How long do you think you should play video games a day

[Mullen_S]

Title says it all, what's your opinion and any studies that say stuff about it that's actually legit

[007agentHP]

minimum of 4

[minibois]

About 25 hours a day seems fine.

It depends on what else you do in the day. I try to keep the gaming under 8 hours MAX and that is absolute max. 

Usually I try to actually keep it under 5 hours, so I actually can do more stuff in a day.

My school work is not suffering because of gaming

drinking a bit too early i see ;^3

2-3 hours if you are in school. And don't do it all that time, have break or two where you actually leave PC. 4h is max that anyone should do if its daily thing. If you only have few days a week, then longer times are ok. But remember to take those breaks.

i play games too much. 3-4 hours stretch, perhaps 2-3 times on an off day. No games on a work day, for those days i just youtube and chill. And even then i think i spend too much time on the computer. But then, working with computers might be responsible for that.

[bbeast]

I think you should play them around 1-2 hours on working day cause you dont have some much time and all the time on weekends. my opinion

[RuffRuffmcgruff]

For how long that person wants to, I work 5 days a week so don't get as much time anymore but I will dedicate my weekends entirely to gaming. I'm talking like 15+ hours. But hey that's the way I wanna do it

[TechStyle]

Ideally only like 2 games of CS for me but I lose games and I wanna keep playing till I win and I end up playing for like 6 hrs lol.

[Tilaron]

A healthy 8-16 is fine

[Bazilias]

5 hrs max

[EChondo]

Uh, as much as a person wants too? If you're asking about how it would effect a developing mind, well there's tons of studies out there that you can Google, but the number of hours you play a video game a day doesn't really correlate to anything else for the majority of people.

 

I've been playing video games for a long time, since I was 2-3 years old. I'm almost 20 now and I'm a pretty level headed guy with a nack for IT/Networking.

 

So is there a limit? I personally don't think so as it ends up being more of how you should manage your time instead of it being a mental health issue.

My worst was 16 hours a day when working as a game tester. 

[plsno]

18 hours a day so you can get 6 hours of sleep

[GodSpoon]

Just don't let it start affecting your schoolwork/sleep/work schedule

 

Video games are great, but its not worth your job or sleep

 

Unless its fallout 4

 

Fallout 4 doesn't count 

[Vivilacqua1]

well, usually about 5 hours weekdays, but around 10 on weekend days, wich is kinda affecting mr doing my homework. Because if that, I am forcing myself to not play untill I do most of my work.

[Tsuki]

it doesnt matter how long you play video games for, as long as it doesnt interfere with real things. 

 

i USED to play too much, i'd wake up early before school to start playing, generally skip my first class, go to school, skip my last class, go home and play until 1 or 2 in the morning, get 3 hours of sleep and repeat..

now i have a job and a family, i get home from work, play until its time for dinner, my computer is right next to the kitchen, so i can socialize while the better half cooks, then food, then relax on the couch.  i only get 2 or 3 hours of playtime nowadays, and while i'd like to get more, theres more important things than murdering zombies.

What was that like?

[SteveGrabowski0]

What was that like?

 

I played so much of this multiplayer fps we were testing that I don't enjoy the genre at all anymore years later. It killed MP gaming for me lol. But it's nice when you need a job ASAP that can give you tons of hours (well, until the game gets approved for sale and everyone gets laid off).

[Sauron]

Whenever you have nothing else you need/want to do. In my experience unless you suffer from RSI or similar problems spending a lot of time playing videogames won't affect your health in a significant way, as long as you give the correct priority to everything else.

for as long as i want.

 

i am a grown ass man and i do as i want!

[royalcrown]

You should play in your spare time after you've studied and fried your brain, not before. There is no set amount because things usually vary.

 

[Vozella]

My sessions usually last 2 hours. I just get tired of it 2 hours later. Maybe 4 hours max since I can start again later in the day.

[GoldSrc]

2-4 hours on average.
