This news is cool and at the same time funny. GTA 4 is a splendid game and you can dive into its world for hours, but playing the game for 30 hours? that special. People do some crazy things.

Rockstar games has done a great job in creating a world like no other in GTA4 and that shows by how this 26 year old Indian man who’s preparing to set a new record by playing GT4 for 30 hours.

The record currently stands at 28 hours (held by Jim Patton) and Chirantan Patnaik from Mumbai is determined to make history by smashing through the 30-hour barrier.

    30 hours seems kinda weak. Get any MMO player and they will smash that with a week long record. LMAO

        Where you referencing to the guy that actually died by playing WoW for maybe a week without food or water?

        Yeah MMO players shatter that time record.....wonder if that guy that died playing WoW was ever in the Guinness World Record. He should be.

          No I'm pretty sure he was a WoW player.

          Probably both. And countless other MMOs in Asia.

          It's happened a few times. It's been awhile, unless it's no longer "news worthy." I think like two or three people died once on a Halo marathon, because they didn't stop to eat or drink.

    I couldn't do 30 hours with GTAIV, I get bored after an hour at most.

    I once played GTA:VC for over 18 hours straight....Honestly, I'm sort of ashamed of that, though...

    I'm trying for this. How do people know you actually did it though? If I can find this out, I am officially doing over 30 hours.

        He was a kind man. He was a good man. He longed to be a russian man.

    wow 30 hours? If I knew it was that much of a low target I would have officially made a go at breaking it.

    I so hope he fails just so everyone can point and laugh, though then he can have the record for the amount of fingers pointed at him

    Well jeez. This is pretty easy that he has a bunch of people to talk to. Not a challenge really if you have all these people to socialize with too!

    I honestly think I could beat 30 hours. I never get bored with GTAIV. Ive played it about every day since the release. Still play it to this day.

    30hours isn't much of a record tbh with you, its hardly anything to be proud of =|

    Then again, he is playing that atrocity named GTAIV

      Atrocity is far to hard a harsh word imo.Majorly disappointing for sure, atrocious, no way.

    A fiver I could beat whatever record he sets this weekend...

    All you really need is the free time and the will to go for it. I can spend about 3 hours messing about GTAIV between EVERY mission and theres like a hundred of them.

    Playing GTAIV for 30 hours would be absolute torture.I'd cut my hands off and rip my eyes out if I had to endure GTAIV for 30 hours.
