How long does it take you to beat a game? - Page 2

April 6, 2008, 2:14 PM

It depends on the genre of game and also how much interest I have in the acutal game. If I'm not majorly interested in a game, it will take me much longer to complete.

On average, I'd usually say 4-6 weeks for me to complete a game, but games like Resident Evil only usually take me about 2 or 3 days because I'm playing it constantly for lengthy amounts of times.

Well with certain games such as hand-held games I could beat in 2-4 days. That is if I'm really sucked into it such as the Phoenix Wright/Ace Attorney series.

Games such as Final Fantasy and other rpgs usually takes me about 40 hours, then I go back to do side quests and level. It takes me about 2-4 weeks. Maybe more depending on what's going on with my life.

Shooters.... I can beat within a week.

It usually takes me a great deal of time to beat a game, but it really depends on the game.

Fighting games take me the shortest amount of time since I can memorize combos and moves easily to get through fights.

RPGs take the longest since I hate losing, I spend a long time doing side quests and leveling up a great deal so I can breeze through certain areas and not worry.

Depends on how interested i am in that game...
If i am very. I can finish in less than a week.
If i am not.. I take more than 3 months to finish, lol..!

On average...I'd say 30-40 hours. There are games that are simply gigantic like Oblivion, Dragonquest VIII and Tales of Symphonia--and then there's shorter games like God of War and Fable.

I haven't been playing many games that have a set beginning and end as of late, however. I play a large amount of multiplayer games like Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4.

A game I've never finished is Disgaea. That is going to take a long time, I can tell.

Other than that the average amount of playtime ranges from 27-50 hours, not counting all the random stuff you can do.

The actual game time depends on the genre but depending on how much time I have and whether or not I actually concentrate solely on that one title it could take anything from a couple of weeks to several years.

If I just play the storyline and don't worry about any of the extras, it only takes me a few weeks to beat a game. I usually do the sidequests and leveling as I go though, so it takes me months or even a year to beat some games. I did that with FFXII and Kingdom Hearts II.

Depends on the genre...

RPG's a month at most, really depends on my mood, and the quality of the game, most of the FF's I finished with 70 somewhat hours gametime, which is about a month.
Shooters just a couple of days, hell if it's a good one I finish it in one day.

It usually takes me a while as i dont consider beating the game as just simply finishing the direct storyline.
I wont consider a game beat unless i have completed and obtained everything the game has to offer, until i 100% that game as far as all sidequests, ultimate weapons, full stats etc.
