So it's just coming up to 11:25pm here in England, which is where i realise that ive been playing the game pretty much solidly since about lunch time, i got the game on friday and have played around 32 hours of it already. I've not done this with any other game, is this happening to anyone else?

yeh ive been playing it pretty much all weekend....my eyes feel like there gonna fall outta my head

same here.
6-10 hour sessions daily so far. cant stop playing

I would be playing it right now if it weren't for my brother. It's just a game which lends itself to long play session because you always want to know what's coming up next.

2-4 hour sessions for me but that's a lot for me. Haven't done that since my days with WOW.

i played ti for 5 hours when i first started it up.
 
kinda wanna start over

I played it for 5 hours in one sitting as soon as I got it and that's something I barely ever do these days let alone do it and not realise.

I do that with almost every game.

Luckily my video card gets really hot if I play for more than like 4 hours, depending on whats going on. At that point I will be getting like 1 fps, which is enough to save and quit and go make food or something.

yeah totally, the hours seem to fly by too. I'll call a quest my last for the night at about eleven, next thing i know it's about 3 in the morning and it seems like an hour max :o
 
i BECOME chris shepard so i lose track of time

 
I basically played it for a little more than 14 hours per day, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Then I put it back in the case and will play through a second time just before ME3 is out.

All I know is I logged 40 hours in three days. Damn good game.

It's insane how time goes by while playing this. I've put 20 hours in 3 sessions.

I've put in multiple 6-8 hour sessions. Beat the game, then jumped right back in with my other import.
 
So yeah.

pretty cool most of you are the same, should be noted that i've been mining planets since my first post, 45 minutes ago, that went by pretty fast

I went through my first play through in about 25 hours. I didn't do a whole lot of side missions. About 10 hours now on my second play though, spending more time with side missions and probably going to take longer this time. I love this game.

Beat the game in 24 hours in a matter of 4 days, kind of feel sick of myself.  
 
Worth it though, awesome gaming experience - kind of makes me want to do a renegade speed run. 

16 Hour session, breaking for food and bathroom needs :P.  Still not done.

I never play games, or do anything really, for long periods of time in one sitting; I either get bored or frustrated or tired and feel the need to stop. My record for longest session is a pedestrian eight straight hours playing the original Fable. That said, Mass Effect 2 is definitely one of the games that is pulling me in. Today I played for five hours straight, which beat the recent mark set by Dragon Age: Origins at four hours. I also think I may have spent three straight hours playing Torchlight, but don't quote me on that. So by my standards, Mass Effect 2 is doing extremely well at pulling me in and keeping me engaged. There's just so much to like about that game.

I scanned every planet, did every side mission, I just finished it a few hours ago, so I must of took alot of hours. Really I was playing the game all day, bioware rules.

Yes because the pacing is really slow, but for some reason I don't find it boring. I spent a lot of time (probably 30-45 minutes) at the Normandy Crash Site looking for the one dog tag that is missing before giving up, and I've spent well over an hour running around Omega getting to places because the place is so huge.

the first time i put in the game i played it for 12 straight hours.......

" same here. 6-10 hour sessions daily so far. cant stop playing "

7 hours straight. No bathroom breaks. Ended the game with 23 hours of gameplay.

This is not a game I've been playing in little 1-2 hour spurts each day.  Anywhere from 3-6 hours each day for me.

I beat it in 2 days...I was pretty bummed out that I beat it so fast and didn't take it slow. BUT, I'm on my 2nd playthrough so I will take it slow this time!

yah same here, all i did was play this weekend.

I don't think I ever played ME2 for less than 5 hours at a time. LOL.

Yeah spending all day on it today... What I don't understand is how many people are finishing it so quickly?.. Don't rush so you can boast!... enjoy the experience as much as possible, games like this come round once in a lifetime.

I love that this games so long, about 20 hours in now!

I'd be playing it right now if i didn't have to be up early tommorow.

Just finished it and was playing from 5-15 hours a day. 27.6h according to steam.

Yeah dude, i've had a minimum of 6 hours a day lol

Definitely.  On Tues. I played for about 5 hours, Wed and Thursday not so much but on Friday played about 6 hours and another 2 or 3 yesterday.  Haven't played any but I'll play for 2 hours or so until I go to bed.

Definitely was the case for me. Now I'm having withdrawals.

Every time I play it I play for hours on end.

First day = 13 hours, second day = 9 hours, third day = 10 hours and fourth day = 3 hours. Now for new game+

Haven't played it yet, but I sunk a bunch of hours into Dragon Age.

I beat it in four days and spent 40 hours doing it.  I would turn it on around 2 or 3 each day and play well past midnight.

Same long sessions here. FYI to those who are trying to beat it fast. You are missing out on some great dialogue/comedy/action/side quests/upgrades.

yess beat it in two days prolly like 20 hours i feel it is about the same as it took me the first one, but playing thru the the first one the second time took me much less like a day just going thru it to get my decisions in the second one

I work untill 11pm most nights so i only get to play it after work and on sunday. Staying up untul 5am going to work, doing the same. damn good. I've been rushing my games the past few months, i dunno, it was like i was just playing to try and complete it as fast as possible. But because the pacing is slow and i love the fiction i'm managing to do all the missions/side quests and exploration without getting stressed or skipping huge sections of dialogue becuase there's so much of it. It's all good!

God I don't even want to think how much time I put into that game yesterday. And I can't even remember what the last game that I spent a whole day on.

I know for a fact I spent over 7 hours on the first day probably more the preceding days. 28 hours later still hungry for more, got to get that renegade play through now.

Yes, and I never do that

Yes!  Please for the love of god make me stop!  I thought I'd put it down after the first playthrough as a Vanguard, but now I'm running as a Sentinel because I was jealous of the cool-looking Tech Armor. 

Completed it sunday evening.. Got it on thursday.. Clocked in at about 50 hours.. And i'm soon heading in for a second playthrough.. Goddamn that game is awesome...

Played a lot today. I really need to take a break.

I've done 5 hours i think. It's hard to stop once you start going.
