What was the game(s) that you finished the fatest? I mean, fast enough that when you got to the ending you said ''what? that's it?''. :P A couple of mine would be Mechcommander, Republic Commando, Ace Combat 4 and a lot others but I dont remember the names, some I've even finished in 2-3 days :D (as soon as I remember I'll post them). What are yours?
-
If you're talking about commercially sold games, Time Commando. It can be finished in less than two hours on the default difficulty, but it's nonetheless awesome the whole way through.
Among all games, Mac vs. IBM. You're a Mac and you shoot an IBM at the top, space invaders style, once to end the game. It's black and white, has no sound and lasts for about five seconds.
-
If you're talking about commercially sold games,
Yeah, those.

Did Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy in a day.

Minesweeper, 3 Sec. :p
Seriously, ummmm... I don't know about the fastest, but Jedi Starfighter took me maybe a day.

Jedi Starfighter? Is it good?

Ground Control II. 48 hour marathon session of nothing but the North Star Alliance and Virons kicking ass and taking names. I broke for about six of those hours to eat, or read when I grew too frustrated.
-
FEAR. 12hr marthons FTW :D
-
i used to be able to beat a game in anywhere between 20 hours and 2 days. but lately they tend to last me at least 3 weeks before i beat em. i dont remember any games from back then though.
-
Halo 2. Ten or twelve hours straight (cant remember which) of playing it and finished. Second would come Fear XP, which was also 11 hours. I just finished STALKER as well, in 3 days.
-
Pariah, Prey, Perfect Dark Zero, Gears of War.
-
Max Payne 2. First time I ever played it, it took a few days. Next diffuculty level took 5+ hours. "Hardest" difficulty level took under two hours. Damned fun game, that. Also managed to finish Majora's Mask in under three days cold.
On the flip side, i've had Oblivion for 11 months and i've still not finished the main storyline. :p
-
The new Sam & Max episodes each has taken about 3 hours or so to complete
but still they are hilarius

It has a story? :eek:

Seriously, I just beat Serious Sam: the Second Encounter in like a day. I'm serious.
-
Rebel assault 2 in 1,5 hours!
-
ohh man Rebel Assault 2, those were the days.. wish I knew where my old copy was. :(
-
Minesweeper, 3 Sec. :p
Seriously, ummmm... I don't know about the fastest, but Jedi Starfighter took me maybe a day.
Minesweeper, 1 Second ;)

Seriously, I beat Star Wars Battlefront in only a couple hours.
-
Ace Combat Zero....a matter of hours....highest level of difficulty available ;) <---it matters!
I would have done the same with AC04, but I wanted to play a mission per day. I resisted 2 days before starting a gaming spree.
-
Unreal 2 comes to mind 8-10hrs,
Jade Empire (on Xbox) 2 days,
FEAR 6-8hrs

Star Trek Voyager Elite Force - one of the first awesome and fun star trek games it's an fps. Great single player story with good gameplay and neato weapons. However, it was sort of short, i think like 6 or so hours to beat on difficult, probably less time if you rush through the game. But it was a very satisfying game, i replayed that thing a whole bunch. It had normal gameplay where your hunting klingons and borg, but then it quickly switched to you being the only guy being swarmed by a ton of hive aliens. It was a good game for it's day and still fun to play (uses the q3 engine). While the single player was short, it did come with a q3 type of game where it was all deathmatch, and oddly enough that was fun too, but the multiplayer was where that game had it. The multiplayer on that game was awesome.
Then of course came the last game on earth to have the q3 engine. Star trek elite force 2, much longer game, great job with maxing out the q3 engine, the weapons were a lot more tactical(that's what you get as opposed to being stuck in the delta quadrant) and i'm sure the multiplayer was great as well, but i never tried it :(
-
WarioWare: Twisted. A couple of hours. Short game, but collecting and beating every minigame takes much longer.
I'm actually not sure which I went through faster, Twisted or Touched, but I definitely had a much better time doing Twisted.
-
Half Life: Blue Shift. I don't know how much time it took, but it wasn't more than 4-5 hours.
I was also disappointed in the length of KotOR II, I had been hearing it would take twice as much time as KotOR I to beat, but I actually finished II sooner.
-
F.E.A.R was too short.
-
I don't understand how fear was too short. I didn't have too much time to play the game, it was a good deal lengthy, but not as long as half life 1 per say. Also i played fear on max difficulty, that game is pretty ****ing realistic except the slowmo thing, so i just played on max difficulty, very fun. Besides in real life when you get sprayed with bullet, you are usually going to go down and not keep standing. Also max difficulty really made you have to go out be very careful.
-
All times includes cutscenes.
Call of Duty - 3 Hours & ~15 Minutes
Command & Conquer - Red Alert 2 - 5 Hours & ~30 Minutes
Wing Commander - 1 Hour & 15 Minutes
Wing Commander Prophecy - 3 Hours & ~30 Minutes
Full Throttle - ~2 Hours
Star Trek - Elite Force - ~3 Hours

DBZ: Legacy of Goku... 45 minutes or something. Seriously.
-
Don't Shoot me for saying ..... :snipe: :nervous: :shaking:
Fs1-About 2-4 hours. :doubt:
fs2-About 2-4 hours. :doubt:
Kirby Squeak Squad-1 hour. :lol:
Soinic heroes -4-5 hours.
-
FS1 and FS2 were short... I finished FS2 in two weekends over the holidays, but not 2-4 hours.

It took you more time to beat Sonic HEROES!?!?!? than any of the FS games? Wow...
Also, while ST: Elite force was rather short, it was a ****ing good game, one of Star Treks best, which, given Treks record of games, aint saying much :nod:FS1 and FS2 were short... I finished FS2 in two weekends over the holidays, but not 2-4 hours.
I always thought FS was decently lengthed, not overly long, but not overly short, a great balance IMO.

The reason it took me so long was that was the first time i ever played a 3D Sonic Game ever. :P ;)
and the 2D ones are harder...... :lol: :nod:
-
Between both of us, the 2d Sonic games were amoung the best games ever, and yet the 3d Sonics really arent that great...
-
Half Life 2 Episode 1 - 3 and a half hours.
-
The one thing i didn't like so much about the 3d sonics is that they changed the gameplay too much. For sega dreamcast that sonic game was pretty much the dreamcasts version of mario64 where you have to go out and like collect stars and **** and get other items. That really downed sonic for me. Besides the sonic racing games which are fun, the 3d sonic games sort did away with the blast through the long levels as fast as you can(he's sonic he can do that), just doing nothing but collecting rings, killing some robots in your way, getting past the tiny obstacles, to get to the end of the level where the sonic sign spins as if it were the finish line tape being ripped...or getting to a boss. I wonder if the new sonic games are different, many ****ing levels too.
-
Half Life 2 Episode 1 - 3 and a half hours.
Finished that in about 1 and a half hours.
A close second would have to be Budokai Tenkaichi, took me under 24 hours.
-
On hard or normal? I had it on hard and it was my first time playing, I was also playing on a system that barely meet the requirements.
-
Normal, actually. Hard was a real *****, especially when you fight Striders.
-
Half Life 2 Episode 1 - 3 and a half hours.
I don't have Half-Life 2, but is the HL2 that was released only Episode 1?
-
No, Half Life 2: Episode 1 is part of a three-episode continuation of Half Life 2's ending.
-
Kung Fu on the Gameboy in about 30 minutes. It was my Christmas present. MAN was I pissed.
On the PC... can't think of any really except SW: Rogue Squadron. MAN was I pissed.
-
What, some people beat Ep.1 in an hour?! Did you bunny-hop through the entire game? Slow down and enjoy. :p
Half-Life 2: Episode 1 ---> 5.5 hours
Hitting the Day of Defeat: Source skill ceiling ---> 1 hour
Call of Duty 2 ---> 4 hours
-
Command & Conquer - Red Alert 2 - 5 Hours & ~30 Minutes
With both sides?
When i remember correct, yes.
I finished the Allied Campaign within ~3 Hours. So two and a half for the soviet. Should be right, because the soviet side is shorter.
-
To me, it looked the contrary: I finished the Allied campaign rather quickly, while I suffered a little bit with the Soviet one. Maybe it's because you are better with the Russians than I am. (I preferred the Allied side in even Red Alert 1)
-
What, some people beat Ep.1 in an hour?! Did you bunny-hop through the entire game? Slow down and enjoy. :p
Didn't bunny hop, I just beat the living **** out of all the combine forces easily. :P
-
Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space
Fifteen minutes was the time required to score at the top of the high-score list.
-
Well first i'm going to say, if your finishing games (eg FS1 and FS2) in 2-4 hours, then you should really make sure you set the difficulty right up on the game otherwise your waisting the game imo.
Talking about elite force, i completely agree, absolutely loved the game then felt a bit empty when it was over so fast.
I tend to be quite methodical when i play most games. Especially the likes of the total war games where i really spend a long time over each turn.
-
hmm, let me think... ... i remember now.
the quickest game i have ever completed was Freelancer. 58 minutes.
the second quickest was Freespace 2. 1 hour and 14 minutes.
the third quickest Thief 3. 2 hours and 9 minutes.
the longest running game ever is currently F1 Manager 2000. 206 days and still counting.
-

Bull****. Freelancer is a light form of an RPG game.
the second quickest was Freespace 2. 1 hour and 14 minutes.
Again, bull****. Unless you cranked up the time compression when you had to wait (or cheated, or set it to very easy), there is no way you could finish over 20 missions in one hour. They all average at LEAST 10-15 minutes.

Someone really doesn't get the objectivity of games here...
-
Full Spectrum Warrior I wrapped it up in a Friday night. Is it just me or do the older games have more content? God i remember Hexen II Beyond Heretic, TIE Fighter, Journey Man Project or Duke Nukem 3D being long games to play, relative to today's games.
-
you guys must be newbies then. enough said on that point.
-
you guys must be newbies then. enough said on that point.
What the hell are you talking about? Just because we don't cheat we're newbies? :wtf:
-
hehe, well there is a difference. if you are implying that you can cheat on both fs2 and fl then your mistaken, for starters, FL that i know of has absoutly no cheats. meanwhile fs2... even if you imput them you got a problem, you cannot complete the campaign because the cheats will not let you.
the difference here is what the hell are you talking about?!! :p
-
Are you stupid? You CAN cheat in FS2 and move on. Otherwise you got a really ****ed up copy. I'm pretty sure that you decided to cheat OR moved a distance away and cranked up the time compression. FS2 is upwards of a four hour game.
You can't ****ing complete Freelancer in ONE HOUR AND FIFTEEN MINUTES because you have to travel to different star systems, kill ships, scavenge for loot to sell, sell loot, buy ships, buy weapons, go on side quests, and so on. It's. Not. Possible.
-
Speaking of duke3d. The new source code executable and new model pack for the game with improved textures and models has been released. Also the game is now in opengl
Get the duke3d hi res pack here (http://www.duke4.net/news.php?item.134)
Also duke3d has a multiplayer client as well. To get the duke3d hrp working you'll have to grab the duke3d full version grp file. Easy to find.
Anyway centrixo go suck on some duke3d for a while, not saying it'll take you a long time, but it's another game to purely enjoy and is cooler than serious sam in what i think of it. Also enhanced textures and all of the sprites in the game now being 3d models makes the game up to date and a lot cooler. Some people can spit through the game really fast, but if you do, you don't enjoy it.
Have fun lying about you game times centrixo ;)

I beat New Super Mario Bros. (a Nintendo DS game) in five hours. I was expecting a good Mario platformer... boy was I ever disappointed. :blah:
-

A friend and I have been trying to get this to work for weeks now but have had no luck. Any suggestions?
I beat New Super Mario Bros. (a Nintendo DS game) in five hours. I was expecting a good Mario platformer... boy was I ever disappointed. :blah:
I, too, bought this expecting something really great, all the reviews proclaimed its name, but I beat it and got all the special coins or whatever in only a couple of days, probably total time around 5-7 hours. And even getting the special coins wasn't that special.. at least there are fun mini-games that are multiplayer.
-
Are you stupid?
Tone down the name calling.
You can't ****ing complete Freelancer in ONE HOUR AND FIFTEEN MINUTES because you have to travel to different star systems, kill ships, scavenge for loot to sell, sell loot, buy ships, buy weapons, go on side quests, and so on. It's. Not. Possible.
I've got to say that I agree with you here. While I have no trouble believing you could do the arc missions in that time you have to include the time taken for you to do that stupid levelling crap and I find it hard to believe that you could make all the money you need for the entire game in an hour let alone play the actual game itself in that time. (BTW Centrixo claimed to have completed the game in 58 minutes).
-
Also duke3d has a multiplayer client as well.
Man, I remember playing that on the original, years ago on a dail-up connection. That secret apartment room in the LA streets level saved my ass more than once. Thanks for the heads up on the upgrade project, i'll be sure to check it out.

Seconded. Even with a myriad of mods and other unfair advantages engaged, the best time i've ever clocked on the single player was probably around the 2-2.5 hour mark. It's just not possible to get through vanilla Freelancer in under several hours.

You just made me feel more at home here :). I wanted to see what reaction i could pull off with a lie.
The fastest game i completed was cosmos cosmic adventure in 2 hours 13 minutes, the second fastest would be freespace 1, 3 hours and 56 minutes.
There my fastest.
EDIT: freelancer: 4 hours
Frespace 2: 4 hours and 36 minutes.
There my real timings
-
Again, really trying to complete games in this sort of minimum time possible as someone said, misses the point.
I remeber for some of the old rainbow six games, people were complaining that it was too short. But then you found out that they had completed it, using the default waypoints, and only had about 3 reserve soldiers left who could still play.
Games are what you make of them, racing through them is a waste.
-
Yeah don't race games. I never understood how fear was too short in my others regards either. It was a plenty long game. Very fun on max difficulty. I died many times, and played on my off time in life.
Yeah duke3d is a fun game. The game with the most dangerous explosives. The splash damage on the explosives in that game is huge. Whenever playing i have to be really careful using the rpg and pipe bombs, even the devastator. But, what's kickass is when you whip out the rpg is when duke spits out so many of his cool one liners such as: "*****in' ", "Your ass, your face, what's the difference?", "See you in hell!", "Let god sort'em out". It's so cool because that's exactly the way you feel when you clear out so many enemies with the rpg. That game has so many elements to it too, one of them is the one liners of course, the other **** is the humor, making fun of other video games, movies, tv shows, and bad guys that take ****s on the floor, one obvious one is making fun of the OJ Simpson trial back in the day. It's cool to actually step on some **** in that game too, duke says "**** happens". And my favorite is "K.T.I.T., k-tit, where we play the breast, uuuh, the best for you".
Other elements of the game is the very diversified weapons you can use which are actually very useful and you switch through them all the time depending on the occasion, enemies, getting around an obstacle, to finding the most efficient ways to cleaning out an area. Yes there's many times in the game where an area with a ton of enemies screams pipebomb, and other times when you're fighting battlelords that it screams shrink ray. Hell the game even boasts the first form of geomod i guess you can call it, it's primitive, but in many parts of the game you have to use pipebombs to blast open walls and stuff wherever you see a crack or something (i wouldn't really call it geomod), how many other fps's out there let you blast open walls and stuff regardless of whether or not it's redfaction. Also the level design is really cool, very fun levels to play. Of course my favorite thing to do in the game is get overwhelmed with octobrains and take them out only with the pistol. It's like being cruel to the local alien widlife pumping it full of clips of bullets just to make it die instead of a humane shotgun blast or pipebomb. That game makes you want to make the bad guys suffer :nod:
Man, that game has so much stuff in it. I can understand the parental lock on it :lol: Pretty much the parental lock is stupid. It takes too much away from the game. My parents didn't care anyway, i was playing it when i was 11, and that was the greatest game ever. So good to warrant the buying of a second copy of which was the n64 version.
Guess what i'm going to play now :pimp:

-
i will agree with you on many points that duke 3d is a good game, but i find it... somewhat limiting. i would of complained it lacked real graphics, but for it's time i guess it must of been the real deal.
i liked so many parts of the game though. you can stand on a stage and the duke would sing. you could give the women some money for some exposure, and the minigun; the three barreled super fast firing gun. that game reminds me of an even older game that is identical in the graphics department and the movement, anyone heard of a game called Eradicator?
-
Not sure about this topic. I think my fastest is either Half-Life 2 or NFS Carbon, about one day or less. Admittedly for HL2 I wasn't playing on fair ground - I don't know. These days I somehow end up playing games in a way so that I'll finish them quickly (or exit the game in the process of doing so).
Somehow modern games lack the glued-to-your-seat substance of old...
I have finished games within 30 minutes (and one round of one particular game in under eight minutes including menu screens), but these are arcade games, which usually don't last very long between credits.

HEhe...I played BG2 for MONTHS.... now THAT's a good long gmae.. Took my sweet time and enjoyed every second of it... Passed it 14 times to boot :D
HASTE MAKES WASTE.

Baldur's Gate?
Couldn't stand that game. I simply couldn't get over the massive amounts of Deus ex machina in it. BG1 was much better.
-

Don't worry about that. Most games are terribly hard for the first time around. Testers who play a given level/mission thirty-two times a day cannot catch the difficulty of a first-time player.
-
I still remember the first game on my way to becoming a veteran shooter.
System shock 2 was the first game, and i myself remember the first time, i pulled off some incredible shots back then which are now as seconardary nature as sneezing is. and being scared that the ship will rip itself apart and the worm of the many will eat the ship up. luckily enough i left it for a few months and came back to it, but my shooting accuracy was terrible. Now as good as shooting an enemy on bf2 in the head with a sniper rifle, while they run.
Anyhow, if you consider arcade games, then 14 minutes for pinball cadet on windows games; a score of 6.8 million. Done when i was 13 years old. i still cannot beat that score.

Well, that's probably true, but what I mean is, in my wanton want to just clear the dang career/campaign/whatever and see the secrets and the like, I end up cheating. No, not to disrupt fair play or stuff like that - I just wanna finish the game!!! That kind of thinking... :sigh:
Why can't games keep me to my seat like the old days... perhaps it's the "modder's mind" kicking in. That, or I have too many things to worry about.
Or maybe it's because of this arcade racer that I used to play, where you had to go through a really long single-player mode, before you could even have a proper car to start battling other human opponents with... :(

Buggered if I can be arsed to play a game for 4 hourse at a time........
-
f1 manager, i have literally sit at the computer for 2 days playing that game. 4 hours is a breeze...
