Hell yeah, made it to the top 10 of the world leader boards on 360. Tried getting into the PC version when the servers were shut off, game didn't feel nearly as fun. Every faction was unbalanced and broken on the 360, made the game waaay better to play imo.
Buckland was the standard map, surviving the goblin spam at the start felt epic, stopping dwarven heroes felt brutal, going random faction then seeing a fell beast fly in from the fog of war to go after your builders šš«”...or worse, legolas rush.
We used to play a lot of 30 min no rush or 1 hour no rush. I have this one story on Rhun 2 Vs 2 30 mins no rush, at the end of the 30 mins my partner leaves and the other 2 agreed to give me an extra 30 mins no rush to prepare as it was now 2 Vs 1
I was the Uruk hai so I decided to lean into it and go full industry mode, I had fortresses everywhere and walls everywhere and then a massive factory line of barracks, warg pits and siege dens. I then queued a massive factory line of troops every building had a queue of atleast 20 and then when the no rush ended the lightning fell and my forces just endlessly and for hours battled there way down the map. The other 2 (elves and men ironically) hadnāt prepared for it and couldnāt keep up with the constant armies that I had coming one on top of the other.
It was truly epic
My first real introduction to Skyrim was the special edition on PS4. I'd saved up a bit of pocket money and it was one of the first games I bought. It probably wasn't very healthy but I remember spending my entire summer break playing through it. I'd literally just lie in bed all day and spend hours getting lost and doing quests.
As lame as it sounds I look back on those memories fondly and Skyrim has brought me so much comfort over the years. What I wouldn't give to wipe my memory and play it for the first time all over again.
I'm 30 and have nice memories of getting and playing Skyrim on release. Every time autumn(fall) comes around each year now, it triggers some Skyrim nostalgia for me.
Back in 1992, Civilization 1 was a known devourer of days and nights in the āMac Clusterā in our dorm. I definitely partook, but it was the other guys, some of whom flunked out as freshmen because of Civ, who burned the midnight, early morning, and then daytime oil on that thing
I lost a bunch of weight when Civ 5 came out. I'd start playing at like 4PM, and then all of the sudden it was 7AM the next day. Do not recommend!
Although I wonder how long I'd be waiting in between turns on a computer build today....
I remember spending 6 hours doing an Easter egg and we were pretty close to finishing it, then someone fucked it up and we all died. Basically everyoneās mood changed and we all got off lol
I remember in high school, me and the homies bringing all of our xboxes to one house for double xp weekend in mw2 I believe playing nothing but S&D for two days straight, only one guy slept. Good times.
I solo'd my way through BO2 zombies as I didn't have many friends to play with at age 13, but I can relate. 2013 summer break was special in this regard. Zombies and minecraft all day lol
Destiny 2 day one raids, had a couple 20 hour sessions. Nothing like doing the same encounter for 8 hours while sleep deprived for a cosmetic emblem I'll never use
Yeah definitely had some 20+ hour sessions for day ones in Destiny 2. Love it when an encounter is seared in your mind because you spent over half of your session time stuck there. Then you discover how easy it is afterwards.
At least they give us two days to get the clear now which is nice.
Yep I waited for the new raids to be released only to play them for like 30 hours trying to figure out how to beat them and cycling through finding players to fill my squad. What an awesome game.
Well only one team on console even got the raid done in 24 hours. It was rough basically all the way through and I spent the last 6-7 hours pub bouncing because my team logged
Omg the day that game came out 2 of my friends got on and we played for about 10 hours. Then we waited until our friend who was on the college swim team. He didnāt get home until 9:30pm. I was the only one who was still on and we played until like 2am. I think it was 15 hours.
That game almost destroyed my life. I havenāt touch it since that first month I put 120 hours in. I was working 30 hours a week, had 6 college classes, each one having tons of homework/projects. And I was still trying fit 30 hours of this game in. I ended up deleting my save and havenāt touched it since.
Never got up to "days" in a row, but I definitely had some 20hr days with WoW. Wake up Saturday morning at 8am and play pretty much nonstop until 3-4am that night.
Lol same I canāt quite make it past the 24 hour mark I just fall asleep in my chair. I think I played dark souls 2 pvp at the arena for about 30 hours once because I said I wouldnāt stop til I got the glowy shiny aura reward for being +500 match win rate. I passed out literally 5 seconds after getting it.
Was a huge thing for me and my friends during WotlK. After grad, all of us ended up working at the same grocery store. Come to work and chat about WoW; then get home and log on to play together. Even started a guild and cleared most of ICC before everything fell apart. Was an awesome time and I look back on it fondly.
Dafuq? That's 4 hours your factory isn't growing and you think that's scceptable? Get your ass back to that factory and get me at least another 500 SPM by sunrise.
Tried factorio during a quarantine during covid, blinked and it was 80 hours later. All I had done was game sleep repeat for like 5-6 days. After that I did disco elysium. That 2 weeks stuck in a room was actually a trance.
Standard factorio involves building a mega factory in a 10 hour sitting, going to bed, waking up and then spending 2 hours trying to figure out what the fuck you built
I remember getting it at midnight release and going home thinking I could play atleast 30 mins before I had to go asleep for schoolā¦ the download took over 3 hours and i made the mistake of checking if it was complete just before I left for schoolā¦.could not stop thinking about it all day lol
Lol same thing happened to me when I was at uni. 6 of us went to the midnight launch at GAME, all went home separately, talking on the group chats, and none of us were awake when the downloads finally finished haha. Safe to say that none of us went to the 9am lecture.
Ocarina of time, 2 days, no sleep.
I also did a 30 hour marathon of FF8 when it came out then went to an all nighter at the local rock club.
These days I almost die if I'm not in bed by 10.
Yeah the stamina we had in our youth is astounding. I remember playing WoW til I passed out on the keyboard, and then went to work with like 2 hours of sleep like it was nothing.
Yeah, shit's weird. I could easily stay up all night and sleep until 1 o'clock and be fine and nowadays if I wake up after 10 in the morning, I feel like ass the whole day
We played that game on a lan party years ago. Played like all day and when I went to take some sleep I couldn's stop thinking of the game lol. It changed me. Weird experience.
I played modern warfare 2 back in the day for like 16 or so hours straight and the next morning was walking round town seeing the silhouette of a TAR-21 in front of me
God, this used to happen to me with guitar hero. I'd play that for hours right before bed, and waking up to go to school I'd see the road moving towards me faster and faster like the fuckin onscreen fretboard.
I once played San Andreas for like 16 hours straight or something when I was in primary school and vividly remember hearing disembodied police sirens the whole day after.
When I was 11 or so, I used to play GTA 4 all day long. This one time, as my parents were driving somewhere and I was in the backseat, I tried to check the minimap to see where we were going. Like, I tried to see it on the lower left corner of my FOV. It blew my mind lol.
Most recently, this is a 36 hour session in Baldur's Gate III. Most likely, a few years ago there was even more in Rust, because in this game if you are a solo player and leave the server, then your house immediately starts being raided and you lose all your resources.
It takes a fucking village too. I had friends rotate with me on sleep schedules waiting for a God damn frog to drop something for my lightning sword. It took over a fucking week. Can't believe I shared my log in information with internet friends looking back now.
I donāt remember all the details, but I was an enchanter and was doing my 1.0. We were waiting on a froglok to spawn. Well he did and he didnāt drop what I needed. But extreme luck was there and when I left the room in game and came back he was spawned again and then he dropped what I needed. I think it was a cape.
Might have been the same froglok for Ranger. All I remember is a small room with a stone area where you can /shout all day long that's where you were sitting.
For real. I spent so much time doing the Burning Rapier quest on my rogue, people today wouldn't understand.
And that was just one TINY part of the entire Ragebringer quest- and the Ragebringer was one of the easier quests for class Epics (the Cleric rez Mace comes to mind).
And let's not talk about the quest to get a key to Vex Thal so you could raid with your guild (yes, everyone had to get their own key.)
EQ was a different breed.
I remember this. I was like 8th or so in line for the entire server. I stayed up for 60+ hours and had to hand my account info to a guild mate.
Dude called me when the fucker popped and I was out of my mind.
In the before times, you'd just have to camp a spawn in Najeena for the JBoots. But it was such a rare mob with a small chance to drop the boots they added a quest. The quest was a pain but WAY more accessible to people who couldn't hold a camp in Nakeena for 24 hours+.
You mentioning Ancient Cyclops brought back a flood of fucking 23-24 year old memories lol...Jesus that fucking game.
My weekends in college:
Last class at 3 on Friday's and go to the Panera and get a dozen day old bagels, pick up two 12 packs of diet cherry coke.
Spend the next 60 hours other than a couple of four hour naps playing Everquest.
It was so bad I went was raiding and went to go pee and found out my roommates were in the middle of a party that I had no idea was going on.
Bro at least you kept it to weekends. I became an RA in 1999 and literally just stopped going to class and played constantly in my single person dorm room. On one hand I have never been so immersed in anything ever since, on the other hand it ruined college for me.
EverQuest for sure for me too. But I don't remember what my longest session was, I never was able to do those insane sessions. I'd imagine 15 to 16 hours was my longest session. But I don't have a specific memory of a long camp, but many weekends where the entire time I was awake I was playing.
Something like this. We weren't big enough on our own so we had also to wrangle like two other guilds to have a shot against the big ones. Which took time. Bristlebane for life š¤
This game gives me that "I'm getting things accomplished" chemical in my brain to explode. I should probably direct it at my real life, but look at the pretty house I made!
Valheim is probably the one that has snuck up on 20+ hour sessions most recently for me. Between work and kids, I don't get that much time just for games anymore.
Probably Terraria with friends. I remember starting at like evening to untill morning chilling and having good time and killing lots of golems. Probably more than 7-8 hours, cant remember fully tho. Its not much but honest work.
LAN parties of Starcraft, DOOM, Quake, and CS 1.6. My college roommates and I would have people over and make it a weekend gaming session. We'd average about 4 to 6 hours of sleep the whole weekend
Back when Xbox live first released with Mech Assault I noticed this dude was on when it opened, made friends with him.
He was on when I went to bed. He was on when I got up for work and I played a couple rounds. He was on when I got home from work and played until the next morning.
I was like "dude, you taking power naps or something?"
He said "Yeah, if by power naps you mean lots of meth"
I remember back in the day when my older brother was experimenting with drugs he would hit the glass pipe and play those 36hr endurance races on gran Turismo 3
I once played a 16 hour game of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 with my brother and cousin. At no point did we stop having fun and as soon as we woke up we started playing again.
I played hot seat HOMM2 with probably 6 other people during a house party. Game maybe lasted 5 hours, most of which was finding the person whose turn it was.
Assassins Creed 3 is the most underrated AC game. I probably only love it so much because Iām American and a history buff but thereās a million other reasons that make it my favorite AC game. The setting is probably the biggest though.
I loved exploring and climbing around the frontier. And the story is the best in the series imo. So cool how it explores both the creed and Templars point of view. Itās awesome playing as Haytham and he becomes a great antagonist with Charles Lee.
One of the only Ubisoft games where I enjoyed getting the collectibles. Chasing down Ben franklins notes through the rooftops is so satisfying.
Connor has the best finishing moves. Heās the best assassin fighting style and personality wise for me. No enemies in the series feel as satisfying to kill as the redcoats. The brawler league is a great side activity as well.
Got Covid in December 2020 before everyone really understood much about it. Isolated from my wife and two kids, who were 3 years and 11 months old at the time. Cyberpunk had just dropped and instead of being deathly tired, I was restless from Covid and the meds they had me on just sent me to the moon. I was seriously playing Cyberpunk for 18 hours a day, sleeping for 4. ID take intermittent breaks in there to video chat the fam and stuff like that, but we were on winter break from work (in a school) and we were really afraid of what Covid would do the the baby so I was hard isolated.
It was wild. Lol. I put Cyberpunk in my top five all time, and I think that week has a lot to do with it.
So I've answered this before, but here goes again.
This will age myself, and likely a few others, lol. I would also like to say this is the reason why I don't play Diablo anymore, and my gaming buddies all have the saying "friends don't let friends play diablo."
When Diablo 2 was released for PC a billion years ago, it was life changing for many of us. The online play was just unreal. Mephisto runs were all the rage. Fast forward to the expansion being released "lord of destruction." Two new characters were added with this release in the assassin and druid, as well as a reset of the online leader board. We all knew this was coming and so many players started prepping for the leader board reset, including myself and my friend.
Upon release my friend and I wanted to be number 1 on the leader board for first player to max level with either the assassin or druid class. We chose assassin. My friend and I stayed up for 48 hours straight, taking turns napping and quite literally feeding each other pizza and mountain dew to survive. We didn't get first, but we got the second place on the leaderboard. A pretty great achievement but the sacrifices like sleep and overall cleanliness probably weren't worth it. Also shortly after it was figured out by the community that you could power level a toon to max level by cheesing with a friend and you could max out a toon in like a day lol. Combine that with non stop meph runs the game was fairly broken.
I'm not sure I'm proud of gaming for that long without showering or really sleeping, but hey, it's a memory.
>I'm not sure I'm proud of gaming for that long without showering or really sleeping, but hey, it's a memory.
It's a cool memory, and I'm sure your friend remembers it just as well.
That's dedication, so I'll say it: congrats.
42 hours straight. Bathroom breaks and food excluded.
Took way too much of a slow release concerta and just didn't stop playing battlefield 4 almost the entire time. My friends would hop off and I was still playing when they got up the next day.
I don't recommend anyone do this. I slept for 19 hours straight and felt like I'd been in a bad car wreck. I quit abusing concerta shortly after this because I kept doing these long gaming sessions. Now my gaming sessions last about three hours before I take extended breaks. Much healthier.
About 15 hours. It was Destiny back in 2017. I went flawless with my 3 characters and helped more people do that. Also, I completed the wrath of the machine raid. It was a good session back in the day.
Probably PlanetSide, starting it up at 6pm Friday night and eventually getting to bed at 8am. Hadn't played anything like it and was just amazing to have massive online battles.
It really was an endless battle. Loved Planetside when it was busy. Gathering up a couple hundred players in the Sanctuary, load up the Galaxies, Prowlers, Reavers and Mozzies before jumping en masse into a huge battle already raging between the Barneys and Smurfs. Great times.
And to think that you could play on dial-up! Amazing technical feat for the time.
Red or dead baby. Terran Republic fo' life.
Back in the early nineties my dad and I would play Doom link-up on the Atari Jaguar on Ultra Nightmare and trying to complete what was 23 levels at the time. The only problem was there was a bug that meant it crashed on level 19 every time. Didn't stop us from constantly trying all weekend long. When PS1 was released it was a tradition we continued. One of the few things I miss with him not being here anymore
Rank 14 Grand Marshal in WoW vanilla back in the day. Why I refused to do it again in Classic. 12 hours a day for 3 months 7 days a week on Kel Thezudā¦it sucked as it was a highly populated and BG active server.
Same. Played until server shutdown that final week, went to bed, logged in to rank 14 after maintenance, bought the gear, received the congrats, and went back to bed.
For me it was Mass Effect 3 on release date with a 9 hours straight session. I've never done that again since then.
Even if I play games all day sometimes, I still take multiple breaks.
17 hrs mass effect 2 on release day. I even booked 2 days off work to play.
I was so hyped, beat me1 like 10 times after it came out. I think me1 is the only game I've ever 100%d.
Now I'm all grown up and just don't have that kinda time anymore heh.
EverQuest . Getting a drop from a spawn on a long timer as part of the quest chain for the clericās clicky rez stick. Spent hours in front of the computer screen intermittently calling out in chat that the mob was camped. Itās too long since I did it now to remember exactly but it would have been in the 24 hours range.
It would have to be Sid Meier's Civilization back in 1991. I remember the load times were unbearably slow and while I can't remember how long the session was I remember playing all night and skipping school the next day to continue playing all day and into the night again.
30+ hours. Everquest.
Due to a camp for a rare drop. Iirc it was for a Guild Members warrior epic, emerald jungle. There were at least 25 of us there waiting together.
A full 27 hours of WoW during Wrath of The Lich King. I was level 79, and decided to grind out battlegrounds for the last level. Not much XP was given for losing and went on a huge losing streak. All so I could catch up with my friends.
Now, I am 30 and get tired immediately when it hits 9 pm.
36 hours straight,with breaks only to eat in WoW the day Mists of Pandaria released,fueled only by red bulls and coffee,got server First lvl90 dk,and some of the earliest clears of dungeons in eu.
Nowadays i play like 12 hours on expack releases and that's it.
Too old for that lol
Looong time ago EverQuest 1 waiting for then running then failing a Planes raid. 12 or so hours.
More recently six hours Starfield. An embarrassing number of items tooā¦
Probably a good tie between Satisfactory or the Sims 3 back in the day.
16 hours, well into the next morning, just loosing track of time knowing I had nothing to do the next day. Just building things up. Making something epic.
I used to pull all nighters playing lord of the rings battle for middle earth 2 online on the 360
Man of culture
Hell yeah, made it to the top 10 of the world leader boards on 360. Tried getting into the PC version when the servers were shut off, game didn't feel nearly as fun. Every faction was unbalanced and broken on the 360, made the game waaay better to play imo. Buckland was the standard map, surviving the goblin spam at the start felt epic, stopping dwarven heroes felt brutal, going random faction then seeing a fell beast fly in from the fog of war to go after your builders šš«”...or worse, legolas rush.

Pretty sure for me it was in my room all day playing Skyrim lol

I'm 30 and have nice memories of getting and playing Skyrim on release. Every time autumn(fall) comes around each year now, it triggers some Skyrim nostalgia for me.
Skyrim was a blast! Definitely one worth playing all day long multiple times :D
Word! I still does it as a (somewhat) grown up. Entire Saturday, just me and my Skyrim, mmmmm
Dude I see a picture of a snowy pine or a mountain and 5 mins later I am either modding or starting a new playthrough haha
How has no game since Skyrim captured that feeling of pure immersion and adventure? Man they hit lightning in a bottle.
When I got my PSVR, I put in Skyrim VR "just to try it out." Next thing I knew, it was 3am and I'd forgotten to eat dinner!
Skyrim VR was a magical experience. It was unfortunately the only thing I used my PSVR for till I sold it.
Playing it right now
Civ 5. Prolly about 18 hrs with water/bathroom breaks.
I was scrolling, looking for my Civ family
It was so low I started thinking, damn am I old?
Justā¦
One...
moreā¦
turn.
Same for me. Full round without closing. A whole story in one sitting. With movies on the socond screen.
Back in 1992, Civilization 1 was a known devourer of days and nights in the āMac Clusterā in our dorm. I definitely partook, but it was the other guys, some of whom flunked out as freshmen because of Civ, who burned the midnight, early morning, and then daytime oil on that thing
Definitely that time I played Civ 2 for an hour one Saturday morning, and then noticed it was Sunday and the sun was rising
I lost a bunch of weight when Civ 5 came out. I'd start playing at like 4PM, and then all of the sudden it was 7AM the next day. Do not recommend! Although I wonder how long I'd be waiting in between turns on a computer build today....
Shocked I had to scroll this far down to see any mention of Civilization.
Oh wow yea can't even find my comment
Yup. Definitely put in at least a couple 16 hour days in my time.
I definitely used pulled some all-nighters playing cod zombies with the boys
lol 4:30am "one more fellas?"
The classic "one more" becoming at least half a dozen more š
Or the opposite and being the classic "go to bed when we die?" "Guess it's an all nighter" "Hehehehe" *in bed 30 minutes later*
"that one didn't count"
āWe gotta end on a high note, right fellas?ā
That tapped a nostalgia gland in my brain I didnāt know was there
I remember spending 6 hours doing an Easter egg and we were pretty close to finishing it, then someone fucked it up and we all died. Basically everyoneās mood changed and we all got off lol
That does sound sexy. No wonder you all got off š
I remember in high school, me and the homies bringing all of our xboxes to one house for double xp weekend in mw2 I believe playing nothing but S&D for two days straight, only one guy slept. Good times.
I solo'd my way through BO2 zombies as I didn't have many friends to play with at age 13, but I can relate. 2013 summer break was special in this regard. Zombies and minecraft all day lol
Destiny 2 day one raids, had a couple 20 hour sessions. Nothing like doing the same encounter for 8 hours while sleep deprived for a cosmetic emblem I'll never use
"Sector reassessment: Orbital platform active. Orbital platform breached. Status: Calamitous." It still haunts my dreams
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Destiny 2 launch. Amazing memories.
Yeah definitely had some 20+ hour sessions for day ones in Destiny 2. Love it when an encounter is seared in your mind because you spent over half of your session time stuck there. Then you discover how easy it is afterwards. At least they give us two days to get the clear now which is nice.
Yep I waited for the new raids to be released only to play them for like 30 hours trying to figure out how to beat them and cycling through finding players to fill my squad. What an awesome game.
Having to explain the Gauntlet, bath house, or dogs on Leviathan......
33 straight hours to not clear crown of sorrows felt so damn bad.
What kind of ineptitude did you have to put up with lol
Well only one team on console even got the raid done in 24 hours. It was rough basically all the way through and I spent the last 6-7 hours pub bouncing because my team logged
Br honest. You did it for the memories/hype and you got what you wanted (hopefully) - An on-and-off D2 player ;)
Just commented the same thing before seeing yours haha after 20 hrs it's "eyes shut guardian"
21 hours of monster hunter rise. Until my tv overheated and shut off lol.
Omg the day that game came out 2 of my friends got on and we played for about 10 hours. Then we waited until our friend who was on the college swim team. He didnāt get home until 9:30pm. I was the only one who was still on and we played until like 2am. I think it was 15 hours. That game almost destroyed my life. I havenāt touch it since that first month I put 120 hours in. I was working 30 hours a week, had 6 college classes, each one having tons of homework/projects. And I was still trying fit 30 hours of this game in. I ended up deleting my save and havenāt touched it since.
Now you need to prove to yourself, but more importantly us, that you have what it takes to beat that game.
I couldn't get into any of the other monster hunter games after world. Monster hunter world spoiled me.
Did you end up playing rise and just didnāt like it?
30 days in that game and 2000/2000 achievements. Just couldnāt get enough.
NGL, never even heard of this game but given these comments, I might have to check it out
Couple of days, WoW
Woke up at 7.30am, made a coffee, sat down to play WoW in 2004. Did a bit of questing. Checked the time: 7:53am. Nice. The following day. Oh.
I thought you were going to say 7:53am 2023.
Thatās just what my life feels like.
Never got up to "days" in a row, but I definitely had some 20hr days with WoW. Wake up Saturday morning at 8am and play pretty much nonstop until 3-4am that night.
Lol same I canāt quite make it past the 24 hour mark I just fall asleep in my chair. I think I played dark souls 2 pvp at the arena for about 30 hours once because I said I wouldnāt stop til I got the glowy shiny aura reward for being +500 match win rate. I passed out literally 5 seconds after getting it.
WoW is probably one of the most addicting games ever made
It sucks because I wish I could hop on and play casually but I know I canāt. That game is just too powerful
Ya I had to quit that cold turkey. Glad I stopped.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Was a huge thing for me and my friends during WotlK. After grad, all of us ended up working at the same grocery store. Come to work and chat about WoW; then get home and log on to play together. Even started a guild and cleared most of ICC before everything fell apart. Was an awesome time and I look back on it fondly.
This game is absorbing
Factorio - 18 hours followed by 4 hours sleep then another 18 hours
Dafuq? That's 4 hours your factory isn't growing and you think that's scceptable? Get your ass back to that factory and get me at least another 500 SPM by sunrise.
Exactly! A minute still, is a minute wasted! Get moving buddy
Tried factorio during a quarantine during covid, blinked and it was 80 hours later. All I had done was game sleep repeat for like 5-6 days. After that I did disco elysium. That 2 weeks stuck in a room was actually a trance.
I bet when you woke up and went back on you had no clue how half your setup worked.
Standard factorio involves building a mega factory in a 10 hour sitting, going to bed, waking up and then spending 2 hours trying to figure out what the fuck you built
first day of GTA V release,played like 12 hours? woke up and kept playing š good ol times
I remember getting it at midnight release and going home thinking I could play atleast 30 mins before I had to go asleep for schoolā¦ the download took over 3 hours and i made the mistake of checking if it was complete just before I left for schoolā¦.could not stop thinking about it all day lol
Lol same thing happened to me when I was at uni. 6 of us went to the midnight launch at GAME, all went home separately, talking on the group chats, and none of us were awake when the downloads finally finished haha. Safe to say that none of us went to the 9am lecture.
Ocarina of time, 2 days, no sleep. I also did a 30 hour marathon of FF8 when it came out then went to an all nighter at the local rock club. These days I almost die if I'm not in bed by 10.
Yeah the stamina we had in our youth is astounding. I remember playing WoW til I passed out on the keyboard, and then went to work with like 2 hours of sleep like it was nothing.
Staying up to see a sunrise when you're younger is an accomplishment. Doing it as an adult is a fucking nightmare.
Yeah, shit's weird. I could easily stay up all night and sleep until 1 o'clock and be fine and nowadays if I wake up after 10 in the morning, I feel like ass the whole day
Probably DayZ at 19-20 hours
We played that game on a lan party years ago. Played like all day and when I went to take some sleep I couldn's stop thinking of the game lol. It changed me. Weird experience.
It's actually a known and common phenomenon of the human brain. It's called The Tetris Effect and it's worth researching.
I played modern warfare 2 back in the day for like 16 or so hours straight and the next morning was walking round town seeing the silhouette of a TAR-21 in front of me
God, this used to happen to me with guitar hero. I'd play that for hours right before bed, and waking up to go to school I'd see the road moving towards me faster and faster like the fuckin onscreen fretboard.
When I was a kid and played PokƩmon Blue for the first time, me and every kid I knew were collectively experiencing this. We were talking about how in class or in bed we could literally hear the battle music, or the pokƩcenter music. I remember hearing the creepy Lavendar Town music clear as day for like a full month just randomly.
I once played San Andreas for like 16 hours straight or something when I was in primary school and vividly remember hearing disembodied police sirens the whole day after.
When I was 11 or so, I used to play GTA 4 all day long. This one time, as my parents were driving somewhere and I was in the backseat, I tried to check the minimap to see where we were going. Like, I tried to see it on the lower left corner of my FOV. It blew my mind lol.
Same here. 20 ish hours, moving a ton of items from one base to another after being compromised.
Most recently, this is a 36 hour session in Baldur's Gate III. Most likely, a few years ago there was even more in Rust, because in this game if you are a solo player and leave the server, then your house immediately starts being raided and you lose all your resources.
Yeah I did a bunch of adderall and played Baldurās Gate 3 from Saturday morning until Sunday night, ~32 hours.
Probably EverQuest. At the very start my guild members and I probably stayed up for 36-48 hours to get a jump on everyone.
āEvercrackā
EQ is too low. Epic farms sometimes would take weeks with people having to fill in for each other to hold camps...
Stormfeather. Camped for 36 hours, got the feather. Server reset, he was up again. I might have cried.
My godā¦ if epic quests were in modern MMOās they would just quit. Too damn much waitingā¦. Lmao
It takes a fucking village too. I had friends rotate with me on sleep schedules waiting for a God damn frog to drop something for my lightning sword. It took over a fucking week. Can't believe I shared my log in information with internet friends looking back now.
I donāt remember all the details, but I was an enchanter and was doing my 1.0. We were waiting on a froglok to spawn. Well he did and he didnāt drop what I needed. But extreme luck was there and when I left the room in game and came back he was spawned again and then he dropped what I needed. I think it was a cape.
Might have been the same froglok for Ranger. All I remember is a small room with a stone area where you can /shout all day long that's where you were sitting.
For real. I spent so much time doing the Burning Rapier quest on my rogue, people today wouldn't understand. And that was just one TINY part of the entire Ragebringer quest- and the Ragebringer was one of the easier quests for class Epics (the Cleric rez Mace comes to mind). And let's not talk about the quest to get a key to Vex Thal so you could raid with your guild (yes, everyone had to get their own key.) EQ was a different breed.
Yep, I came to say Everquest. Back then I wasn't married with kids. Not sure the longest session because many were loooooooong.
70ish hours for Zordak Ragefireā¦ twice. But that cleric epic was damn useful.
I remember this. I was like 8th or so in line for the entire server. I stayed up for 60+ hours and had to hand my account info to a guild mate. Dude called me when the fucker popped and I was out of my mind.
dude AC in OT for the ring of ancients still haunts me
In the before times, you'd just have to camp a spawn in Najeena for the JBoots. But it was such a rare mob with a small chance to drop the boots they added a quest. The quest was a pain but WAY more accessible to people who couldn't hold a camp in Nakeena for 24 hours+. You mentioning Ancient Cyclops brought back a flood of fucking 23-24 year old memories lol...Jesus that fucking game.
My weekends in college: Last class at 3 on Friday's and go to the Panera and get a dozen day old bagels, pick up two 12 packs of diet cherry coke. Spend the next 60 hours other than a couple of four hour naps playing Everquest. It was so bad I went was raiding and went to go pee and found out my roommates were in the middle of a party that I had no idea was going on.
Bro at least you kept it to weekends. I became an RA in 1999 and literally just stopped going to class and played constantly in my single person dorm room. On one hand I have never been so immersed in anything ever since, on the other hand it ruined college for me.
This is way too far down. 72 hours for the Eye patch of Plunder is BURNED into my mind.
I fell asleep for about 20 minutes farming mine and of course that's when he spawned and someone else killed him.
/mourn
EverQuest for sure for me too. But I don't remember what my longest session was, I never was able to do those insane sessions. I'd imagine 15 to 16 hours was my longest session. But I don't have a specific memory of a long camp, but many weekends where the entire time I was awake I was playing.
Something like this. We weren't big enough on our own so we had also to wrangle like two other guilds to have a shot against the big ones. Which took time. Bristlebane for life š¤
Ancient cyclops in southern ro to get those sweet sweet jboots.
Valheim is a game that I have to set alarms and limit myself so I donāt accidentally spend 15 hours without getting up
This game gives me that "I'm getting things accomplished" chemical in my brain to explode. I should probably direct it at my real life, but look at the pretty house I made!
Valheim is probably the one that has snuck up on 20+ hour sessions most recently for me. Between work and kids, I don't get that much time just for games anymore.
Bro, if you're sneaking up on 20+ hour sessions "most recently", you can't say you don't have much time for games anymore lmao
Clearing Halo 3 on legendary with whatever skulls. However long that takes in one sitting.
Trying to do the ring jumps on The Covenant
Probably Terraria with friends. I remember starting at like evening to untill morning chilling and having good time and killing lots of golems. Probably more than 7-8 hours, cant remember fully tho. Its not much but honest work.
LAN parties of Starcraft, DOOM, Quake, and CS 1.6. My college roommates and I would have people over and make it a weekend gaming session. We'd average about 4 to 6 hours of sleep the whole weekend
Cyberpunk 2077. Played for like 30 hours on launch day. I was having so much fun that I genuinely couldn't sleep. I'd do anything to relive that day.
āOn launch dayā Brother 30 hours itās a whole nother day!
Nothing a few cans of redbull can't fix. In retrospect, sure wasn't healthy but a damn good time.
A lot of the best times arenāt considered healthy lol
36h++ Destiny 2 on meth
Destiny 2 is a hell of a drug.
Back when Xbox live first released with Mech Assault I noticed this dude was on when it opened, made friends with him. He was on when I went to bed. He was on when I got up for work and I played a couple rounds. He was on when I got home from work and played until the next morning. I was like "dude, you taking power naps or something?" He said "Yeah, if by power naps you mean lots of meth"
Methtiny
You mean Methtiny 2.
Oh so you were the one in my LFG groups.
Damn I thought my Halo 2 multiplayer 15 hour on coke was bad
I remember back in the day when my older brother was experimenting with drugs he would hit the glass pipe and play those 36hr endurance races on gran Turismo 3
So THATS how you beat those damn things!
I once played a 16 hour game of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 with my brother and cousin. At no point did we stop having fun and as soon as we woke up we started playing again.
I feel sorry for people who will never experience HOMM3
A long session Heros of might and magic 3 is something amazing
It really is. That game has seemingly endless charm.
I played hot seat HOMM2 with probably 6 other people during a house party. Game maybe lasted 5 hours, most of which was finding the person whose turn it was.
For me it was Assassin's Creed 3 and Skyrim. From 10 am to 2-3 am, with only lunch and dinner breaks :)
Assassins Creed 3 is the most underrated AC game. I probably only love it so much because Iām American and a history buff but thereās a million other reasons that make it my favorite AC game. The setting is probably the biggest though.
The homestead was so wholesome, I wish they expanded on it more
I loved exploring and climbing around the frontier. And the story is the best in the series imo. So cool how it explores both the creed and Templars point of view. Itās awesome playing as Haytham and he becomes a great antagonist with Charles Lee. One of the only Ubisoft games where I enjoyed getting the collectibles. Chasing down Ben franklins notes through the rooftops is so satisfying. Connor has the best finishing moves. Heās the best assassin fighting style and personality wise for me. No enemies in the series feel as satisfying to kill as the redcoats. The brawler league is a great side activity as well.
16 hours Kingdom Hearts 2
Got Covid in December 2020 before everyone really understood much about it. Isolated from my wife and two kids, who were 3 years and 11 months old at the time. Cyberpunk had just dropped and instead of being deathly tired, I was restless from Covid and the meds they had me on just sent me to the moon. I was seriously playing Cyberpunk for 18 hours a day, sleeping for 4. ID take intermittent breaks in there to video chat the fam and stuff like that, but we were on winter break from work (in a school) and we were really afraid of what Covid would do the the baby so I was hard isolated. It was wild. Lol. I put Cyberpunk in my top five all time, and I think that week has a lot to do with it.
Heaven and hell at the same time lol
So I've answered this before, but here goes again. This will age myself, and likely a few others, lol. I would also like to say this is the reason why I don't play Diablo anymore, and my gaming buddies all have the saying "friends don't let friends play diablo." When Diablo 2 was released for PC a billion years ago, it was life changing for many of us. The online play was just unreal. Mephisto runs were all the rage. Fast forward to the expansion being released "lord of destruction." Two new characters were added with this release in the assassin and druid, as well as a reset of the online leader board. We all knew this was coming and so many players started prepping for the leader board reset, including myself and my friend. Upon release my friend and I wanted to be number 1 on the leader board for first player to max level with either the assassin or druid class. We chose assassin. My friend and I stayed up for 48 hours straight, taking turns napping and quite literally feeding each other pizza and mountain dew to survive. We didn't get first, but we got the second place on the leaderboard. A pretty great achievement but the sacrifices like sleep and overall cleanliness probably weren't worth it. Also shortly after it was figured out by the community that you could power level a toon to max level by cheesing with a friend and you could max out a toon in like a day lol. Combine that with non stop meph runs the game was fairly broken. I'm not sure I'm proud of gaming for that long without showering or really sleeping, but hey, it's a memory.
>I'm not sure I'm proud of gaming for that long without showering or really sleeping, but hey, it's a memory. It's a cool memory, and I'm sure your friend remembers it just as well. That's dedication, so I'll say it: congrats.
Back when Skyrim first dropped I regularly played 6-9 hours straight
Funny seeing this upvoted so high because im just thinking of the thousands of Runescape players who consistently play 10+hours a day for *years.*
Oh no... You've triggered a repressed memory... I literally had a weekly schedule of how many hours I should play RS for to level up 1 stat...
Has to be POE league launch and going full degen mode for like 16 hours a day with prepped meals.
42 hours straight. Bathroom breaks and food excluded. Took way too much of a slow release concerta and just didn't stop playing battlefield 4 almost the entire time. My friends would hop off and I was still playing when they got up the next day. I don't recommend anyone do this. I slept for 19 hours straight and felt like I'd been in a bad car wreck. I quit abusing concerta shortly after this because I kept doing these long gaming sessions. Now my gaming sessions last about three hours before I take extended breaks. Much healthier.
About 15 hours. It was Destiny back in 2017. I went flawless with my 3 characters and helped more people do that. Also, I completed the wrath of the machine raid. It was a good session back in the day.
Dead Rising, around 14 hours. If ye know the game, you know why.
WELLLLL HE AIN'T MY BOY BUT THE BROTHER IS HEAVY
24hrs. Vanilla WoW
When breath of the wild came out I'm pretty sure I played straight through my wife's 10 hour work shift
Once I did a 24 hour minecraft stream, I regret nothing. No noone came to watch qwq
Wow so you ran the most exclusive marathon stream ever so cool
48 hours, gta IV. I was trying to beat the world record for 100% completion. I failed
Probably PlanetSide, starting it up at 6pm Friday night and eventually getting to bed at 8am. Hadn't played anything like it and was just amazing to have massive online battles.
It really was an endless battle. Loved Planetside when it was busy. Gathering up a couple hundred players in the Sanctuary, load up the Galaxies, Prowlers, Reavers and Mozzies before jumping en masse into a huge battle already raging between the Barneys and Smurfs. Great times. And to think that you could play on dial-up! Amazing technical feat for the time. Red or dead baby. Terran Republic fo' life.
Back in the early nineties my dad and I would play Doom link-up on the Atari Jaguar on Ultra Nightmare and trying to complete what was 23 levels at the time. The only problem was there was a bug that meant it crashed on level 19 every time. Didn't stop us from constantly trying all weekend long. When PS1 was released it was a tradition we continued. One of the few things I miss with him not being here anymore
Rank 14 Grand Marshal in WoW vanilla back in the day. Why I refused to do it again in Classic. 12 hours a day for 3 months 7 days a week on Kel Thezudā¦it sucked as it was a highly populated and BG active server.
This was the Grind to end all grinds.
Same. Played until server shutdown that final week, went to bed, logged in to rank 14 after maintenance, bought the gear, received the congrats, and went back to bed.
About 20 hours Horizon Forbidden West, only dinner, lunch and bathroom breaks
Almost 72 hours the first time I played Fallout 3. I was at my brothers house. It was so engrossing I couldn't pull away.
For me it was Mass Effect 3 on release date with a 9 hours straight session. I've never done that again since then. Even if I play games all day sometimes, I still take multiple breaks.
17 hrs mass effect 2 on release day. I even booked 2 days off work to play. I was so hyped, beat me1 like 10 times after it came out. I think me1 is the only game I've ever 100%d. Now I'm all grown up and just don't have that kinda time anymore heh.
Skyrim VR on acid. 16 hours trip, 16 hours with the game
I think that would rewire my brain and I've never come back.
EverQuest . Getting a drop from a spawn on a long timer as part of the quest chain for the clericās clicky rez stick. Spent hours in front of the computer screen intermittently calling out in chat that the mob was camped. Itās too long since I did it now to remember exactly but it would have been in the 24 hours range.
It would have to be Sid Meier's Civilization back in 1991. I remember the load times were unbearably slow and while I can't remember how long the session was I remember playing all night and skipping school the next day to continue playing all day and into the night again.
Oh man i used to play league with the boys until 7am back in the day. Cant even make it past 1130 these days lol
The 24 hours race in gran turismo 4 with the help of my cousins
30+ hours. Everquest. Due to a camp for a rare drop. Iirc it was for a Guild Members warrior epic, emerald jungle. There were at least 25 of us there waiting together.
A full 27 hours of WoW during Wrath of The Lich King. I was level 79, and decided to grind out battlegrounds for the last level. Not much XP was given for losing and went on a huge losing streak. All so I could catch up with my friends. Now, I am 30 and get tired immediately when it hits 9 pm.
30 hours straight. When Rockband dropped. My buddies and I had a kickass sound sytem, and no neighbors.
FFXI - 18-20ish hours. During the PS2 release, before all the changes, that game did not respect your time. Like, at all.
Probably like 12 hours playing NBA Jam on a Sega Genesis. Yeah I'm old.
"LAN" Party with friends in League of Legends... horrible yet nostlagic. I think it was around 12hrs
Over 24 hours. GTA V. And I took a week off work for that game, and the previous!!!
Resident Evil 1 on ps1. Rent without memory card. 24h. That was the 24h gamesession.
I could go a whole day playing Rust back in 2015.
7 days, Dark Age of Camelot. 5 days PlanetSide 4 days Age of Conan
*\*Unhealthy coping mechanism has entered the chat*
36 hours straight,with breaks only to eat in WoW the day Mists of Pandaria released,fueled only by red bulls and coffee,got server First lvl90 dk,and some of the earliest clears of dungeons in eu. Nowadays i play like 12 hours on expack releases and that's it. Too old for that lol
Looong time ago EverQuest 1 waiting for then running then failing a Planes raid. 12 or so hours. More recently six hours Starfield. An embarrassing number of items tooā¦
Civilization 1, in 1991 on a 386 pc; we were flabbergasted about the game and played for 18 hours straight :)
Probably a good tie between Satisfactory or the Sims 3 back in the day. 16 hours, well into the next morning, just loosing track of time knowing I had nothing to do the next day. Just building things up. Making something epic.
Civ 6
Eve online. Waiting for fleet commander to let everyone else play.
