What’s the longest time you’ve played a game without stopping? What about longest time spent on a singular game? What about longest time spent on a game series?
Checked my Steam account last night, which consists solely of Football Manager games from 2009-2018 and added up my playtime for each one and it came to a total of 208 days. That’s a lot of days in my opinion.
Totally worth it though, and incidentally, Football Manager 2019 comes out this Friday, 2nd of November for Mac and PC. Football Manager 2019 features a whole host of new features that brings you closer to your squad than ever before and tilt the world’s favourite management simulation even closer to reality. You have the ability to fully implement your tactical vision through the brand new tactics creator, and fine-tune the all important details in a new and improved training revamp. Will the perfect substitution or tactical tweak be the difference between an agonising defeat or an ecstatic victory? There’s only one way to find out, and that’s by buying Football Manager 2019 this Friday, 2nd of November, on either Mac or PC, or both.
I wouldn’t want to think how much time I’ve spent playing civilisation games overall though - in the last I’ve owned Civ 2, Civ: Call to Power, Call to Power 2, Civ IV and currently have Civ V.
Did a couple of LAN parties bitd. We’d spend around 5 days at my friends big house when his parents were away. The days would go something like: command and conquer from midday until early evening. Eat and play medal of honour/goldeneye/super smash bros for an hour, then command and conquer until 6am. Repeat.
Outisde the realm of football management simulations, I have played through Final Fantasy VII about ten times across various platforms and I reckon each of those play-throughs has been at least 24 hours worth of game time…
