how long does it typically take for you to finish a game?

The post about game prices peaked my interest a bit and I want to use this thread as sort of an ability barometer. I have to admit I love playing but it takes me about 2 1/2 months for me to finish a game basically because I'm not 20 anymore and am loaded with obligations (all good of course). So essentially I get about 2 hours of game time a week. I know much of this depends on the game but if you can provide an overall average-that might work best. The reason why I want to know? Just curiousity

i'd say 10h total

it depends on the game. i always sit at nights for about 4 or maybe 5 hours cause i work from noon to 9 o clock in the night.

some games till now took about 2 weeks , like ninja gaiden sigma 1 2 normal and hard , inFamous , while some took less than a week, uncharted 1 , resistance...

Depends on the game, a week (50 hrs for Demon's Souls), or maybe just a day or so. I almost never beat a game in one sitting.

A short game like Uncharted or Batman AA for example would take me a week or 2 if i was trying to make it last longer. RPG's will take me easily over 50+ hours

maybe about seven days...i dont like beating games quick..i play here and their

RPGs: Anywhere from 2 weeks to a month. I take my time with them and try to do as much as possible.

Action/Advenure/Platform: About a week or so.

it takes me forever now that i'm a married man with 50+ hours of work a week, and then house chores. i miss the the good ol' days where i could sit and play every free minute that i had, but now i'm just to busy. because of this Fallout 3 is taking me forever:P

Usually 10 hours for the average game, rarely more than 10, generally between the 7-9 range. For a more complex game maybe 30-40. That being something like Oblivion or Fallout or even GTA IV due to the amount of sandbox content and ability to free roam.

games like uncharted and killzone- a few weeks

crap games like bioshock-never/throw them away

Depends on how much free time I have. Either a couple of weeks or a couple of months. I work so that takes up most of my time. I plan on doing some gaming today since it's my day off and I bought inFAMOUS yesterday before heading into work. Just have to pick up my paycheck at work and get a couple of things.

Batman AA is short? I has like 30 hours into my first playthrough :DMelpoe

well its good to know im on par with most- although it takes me a cuple of months the number of hours I put in seems in line.

That is true, I went and did all the amazing riddler challenges soo :roll:Melpoe

Ouch. 2 1/2 months is a long time. I can finish a game in a couple days, but then again my workload isn't as heavy as yours is.

I get about an hour a day, maybe 5 days a week to play (married with 3 kids). That's just an average. I might get 10 hours in a good week. I guess it takes me anywhere from 2 - 6 weeks to finish a game.

usually around two weeks

if its an amazing game, it would take me 3-4 sittings.

if i get stuck (which i am in uncharted 1 and kz2) might take me 10 sittings. rpgs about 2 weeks if its really good. fastest i beat an rpg was 3 sittings (kotor2) in three days

thats all depending if i'm not addicted to a mp game or a sports game. cod4 really got me stuck, and for awhile that was all that i was playing....so uc1 and kz2 have been sitting there for awhile...i'll finish em eventually

Depends on the game..... this is how i remember my first play through of some games, note that I like to take my time with new games.

Oblivion - Still playing ( finishing all the guilds and add ons ) its been 2 months

Far Cry 2 - 2 weeks

MGS4 - 4 days

Uncharted- 2 days

Uncharted 2 - 4 days

Resistance 2 - 2 days

Batman AA - 2 days

Re5- 5 days

I usually make my self put a game down if i think i will beat it in a day.....
