[@roryk101]

well, you never see it coming

[@CharaCoutureDrag]

Same. I bought Persona 5 about 6 months before I purchased my PS4, which I bought right after graduating college. I didn't have a job lined up for about 3-4 weeks, so I spent literally every day, anywhere from 2-13 hours at a time. My best friend from home had a full-time job so since I didn't have anything else to do, it satiated my need for any sort of social interaction. "Just one more day" became "well I'll finish this week" and then eventually "well it would be a crime to quit on the 23rd of the month, so I may as well finish it." Stardew Valley did the same thing until I started P5

I played FFX back on PS2 and completed it a few times. Then got FFXHD for Vita/PS4 completed the game in about 75 hours then last year decided to go back to it to get the platinum. So I loaded up the save just before the final boss and put a further 90-100 hours in to get the platinum filling up the sphere grids takes a lot of time lol.

Im a casual gamer but these games consumed me more than 200 hrs Skyrim, Witcher 3, MGS 5, Far cry 3, GTA 5

[@DelSolTypeR1987]

Rosie idk if you are going to read this but if you do: Train in the omega ruins to gain levels and decent loot, stay around the save sphere for the first day of grinding. Make sure you unlock the way so all of your characters can access eachothers grid the easiest way is through Kimhari's grid as he only need lvl1 key locks. Also switch in every char every fight, if you dont want attack with them just press triangle and they will go in a defensive stance automatically. That way all of your characters gain XP every fight. They only need one action per fight. You should be able to defeat the final boss without sinking hours into the monster arena or ultimate weapons anyway.

Whilst it wasn't on PlayStation, my game is Battlefield II: Modern Combat. My brother and I spent hours, and days, and weeks in that game. We'd quite literally come back from school and start immediately playing it, trying to rank up and pushing ourselves to try different classes each time. At one point we had an old sofa that we sat on and wrote on it in marker pen all of our kills. We actually played one map so much that we got really stuck into playing it (as we called it) Rambo style. No gun, just a Knife. You had to hunt around in the jungle, down on the beach and through buildings with a knife...no gun kills were allowed. And you know what, we'd end up coming out on top each map AND winning the objectives too - there was a lot of time spent delving into that game!

For me it’s Monster Hunter World. I had it pre-ordered and got it day 1, played about 2 or 3 hours and really hated it, didn’t understand it and couldn’t adjust to the combat. But then.... A random guy from the US I met on Overwatch Competitive I became good friends with and one day I notice he was playing Monster Hunter World. I asked him how could he possibly enjoy it with it being really tedious and such things. He spoke to me about it and then convinced me to install it again and give it another try and he would help me. He taught me how to play the game, the main purpose of the game and what to do, he basically taught me everything. Before he taught me about the game I had 2-3 hours total playtime. I now have 700+ hours, all Armour sets, most weapons, endless supplies, basically everything. It’s amazing how a game you dislike can quickly become one of your favourites when you learn about it and understand it.

If were talking about time spent on a game I remeber my first real jrpg grind (excluding pokemon) was Tales of the Abyss. For me that game was incredible because not only was it a jrpg, but it was the first I had ever played that allowed the player to freely move during combat, but the reason I spent so much time on it was because of the new game+ option. The game had a point system that allowed you to aquire points from combat and then start a new game and spend those points to increase the difficulty or lower it, to keep all your inventory from the previous game, etc. So at the end of the first week playing this game my friend asked me how many hours I had put into it and I was surprised to see that in a single week (first week playing it) I had logged in 142.3 hours of game play. Which meant I had spent all but 26 hours of my week just playing that game. Let's not discuss my overall hours played though...

Add the addendum to the end of the title "excluding Skyrim", because every last one of us would have to mention that. for me it's not even just the game itself, Skyrim MODDING has literally taken days of my life! just going through and finding all the best and most fun mods!

Sometimes just going in to have a walk around the beautifully realized (and heavily modded) world. Also, that doesn't include my very first playthrough on the Xbox 360 way back when it first came out. So much of my life... yeah...

[@Nathan-mt9im]

Probably Skyrim when it first came out, before my save got corrupted I sunk between 3000-4000 hours total. An honourable mention would be the re2 remake, despite getting the platinum I still enjoy that game like it's the first time I'm playing it, every time.

[@hoverauto2]

Nathan Nicol you played Skyrim for 125 days+ ? 🤔😑

[@Nathan-mt9im]

@@hoverauto2 it was more the intensity of the sessions, days at a time just not moving, this was a long time ago aswell, not to mention those hours might be off, but they were with just one character. I did make several other characters with a few hundred hours between them, but for my first massive game I'd say it was a decent effort

[@aznericxD]

Wow I’m so surprised and delighted to see FFX come up just when I started thinking bout picking it up last night This video was more useful as recommendations than your actually games recommendation videos

[@josephcaraballo8325]

It is sooo amazing u will love it put over 100 hours in it so fun

[@aznericxD]

Joseph Caraballo that’s what I keep hearing! Should i play Cold Steel and FFX at the same time?! 😆

[@detlevcordon712]

Witcher 3 after the release i played that until morning hours slept two hours wen't to work... came home and repeat the process...thank god for cereal and instant noodles during those days.

Since I don't always care about dropping whatever I'm playing just to play the neweet game, I've spent many months on single games, mostly in recent memory within the last 3-5 years, but I have played none of them as long as and as consistently as I have played the original Star Wars Battlefront 2. My Xbox 360 broke due to the dreaded red ring of death, and instead of fixing it it replacing it, I spent the entirety of my gaming life in 2010 playing Star Wars BF2 on my PS2 before finally getting an Xbox 360 Slim Arcade. I got crazy good at that excellent game.

Half Life 2, The Last of Us, the original Zelda all made time cease for me as a gamer.

[@Deamons64]

Modern Warfare 2 has consumed my life on multiple occasions. Across my friends XBOX, 2 PSN accounts, and a steam account, I’ve prestiged probably 17 times, in total. I still play that shit on PC too. It’s great.

[@oliverbath6028]

I’ve been missing you guys and there’s only been a day in between uploads 😭 And the Friday Feature playlist has made my days go too many times 😂 Also, I’d assume Destiny is Nath’s pick and if not I think it still holds up

[@nicholaslennox8697]

Destiny 2 when it first came out because I had preordered it and spent days upon days just grinding up my characters until I maxed all of them out then I had nothing left to do but my friends were still leveling up so I joined them. This went for a solid month. The most amount of hours I’ve ever spent was on pokemon diamond for the DS Lite (somewhere around 400-500 hours).

[@darkcerberus72]

MGO1 was my first online game too, it was bloody awesome. Still have friends on PSN from back in those days

[@Sir_Stalker]

Loved Rob’s entry! I have a similar story, but with a happier ending. I actually met one of my best friends thanks to Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence and Metal Gear Online. He reached out to me when he saw on a forum that I was buying a PS2 Internet Adapter to play MGO. We started chatting and playing together as soon as the game came out. We played god knows how many hours of MGO, and ended up becoming actual friends outside of the game and gaming forums. We met and still to this day, we are very good friends. I miss MGO, that game deserves to get a new release, including all original maps of MGO1 and 2. P.S.: Best mode was capture the frog!

[@Velocity_Eleven]

the Tony Hawks games is how I got into music, THPS2 introduced me to what is still today my favourite band of all time (Bad Religion). Also Dave mentions that to listen to No Cigar he'd have to buy the album, it's a good album (Pennybridge Pioneers)

[@0DarkEagle]

Final Fantasy 15, yeah I had a lot of fun playing that. I played it 3 times and already started a new one because I love that journey.

[@nyxmugen]

GTA San Andreas, MGS Peacewalker, MGSV The Phantom Pain, Castlevania Curse of Darkness, Metal Slug are just some of the games I lost days. Bonus: Pokemon and League of Legends

[@Matthew-Fletcher]

Back in the day I spent thousands of hours maybe more on Gran Turismo 4 and NFS Most Wanted 2005. My friend and I would play split screen GT4 every weekend for years. We adored it.

[@CallumMyers1995]

Persona 5. Nuff said

[@ChrisGamefield]

Persona 5 took over my life when it came out, played it when I was not working, eating or sleeping

[@evilmingdoctor]

it was wise to put dave's entry at the end - had to look up tony hawk's pro skater soundtracks after this! I got more heavily into thps3 though, so cycling through that one now!

[@Dreguhl]

Days gone -Skyrim -God of War -Battlefield 3 online -Alundra (ps1 game, completed it) And many more than I can remember.. Lets just say every game I play😂

[@jovanator94]

Rob, I really feel you with the first metal gear online and the reason you think it was the best is because it was! Don’t get me wrong I loved metal gear 4 online. But the maps and the the pace of MGS3 online was so good that whenever you died, you knew that it was your problem because the game was so balanced and tactical. I never got to experience MGS3 online until I got the PS3 at launch and at that time the PS3 was able to play PS1 and PS2 games and any PS2 game online worked with the PS3 online service. I remember playing this PS2 game on my PS3 until MGS4 came out. All this time I had a next gen system playing a last gen game 😂 that’s how good it was! RIP the original MGO

[@TheFlyinSquirrel]

Metal Gear solid series. I beat guns of the patriots 21 times since it was one of 3 ps3 games I owned at the time in High school. Metal gear solid 5 came out the week before my final semester at college so I took off of work for the entire week before school and did a last junvenille hurrah and played it for 60 hours. Metal gear solid 3, I once forgot a character's name off the top of my head and, instead of just googling it, decided to play through MGS3 entirely in the following 8 hours. It was the Fury, idk how i forgot that XP
