Are you stupid?

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.

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 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

Re: Fastest game you ever finished?
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.

Re: Fastest game you ever finished?
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:

Re: Fastest game you ever finished?
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?

Re: Fastest game you ever finished?
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.

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.

Re: Fastest game you ever finished?
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... :(
