StaceyPowers Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 What is the minimum length of time you need to really enjoy a session of gaming? If I am playing an arena FPS game, a single 20 minute round can be satisfying (and about all my disabled body can handle on PC anyway). But for most other types of games, especially on console, I’d say I need a minimum of an hour to really immerse myself in a gaming session.
The Blackangel Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 3+ hours is what it takes for me. If I’m gonna get a game going, it needs to be something that is going to require a lot of time to finish.
Micky Singh Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Minimum good gaming sessions is for me 6 hours nonstop without a single break, even not leave your game for food. DC and The Blackangel 2
kingpotato Posted May 15, 2020 Posted May 15, 2020 For me it depends what Im playing, if its a FPS 20-30 minutes is fine, but if its a single player game I need at least two hours
Alexander. Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) Depends as it's hard to say exactly how long a gaming session should take. Generally speaking, 2 -3 hours is satisfactory. When I get started, it may require to be something that will take a very long time to successfully complete. On the otherhand, it does depend on the type/genre of video game that I'm playing to how long a "minimum length" should be. Edited May 17, 2020 by Alexander.
skyfire Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 I think good gaming experience is more or less like dependent on who you are playing with. I think it's not easy to gauge that duration. I have seen some people having good gaming experience with the 1 hour of gameplay but it's not consistent for all of us.
Patrik Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 It really depends on how much time i got in my hands, if i'm on a tight freetime, i wouldn't launch a game because i really hate feeling limited to a period of time when it comes to doing things (i have this phobia since high school exams days xD). When i'm full of freetime, then i would keep playing till i feel bored.
Empire Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 Comes down to what you are gaming, If I was doing flights in my flight simulator then it can be from 3 hours to 10 hours. With five hours flight for an example at least I can take around 2 hours max to do what I need to do then for the rest of five hours just relax and move around the home and I don't even need to be in front of the PC 😛 Most of the time 3 hours is a good amount 🙂 If I have more time then maybe more.
22_22 Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 I think it depends on what type of gaming you are playing and what you are trying to achieve. I have never really thought about it until now but I guess for me, around two hours would constitute a good gaming session. It gives me just enough time to engage with the game and make some good progress, without spending too long on it. I would however love to play for longer periods but I am just unable to do this at the moment.
Withywarlock Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 In Dark Souls it's usually when I've encountered a new bonfire or boss, though some awesome gear and consumables also help with me wrapping up a nice session. In the case of II: Scholar of the First Sin though, it was highly addictive because I kept on killing boss after boss, discovering zone after zone. I've just finished it today though so New Game + is where my latest session has ended. But aye, it depends on the game. Sometimes it's when I've done a level, or 100%'d a previously visited one, and sometimes it's when I'm significantly closer to finishing it because the game's boring me to tears.
michaelwilson Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 I usually play Dota or CS:GO. So my session is mainly depends from win/lose streak. If I'm losing so much I prefer playing not more than 2 games a day if I'm winning more it can be up to 10 games per day.
staticradio725 Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 For me, it would depend on whether or not it's a game I've already played before. If it's a game that's new to me, there's only so much plot and new stuff I can absorb at once before I need to have some time to process it and think about it. I'm the same way with books and TV shows; I have no idea how people binge-watch stuff. In that situation, I might only be sitting there for an hour or two. If it's a game I've already played before and I'm familiar with, I can easily while away an entire afternoon on it.
Syntax Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 For me it would be atleast an hour or two in order to get into it and the gameplay.
m76 Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 I'd say a good session needs to be at least 2 hours long. For this reason I don't even bother starting gaming after 10pm, because I know by 12 I'll probably be too tired to go on. And I don't start gaming unless I Have a completely clear agenda for the day. If I still have tasks or need to be somewhere later that day, it's all ruined for me. For example when I was in college there was a day of the week where I only had to be at school by 11:50. Which meant that my morning was free until about 11:00. I usually woke up around 7:30, so that meant I had over 3 hours. I've tried gaming a few times, and it was an awful experience. Every 2 minutes I'd check the clock whether my time was up or not.
