The three I can remember.
In 2003, I did 24 straight hours in one sitting. I got an Xbox for my Birthday that came with JSRF, but I also got Shenmue II with it. I sat there and explored that world of Shenmue II as much as I could, every little detail. I didn't even finish the game in that sitting. I played the side games. Explored whatever I could. I did a lot of the story. Aside from a couple piss breaks I never left that TV.
2011. I imported Xenoblade to the US from the UK's GameStation store. (At the time, NOA had no plans to release the game here.) So I soft-modded my Wii with the homebrew channel. I imported Xenoblade. I spent 19 hours playing it. Exploring and experiencing the story.
Lastly. 2015. Again my birthday, I bought some used games for my PS3 with birthday gift money at my local retro game shop. I picked up Dragon Age: Origins. Despite the bad frame rate, I was engrossed in the game. I started playing roughly 2 PM, and next thing I knew, I looked at my clock and it was after 5 am.
I don't do sessions this long anymore. Not good for your health, physical, or mental. Youth, however, doesn't care lol.
Bite my shiny metal cockpit!
