What is the longest game that isn't an MMORPG, ever?

I know MMORPGs like ToonTown, RuneScape, and World of Warcraft take massive amounts of time to beat, but what I mean are games that are really long, but not because consist almost entirely of grinding end-game. I heard The Witcher is 70 hours long, and Fallout 3 takes a serious amount of time if you include all the side-quests.

The longest non-MMORPG games I can remember in recent history are Final Fantasy X, Twilight Princess, and... I can't think of any others right now, but those took a little longer than 50 hours to just complete the main storyline! I know games like Super Smash Brothers Brawl have really hard tasks that take forever to complete, so I suppose I'm looking mostly for adventure games from start to finish.

What is it!?

Longest as in story or as in stuff to do?? Cuz if it's the latter I think Disgaea could be a nominee there.

I put over a 100 hours into FFX trying to unlock all the ultimate weapons.

This isn't really a System Wars question... at all.

Oblivion is pretty huge, so are FFVII and VIII. There isn't really a "longest" without a significant amount being the grind.

story?? MGS4?? :P

Seriously, Disgaea 3 has TONS of stuff to do.

Disgea 3 = 300 hours :P and still didnt unlock everything.

Persona 3 or 4, take your pick

I think Persona 3 was longer. Around70 hour for stories alone I think.

lol toon town and runescape, UGH, just UGH.

Anyway the longest game I think I've played was probably Tales of Symphonia, that took around 80+ hours with all the sidequests, though to be honest that game's story felt really long winded by the end. I've been meaning to pick up The Witcher though.

Ive put at least a 100 hours or more into every Final Fantasy game Ive played

Easy, Monster Hunter Freedom 2. My friends have clocked in almost over 1000 hours and havent finished all the missions available.

Not quite sure on that, a lot of the good games can take forever to beat.

Even then, it doesn't take a 100 hours. Max 80.

[QUOTE="siLVURcross"] For what purpose?...Most take like 40-60 hours to beat. Unless you're doing EVERY single thing.siLVURcross

I don't know why, but this reminded me of that guy's sig (can't remember who is it)

"No achievements so you're playing for nothing :lol: "

:lol: :lol:

The elder scroll 4: oblivion is longer then final fantasy

doing everything in FF12 takes an upward of 200+ hours. Morrowind though takes even longer.

I went about 300 hrs in FFXII.

Of all time? Daggerfall of course.

From this gen..GalacticCivilizations 2 with add-ons propably

Loki's main quest is 200 hours long too

I thought this thread was just about start to finish without going and trying to do other stuff. The main story line. Just doing what it takes to get to the credits.

Daggerfall, because it takes roughly two weeks to get from one end of the map to the other, and then you mid get distracted from reachinig your dstination with a little dungeon diving.

if you mean going from the start straight through to the end without sitting around doing side quests and crap, The Wind waker was rather long, took a while to search for all the triforce shards, if you mean sitting around and trying to unlock everything in the game then Disgaea 3 certainly seems to be full of alot of content.

Like someones else said, i would say its Persona 3:FES. It will take around 100 hours to complete the main story, although side-quests are pretty much non-existant I guess you could argue that the S-links are quests and that the elizabeths mini task count, but they are very repetative (except a few).

You guys have obviously never heard of Football Manager.

Easy, Monster Hunter Freedom 2. My friends have clocked in almost over 1000 hours and havent finished all the missions available.

Daggerfall and Dark Cloud 2 /thread

Diablo 2, StarCraft 2, and WarCraft 3. Nothing beats those. Nothing.

And, AGAIN WITH THE TOONTOWN PLUG????????

if you are talking about games to their fullest completion then anydisgaea game will last you more than any mmo lol

The Witcher 70 hours? No not really more like 30-40 hours if you include all side quests, unmarked quests and mini games. F3 same time as The Witcher unless you explore every area will it rich 100+ hours but I don't think there's a reason for that since most areas are cut&paste anyway. Although if you include exploring EVERY single area then I suggest you try TES II Daggerfall, see you in a couple of years :P

umm, to 100% them Pokemon games tend to take a long time.

Ive also spent a lot of time unlocking all the secret characters in Jet Set Radio Future, but I Think the max its gonna take me is 200 hours so...

70 hours for The Witcher? I did everything possible within 30, unless you mean going back and getting the different erotic cards (and thus doing the other 2 paths you did not follow the first time around).cametall

I did almost everything possible in my first play-through (although I undoubtedly missed a bunch of side-quests), and it took me around 50 hours. I hear that the average time for other players was around 50, although I've heard of people taking even longer in their first play-through.
30 just doesn't seem long enough...odd.
