What's the longest it ever took you to complete a game, and what game?

[Cacti Pants]

Some games just have a lot of gameplay, have lots of little hidden bits that can keep a player occupied, and some are just hard to finish, regardless of content.

So what game took you forever to finish?

Mine was probably AC1, I used to get so frustrated because I could never find the miscellaneous events leading up to an assassination (like interrogations, etc.). Then I discovered viewpoints.

It took me a good couple of years to beat Pokemon Blue.
I obtained Mass Effect while it was still new and have yet to beat it.

 

[aPod]

I'd say that game took me a long time to finish because i got so bored out of my mind doing the same reptitive task for every assination i just had to do a few things and set it aside for months at a time.

As for a game i had alot of fun waisting alot of my life playing... hmm... Sim City 3000 was a good one. Though its sort of like WoW do you ever really beat it?

 

[Julianking93]

13 years to finally beat Super Ghouls and Ghosts.

That was the greatest victory of all time.

 

[ma55ter_fett]

That I have actually finished?

Fallout 3

 

[McKay]

Took me about one year to finish Final Fantasy VII. Kept getting stuck, frustrated and stopped playing. Then waited a month and started back up again.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

26 hours Twilight Princess and 2 years Kingdom hearts 2

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

Though its sort of like WoW do you ever really beat it?

One guy did.

 

[Azure-Supernova]

TES IV Oblivion or Fallout 3. I've put a good 100 hours into each and still haven't completed the main qeustline.

 

[Blue_vision]

Took me about one year to finish Final Fantasy VII. Kept getting stuck, frustrated and stopped playing. Then waited a month and started back up again.

This, as well as Final Fantasy IIV. Actually, I haven't beaten Final Fantasy IIV, among all the accidentally rewriting files in the blink of an eye and endless dungeons.

 

[Dys]

Of games I've actually completed, maybe morrowind. It's hard to say, especially because I kept playing sidequests and mods after I'd finished it.

 

[Invaderbrim]

Oblivion, going on a few years now and counting.

 

[Blind0bserver]

Likewise with Assassin's Creed. I picked that one up when the Pc port came out. I still haven't finished it.

Also coming off of my Steam games list, which at this point is akin to a digital graveyard, are Freedom Force 1 and 2, Prey, Overlord, Uplink, Darwina, Fallout 3, SiN and SiN Episodes, and finally Red Faction: Guerrilla.

Yeah, I have some catch-up to do.

 

[userwhoquitthesite]

Barring things like Morrowind or Oblivion where that don't have a storyline that keeps you focused, probably FFXII. level 99 and full license board takes a while, neh?

 

[piez13]

Oblivion, with 100 hours in and the main story not completed.

 

[Aesir23]

Well, I still haven't beaten Final Fantasy VII. So I'd say 12 years and counting.

 

[Loop Stricken]

For games we've actually completed, GTA3.

For ones we haven't, either Eternal Sonata or GTA4. I think Eternal Sonata's cutscene is still going. actually.

 

[Maciech42]

15 years (on and off) to beat the first Mario game. Feckin' turtles.

 

[Virulain]

I've been playing Vagrant Story since it came out and still haven't finished it.

 

[NIHILHATE]

Buffy the fucking Vampire slayer. I got it in, I think 2003, and still haven't completed it. It's those fucking FLOATING ISLANDS!
