Bahamut
StarFox 64 (I used to compete for higher scores with a friend of mine)

1. EverQuest (Three different accounts. Two in which I dual boxed.)
2. World of Warcraft (Pales in comparison to my EQ days, but nonetheless I clocked a lot of time into this MMORPG.)
3. Final Fantasy VI (My all-time favorite game. I've played this start-to-finish over 50 times at least.)
4. Warcraft III (Most of the time is from playing skirmishes.)
5. Diablo 2 (Multiple playthroughs over the years.)
6. Final Fantasy VII (Normally a game I play once a year.)
7. Chrono Trigger (Completed every ending, and play it once a year.)
8. Gears of War 2 (I wish I knew the amount of time I clocked playing horde mode and the time to 100% the achievements.)
9. Gears of War 3 (Absolutely loved playing this with 3 other friends.)
10. Phantasy Star III (My first JRPG and I didn't know what I was going. Multiple restarts, branching generations, and backtracking.)
11. Final Fantasy X (Yearly play, plus platinuming the game.)
12. Diablo (Still play it at times to this day, and was my first online game.)
13. NHL 18 (I own several of the NHL releases, but none of the others compare to the time I put into 18's Franchise mode.)
14. Ken Griffey, Jr Baseball (Loves this game on the SNES. I never completed a season since the saves would always erase, along with the edited teams.)

Hmmm... This is a bit of a guess, but I think I have an Idea(order may be slightly off). I checked the playtimes where applicable.

1. Ragnarok Online (I play this on and off, but have done so for years, so I think it's safely assumed 1st.)
2. Animal Crossing: New Leaf(314 hr.)
3. Splatoon 2 (210 hr.)
4. Pokemon: Soul Silver (141 hr.)
5. Pokemon Alpha Sapphire (117 hr.)
6. Rune Factory 4 (104 hr.)
7. Tales of Graces F (I've played through this game with three different people)
8. Kingdom Heart II.5 Remix
9. Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town
10. Harvest Moon DS Cute
11. Harvest Moon: Magical Melody (AWL would be in this spot instead though if I combined all three versions of the game I'm sure, but I decided not to combine anything.)
12. Persona 4 Golden
13. Project Diva Future Tone
14. Project Dive F 2nd

Interesting question.
The only 2 games I know the play times for sure are at the top, the rest is guesswork:

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - 260+ hrs
Fallout 3 - 100+ hrs
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy X
Chrono Cross
Shadow of the Colossus
Bioshock Infinite
Mass Effect series (2 full playthroughs per game)
Metal Gear Solid 2
Resident Evil 2
TMNT (arcade)
The 7th Guest
Doom II
Duke Nukem 3D
Myst

Those last 4 were while I was in college. I would neglect my studies to play those games for hours on my PC. And yes, I included TMNT arcade...playing through it only takes 20-30 minutes, but I’ve played through it so many times I can’t count, both in the arcade and via emulator.

Tough question since time played isn’t something I really pay attention to that much unless my real life is being affected negatively but there are some games I know I have spent a lot of time with

1.  Borderlands 2 (over 800 hours...heh)
2.  Final Fantasy XI Online (600+).  In fact flunked out of a year of college due to this game
3.  Fallout: New Vegas (300)
4.  Bioshock Series (200+) First one is my favorite game of all time and the reason I bought a 360
5.  Skyrim (150+)
6.  Final Fantasy 7 (100+)
7.  Xenogears (80+)
8.  Final Fantasy 12 (80+)
9.  Borderlands (75+)
10.  Armored Core Series (60+)
11.  Final Fantasy IV & VI (60+)
12.  Metal Gear Solid Series (60+)
13.  Ratchet & Clank Series (40+)
14.  Assassin’s Creed Series (40+)

This is just an estimate but I think I’m pretty close.  Anyway great question!
