What games did you get the most out of?

This may be an old game but I have played it more than my other games, even my Madden 2009 game! It's called "Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter"!
 
Final Fantasy VI: I love this game so much it is so beautiful the story, characters, music is all really great. I have played it about 4 times.

Final Fantasy VIII: Another game that is so great this is the game that got me playing RPG's as a matter of fact. The main hero Squall is also the handsome man that inspired me to grow my hair long 7 years ago. I'll never cut it either. It has good story, and romance, as well as music.

Final Fantasy IX: This is one of the best games in the world with a story that is better than any game or movie or book ever! The game has such a magical beautiful energy to it the music, story characters everything is beautiful.

Chrono Cross: Basically equal to FFIX in all aspects of sheer awesomeness

Gran Turismo 2: I absolutly adore this game this is the first racing sim I ever played It is so nostalgic to me.

Gran Turismo 3: I like the menu music and all that as well as the physics in the game it has an overall good atmosphere to it indeed.

Gran Turismo 4: Need I explain more. GT4 the G25 or DFP and a good beverage sets you up for one awesome times for sure.
 
Well its tough, i have spent a many hours playing video games

I mean i started with an Atari 5200.

but i have to say that the most enjoyment i have received is from the more recent gaming era.

Stuff like

Goldeneye
OOT
FFVII
FFVIII
etc etc

But lately ive been devoting my time to the never dull GTA SA. and GT 4 (i found fun in Photo Travel, being i am a photographer and all)

as well ive been customizing cars in NFS Carbon and Most Wanted.

Soooo much fun!

hehe

i need a life
 
My most enjoyable games that I got the most out of were probably old PS1 games, mostly the Spyro or Crash Bandicoot series. I really enjoyed these two series of PS1 games and feel that they ruined them once they began to release new titles on the PS2.

And of course, every GT game has been enjoyable for me. :)
 
I got about 4 months out of Call of Duty 4.
Red Faction: Guerrilla I got it about a month ago and I'm only half-way through.
And Ratchet and Clank 3. I would replay it all the time. I think I completed it 9 or 10 times. It lasted about a year.
 
Well, I like to go system by system, thus:

NES - The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros., Mike Tyson's Punch Out, and Double Dragon
Genesis - Sonic the Hedgehog, Evander Holyfield's Real Deal Boxing, and Streets of Rage II
SNES - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Mario World, Super Mario All-Stars, and Street Fighter II Turbo

I have many games that I enjoyed but these are the ones I put the most hours in.

Super Mario Bros Deluxe - I never had a NES but I had this Game Boy Colour port of the original NES game. Beat this game countless times. I was probably at the point where I could put down a decent speed run time with it. Yes, it was that bad. :lol:

Pokemon Yellow - I don't even want to think about how much hours I put into this game. I almost completed the Pokedex. Had just about every Pokemon - the ones you had to trade to get, the rare birds, the hard to catch ones in the Safari Zone, the ones you could only get from buying them with the coins you won in the slot machines. I was hooked.

Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time - My favourite game of all time. Loved everything about it. The story, the music, the graphics, the gameplay, everything. Played this one over so many times. Of course I had my main game where I had all the heart containers, gold skulltulas, bottles, masks etc. :sly:

Perfect Dark - Spent a ton of time on this one back in the day. Rare definitely took everything good about Goldeneye and improved it in this game.

Grand Theft Auto 3/Vice City/San Andreas - Put a lot of hours in these 3 GTAs, especially San Andreas. Great games! Haven't played any of them in a while though but I definitely got a lot out of them.

Warcraft 3 - Great single player campaign but I was addicted to battlenet. Not so much the normal maps but the custom games. Dota, tower defense games, hero wars, footmen frenzy, SWAT, and the list goes on. It's crazy to think of the amount of time I spent on this game.

Diablo 2 - This was worse than Warcraft 3. Addiction doesn't begin to cover it. Hours and hours of mouse clicking and I would never get bored. I lost so much sleep on those late night Tristram, Mephisto, Diablo, Baal and Cow King Level runs just to get another rare/unique/set item The different skill trees of each character meant you could play through the story a different way each time even if you were using the same character class. I loved it. The equipment system was great too with so many different prefixxes and suffixes for the various items. Can't wait for Diablo 3.

Gran Turismo 3/4 - Excellent games that I still play regularly.

Combat Arms - Currently hooked on this game.

Honourable mentions include:
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1 & 4
Red Faction

Hi Master_Yoda,
In this days I also like to game ""Rise of nation "
i know you reach thee limit of population of 200.
to create wonder if italy tower it give 20% more population and send merchant to peapock resource so it will increase population limit.
just select china for speedy development and new research,,,,
:sly:
 
10: V-Rally ?
Dont know anymore which game version it was. But played this a lot when i was younger when visiting some friends of my dad. Somewhere in the 1998-2001.

9: Mario Kart
^^ Same as above actually.

8: Gran Turismo 2
A friend of mine had an playstation with this game, this brought me to the gt series. Played this extremely much in pretty short period.

7: Grand Prix World
I like manager games + I like F1 = Grand Prix World and since there has not been a new game yet to come out its still GPW from 1999. Also the reason that its editable is very nice.

6: Gran Prix Series (GP2,3,4)

Played it a lot since some of my friends are also F1 nuts ... Looking back at the games, its just shocking how poor they are. (gp4)

5: Gran Turismo 3
Played it a lot but not as much as gt4.

4: GTA San Andreas
First started playing on the ps2, but got stuck somewhere, after that i 'got' the pc version. And that extended the life of it so much with all the user content (mostly cars and busses haha)

3: WipeOut HD (+Fury)
Okay, maybe technically not the most played game YET. but has been my most played game on PS3 i think. And still loving it.

2: OpenTTD
It started with Transport Tycoon... couple of years ago i found the open (source) transport tycoon game and it brings so much more custom content.
Been playing this since 3-4 years almost every week.

1: Gran Turismo 4
Played this game for so many hours its almost scary ;) 4 Years long it was my most played game. Still play it sometimes.

+/- 8 hours a week * 52 = 416 * 4 = 1664 hours +/- :|

That would be 70 days... 2 months...
 
San Andreas Definately, i had it for my PS and played it religiously for a while, sold it, bought it again for xbox, sold my xbox bought it again for PS played a ton more, still have it, got the PC version, learned i can mod the cars and guns... Modded every car in the game, it freezes after 2 minutes of play. but my god was it worth it. i love the Ferrari F40, but when you change it to a 356 GTB.... mmmm funtimes

Golden eye has stolen my life for a while.

GT 2 was the first one i played without a gameshark and i just had so much fun with it. playing for hours, doing the crappy $3000 races just to buy a turbo co i could go through and upgrade my W8 twin turbo...

Lately its Been games like Oblivion and Warcraft

then we have Lost Odyssey... lets not go there
 
Socom 2= over 2000hrs logged in online.

NCAA football 09= Played 10 seasons of it online.

Tecmo bowl.= I still play this game 20 years later.

GT3= GT3 was the best to me, but that was probably because that's when I started playing it with friends.

No other games really compare to those 4 for me. Really socom 2 was by far the best bang for the buck for me, but the others got some serious time too.
 
Gran Turismo 2, 4
Resident Evil 4(PS2, GC) Outbreak file 1, 2
Call of Duty 4
Metal Gear Solid 4

I've spent more than 100 hours on these games :D
 
this is a good one ummm... ok,
Gran Turismo 1, 2, 3, 4,. The Tony Hawk ProSkater Series, GTA3 and NFSU2. other than the Gran Turismo games i've bought atleat 5 and 4 copies of GTA3 and NFSU2 since their release.
 
My 2^14 cents. Omitted many good ones that didn't quite compare in terms of played hours.

Ultima VI: The False Prophet (Commodore 64)
Never completed it but even so, many hours of gameplay... and loading.

Grand Prix Circuit (Commodore 64)
EIGHT tracks, beat Pole Position through and through.

F1 Grand Prix (Amiga)
Good, better with higher framerate (by modding)

Civilization (Amiga)
To be king... the highest difficulty was too tough but I bet the program's cheating at that level anyway.

Pinball Illusions (Amiga)
Didn't become a flipper deity, but... well that reminds me:

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (Amiga)
The point and click. Typically these kind of games are completed and left alone but this one I've replayed a few times.

Payback (Amiga)
Modding plus rampages, say no more.

Quake (Amiga)
This is not 'a game', this is an ecosystem.

Simcity 2000 (Amiga)
All there, so stop with the remakes already.

Worms (Amiga)
Fatality! :D

Tourist Trophy (Playstation 2)
The Ring, I must go now...
 
Buckle up kids, this is gonna be a long one so I'm gonna break this down into categories:
PRO WRESTLING:
Fire Pro Wrestling Returns-The first wrestling game where I'd actively work a match (IE let the AI get some offense in) and wouldn't mind losing. Some of the stupidest yet brilliant wrestlers I've ever came up with came from here (*cough*Orlando the Bear*cough*Yes you could create a wrestler that looked like a bear who could teabag their opponents*cough*)
EWR-Now I can have the book and own a promotion?
WWE series- 30 minute six man falls count anywhere free for alls in Shut Your Mouth. Stupid Ninjas tag team in SvR 2010. Bob the Achievement Gorilla from 12-2K14. Nonsensical storylines from Create A Story feat. The Great Khali's Poetry Corner.

VIOLENCE:
Grand Theft Auto series- So much of my musical tastes have been shaped by the series. Greatest multiplayer memory of mine (San Andreas w/sister, jumped out of an airplane she was flying I died but she lived. Also, CJ kissing Ballas for no discernable reason). ALL Y'ALL CIVILIANS GON DIE.
Diablo 2: My go-to game when I stayed the night at my grandmother's house. Loved that demon guy you'd come across while going to Blood Raven in Act I who'd blow up upon defeat.
Bloodrayne 2-Got disproportionate joy out of slicing the tops of people's heads off.
God of War- Same sister as the GTA story. Kratos only fights the cerberus hordes because his parents wouldn't let him keep a puppy he found as a kid.

FIGHTING:
Soul Calibur 2: Abused the heck out of Heihachi's super-basic punchpunchpunch combo. Trying to stage double knockouts.

DRIVING:
Gran Turismo series- Can still tell you the very first car I ever drove in it ('96 Corvette, yellow, Midfield). Grinding the crap out of races to break the game wide open. Beating the demo times in licenses out of sheer luck.
Need For Speed series-Can't touch this cops. I can drive on a toy track in a kid's room? Doing 1P online races to try cars out before I could unlock them.

SPORTS!:
Tony Hawk-So many marathons pre-memory card days. I CAN SKATE AS SPIDERMAN ON THE MOON :dopey:! PINK ELEPHANTS ARE EVERYWHERE MAN! The rhino easter egg if you know what I mean :sly:. 99 scores in Career Mode competitions via flagrant abuse of combos after timer expiring.
Madden: The tale of the Rocky Mountain Strongmen, the team who'd Hail Mary on every play and take a rookie QB to a 7500+ passing yard season and a 77-4 TD/INT ratio.

RPG:
Final Fantasy X- 7PM to 3AM marathons (took me roughly to the Mi'ihen Highroad). Learning the Jecht Shot and hiding behind my own goalie like a punk in order to win the first blitzball game. HA HA HA HA HA HA! HA HA HA HA HA HA! HA HA HA HA HA HA! Never beat the third Seymour fight.
Final Fantasy XII- Let them come, I know something of cages.
NetHack Falcons Eye: Climb on pony, fall off pony, die. Beating up hordes of ghouls until I became a shaolin monk martial-arts master.

ADVENTURE:
Spy Fox: Mr. Big Pig is a real jerk at Go Fish.

OTHER:
Minecraft- I like this fort I SSSSSSSSSSSSSBEWMDEAD.

Oh man. I had the most fun out of GT5. Lots of online racing with my friends, doing 100 lap NASCAR races around Daytona, trading, doing the endurance races. My favorite game to play online ever.
 
Gran Turismo 4, Forza 4, Grand Theft Auto V, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Burnout 3, PGR4, GTR2, Race Driver GRID & Saints Row 2
 
GT5 had me for a very long time.
Dead Island I put a similar amount of hours into
Driveclub has absorbed me the most
Borderlands (all three) is catching up, rapidly, having played BL2 and BL: TPS on both PS3 and PS4.
 
From recent memory:
WipEout HD - 465 Hours
Gran Turismo 5 - 500 odd Hours
Mario Kart 8 - 345 Hours
Driveclub - 2,125 events with a rough average time of 5 minutes per event - 177 Hours
Splatoon - 140 Hours
Pokemon ORAS - 126 Hours
Overwatch - 123 Hours
 
Hellcats over the Pacific (1991, Mac)
Combat flight simulator set in the Pacifics during WWII. As a US Navy Hellcat pilot you engage in various missions (bomber escort, scrambling to defend your base or your carrier against incoming attacks, dogfights, bombing enemy bases or ships). When your plane sustained too heavy damage to make it back to base you could try to ditch the plane (on land or in the sea) or bail out. If ditched or bailed out close to friendly forces you were rescued, and if close to enemy forces you were taken as a prisoner of war. I believe that you could also be missing in action, if you bailed out or ditched too far from any of the forces, in which case you weren't recovered by anyone.

Chuck Yeager's Air Combat (1991, Mac)
Combat flight simulator set in various times, ranging from WWII to Vietnam. You could select from a wide range of airplanes, my favourites were the USSR MiG-15 and the USAF F-86 Sabre. The campaign was a lot thinner than Hellcats' as I recall it, and I was mostly creating my own missions.

SimCity 2000 (1994, Mac)
Probably the best game. Ever.

Civilization II (1996, Mac)
Chess + history + geography + warfare = great success! If you played well, the game rewarded you by letting you add improvements to your palace.

Gran Turismo 2 (1999, PS)
I was hooked at the intro sequence. Partly because it was epic, and partly because it featured The Cardigans, and I thought it was so cool that a Swedish band was in this big Japanese game. Touring car racing was quite big around this time, STCC had started in 1996 and featured rather diverse grids (4WD Audi's vs FR BMW's vs FF Volvo's), so it was exciting to be racing and modifying all these roadcars in the game

Patrician 2 (2000, PC)
A Hanseatic trading game, set along the coasts of northern Europe in the late medievals / early renaissance. You start with a small boat and a little cash, buy some trading goods at your local harbor, then set sail to other cities to sell your goods there, hopefully for a profit... Eventually, you can start building more and bigger boats, equip them with weapons to defend against pirates (or, if you so desire, become a pirate yourself), build your own production facilities and climb on the ladder of society. I've never actually made it to the top, in the end I tend to get distracted by greed and just aim towards earning as much money as possible. Which usually ends in disaster, as I flood the markets with my trading goods and see the prices (and my profit) drop like a stock broker off the 50th floor in 1929. To master this game, you need to carefully balance your expansion... This is the oldest game that I still play from time to time.

Driver 2 (2000, PS)
Basically an action movie based entirely around car chases. What is there not to like?

Civilization 4 (2005, PC)
Civilization II squared.

Grand Theft Auto 4 (2008, PS3)
Driver 2 squared.

Gran Turismo 5 (2010, PS3)
Never had a PS2, but I was curious about how far Gran Turismo had come since the days of GT2, so I bought a PS3 and GT5 Prologue and was blown away. Bought my trusty DFGT wheel shortly after (and it's still going strong!), joined GTPlanet, and then bought GT5 when it was released. Played it as often as I could until GT6 was released.

Risk: Factions (2010, PS3)
Pretty much exactly like the boardgame. Why change a winning concept? The campaign was okay, but I only ever played it once, and then I went back to create my own custom games. This is a relatively small game, but considering how cheap it was it provides great entertainment for its value.

Grand Theft Auto V (2013, PS3)
Like GTA 4, but sandboxier. The range of activities you can do provides virtually endless replayability. The biggest flaw is the poorly designed online mode and the fact that a lot of the content is locked to this flawed mode. But apart from that it's pretty great.

Gran Turismo 6 (2013, PS3)
The next step of Gran Turismo. The increased focus on classic cars was an instant hit with me (I think that out of my top ten cars with highest mileage, the newest car is from 1991!). Since the course maker was released I've spent most of my time in the game building and racing on these tracks. And now that we've learned how to modify course maker tracks it's been taken to the next level.
 
For me, it has to be the Diablo Deries.
I never played Diablo 1, but clocked countless hours on Diablo 2 LoD.

I think, I already spent even more time on the third part as D2 was more of an on and off relationship, while I play D3 pretty constantly since it has been released.
If I remember correctly, I played about 2.000 hours on the PC version, when I switched to PS4 about 2 years ago.

It also is the only game, I've ever got a platinum trophy on.

Other games, I play(ed) for a fairly long time, are Elder Scrolls, the GTA series, the GT series, GT Legends and The Crew. The Crew actually stopped me from playing the more serious sims, as my focus shifted towards free roaming over actual racing and hotlaping.

GT Legends will ever have special place in my heart, as I never enjoyed a racing game more than this lovely sim. Had a great time at the Altbierbude!
 
Back
