Longest vs shortest

[Skoldpadda]

To all those people claiming these huge playtimes in Dragon Age: Origins, I call fanboy bullshit.
There's wasn't fifty hours in that overrated piece of shit.

Longest:
Probably Baldur's Gate 2, Final Fantasy games can also be pretty damn long if you go for all the doodads.
Shortest:
Halo 3. Beat it in one casual sunday afternoon, and I'm a slow player.

 

[hypovolemia]

Longest: Persona 3 Portable (130 hours and I still have one ingame month to go), with Persona 4 as #2 (100 hours+).

Shortest: Portal or possibly Metroid Fusion (both 2-3 hours).

Longest: Pokemon Platinum (60 hours or so)
Shortest: MW2 (4-5 hours)

 

[baddude1337]

How are we going to define longest and shortest here? Time to complete, or time invested?

Well, if by time invested, Oblivion is the longest with ~500 hours, and shortest is Portal with just over an hour.
Runner up, Minecraft with omgihavenolife hours, and 1min long solitaire sessions respectively.
