Edited by DeedDomino: 2/8/2015 4:09:25 PMLove to see sports titles here. Been playing maddens since the original. Was a freshman in college when it was released on the genesis and Id hold tournaments for cash with local colleges. We'd get 64 people showing up to our rec room at 50 bucks each. Great memories.

The last of us, call of duty ( zombies mostly) , Alex the kid ( only completed it once, but if you remember there was no way of saving so it had to be done in one sitting). Shenmue on sega dreamcast( think that's how you spell it). Final fantasy VII
-
The one sitting thing reminds me of ghosts and goblins! That was a crazy 15 straight hours of gaming with no saves! Grueling
-
Skyrim and anything Fallout

-

Edited by VII: 2/9/2015 3:33:11 PMStar Wars: Battlefront (PS2) (+500 hours) I played that game every day for years before my PS2 broke down :( Quake II (multiplayer) (N64) (+200 hours) The close quarters maps, the high power guns. This was no game for carefulness, but rather recklessness. Demolition Derby (PS1) (-100 hours) I may have barely 75 hours in with this game. But still. There was no instance were I played this game and didn't laugh. And let's not even get started on the hilarious game breaking bugs Super Mario (NES) (+100 hours) Nuff said SW: Bounty Hunter (PS2) (+200 hours) This game was so aggravatingly hard when I was little I could not, for the life of me, beat this game. I'm going to have to go buy another PS2 just so I can give it another go. Also, good replay value Scars (PS1) (+100 hours) This was such a great casual racing game. I even got my mom to play with me. (My mom despises video games)

Edited by BelovedSonofGod: 2/8/2015 3:32:52 PMThis game offers hundreds of hours but it's all a grind. How many of the hours played offered a fun challenge as opposed to just rewarding you for participation? I used to chill in front of the loot cave and get hw done, for instance. Let's not forget the extensive load times and how it takes ~5 mins to switch characters.
