We know, from recent data, that the median age of the game-playing human being is 31. In fact, a pretty small percentage of gamers are the sort of people who don;t have daily responsibilities thanks to that horrible thing that keeps getting in the way: life.
When I was a spritely young lad, I’d often spend hour upon hour, eyes transfixed on a screen, playing whatever the game du jour at the time was. These days though, as a family man with responsibilities all over me like a monkey on my back, I struggle to find the time to play games.
It’s even worse considering my job; when I am playing games it’s usually out of obligation; some or other game that I have to play for review instead of something I want to play. to be fair, often those overlap. Still, I find myself with less and less time available to play videogames – so I’m curious.
In an average week , how much time do you spend playing games. When is it too much, and at what point are you playing so little that it would be spurious to even call yourself a “core” gamer.

depends when I have time…..gets a bit harder to spend too much time on it when you get older.
But I would say between 1 – 3 hours a day for me. I like to have at least an hour to chill on Hearthstone on ME3 Multiplayer to relax after work. Once in a while I will get a 5-6 hour session when the lady is out with friends and my mates are busy.

I usually play games right after gym at about 18:00 for about and hour or so. Than only late at night will I play again for about another 30-60min. According to Steam I played 25.9 hours in the last two weeks. That’s about 13hours a week or 1.85hours per day.
EDIT: Just to note, that 25.9hours is actually higher than usual. My usual time is about 15hours in two weeks. I blame public holidays.

Weekly, about an hour or 2 everyday, this is usually after 10, I also play Vita in the morning and afternoon in the bus which comprises 2 hours as well. Weekends is a different story. I’m usually up at about 6. Play till about 9 when my wife wakes up and then play till late in the night till about 1 or 2. My game time has been downsized considerably, but, I will always make time. My wife even feels bad for me when I don’t play and sometimes shifts our plans around so that I can play lol….So, less time, but I always make time. For the love of the game

Although I did complete RA:3 when my son didn’t sleep at night. Big lazy chair in front of the PC, him on the left shoulder rubbing out winds, jamming RA with the right hand.
Since he turned three I can entertain himself got some time back and since he was 4 and half we started jamming Lego games together.

Weekends man. Weekends are where the major session come in. Same with me. Only about 1 – 2 hours max during week nights. Weekends however….
VampyreSquirrel
April 25, 2014 at 10:42
On average I spend about 3 hours a day on week days playing some or other game… weekends it depends on if I have time, but it can be in excess of 6 hours a day. So you’re looking at an average of about 25 hours a week.
My saving grace is that my wife also plays games when she’s not watching some series or another… granted it’s mostly Candy Crush on her phone or WoW… but it allows me to play some games.

Before I was married, about 2-3 hours a day for entertainment, which was split pretty evenly between Series, Gaming and Comics. Since I’ve got married though, my entertainment has increased to around 4 hours a day, but now I would say gaming gets about 2 hours a week or so only. Watch a lot more series now, and read a hell of a lot more comics.

That is quite a good strategy. Do you then get rewarded with crazy make up sex after gaming? XD

An hour or two a night, a few more on weekends. This is sharply down from 5 hours a night since the birth of my twin daughters a month ago.and even more down from about 12 hours a day since getting a day job 5 years back :/ Insufficient time for gaming is the bane of my existence.

There’s a reason they make Double-Barreled shotguns.

^^ being a gamer might have prepared you better for the lack of sleep involved in having twins 🙂

I used to sink every free minute I had into Skyrim. Then one day I woke up, smelled what game developers delivered in every game ever (the same old rehash, just a different title) and I decided enough is enough. Currently I play FEAR 2, 30 minutes a day over weekends. Then I’m cool.

I really couldn’t get into FEAR 2. Felt like it didn’t have anything from the previous game. Felt slower and the particle system wasn’t anything like that of the first. Played two hours and was too disappointed to continue. But I see it got good ratings. So it might just be me.

Yes, it is inferior to the first FEAR. But for some reason I am loving its simplistic play mechanics a lot again.
But I just recalled the true horror of FEAR 2. That final scene. When Alma decides… No. My brain tells me I was drunk at the time. And high. Plus Jenny McCarthy was swinging on the stripper pole in my room. So no. I saw nothing of the ending of FEAR 2…

Haha. Excellent.
I think I loved the first FEAR so much that I’m unfairly comparing 2 to it. But definitely going to sink into FEAR 3 regardless.

played an hour of FEAR 3.
it was even less comparable to FEAR 2 than FEAR 2 to was to FEAR.

I play a gaming session of about 3 hours a day. Usually with cooking food and showering and other things disrupting it quite heavily (so really a lot less than 3 hours). Good thing I usually only play MMO’s during the week.
Weekends I binge play round about 12 hours starlight when I don’t have a function/event/work going on and a new title I have been waiting for gets released. On special occasions I take leave off work and binge play whatever I just bought (Don’t expect any posts from me when DA arrives.)

Showers are for the weak.
and who even cooks their food? eat it raw man, unless its chicken, you gotta cook chicken.
Kromas

Yeah … if i walk into a meeting having not showered for a few days I might loose the ability to continually buy Collectors Editions (also normal games and ofc my internet connection).
And I lived of 2 minute noodles in varsity. I can’t stomach that stuff anymore. That and when you reach a certain age you need to eat properly or you will feel miserable every day.
Oh boy that sounds horrible. I miss not having responsibilities. 🙁

Monday to Thursday I am lucky if I get 4 hours in total in. From Friday it is a different story. Sits and start the pc and only go to sleep at about 2h00 the following morning. On weekends I get about 25 – 30 hours. Depending on the kids demands while my wife works.

also a new dad, so gaming time is fairly limited.
On most days I can probably squeeze in about 1-1.5h.
So i’d say about 6 hours/week on average.

I’m quite a lucky lad 😛 student and all, I do set aside time for work, but I really have a crap load of free time.
I might get some time to game during the day, but almost without fail (weekends depending) every evening I can be at my PC from 8pm-2am with ease O_O I don’t even realise the time, it just flies by! Evaluating it now though, 6 hours an evening/day at least 😛 HOLY MOLY!

About 1 hour Quake Live every second day. About 2-4 hours QL over weekends, about 1-2 hours Tony Hawk 2. And some games I try over weekend, but I am usually bored after 15 minutes and go back to Quake or TH 😀

Typically 2 hours or so on weeknights; approx 4 hours a day on Saturday and Sunday. So around 15 to 20 hours a week. Some weeks a lot less – damn work gets in the way!

I think I average about 42 hours a week, but I will probably start cutting down…
