    What's the best value you have got from a game? In price divided by hours.

    I'm excluding free to play games.

    For me it is:
    Skyrim 150 hours for 50 euro.
    Vampire Bloodlinnes 20 Euro for 100+ hours.

    Edit:
    C&C Red Alert 40 Euro for 100+ hours.
    FF7 50 Euro 100+ hours.

    Morrowind on the PC. Dumped hours and hours into it while in college.

    I got Dawn of War free when I bought Company of Heroes. Put a few 100 hours
    into it.

    That, a few Football Managers and Oblivion.

    For PS3 probably Oblivion or Fallout 3 both great value and hundreds of hours played

    Dune 2 battle for arakis

    Picked Terraria up after watching a let's play of it paid €10 I think over two hundred hours played.Best value game for me as the devs released two major updates for free which really added to the longevity to the game

    I'm still a good bit away from getting every item in the game :D.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,781 ✭✭✭eddhorse


    Didn't really pay for the PS+ free version of Sleeping Dogs but it's great value for money.

    I'd also back Dark Souls, lots of hours die-ing to the end.

    The Orange Box, I must have put hundreds of hours into TF2 alone.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,269 ✭✭✭Tubbs4


    Age of empires 1 and 2 for online joy.
    Uncharted 2 for online play, loved plunder and last of us for the single player.
    Most FF up till 13 and guilty of liking 12 and put over 100 hours into it.

    Forgot warzone 2100

    For my punishment biggest waste was the return of matt hazard but that's for another thread.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    Halo multiplayer, 100's of hours gotten out of that.

    Other notable mentions, Company of Heroes, Battlefield 2, Unreal Tournament and Dawn of War.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,660 ✭✭✭COYVB


    A link to the past had served me to the tune of about 20 hours a year since I was 12 (in currently 30)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,340 ✭✭✭deco nate


    Rainbow six, black arrow 2? played it for years online. Xbox got to 123 out of 100.000 in the world before
    all the gliching stats happened(ie. In the first few months) tbh I'd buy it now if it was in arcade store with beefed up graphics. Oh for
    the days of free dl maps! :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 455 ✭✭Xyo


    The binding of Isaac - 263 hours ( so far) for 5ish euro I think.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭SeantheMan


    -Orange Box
    -COD4
    -Leauge of Legends (it's free !)


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,116 ✭✭✭Professional Griefer


    Binding Of Issac, think I got it in a humble bundle, love the **** outta that game.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,066 ✭✭✭Washington Irving


    Quite a few games from Steam sales as well as Civ IV & V and a few Championship/Football Managers through the years.

    Each no more than €30 and several hundred hours put into them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,061 ✭✭✭PickledLime


    Most recently - The Last of Us with about 40 hours online and I'm 78% through my fifth playthrough.

    Dark and Demon's Souls - paid €42 for both of them, and between them I've clocked 300+ hours.

    Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown €15 from PSN, well over 100 hours.

    HL/CS or HL2/CSS... many thousands of hours, guess about 30 quid ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,184 ✭✭✭marshbaboon


    Dota 2. 1904 hours for nothing.

    I've had my fill though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,516 ✭✭✭dor83


    Burnout Revenge - played it online almost every day for over a year, loved that game.
    Forza 2 - again, played the online in this for well over 100 hours, the best of the Forza games imo.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,932 ✭✭✭YouSavedMyLife


    Binding of Isaac, Terraria, Diablo 2, Call of Duty Black Ops, World of Warcraft:TBC - WotLK in that order. Dropped hundreds of hours into each of them and all well worth the cash


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,570 ✭✭✭Mint Aero


    Tomb Raider 1 hands down. I've replayed it at least once a year every year for the past 15.


  • Registered Users Posts: 37,299 ✭✭✭✭the_syco


    Battlefield 1942

    The game; days upon days. The mods for the game; even more days.


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,359 ✭✭✭✭Vicxas


    DOTA 2. Free - 24 hours played.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    Very few games hold my attention after completion, recent times Borderlands 2 still playing after over 800 hours :eek:

    Rockband games gave me value for money also, after those I have to look right back to the Diablo games and GTA 3 / VC which I played many times through.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12 wheelie_bin


    MW2, played it for 500 hours. Still throw it on occasionally.
