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.

Re: Fastest game you ever finished?
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.
Shivan here, Shivan there, Shivan everywhere.

My english isn't very well, so sorry for a few mistakes.

Re: Fastest game you ever finished?
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)

Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space

Fifteen minutes was the time required to score at the top of the high-score list.

Re: Fastest game you ever finished?
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.

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.

Re: Fastest game you ever finished?
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.

Re: Fastest game you ever finished?
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

Re: Fastest game you ever finished?
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.

Re: Fastest game you ever finished?
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
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:

Re: Fastest game you ever finished?

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.
