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

[Bloody Crimson]

Hm...gameplaywise alot of games I own. When I get stuck I leave them and come back. Or Echochrome, then again I'm still trying to beat that game...most epic puzzle game ever.

LocoRoco took me literally 3 days to complete. In a 16 hour car ride with nothing but the psp you're bound to finish an addicting game like that.

 

[(whitty name here)]

I think im still on world 8-1 for Super Mario Bros. for the NES

 

[RatRace123]

I bought Spyro: Year of the Dragonfly when it came out, I still have it and it remains unbeaten to this day.

It took me a while to beat Assassin's Creed, I kept getting bored and moving on to Mass Effect.

 

[Asturiel]

Who says i've beaten half of the games I would listed? They just keep racking up the years.

 

[WrcklessIntent]

Twilight princess about 2 or so years. Got an xbox when i was half way done it and just couldn't bring myself to play it agian for the longest time.

 

[IrirshTerrorist]

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.

MetalGearSolid, it was years before I was capable of beating it because I started playing it when I was only little.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

World of Warcraft; 24 times 30 hours.

 

[hermes]

Over 100 hours to beat Dragon Quest VIII. The game is so punishing that grinding is almost mandatory.

 

[Queen Michael]

Tetris for the Game Boy. Eighteen years of playing that damn game, but FINALLY I reached the end.

 

[IamQ]

Took me 11 months to beat Assassins Creed.

 

[Peabob]

13 years to finally beat Super Ghouls and Ghosts.

That was the greatest victory of all time.

I salute you sir.


For me probably 5 years on FFVII. got it in '95 when I was 7 and had no idea about stats or anything I just spam attacked everything. Worked until I reached the demon wall then failed over and over. Left it til I was older.

 

[Quoth]

Tetris for the Game Boy. Eighteen years of playing that damn game, but FINALLY I reached the end.

There was an end to tetris?


The longest single campaign play I ever experienced was probably a medieval 2 campaign. It took me weeks of play with several hours and a lot of sessions of play.

 

[harvestsmoons]

Saints Row 2 is still going for me and i doubt i'll finish it anytime soon.

 

[Shaegor]

GTA IV. I started playing it... got about halfway through until I stumbled on some extremely pain in the ass mission that I tried like 20 times and couldn't finish, so I figured to hell with it and left it there. Six months later I was bored, decided to try it and somehow did it on my first try, finished it after that.

 

[Amethyst Wind]

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.

Are you trying to say Final Fantasy III? With Roman Numerals you can only ever have one character before another to denote (x) less than . So in this case IIV would translate to either 1,1,5 or 1,4. III translates to 3.

On topic: I still haven't finished Metroid Prime. I couldn't beat the final boss when you had to use the pool of nuke-juice to power your gun. I couldn't see the enemies even with the visor on!

 

[Mighty Lighty]

The first sonic game took me 14 years to complete as I played i when I was 4 then bought the computer version last year and completed and all I got was a bloody thumbs up
