How often do you play?

How often do you play video games? What are your most-played games?

 

Personally, I play video games everyday. My most played games would be Grand Theft Auto IV, Gran Turismo 5, and Need For Speed Shift 1/2.

[Durden]

I used to play for hours a day, but ever since 2013 I've deviated away from my PS3. Now all my time is spent on the internet, and I'm very ashamed of it. It all started in January when I had to get ready for exams. After the long dry streak of not playing, I suddenly had no will to play any of my games. None of thems eemed fun, even though I have so many I used to love, and haven't even beaten yet. It feels like a chore these days to play my PS3. Just last night I played GoW: Chains of Olympus since I revently bought the Saga, but I just didn't feel entertained. It felt like work to play the game.

 

Hopefully it's just a phase, though, as I love video games. I'm still hoping to buy a PS4 this year, and I still tune in to every gaming event and visit IGN numerous times a day, so I still have my inner-gamer lurking somewhere. Maybe I just need a day off of responsibility to just play video games, and see if I can get re-hooked.

 

 

But when I did play video games a lot, like late last year, my most played games were BF3, GTA4, and FC3.

I go through moments of not being a gaming mood to can't let go of a controller for days.

 

Recently though, within the last few months I haven't been in a gaming mood, I'm not sure if it's because of age or just the excitement factor in games have dwindled. But I have recently purchased Far Cry 3, L.A. Noire & RDR:GOTY, and I've been enjoying all of them. I beat LA Noire fully the other night but still need to get all the Case Stars and what not. Far Cry 3 is just amazing man.. I had my doubts because of FC2 but 3 is just beautifully constructed.. It will have you playing for hours if you get caught up in it.. but between RDR and FC3, I played all weekend when I had the time.

 

Anyways, back to OP, I would say I put a good hour to 2hrs of gaming in a day and 3-4hrs a day during the weekends. Afew years ago I would have doubled that.

I played games from the day I got my first to today and most of the time it was for over 50 hours every week. Now that I'm trying to start a career on YouTube, I've barely touched my PS3 and frequent this forum, YouTube, Metacafe, and Swagbucks.

It really depends on the day. When I was a kid I could play all day every day when school and friends weren't in my way, back then my gaming would often go until two in the morning. Nowadays I can hardly play for a few hours at a time without getting distracted and going to do something more interesting, I blame the internet. Some days I can play for up to six hours at a time, but it's very rare.

 

If I had to guess a weekly average I'd call it at about ten hours a week. Which puts it at a just over an hour-and-a-half every day. I don't play every day though.

[Mr.Mordecai]

Ehh, not much UNLESS i get a new game, then i'll play the sh*t out of it.

 

 

Gaming hasn't interested me lately, and since the GTA V announcement, games (except Sleeping Dogs when i first got it) hasn't really interested me.

[G The Generous]

I used to play games everyday some years ago, usually up to 4-5 hours. it was fun and all.

sadly, with my life has started busy, I can only play games in a very little time. now I prefer to play games on weekend or holidays, because at that time my mind feel free (no need to worry about typical life's bullsh*t) and I can enjoy my games with good atmosphere,

[Mister Pink]

I play about 2-3 times a week. Sometimes more. Although there will be phases where I don't play at all.

[Hodgey.]

I go through phases were i will be on it at least one a day for a couple of months then for about three weeks or so i wont really go anywere near playing, but it also depends if any new releases are out aswell as atm im not really playing anything as there is nothing worth playing IMO at the moment.

[Benjimino234]

I'm currently doing a course in games design at university so I'm working with and researching games one way or another.

 

I'm only in my first year but I don't really play that often, I would normally spend more time watching videos of gameplay and such. Also with funds and all I can't get my hands on most titles until they're are way out of hype but I'm trying to play more.

 

This can be either through casual games from Steam, doing a Cod or Halo session or playing on the GTAF Minecraft server.

[mrpain]

On days where I don't have any work to be done or or don't have any outings and events to go to, I'll only get an hour worth of play at midnight. On days where I got nothing to do, which is mostly Saturdays, Saturdays are my Me and Myself Days, I usually play like six hours per day. I'm currently cycling through Borderlands 2, Far Cry 3, Minecraft and the entire Mass Effect trilogy.

[Rebel]

Depends how I feel on the day or what I'm doing. I usually throw in about an hours worth every night - probably around 4 hours if I know I'm not doing anything the next day and don't have to be up early. Although if the weeks too jammed then I'll usually wait until Sunday and end up playing xbox/PC games in my PJ's haha. I've noticed though with the lack of really interesting releases last year/this year I've not been playing as much as I once did. Mostly because I've had to go back to games I already own and the second I play them I realise I'm not interested. I've been playing a sh*t ton of DayZ & BF3 lately. Before that it was Sims 3 & Sim City. I actually really have a hankering for playing some Theme Hospital - they should really make f*cking updates of those games since they were amazing.

[Mr. Reaper.]

Let's just say I popped out of my mother with a SNES, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, in hand.

It really tore her up though with the corners...

 

As for how often I game.

I'd say anywhere from Six Hours plus during a gaming session.

[Master of San Andreas]

Nowadays I play a good 1 hour every week day.It's 3-4 hours on weekends.I used to play alot and was very addicted about a year ago I used to play till 1 AM in the night.However I now have other stuff like studying and I'm interested in other things so I don't play as much as I used to.

[Johan]

About 2 hours a day minimum, 5 hours tops

[Fireman]

Currently playing a bit too much. I actually reach a full-time job playing games now (40 hours a week, including weekends though).

 

While I should be working on my thesis :x.

[FullMetal]

Playing sh*ttons of Skyrim again... (if I can I'm playing about 3 to 5 hours every day). Forgot how great the game was and finally should explore EVERYTHING, do the f*cking full story AND DLC).

 

Also should do the same for Fo3 and New Vegas after that.

 

Reminds me aswell to finish more games I have... goddamn lack of time to do so.

I tend to go through a few phases of gaming activity, sometimes i'll hammer a game and put a good few hours a day into it and other times i won't even touch my Xbox for a number of days. There are moments where i'll turn on the console and look at the dashboard and within 5 minutes switch it off because i can't actually be arsed. It just depends on the factors of how i'm feeling, outside world commitments and what new games i currently own.

 

There have been times in the past where i've been sucked into a game and done 12 hour stints but i can't do that anymore.

[Space Cowboy]

I used to play a lot, but these days I hardly play 4 hours/week. School is keeping me busy.

Kind of funny how that works. I remember when I used to play SWG when I was 12 yrs old and had little to no commitments. I'd spend Friday nights from 9PM to 6 in the morning just playing away. Ah, to be free of meaningful responsibility again.

 

As many have stated, I tend to go through phases as well. I'll have periods where I don't touch anything for weeks and periods where I don't do anything but play for weeks. Right now it's leaning towards the latter. Having a bit too much fun with RDR and Tomb Raider. Trying to get through Witcher 2 as well but I find it hard to commit myself to so many long-hour games at once.
