for me i don't spend much more than an hour or 2 hours, unless the game is extremely good and really gripping i usually don't play for long stretches. There are times where i play up to 5 hours, though, usually then i'm playing to see more of the story or just because the game gets addicting.

I like games, but usually i get tired after playing them for a while. Plus it's nice to know how much time other people spend on games

For most games I'd say my sessions are around 1-2 hours.
As much as I like gaming, generally after 2 hours I get the itch to go do something else.

Every now and then there's a game I get really into and in those cases I can definitely go for 3-5 hour sessions, but there's usually no more than 1-2 games like that a year (this year it was Elden Ring).

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
On a single session ?

Holy shit I can't imagine sitting 5 hours, let alone the other options, in a single fucking setting lol.

There is a place in Second Life called siren island. It's one of the few public places with voice activated. A fat avatar perpetually fishes from his custom tugboat. The guy is super friendly and chats over voice about interesting topics. The day before Christmas Eve he was giving a lecture about how to properly restore old cars which was highly educational. He also related everything to the 32 year old trans girl he knows in Colorado whose ass he was planning to eat next month. Second Life is great.

30 minutes. Rarelly a game will keep me playing for more than an hour.
Exceptions are Destiny when doing stuff with friends. And Subnautica when I reach some sort of trance state.

I think the longest I played a game was splitting time playing ff3 (ff6 now) over winter break in middle school. My buddy and I went close to 30 hours switching the controller back and forth.

Drank lots of coke and orange juice that session. My buddy kept drinking those two so much that in high school he developed an ulcer.

usually only a few hours. if a game really grips me then i could do 10-15 hours a day.

elden ring was maybe about 5-6 hours a day. with Persona 5 Royal i was playing it about 10-12 hours a day.

Yeah i get restless easily and have to do small chores or whatever in between.

Although that wasn't the case with MGSV Death Stranding BoTW from recent memory.

Most gaming sessions I have rarely last more than 30mins, kids and wife wants mattention or there's always some shit I have to deal with.

If it's about the total time I can spent playing video games, then 1 hour a day if I am lucky.

If I'm playing a co-op survival game like 7 Days to Die with friends, I can do 8-hour marathon sessions and still be bummed when it's time to log off for the day.

For single-player, Hour One, I'm still getting into the groove. Hours Two-Three, I'm best-immersed. If I play beyond Hour Three in a single sitting, I'm probably playing one of the all-time greatest. Not many games can hold my attention for 3+hours.

Depends on the game. Usually it's something between 1 to 4 hours, sometimes even 5 or 6... but with some games I've gone as far as playing for 12 hours straight lol, like with Elden Ring or BOTW.

When I organize a LAN Party they are usually 6 to 8 hours long.

if I work until 11 at night and the kids and wife are asleep I’ll game for about 3 hours. On my days off which I usually have four off a week I’ll game from about 930am until 2am unless my daughter gets up and then I’ll take care of her.

When it’s a normal week where I just work 3 12 hour shifts or two 16 hour shifts i won’t game at all on those days unless I bring my switch to the hospital and game when we have downtime which is usually between 2 and 5 am.


Have to squeeze it in when I can.

Back in the day when Destiny raids dropped we would go for 18 hours (at the longest but that was before kids.

Taking it way back to the Gears of War 1 and 2 days I’d do 12 hour sessions of game battles matches at night. Get offf of work at 11pm, hop on and game until 12pm and then sleep an hour, eat, shower, go back to work for 3pm. Too old for that shit now

Yeah! Gotta keep the dream alive.

We usually play some Left 4 Dead 2 campaigns, but last time we also played a Heroes of Might & Magic 3 match and also some Vermintide 2. I'd like to play much more stuff, but sadly my friends don't have great PCs. :goog_relieved:

Per session not much, from 30 minutes to an hour or two if it really catches my fancy. Partly I don't have the time anymore, partly getting distracted by other things(hobbies, priorities). However on rare moments I'll get in some crazy long hours with my friends in a big MP session.

After 4-5 hours I'm going to want to grab a meal or take a restroom break or something. But if I'm playing through something for the first time then I'll do several sessions in a single day.
