General question, i guess applies to consoles aswell.

Years ago I could happily play for 3-4 hours non stop on games like Fifa, Halo etc.

These days I can only play for anything between 20mins to an hour before I cant be chewed, this includes some of the new games like Just Cause 2, TDU 2 etc. Not saying the games are bad, because they are not, I just cannot sit for that long anymore.

So how many hours can you play before getting bored or distracted to do something else etc?
 
30-40 mins max with a break of doing something else, then ill come back and play.

Mainly Crysis 2 atm :)
 
Used to spend entire days on games, like battlefield 2. Now, its a hour or two at max, rarely go on them now though.
 
I havnt been seriously addicted to a game so that i could sit down and play it for hours without pause in ages, these days about half an hour per game is all i can do.
 
A couple of hours.

I sometimes used to sit and play games for the whole day on weekends a few years back, but I just can't do it any more.
 
As a kid, could do 8-10 hrs with only toilet breaks and the like.
As an adult, max of 2 hrs in a single sitting, but usually closer to 1 hr. And i have longer breaks between sittings, mainly because real life keeps getting in the way.

And I agree with OP, it's nothing to do with the quality of the games, it just doesn't grab me like it used to.
 
The odd single player game i play (PC) it's about an hour before i start to think been here done that and go do some thing else.

Now if i'm online with BFBC2 + mates then it can be 4 hours+ easy only pain in hands tends to get me away, not long ago used to have regular 6 hour games of Sup Comm :) time fliys when your having fun.

Got a LAN this weekend so be some long gaming sessions then ..
 
Think I managed something stupid with World of Warcraft.

I think me and my friend got up to 76 hours, give or take an hour. Followed by an epic sleep.

It very much depends on the game and my enjoyment. I can sit down on Football Manager, say 9am on my day off and happily sit there (with breaks) until early evening.

FIFA / Most online shooters can only manager a few hours. If it's a new game, something I really want to play and I enjoy it, I'll attempt to play as much as I can in one sitting and I try and not rush, so I did Portal 2 in two sittings over about 9 hours.
 
it depends, between 3 and 8 hours a day; but quite often i wont game for up to 3 weeks, i dont game nearly as much as i used to

i used to game like crazy, i used to dream that i was still gaming and quite often i'd wake up still gaming, i used to halucinate quite badly, especially if i was playing a tough game, very very strange indeed..... i remember waking up quite often in the morning inside Alpha Quadrant etc
