Oblivion used to be my benchmark. I played it for 100 hours and at the time thought that would never be topped. Twilight Princess first run through to 100% took me 60 hours another benchmark. Since then there are other games I have played a lot more. What are yours?

• Over 300hrs - Animal Crossing - various versions
• 300hrs+ still playing Splatoon
• 200hrs+ XCX
• 180hrs+ still playing BOTW
• 100hrs - Oblivion
• 60 hrs Twilght Princess and Harvest Moon a Wonderful Life

This is what I can remember off the top of my head.

For me its hands down EverQuest. I played it off and on for around 3 years, and even spent a month revisiting it around 10 years later. I while I was never super obsessed with it, I have to assume between all of that there was at least a 1,000 hours on it.

In the world of non-MMO games:

• Dragon Warior 7 - 240 hours - I played through the game twice, each time going 100 hours, and I've tried it a few other times usually giving up due to losing a save or because of a bad scratched disc that would inevitably freeze up.
• Harvest Moon (SNES) - 200 hours - I played through the game four times (average running play-through time 40 hours), and have messed around with it a few times since I was introduced to it in the late 90's.
• Azure Dreams (PSOne) 150 hours - It took me 10 years to beat this game. I started it off and on, and would always die, lose everything, swear off ever playing it again and delete my saves.... and ultimately restart it again a few months or years later.
• Dragon Quest 8 - 120 hours - Two play-throughs and one false start.

There's probably a lot more games that hit over the 100 hour mark if I think about it. God only knows how much I played Street Fighter II back in the day. It's got to be in the 300 hour range, not even counting the later iterations of the games. Mario Kart Wii and Splatoon easily have a couple hundred hours too.

Jeebus, you guys play games for long.    I think I played 'only' about 120 hours of Splatoon myself.  As for Mario Kart 8, it was a great game, but I found that I didn't actually play it all that much.  Sure, I did all there was to do, but didn't feel the urge to keep on playing it.

There are quite a few games over the many years that I've put 100+ hours into. Some of my more recent ones are:

• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
• Final Fantasy XV
• Gears of War 4
• Halo 5
• Forza 6
• Xenoblade Chronicles X
• Diablo III
• Call of Duty: Black Ops III

The hours have been building up for Halo Wars 2 and Mass Effect: Andromeda and will in all likelihood pass 100 hours as well.

Super Smash Bros. on the N64 my friends and played it practically every day for multiple hours a day from 1999 or 2000 until we all got Gamecube's in 2004.

That is at least 1,460 days; if we played 12 hours a day it would be 17,520 hours. I'm not sure the exact number of hours we played but it would have to be close to that number.

12 hours a day LOL

My friends and I spent countless hours playing Street Fighter II on the SNES back in the day.

Over 1K hours on DOTA2.

Almost 1.5K hours on Rocket League

Thousands of hours of shared between RuneScape, Ragnarok Online and Gunbound and Killzone 2 and Halo 2. I regret nothing.

Now we know what you've been doing.

I never kept track of this stuff so I'm only guessing I've poured ~500-750 hours into all of my playthroughs of Ocarina of Time over the years.

I'm certain I've poured 1, 2, 3000 hours into all the Guitar Heroes and Rock Bands over the years as well. Time well wasted.

The highest I've tracked would be the 127 hours spent in Skyrim, and that was simply the PS3 base game, no mods or DLC. Maybe someday I'll return, I loved that game.
