How long do your typical play sessions last?

1-2 hours a day during the week then maybe an hour total over the weekends.

When Fallout 4 comes out though...god help me.
 
At this point, usually like 30 minutes like twice a week. It stinks because I can usually play some Hotline Miami, or even a mission in GTA. But it sucks because a half hour is barely enough time to delve into a RPG or simulator which I really miss.
 
Completely depends on the game and my time availability. If I have time and it's a good game, I could easily have 2-5 hour long gaming sessions. If I'm short on time but want to play a quick pick up game (CSGO, FIFA, NBA 2k, etc.) I'll play for like 30 mins to an hour to get my fix before I return back to w/e I was doing.
 
30 minutes usually. Sucks, but I usually can only grab a quick gaming session here and there.
When I am lucky 2 hours. Those types of sessions are few and far between though.
 
It depends. If it's a repetitive game, then I can only go about 45 minutes at a time. But if it has a lot of variety then it can be a lot longer. I had a pretty long session last night and it was 2.5 hours or so. I've only had two games so far that had me playing them so much that I had that "holy shit, there's daylight out now" moment- Gran Tourismo 2 and Fallout 3
 
30 minutes to 2 hours, currently. More the former, and I already don't play every day. More than two hours and I get fatigue.
 
For me it's typically 1 to 2 hours, but realistically it's whenever I find the time.

If I've got a day free or my girlfriend is away on business then I usually fit in longer sessions up to 3-4 hours before I move onto something else.
 
New games/dragons dogma, I can easily put in 8 hr sessions but that really doesn't happen that much. Most of the time 1-2 hours, unless its a fighting game then it depends on how much I win online that day
 
It totally depends on what I happen to be playing. With most games, the 1-2 hour range is common. Something like Xenoblade or a Souls game can bring about sessions of 4-6 hours at a time. I like to make sure I have at least a few hours available before getting into a game. If I've got less than an hour I usually won't even bother.
 
About an hour. It's the reason why I dislike lengthy, indulgent cut scenes, overly-long tutorials and games with huge gaps between save points.

A decade ago I'd play for 2-3 hours several times a week, these days games come way down my list of stuff to do at home.
