How long to finish a game?

[vega480]

     I was looking at my game collection and started to notice that I have not been finishing many games I get. By finish I mean play through it to the end, not finding everything the game has to offer, just beat it.

     If it depends on the game, just vote based off of the last one you played or purchased.

I have to agree that it depends on a game.
I finished FFXIII in more than a year. It wasn't that it was hard but it didn't really entertain and grip me thoroughly like the other FF games I've played before.  *loves Balthier a lot though*
Then I finished Jak 3 in less than a week. ^^;

Balthier is a stud. The whole last cut scene with him and Fran was pretty sweet too in my opinion.

I can understand the long delay in finishing this game. I too just finished it after taking a long break from it. I think I got a bit burned out trying to accomplish all the hunts and finding them.

Ooh~ I loved that last part, I seriously thought he was done for. T_T
I kinda gave up on the game when I went into the Pharaos of Ridorana chapter... I forgot what came to me and decided to play the game again.
I have yet to play Revenant Wings, but gosh knows how long that would take me again. *admits that she will only play RW for Balthier*

I knocked out God of War in a day, and did God mode the next, but that one was really short. By contrast, I've been playing FFX-2 for four years now, lol. I love the game, I just keep getting interrupted and having to start all over so I remember what's going on, lol.

Being in Germany, now though, I had to leave my X-Box 360 and Eternal Sonata at home, and I miss it SO much! I want to read spoilers so bad, but I must resist!

[vega480]

How was Eternal Sonata, what parts of it you played anyway? I was going to get it for the 360 but then they decided to bring it out on the PS3 with more to it so I waited. Then I forgot about it, so many games come out so fast sometimes. Hard to decide what games, and then for what system to get it for if it is multi-platform.

Eternal Sonata was amazing. Everyone says the graphics are spectacular, but in my personal opinion, they weren't that great. It's more about the ambiance of the game, if that makes any sense. It's all supposed to be the dream of Chopin, the famous composer, and so the music and the colors are very artistically done. The design of the characters is pretty, too. The storyline is interesting for an RPG, and it gives you more than one P.O.V. so things don't become too straight forward. It's a unique visual/auditory experience.

On the negative side, it's not action packed. It's got a lot of scenes that are way longer than they need to be - the intro is slow to the point of being ridiculous. You spend like ten minutes staring at a field of swaying grass while a narrator talks about randomness. You aren't going to run in terror from the bosses--they just aren't that scary.

Basically, it's nothing intricate like Lost Odyssey, it's not mind-numbingly expansive like Oblivion, and it doesn't have sharp, gorgeous graphics like Assasin's Creed, but it is different and very fun to play. Personally, I play Condemned for awhile, get scared and jumpy, and play Eternal Sonata to mellow out some, lol.

If I had to pick a similar game, I'd say FF-X. If you liked FF-X, you'd probably like Eternal Sonata.

Sweet, will have to pick this game up, been looking for a good RPG to work through. I put over 120 hours into FFX, mostly building up my characters and looking the their ultimate weapons. Will be nice to have something I can work on from time to time, not just something to plow through like a FPS.

I take minimum time to finish any game, it takes some time first to learn it then it takes no time to finish it.

the fastest game I've ever finished was Spider-Man: Web Of Shadows
(what a friggin letdown)

[Sirius]

really depends on the game itself, if it's a really enjoyable game you might be able to finish it quicker than a very tedious one lol

I have had games that only lasted a day (like Avatar that lasted me little over 3m for the full 1000) to other games like Final Fantasy or Fallout 3 or Eternal Sonata, that without a doubt, literally take ages to complete, but are very enjoyable to play

I have been trying to be better on this area of completing games I buy. I beat Modern Warfare 2 on Veteran, ranked to level 70 online (not going to prestige) and working on the Special Forces missions.

I just need to learn I don't need the game till i am going to be playing the game, have bought a few full price to only have them be dirt cheap by the time I actually get to play them.
