I'm about 95 hours into Fall Out 3, but that took me about a year. Spent close to 80 hours playing GTA IV, including the ballad of gay tony

Its ok, I had about 204 days on my main. Thats 4,896 hours...............

I started to play the game in closed beta but the 204 was started when WoW was released which was near thanksgiving of 2004. And to think I played it kind of mildly compared to a lot.

MMORPGs can waste a lot of your life. I'm not even sure how many hours/days I spent playing Diablo and Diablo II , probly quite a few.

The average WoW player has about 100 days of play time on a character. The problem is most players make 3 characters.......


Hi, I'm Marcus and I'm 18 months clean from my WoW addiction.

I've logged a bit of time on MW2, but I don't know how much. The only stat I pay any mind to is my kill/death ratio. It's around 1.13 now, but part of the reason it's so low is that I have friends over and we switch off. They die a lot...

I thought that save screen mooked familiar. I played P3 FES and quite enjoyed it. Not my favorite, but it was addictive. I think I ended up with maybe 100 hours. Never played the second game/part of the game that came with the FES. It would have been another 50 hours I'm sure.

The sad part is that I'm at that 650 hours and I haven't played through the second part either... Most of the fun of the game was the story progression, I honestly thought that going to Tartarus and stuff was a bit of a hassle sometimes. And in the second part that's all you can do.

Yeah, the Tartarus is most of the time spent, since the story progression doesn't really allow for much time. I'm not a big fan of everything being timed though. Once you do so much in a day you have to progress the clock and are one step closer to game completion. I like being able to take infinite time to level up and do whatever I need to do. Some stuff would sneak up on me and I wasn't prepared and would have to revert to a save points weeks prior and redo a lot of stuff, which was annoying. Still a fun game though. Very likable and interesting characters and a good story.

I have 56.8hrs in to Battlefield BC2 and 182hrs in to CODMW2. Although no longer play COD since BFBC2 is win. I forsee hitting a lot of hours in this game. At least until I give in to getting a ps3 for GT5 and FF.

Do it now! I'm bad about selling my consoles, only to want another one a year later. I think I've had at least 2 PS2's, 2 PS3's and 2 360's. About to buy another PS3 for GT5 and FF, plus a lot of other games not available for other the 360.

I just sold my three huge monitors (2 x 31", 1 x 36" - they are the black boxes in the pic below) and will probably sell off a few (three or four <G>) of my XBox 360s. I'm building a recording studio (yeah right) for my guitar/bass and needed the room. Online/mulitplayer used to be the **** for me but since I don't have any friends I don't have anyone to play with now.

You are, loser

I've threatened to quit all together several times when good games being released dropped to zero, and I couldn't find anything I enjoyed, but I always get an urge to play every now and then, and once in a blue moon someone will release a good game that I have to experience.

I only play a little bit and not online. You see, I like to have sex with women rather than frag teenagers on the intarweb. But that's just me.

Your mind too simple/small to allow you to do both? You don't have to do both at the same time you know. Durr

On the plus side, judging by this thread I must be the coolest guy side side of Milwaukee, as I have utterly no idea what any of this **** means.
