I'm not sure how to handle NG+ runs as my experience is you can run through an easily 30-40 hours game in as little as three or four hours since you don't have to go off the beaten path at all having done most of what the game offers in the original run. For the purpose of my listing I'm going to make a separate NG+ rank.
1. Metal Gear solid 2 @ 30+ completions
2. Metal Gear Solid @ 24+ completions
3. GTA 5 @ 5 completions
4. The Witcher 3 @ 3 completions
5. Divinity OS @ 3 completions
New game modes currently sitting somewhere in...
1. Sekiro NG+ 6
2. Bloodborne NG+ 5
3. Dark souls 3 NG+ 4
4. Elden Ring NG+ 3
5. Various titles in NG+ (or NG+1 depending on how it's counted)
MGS 1 & 2 is very likely higher but thems the only figures I kept record of. As a kid I'd do a playthrough on those games, roll credits and start instantly right from the start again. One weekend I was sick, I replayed MGS2 6 times just instantly going to a new game as soon as I'd finish and more often than not I'd watch full cutscenes a reliving the story was just as important. To say I was obsessed in a massive understatement, I also spent a massive amount of time, like dozens and dozen of hours re reading magazine article previews and then reviews or any content I could find on the games, even the PS1 Manuel. I wish I had accurate figures cause I know it's higher than those numbers cause I was delving back in with the fat ps3 BC on MGS1 but it's very hazy to remember and I didn't track how much I was playing it being less autistic and OCD as I got older. If I had to guess I'd add on half a dozen playthroughs each, possibly more for MGS2. Oddly, I only played MGS3 as well as MGS4 the once and MGS5 twice.
