Planescape: Torment?

Honestly not sure how it compares to something like Dark Souls (which may or may not be short on its face but offers New Game+ modes) but it probably offers a fair bit of replayability given the dialogue/quest trees.

How can forums be single player? By trying to be clever you fooled yourself!

Phoenix Wright Series - Some of my favorite games of all time. Each game takes around 20 hours to beat, and there are currently 5 in the main line. If you become a super dedicated fan like I am, you will probably end up replaying the first trilogy a few months after you beat it, so that is about 100+ hours if you play all 5 games.
AI War - Each game lasts about 7-13 hours, the average length of an FPS campaign, although this game has large amounts of replayability. The AI is hard, so chances are you will be replaying those 7-13 hour games, and the game is designed in a way that you could play for over 100 hours and still see new ships. You could easily get well over 100 with this game, probably to some ridiculous number.
Minecraft (especially with mod packs like Feed The Beast) - Vanilla game, if you have never had the chance to play it, can easily get you to 100 hours. With mods, it can take 100 hours to scratch the surface. Installing a mod pack like Tekkit or Feed The Beast can turn Minecraft into a whole new game, one that can take hundreds and hundreds of hours to explore. Some mods are designed to have maybe 50 hours of playtime, and packs like FTB have 80+ mods in them. You do the math.

I'm amazed at the people who post without skimming the previous 4 pages of thread, and rather than post "This is MY most time-consuming game" they make it clear they didn't read anything by saying "Has this been posted yet?"

The value of a conversation is in giving your information and hearing the other person's information, and then you have the opportunity to give new information based on what you learned and the new mental position that you're in.

If you close your ears and ignore what everyone else says in a conversation, then jump in with something like "I like turtles!", your contribution is fresh from your perspective but stale and off-topic to everyone else.

Yes of course that game has been mentioned. You'd know that if you spent 40 seconds skimming.

What that tells me is these people aren't interested in what everyone else has to say, only in bleating their own words words words. And that they feel our contributions aren't worth 40 seconds.

You post in a 600 page thread, I don't expect you to read it first. But read the first page and read the last page. Again, give the conversation 40 seconds to inform you, catch you in the topic's current, and shift you mentally to a place you wouldn't have been otherwise.

Somewhat. It's more or less like Spore.
You get to see forums made by other users but generally you play alone.
