How many hours per week do you play?
 
Currently, around 15. When I am playing it doesn't seem like enough. However, I think it is probably pretty good for a guy with a wife and works full time. So I will take whatever I can get. I play usually from 10:00pm - 12:00am each night, a little more on the weekends.

Lately, about 1.5

Probably about the same, 15-16 tops. Not as much as I would like, but yeah, I work full time, I have a wife and twin nine month old daughters. So I normally don't get to play until they're all asleep (we put the girls down at 7:30, and the wife is normally in bed by 10).

If there's a game I'm into, maybe as much as 20-25 hours a week.

If not, probably less. 5-10.

Same. Mine has been high lately as I finished Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2, but prior to that maybe ~5 hours for me.

Yeah, you won't see anyone here saying 40 hours.

I'm the same between 10 and 20 hours.

I put 41 hours into ME2 in 5 days, Raul. Speak for yourself :mad:

I play way too much.

The weeks I don't have my daughters, I play more.

When I do have them, I don't play as much but we do play some games together.

I probably average around 15 hours (10 with the girls around, 20 without).

I usually only play at night after the daughter/wife are asleep. Well, my wife doesn't mind if I play as she will play on her laptop. So, maybe 1-2 hours a night...so 5-10 a week maybe.

I can very easily game for way more than 40 hours per week. Heck, I can do 40 hours just on a weekend. My record is a little more than 30 hours in a single sitting. Yep, I have no life...

Mass Effect 2 aside, which has cut into my TV/movie watching, I'm usually around 3 hours on weekdays and another 2 on the weekends, for a total of about 5 hours a week.

January i played a lot more hours than i had in previous months. I did about 40 hors a week. This month i've been watching a lot more dvds than gaming so it fluctuates from time to time.

Re: How many hours per week do you play?
 
Around 10-15 hours. Depends on the game though. I plowed through Wolverine and Assassins Creed 2 recently and put it about 4 hours each night on those.

superfro 02-11-10 01:40 PM

Re: How many hours per week do you play?
 
I probably do at least 2-3 hours per day on average. Factor in weekends and other stuff and it's easily upwards of 25-30 hours per week minimum. In the case of weeks like Mass Effect 2, it was almost 40 hours in 7 days just with that game alone...so....uh....don't make me think about this shit! :lol:

I’m lucky if I get in 10-15 a week. And now with a wife that’s 8 months pregnant, I’m sure that number is going to go down here really soon.

Re: How many hours per week do you play?
 
When I really get into a game, like I did with Batman, I can play upwards of a dozen hours a week, but if you average my weekly playtime over the course of the year, it's probably around an two to four hours, if that.

Re: How many hours per week do you play?
 
Late Fall/Winter - under 15hrs per week
Spring/Summer/Early Fall - under 3hrs per week

Re: How many hours per week do you play?
 
My fiancee usually crashes by 9:30 pm and most of my gaming is done after that. On weeknights, I might play til midnight for something I'm really into. On the weekend, I'll stay up until 2:00 am or so. So probably around 10 - 12 hours per week.

Same as most others here, about 5 - 10 hours a week on the average.

There is a documentary about WOW players that is just amazing. Those guys really go in when it comes to gaming time.

I saw that doc. I'd say it's more disturbing than amazing, but it's pretty good nonetheless.

I think I probably play between 5-10 hours per week, most of that being done early on Sat/Sun mornings, and late on Fri and Sat nights.

South Park is not a documentary, no matter how true it rings.

Re: How many hours per week do you play?
 
I've probably averaged 40 a week since Mass Effect 2 came out. I also played a lot in December with Dragon Age, but there's many times during the year when I don't touch my xbox at all for weeks. Living with my parents, which hopefully changes when I get a real job soon, gives me a lot of free time now too.

20 - 30 hours a week. 4 hours on average a week night. Weekends.. well.. anything goes.
