What's the game you've invested the most time in? (outside MMOs)

So assuming everyone here has been gaming for more than a few years you've played a lot of games. Some games however you can replay over and over or just spend months playing its multiplayer modes.
So my question to you guys is, out of all the games you've played which is the one you've logged in the most hours to? And why?

For the longest time I thought the game I played the most was Demons Souls because of the amazing PVP but after finding an old USB and adding up my hours of Skyrim to the ones I had on the hard drive.. the total was around 600 hours easy with many characters just dropped after 30 hours. What surprises me is that even after seeing that obscene number I still have to keep myself from playing it, even when I already have a big backlog of games to finish. As to why it's pretty obvious, many many ways to play and huge world. And that's not even touching the 283939404 mods.

Socom 2 for PS2

Played it consistently for 6 years. I can't even imagine the amount of hours spent on Socom 2. I'd conservatively guess around 7,000 hours.

All of these have broken the 1000 hour mark...
CoD 4
Black Ops 2
Modern Warfare 3
Halo 3
Pokemon x
Final Fantasy XII
Resident Evil 2

There isn't another game like it out there that's as polished as MnB WB.
Despite there being great mods created by a highly talented modding community, the vanilla game itself is a gem to behold that can take up hours of your time.

Age of Mythology probably. Large modding community so I spent a heck of a lot of time in the editor myself making scenarios as well as playing some really original maps from a make shift RPG to run the gauntlet style maps. A surprising amount of freedom to be creative is given if you're clever about what you do and how to do it when designing.

Football Manager. I think the total playtime since 2006 or 2007 (don't remember exactly) should be over 5000 hours, and an average of ~600 hours per yearly version.

Spent huge amount of hours over Skyrim, Morrowind and DAI (Still playing DAI) because well.. it replay value is so high. There's plenty of choice you could change on every playthrough and lots of playstyle to choose from.
I was also a huge fan of Sims City 4. I couldn't even imagine how long I played that game.

Dragon Age Origins. Not sure how many hours, but it's the only game I ever played where I just wanted to keep playing and ended up doing all the side quests and stories. Other than that Skyrim. Which I would have still been playing had it not been for my blue ray breaking :(

If I added all the time I have played each Pokemon game, that would probably be the game I have spent the most time on.

Call of Duty 4 would come in second place. First game I got on the PS3 and played it religiously.

The original Deus Ex for me. I have played that game probably 30+ times with each playthrough amounting to around 20 hours. I even know most of the dialogue, word for word and they aren't exactly generic 'hero-talk'.

Pretty sure it's LoL for me.

I can't say for sure how many hours I've invested in it but it's safe to say it's alot.

Only one that maybe ran it close was MW3 when I was still blind to the crap IW were making.

Probably Diablo 2, sank so much time into that to a point where I'd kamikaze my end-game hardcore characters for fun and just start it all over again the next day without even caring. So fun leveling characters with goofy rules and messing around in pvp with mates too.

I recall investing many hours into "Tales of Symphonia" on the Gamecube. I could've spent less time, but "Level Grinding" is one of my favorite things about RPGs, so I take my time.

Team Fortress 2, over 40 hours. Very fun and relaxing, as is the community.

The 2nd one would probably be Battlefield 3, around 20 hours or so.

I also played a lot of Hearthstone, but I really can't say how much, definitely not as much as TF2.

That has to be League of Legends for me. 1656 hours and counting.
To put that in perspective, playing since 2010.
Feel free to recommend me good romance (BL is fine!) or slices-of-life anime I haven't seen yet!
