How many hours a day do you usually play video games?
If I have a new game then I usually play for 1-2 hours probably, if I don't then I might play for less than an hour. I play much more if friends are over though.

5-6 Hours average

I agree with you... But with a new game I'm on it all day all night... for up to a couple days... Then back to my normal gaming hours...:D


But when my friends and I meet up... ITS A LONG PARTY!!!

example:

-Hey! Wake up! Its you and so and so's turn! k... I'm up... Lets do this!

-Your drunk and your playing CTF the score is 4-4 last cap and your close to your base and the opposing team is pretty much spraying you with bullets and you only could laugh and say... "I'm sooo drunk"!

-[will look outside] OH DAMN! The sun is up fellas!....

well, with school an all that, my gaming time has droped by a lot. i couldnt even play my xbox. but now im trying to put in like an hour or so when i can. as 2nd semester of school rolls by, i'll be on a lot bc i dont have any core subjects in 2nd semester which means no homework and more free time

ok, no one so far has got into the extreme hours of gaming. I wonder if anyone here does play for 10+ hours daily.

With working mulitple jobs, I'm lucky if I get maybe two hours a week of quality game time in (usually Sunday nights unless there's a good football game on).

About 2-3 hours, sometimes more, sometimes less.

One time I remember I stayed the whole day playing Phantasy Star Online on the DC, that game got me hooked! and it was raining too that day, so.

On an average day I play any were from 6 to 10 hours a day.I work from 9am to 5pm Mon.-Fri. take a 3 hour nap after work then get up and play online till about 3 or 4 in the morning then go to bed.On the weekend I tend to not play as much and go clubing etc.When I first discovered XBC over a year ago I once played 19 hours straight.

It all depends on the game and if I am really into it...
Also depends on whats going on with work or personal stuff....

Lately Ive been playing from 2-4 hours every other day if not daily. When I first got Star Wars KOTOR I played it like 8 hours nonstop one weekend lol

If I dont keep playing a game that im into then I will lose interest and forget about it when I rent or buy some other game. Well except for sports and some live games...

I can't play on school days (house rule) so none. But on weekends about 2 hours if I'm alone and have a game that I like, and 8+ with friends over.

i play all the time.. video games are a great way to pass the time.. and I am just tickin the time aawy until i graduate and get outta here...as for when i get out in the real world, i plan to play only as stress relievers. I really don't drink, so playing video games are a moderately stress free activity.


6-7 here.

On weekends when I have spare time I usually play for around eight hours or more. Threw the week, though, I barely play at all.
I finished Rainbow Six 3's single player mode in two sittings. I usually complete all of my games, regardless of my tight schedule.

2-5 hours 3-4 days during the week and more on weekends.

Very true.. The funniest days on gr was when it first came out. I was on that game 24/7. After that i put in about 2 to 3 hours then got off.

When i got xbc i was playing halo from 8-12+ hours daily, yes daily. I done this for MONTHS strait. I played everyday all day. I am not kidding. I was addicted to this BAD. but now i dont, thank god. Im starting to have a life back. Playing that game so much was kinda a mistake i guess.

11-04-2003, 07:16 PM

Well usually it is about 1 hour a week, until i get a new game...which ill get addicted to and play hours and hours....but 1-2 weeks later get tired of it.

Kortiz
11-05-2003, 08:02 PM
with a new game, if i have the time....i can play from 1 to 10 hours a day..........after i beat or get tired of a game........and until i get a new game..........that hrs/day ratio drops to 1 to 2 hours a day to even 0 a day.

i dont play everyday as i have things to study for.........forums to post on........etc.
