Hmm, I'm fairly far in Fallout 3. Finished the original storyline, some side quests and the main quests of the DLC Anchorage, The Pitt and Point Lookout. Still need to do a few of the main quests of Broken Steel.
Mind, I bought Fallout 3 not long after it was released.
Let me think what other games I have which took me a long time...
Welp, there is EVE Online, have been playing that game for over six months now and I can fly the best mining barge in the game... But barely anything else. Why do you think I still do missions in my Frigate whereas most people have Battleships (that's 4 ship classes higher) for that? Thing is, with the real-time skill training, it takes maybe a month to learn how to fly a certain ship effectively, but it would take 20-30 years or something to learn every skill in the game.

You do realize it switches visors all the time, right? Always goes Combat Visor -> X-Ray Visor -> Thermal Visor -> Combat Visor -> and on and on, till you finish it off by pumping a ridiculously large amount of Phazon in it.Amethyst Wind said:
Morrowind. You think Oblivion is long, Morrowind is stupid long, but maybe that's because Morrowind is a whole lot more difficult.
It took me months to finish Morrowind... I don't really remember how many.
Oblivion I haven't finished, but that's mostly because I got tired of it. I should pick that up again... finish the main quest and the Knights of the Nine quest, since those were the only ones I had left...

Fantastic Dizzy - 14 years.
The Lion King (without my Dads help/cheats) - 14 years.
And Metal Gear Solid I got in '99 and never completed by myself until 2007, because the frozen warehouse Vulcan Raven battle scared me so much. I have no shame.

Ocarina of time. I was but a lad, and that bloody forest temple did my head in. I didn't find the water half as hard as most people though. Overall, took about 4 or 5 months on and off. Twilight princess is the only game i've 100 percented, getting every heart and bug and other crap took about 80 hours.
Pity most games clock in under 7 or 8 hours nowadays, fallout 3 was the last single player game to last me a decent amount of time. *sadface*

I started Wind Waker around a year ago.
Told it to go fuck itself when it got to the triforce fetching part near the end.
I'll finish it... someday.

Godfather: the game. I don't even want to remember that. Took out ever single mob hub, and controlled every store in the whole game.
Ha I did the same thing. Even got the magical armor, but I just wasn't determined enough to get all of those damn pieces.MiracleOfSound said:

2 years, Final Fantasy VII.
My reason(s).
First reason: Hundred Gunner and Helli-Gunner...
Seriously, Some may laugh but I was about... let's see... 1997... I would have been... 8 years old. I had no real idea what I was doing, I lucked into getting to the Shinra building let alone the point where I'd be escaping.
That bit took me a solid few months.
Then I looked into the Materia system further and realised I couldn't just horde the good stuff for Cloud and shared the wealth with the other characters.
I beat the gunners after that.
Second reason:
Gi nattak...
I spent two years playing FFVII to the point where I could fight this guy and fucking die every time...
TWO YEARS. After which I was told out right that I could throw a phoenix down on him...
(I actually didn't do that and instead beat him the good old fashion way (with swords).
Possibly the biggest fail portion of my life.
But at least I got over it and now enjoy revisiting my old save file to do some of that awesome chocobo breeding that I so desperately wanted to do the whole time.

I took a 12 hour streak to complete metal gear solid: guns of the patriots on PS3.
Was well worth it.

50 odd hours on Lunar for PS1, good game, got it done it three very, very long sittings.
Longest set of cut scenes: MGS4, more like Metal Gear longer than the lord of rings with minimum game play. Actually I think I am one of only a few whoe acutally found the story compelling enough to actually considered it a movie (or an interactive movie during the time you actually played it) and quite enjoyed it.
