So talking to a friend today about our backlogs and how strapped we are for time to play games, made me think of when I was younger and was instead time-rich and game poor.
Not a new notion by any means, but which games did you put the burn on back in the day, the games you played to death and then just kept on playing?
For me I remember Shining Force III on Saturn got so many hours of playtime. I got up to the Vandal boss in the haunted house and couldn't get any further on my first playthrough. I re-started the game from the beginning, and managed to finish it all the way to the end. I loved it so much, I just almost immediately started a new save file and played the game again. Not long after fininshing a second time, I tried again, trying to get all the secret characters and trying different weapons and strategies. I just couldn't get enough of that game, I played it through to completion so many times just trying diferent teams and weapon combinations (I could never save all the refugees until I played it a few years ago with a guide though...)
Crazy Taxi was another one, on Dreamcast although I had a lot of games, this one was like crack for me. Not only did my friends love the shit out of it everytime they came over, I used to play it consistently throughout the Dreamcast's lifespan. I managed to get high scores of over $20k pretty often. I feel like I got over $50k once, but i think I must be remembering it wrong. I do remember this game was in my Dreamcast in between pretty much every other game I owned, I always was keen to play a quick couple of rounds of Arcade Mode.

Played the hell out of Rayman 2 on the PC. The game is pretty linear but I still went through trying to get all the lums, cages, and secret level endings. Still my favorite Rayman game in terms of gameplay, story, and aesthetics. Overall really charming. Really felt they nailed this one. I still make an effort to play it through at least once a year. 3 was kind of a let down, but still hoping we'll see any kind of Rayman 4, even if it's not like the 2nd.

I do! And I played them all back to back a couple of years ago, one of the finest gaming experiences of my entire life. I'd been waiting so many years to finish that story. Such wondeful games, I wish Sega would port them all translated to PC or something.

In this climate they'd port them to the iOS

>>2783541
it's a turn based strategy game. that honestly could probably work alright

I have spent more than a thousand hours in Pokémon R/B/G. The clock stops at 255:55, a limit I hit twice in Blue and once in Yellow, and then I played some more.
Certainly spent more than 500hours in Final Fantasy VIII.
RE1,2,3 I must have played almost a hundred times each.
Same for Streets of Rage 1 and 2 as well as Double Dragon 2 (NES) with a coop friend.

Yeah, people complain about them but I like a lot of these ports. The DQ ports are fun to have on my phone to fuck around while on the shitter and stuff.
>>
>>2783539
Pardon my ignorance, but what game is this?
>>2783541
As someone said, I think turn based strategy like that is one of the few playable genres on touchscreen. I'd still expect a PC port too though.
I almost wish old games tracked how many hours were played on then like steam does now. I'd love to know for my old faces. Shining force iii had the save files, but I deleted and overwrote then so many times.

>Pardon my ignorance, but what game is this?
Parasite Eve, bro. Imagine if Final Fantasy and Resident Evil had a baby.
One of the appeals is gun modding. You can make some truly insane weapons. Weapons that a 3rd world anarchist hell hole would deem illegal.
Imagine a handgun that shoots autofire shotgun bursts that can also poison and freeze enemies.

Shining Force III is easily my favourite tactics RPG. Nothing else has been able to capture the same feelings I had playing through as that did.
Must give it another go with the other scenarios some time.

I realize it's not especially long by JRPG standards but I still played it more times than I can possibly count

This game sounds awesome, I'll have to try it out. I missed a lot of PS exclusives since I only had Sega consoles until the Xbox.
>>
>>2785564
well it's on the PSN for cheap and with Christmas coming it might be a good time as the game is set around then.
It's been a yearly tradition of mine since it came out

I play this all the time. It's not just fun to play but I love the style, the world and of course the music. It's nice just to exist in this world.
Also this thread has convinced me to finally play Parasite Eve.

>>2785564
Parasite eve is an awesome game. I still play it often.

I've also put a sick amount of time into Pokemon.
My pick for the thread is Ecco the Dolphin which is my go-to relaxing game. I've played it so many times it's almost auto pilot and I just go through the levels over and over splashing around and having fun.
Biggest non-retro time sink has been Monster Hunter which I've put over 3500 hours in over the course of the series. That's probably my favorite game of all time though.
