    Can't say I played any single player game for years, but titles I got a good long run from included Half Life, Star Craft, Balders Gate, anything related to Fallout series to name a few.

    I didn't really start playing games for years until I found MMORPG's (which pretty much killed off any interest in single player titles) and I've played the following:

    DAOC - 2.75 yrs

    WOW - 1.75 yrs

    EVE - 3.5 yrs

    When I said i had "time", i meant virtual time, i got no RL "time" for you.

    Lineage II (4 years over the last 6 years)
    Lord of the Rings online (have lifetime sub, but played actively 1 1/2 year continuously)

    Baldur's Gate + Tales o/t Swordcoast (nearly finished it in a bit over a year and then my HDD crashed - no external saves :( )
    Morrowind (about 1 year)

    That's it for me...

    Age of Empires 2 - 10 years

    Morrowind - 5 years

    Dark Age of Camelot - 9 years.

     

    Modern MMOs just aren't designed around building a dynamic game world and solid community, so you can't expect to sub for more than a few months.

  • ColdicesColdices Member Posts: 157
    SC 1&2 - 10 years
    All tekken games since T1
    CS
    C&C RA 1&2,Generals,Renegade
    AOE 1&2

    Lineage II - 6 years

    Hmm, lots of them but here's a try:

    Civ-series

    Football manager series (and Champ. manager before that)

    Freelancer

    Age of Wonders (all three games)

    TES: Daggerfall

    Europa universalis (different incarnations)

    Everquest 1 and 2

    WoW

    Lotro

    Vanguard

    Problem with the MMO:s is that I have start/stopped many of them so maybe they don't count apart from EQ1.

  • LexinLexin Member UncommonPosts: 701

    For The Witcher 2 in my list.

    About Skyrim ive played it so far 260 hours but stopped about 6 weeks ago.

    Morrowind i think ive played over period of 6 months (2002)almost everyday and rest of year at least every week Skyrim is great but for me Morrowind is still by far my best in series.

    I reply all the X-COM games over and over and most Final Fantasys. I played AvP2 online for a looong time, probably years.

    I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
  • ClassicstarClassicstar Member UncommonPosts: 2,697

    The only game i keep going back to is guild wars. 

    Played it from the start and still play it now, I dont know why i just enjoy it :-)

  • WarmakerWarmaker Member UncommonPosts: 2,246

    I've come back repeatedly to some older games.

    Various "Total War" Games - Rome, Shogun 2, Medieval 2.  Depending on what setting I want to play and what mods that I install.  Between them, I definitely put alot of time with Rome Total War and the many great mods it had (has).

    Sins of a Solar Empire - Great space strategy game in the RTS style.  Namely for the 2 mods, "Sins of a Galactic Empire" (Star Wars), and "Sacrifice of Angels 2" (Star Trek).

    Company of Heroes - Still the true leader in RTS games, and dared to try new things.  Not some cheap, retextured, repackaged, regurgitation of an old game.  COH did things that other developers are still scared of trying when it came to RTS titles, and pulled it off extremely well.  The last great RTS game, IMO.  I also play with the Blitzkrieg mod and a voicepack so that German units speak German and not the terrible Hollywood German-English of the vanilla version.

    Battlefield 2 - Still pop in time to time.  The last TRUE Battlefield game.  Fun infantry combat, large maps with varied terrain levels, vehicle combat, Commander mode, actual teamplay.  After BF2, only BF2142 comes closest to what BF is.  Not even the newer BF3 can even half-competently do it right like BF2 did.

    ARMA 2 - Yes, it's a FPS, but it's a Mil-sim.  People afraid of the word "simulator" or a learning curve need not apply.  It's the franchise that tries to be what flight sims are for aviation games, but ground based, and particular emphasis in realism for infantry fighting.  BIG maps.  Unforgiving and strives for realism.  Mature community with no BS that you come across in other more popular FPS games.  I've repeatedly come back for trigger time in ARMA 2.

    Falcon 4.0 - With mods, this 1998 game is STILL the best combat flight simulator out there.  It has received alot of good, serious loving over the years.  I still have the binder with the thick game manual, not the cheap PDF manual BS that developers do to give you less for your money these days.  The Dynamic Campaign System is a different experience every time.  Lots of factors affect the situation that you fly into next, and when flying, you can see and hear radio chatter that, hey, there is a *war* going on around you, and that you are really but one tiny game piece.  Dynamic Campaign Systems for me offer far better depth and variety in a campaign than any regular, scripted one can ever do.  It is also a flight sim from the Golden Era of these type of games, the 1990s.

    Final Fantasy XI: Not my first, second, or even third MMORPG, but the only one I've ever enjoyed enough to sub for 2 consecutive years straight.

    Saints Row 2: The series that ruined Grand Theft Auto for me. Third Street 4 Life!

    Ace Combat 6: By far and wide my favorite game on XBox 360.

    Mega Man 2: IMO the best game of all the MegaMan series'.

    Paperboy 2: Simple...weird...fun.

    Rampage: The original, not the craptastic remakes that came out on the PS1.

    Dragon Force: No, not the band. The awesomeness that graced the Sega Saturn way back when. A game in my collection that I never plan to part with

    I had that game on my 'ol Saturn.  It was quite a nice game.

  • alexminoalexmino Member Posts: 132

    SC 1 and 2, though i played 1 for like 5 years and SC2 hasn't been out that long.

    WoW, started at launch, didn't quit until right before firelands, just resubbed for a month see DS, will probably check back at expansion.

    Fallout 1-2,Planescape Torment: I replay all 3 of these probably once a year, i played through all of them after quiting FF 13 because it was so horrible i had to be reminded of what a good rpg was.

    Dragon Quest 9: Because it's like an mmo that makes me nostalgic.

  • kakasakikakasaki Member UncommonPosts: 1,205

    Good topic!

     

    For me:

     


    • Civ series (alternate between 4 and 5)

    • Alpha Centauri

    • Pirates!

    • TF2 (old and new)

    • EvE (game I keep coming back too)

    • Panzer General I (even on easy, game is hard!)

    • SimCity 4

    A man is his own easiest dupe, for what he wishes to be true he generally believes to be true...

    Ultima online FTW!!!!

  • Storman1977Storman1977 Member Posts: 207

    The games that have kept me coming back for more, or in one's case, never leaving-

    Dungeons & Dragons Online - Been rocking out here for six years and counting.  Will probably be here until they turn out the lights or do something incredibly stupid (the latter being entirely possible with Turbine)

    City of Heroes/Villains - Played for three years straight and still pop in every few months to see whats new

    Counter Strike - Yeah, still jump in for a few rounds of 1.6

    Half-Life 2 - While I'm no longer doing the once a year run through, I'll still fire it up for an hour or two when the urge hits.

    Final Fantasy 7 - With this being on the Playstation Network, I no longer have to fire up the PSOne to give it a spin.
