I'm talking about a blind first playthrough.

Personally i'm very slow when i play games for the first time as i want to explore and take in their atmosphere as much as possible.I think the biggest game that i managed to beat in one sitting in my first playthrough and still tried to do as much as possible was journey.I know Journey is considered as a very short game but still for me it was quite the achievement.And Flower but that was probably shorter than Journey.
 
I beat MGS4 in one sitting because I skipped all the cutscenes because it was at a friends house and I had never played a MGS at the time.
 
Super Mario rpg. Having kids now and getting bothered by them every now and then, I look back and realize I was a great fucking kid.
 
Undertale
I played it nonstop straight through til 4 AM
I laughed, I cried multiple times, got angry, got genuinely freaked out, and made it my GOTY.

Edit, My friend and I also marathoned Resident Evil Revelations 2
playing as Barry was the best.
 
I remember sitting down and playing Kotor for almost 40 hours straight in high school. I think because my friend let me borrow it over the weekend right before summer started.
 
I played all the bioshock games after they were all out across 3 days I did bioshock 1 on Friday bioshock 2 on Saturday and the infinite on sunday
 
BioShock Infinite and Asura's Wrath.

I don't know why i sat so long play Bioshock Infinite, Asura's Wrath just had me glued to my seat though.
 
Black Ops 1 on the 360. The moment I got out of class, I went home and played the campaign that day and finished it pretty quickly. After that, I sunk the rest of my time on multiplayer and zombies mode.
 
MGS 3

I was going on vacation the next day. The idea of not playing that game, at that time, for some more weeks made me wake up really early and only go to bed once I've had seen credits.

MGS3. Huh, noticing a trend in this thread already.

thumbs up
 
I think probably Dark Souls II. I did my first no-death run in one sitting. Took about 9 hours.

Oh derp, just noticed that it needs to be a blind first playthrough. In that case, the first Devil May Cry. Started playing it at like 10pm and didn't stop until I finished it the next morning.
 
Zelda: Twilight Princess

It was a long-ass sitting.

I'm gonna guess you didn't 100% it? It took me two sittings to 100% it and i clocked in at 38 hours. I remember going to bed at like 9 am and waking up at 4 pm to continue playing.

Edit:

Sorry, to stay on topic, i've finished quite a few games in one sitting. Recently i've done a lot of 'play a game for an hour, then the next day beat it in one sitting" Did this for the new shantae, undertale, and last guardian.
 
All the Uncharted games, save 4. I always crush these games, and when I get the Pro, it's over with for 4 too. Christmas can't come soon enough
 
I've had way, WAY too many of these... but the one that mostly comes to mind is Dark Souls 1 clocking at around 60+ hours (and many symptoms and diseases along with it).

Some people still remember this shit. Never again.

Story time (not for the faint of heart): http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=36925741&postcount=73
 
On top of my head I remember Kane and Lynch 2. We played for 3h and then my pal says he cant handle the camera shake. Turns out there was only one level left so we just blazed through.

Pretty sure I've done it with a longer game tho.
 
MGS2

Dont ask me how

Brother!

Really though. I did this too. It was hell. This was back in the day before I owned a ps2 so I had to rent one for a weekend and somehow beat mgs2 in that time span because there was no way I was going to convince my parents to pay that much for a rental ever again.
 
Single sitting is probably something like Luigi's Mansion. I played through Vice City in what felt like one sitting but I'm pretty suyre I slept in the middle of that, but it was like 2 solid days.
 
Played and beat God of War III, Uncharted 3, and Little Big Planet 2 all within a span of 3 days. That 3 days was the most I've ever loved a console.

Lol i remember that. :3 I thought you tried to do it for Bloodborne as well?

Impossible, considering no other game (except for Diablo 3 and FFVII:R) has/will ever reach that amount of hype. I did 30 or so hours with Bloodborne, which in comparison was a joke :lol
 
I took breaks and slept in between as I normally do (since I started playing at... 10-11pm) but I beat Bayonetta 2 in an under 24 hour span. Closest thing I have.

Seeing answers like Twilight Princess in here... Man. I don't think I could ever pull anything like that off. 5-6 hours is the most amount of game time I can do in a row and even then I don't feel right if I don't take a couple breaks.
