TIMESTAMPS 0:45 Persona 5 Royal 2:08 Baldur’s Gate 3 3:38 Red Dead Redemption 2 5:02 Dragon Age: Inquisition 6:25 The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt 7:32 Kingdom Come Deliverance 8:43 Xenoblade Chronicles 3 10:06 Cyberpunk 2077 11:20 Elden Ring

I'd add BOTW or TOTK - two of the best games I've ever played and so much to do and explore.

I just completed RDR2 for the 1st time recently, over 100hrs alone just exploring. Everything about that last chapter with Arthur & his last ride...had me in my feelings for days. Talk about being invested in a character!

Jess is a national treasure in all nations.

If someone is going through it for the first time, and they also go through the “Frozen Wilds” DLC, “Horizon: Zero Dawn” could take over 100 hours to complete.

CP2077 is one of the only games I have ever played to 100% completion multiple times. First on Series X when it launched and again on PS5 with the Phantom Liberty DLC and all the updates. Two completely different play styles and absolutely loved both runs for different reasons.

Witcher 3, AC Odyssey, Horizon Zero Dawn, GTA V and Mad Max had me completely locked in! All-nighters were the norm.. 💁🏼‍♀️😅👌

For me, even in 2024 Skyrim is worth a shout. I'm playing it for the first time, and honestly it's such an adventure, and I usually hate long games. I probably won't try to 100% because I value my sanity, but I'm going to clear my quest list, whatever I happen to organically come across, and leave it at that.

Call me crazy, but I get the feeling Jess may have a grudge against that "tree sentinel dude" from Elden Ring

FFX was the 1st game I put well over 100 saved hours into

So glad Kingdom Come is getting some love! my favorite game

Cyberpunk 2077 is probably my favorite game since the last of us part 2. No matter how hard I try I just can’t get into the Witcher 3

Ive put near 400 hours into Fallout New Vegas, around 190 hour in Stardew Valley and around 140 hour into Fallout 4. Im a very passionate gamer

My favourite part was Jess' Elden Ring story about plinking away at Tree Sentinel for an hour, which was a random example and definitely didn't happen to her.

P5 is most definitely one of the best games of all time. Only game I've completed twice and undoubtedly will play again!!!

Great list! My personal favourite of all time is Baldur’s Gate 3. However, I was quite surprised not to see some big, well-loved games like TES: Skyrim, Final Fantasy 7, Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, Dragon Age Origins (much, much better than Inquisition) and Fallout: New Vegas.

Dragon Quest XI deserves to be on this list. Without a doubt one of the best in that franchise and one of the best JRPGs if all time.

Love Jess' videos. She is so damn entertaining 😂

Red dead 2 was the BEST 280 hours I’ve ever had in a game. That platinum was a grind but I’d do it again.

Xenoblade 3 was my first entry into the Xenoblade series and I adored it ❤ Currently playing the first game and will get around to the 2nd one once the 1st has been beaten haha

Is Cyberpunk worth picking up? I've been waiting until they patched the game into a good state.

Persona 5 + Royale.. I've probably completed about 4 or 5 times.. and I don't regret any of it! Hours well spent IMO, playing a masterpiece that changes and let's you experience new things on subsequent playthroughs. Love it. And have played Elden Ring all the way through twice! And some with Persona 5, have no regretted any of it :)

Great video, and so well presented! You rocked it, and I totally agree with your choice of superb games!

The fact that a copy of Twilight Imperium is on the shelf in the background of a video about games that take forever is not lost on me

There actually some Gems on the list

Glad you included Dragon Age Inquisition, one of my all time favorite game🙂 Awesome list👏

One of the most important aspects of 100-plus hour open-world games is how they handle exploration. It can be frustrating when exploring is penalized instead of encouraged. However, I enjoy games that reward players for exploring, such as when you see a mountain in the distance, decide to climb it, and are rewarded upon reaching the summit.

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.

I don’t care what anyone says, Cyberpunk is amazing. Sure it launched broken, but they owned it and gave us an amazing game and universe. The wait was worth it

Me watching this video while playing my 900 hour of Fire Emblem 3 houses....

Dragon Quest 11S took me over 100 hours as well. That was epic, particularly the "post-game"

X-com (1 or 2, either is exceptional) and Two Point Hospital are my most recent 100+ hour excursions

Rdr2 and cyberpunk were so good in my opinion that i did literally everything the games had to offer. Cyberpunk has run out of things to give me yet i still return to drive around night city, until it makes me feel empty And rdr2 is just eye candy

Hearing Jess go on tangents never fails to delight. The world needs more people who unashamedly and brightly share their thoughts on what brings them joy.

If only I had 900 hours to play Videogames. 😅

Thedas may just be an acronym for The Dragon Age Setting, but at least it sounds like a proper fantasy name.

Solid list.

Larian has been making decent CRPGs since 2002.

That Melissa Rori ministatue it's awesome.......

Witcher 3 I've almost reached 200 hours and I am just past half the main storyline... my Geralt has been doing side quests, bounties, and um, visiting establishments of culture for the most part.

Back in 1999, broke my left leg badly and dislocated the ankle as well, all in one fall. Now i have a metal plate and 9 pins in my leg. 3 and a half months out of work and then i've had to relearn to walk again. Luckily, Jagged Alliance 2 had just come out. Finished it 3 times in that time span, over 150 game days in each playthrough. Played other games too, little of this, little of that but JA2 was what kept me entertained. And it's not in your list. It takes a lot more than a 100+ hours to finish.

I put about 800+ hours into Persona 5 Royal over two years, and still sometimes go back to a midgame save for fun.

I'm glad you included Kingdom Come Deliverance. It's one of the most memorable games I've played

I very nearly did that exact same thing to that darn Tree Sentinel! Even knowing he was intentionally there to tell us to get better and come back later, I still didn't want to stop until I beat him xD

I've put on about 300 on starfox zero

I love games that you can sink a ton of time in to

The only games I've invested time into is cyberpunk 2077 and personal 5 royal, never could get into the other games much

I've just rolled credits on XC3, final playtime was 105hrs and that's without a lot of the side quests. Now moved onto the DLC, which is likely to be another 30hrs at least, and I'm not remotely tired of it yet.

Finished 6/10 on the list. P5 and RDR2 are my favorites. Both games got me emotional after completion 😅😅

WHAT!! No Starfield? I'm stunned.

The Winter Palace quest is the main reason I haven't finished DAI and the reason I will not pick it up ever again. I had no problem running around the Hinterlands to doing everything, the Winter Palace was where I pt the game down.

I FELT that Tree Sentinel rant in my soul

Thanks for the video

278hours on record completed 100percent CYBERPUNK 2077

Zelda TotK, AC: Origins, Skyrim there’s a ton of great 100 odd hours out there

you said p5royal and i freaked out for a second because i'm literally playing it right now. it's such a good game

Enjoyed the video, I agree with most, definitely KCD, as a guy that hates death I always play on easy so imagine the screams when kcd has no easy mode, my gf loved the cut scenes and encouraged me to try, so I got gud ( with the help of a few cheeses on UKposts lol) My gf is so happy that the sequel is coming, although weather she will enjoy me picking flowers for days on end to make potions to make my fortune that will be seen. 😂

I put over 150 hours into BOTW and am about that far into TOTK

You just blew my mind about Thedas!

Yakuza 0.

Good list 👍🙂

You completely described my whole strategy when it came to killing that tree sentinel. I stocked up on 600 arrows and made it my business to defeat that thing.

I enjoyed your game specific personal stories because I related

80 hrs later Im still in act one of Baldurs Gate 3.

I just finished sinking near 160 hours on Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, granted I got ever job to everyone over 30 but still worth it for all the right reasons. Also I probably put 120 in Tears of Kingdom to 100% that. That was less worth the badges but the game is just fun to pick up and mess around for a few hours.

Love Xenoblade 2 and 3 so much. And the music is for me unmatched in the genre.

I recently bought the Witcher 2 and they've improved so much in the Witcher 3, I feel like the menus are easier to get through in 3

I think this is the first WCG list I agree with. Before starting the video I was like "Elden Ring, DA:I, and Witcher3 should be on the list" but I was preeetty sure that except for the latter, I'd be disappointed. Nice to have been proven wrong!

Totally underrated gem that’s a time sink is Rogue Galaxy

Your amazing Jess love hanging out with ya

All great games another great one is the FF7 remake games, the 1st one is only about a 30-40hr game but rebirth is easily a 100+ hour game

I've pumped well over 1000 hours into Monster Hunter World and Skyrim. Close to 700 in Elden Ring. Put 125 into FF7 Remake and still haven't done everything

As someone who has lived there far more than 100 each game...The Horizon franchise is my cup of tea (although I accept not everyones). The DLC to the first game is almost a stand alone game unto itself...and in the eyes of this "casual" gamer...near perfection.

Always Skyrim comes to my mind when it comes to how much long time you spend in video games.

I unapologetically admit to playing through persona 5 royal 9 times simply because of the gameplay, the music and omg that ost is wall to wall bangers

FF7 Rebirth took me more than 100 hours to beat.

Knew persona 5 would be on the list, I'm a proud Platinum owner of the ps3 version, I'm working on royal.

How about Lost Odyssey

I'm surprised that you included Cyberpunk 2077. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of the game and have been since pre-order. BUT I'm playing on a PC and didn't have the launch day issues so many people had. I understand why those folks were pissed, but for me the game was outstanding. And with the inclusion of Phantom Liberty, I'd stack it up against any other game on this list for content and replayability. Let me also say that I am deeply impressed with CDPR's dedication to fixing the game and making good on their promises. You don't see that very much in games or game companies and I don't think CDPR gets the credit it deserves for that.

The Spellforce trilogy each game is about 250/300 hours each !

Final Fantasy 15 Royal editions (including FFXV comrades and episode ardyn)

Thanks for hanging out with us, Jess.

Cyberpunk - tried 3 times 7 hours each time RDR 2 - 55 hours Persona 5 - 90 hours and still never finished it Elden Ring - 250 hours and counting Witcher 3 - 330 hours and want to do another playthroug some time in the future.

Best game on this list RDR2 because Arthur Morgan is a legend and legends never die.

Honestly....youre adorable. I did challenge the tree sentinal for a while but no time for the arrows. Nice list though.

I got the 1000 Gamerscore on Persona 5 Royal in 60 hours, but that was my third Persona 5 playthrough.

Assassins Creed Odyssey ❤

There's a game, where you play as a warden waiting for your God to awake, and you have to do things to make time go faster, is a year long game, can't remember it's name, but definitely it should be on a second list.

The list should be named as greatest games of all time.

I played a demo for Divinity 2 (not OS2) back in the day but forgot what it was called and ended up buying Dragon Age. I'll get round to playing a Larian game eventually... and maybe finishing a Dragon Age, who knows

Kakarot should of made this list, while this is a niche title it absolutely is a game that'll take 100 hours, and why wouldn't it? The world you get to explore throughout the course of Dragon Ball Z is great and whether you're finding recipes for Chi-Chi or doing side quests to get character stamps it all works towards making your playable characters stronger, and it's graphics and respect to Toriyama's story (Rip) is phenomenal as it takes you back to those moments one of which for me was seeing Goku go SSJ against freeza for the first time. Or seeing Vegeta's sacrifice.

you have great charisma!

"if you like your games... that you can wrap up in a week, maybe two, this list is not for you". Bro, i got the platinum trophy for ratchet and clank remake - a 15+ hour eneeavor - within 24 hours of getting the game. Another game, 40 hours, in two days. Some of us are just built different.

I am really glad they put Tetris99 is #1

P5R: 430 hours Witcher 3: 480 hours Elden Ring: 225 hours Dragon Age: 3 console generations 😅

And then there's me, racking up multiple thousands of hours of the Destiny franchise since fall of 2014 😂

If you thought you could lose hours crafting potions in skyrim KCD takes it to a whole new level where it makes you feel like an actual alchemist

Mass Effect OT are 3 games that are actually 1 game in 3 parts. I would include it in this list.

I know the entry was about 3, but I think this is the first time I've seen a WhatCulture video say something positive about Xenoblade 2.

"100+ Hour Games" Meanwhile there's me with about 2000 hours on RDR2 (1575 hours according to my Playstation stats and I played it on Xbox too) And over 600 hours combined on Cyberpunk 2077 PS4 and PS5 versions
