Longest it has taken you to beat a game

[OssMan]

Final Fantasy 6 I started when I was in sixth grade. I got to the floating continent and got really frustrated because I could never find out where to go and I kept dying and probably couldn't beat some boss. When I started playing again probably two or three years later I beat the floating continent in like 30 minutes. And I think it took me about a year to beat the final boss. Not sure about that, but I know I beat it right before I went into tenth grade.

Star Ocean Till the End of Time I started right before my freshman year of high school and I got pissed at some level and stopped playing. I realized I still had the game like three years later and the same thing happened where I beat that level as soon as I started playing it again, dunno what was hard about it at all. Then I forced myself to beat the rest of the game just cause I was really far and I suffered through that stupid piece of shit for a few months and finally beat it right before senior year. So it took me three years.

For me, I think it was Dragon Ball Z - Dragon Ball Z: Kyoushuu Saiyajin(Assault of the Saiya-jin) which took me close to about 5 months total to beat.

[Indifferent Clox]

Earthbound, started playing in like 9th grade, finally beat it this year.

[OssMan]

Earthbound took me about a month to beat.

[Indifferent Clox]

I couldn't get past winter or something. But yeah when I played it agian this year I beat it in like a month or less

[El Fangel]

San Andreas - 4 months

I could not get past the second Zero mission, so I just went and blew things up for awhile while occasionally attempting the mission.

So it took me three years.

I finished the game, but there is a extremely hard boss fight in a long ass dungeon I gave up on after like 9789070766452342345556 tries.

[LuigiD]

Non-continuously? probably Super Mario World.
I got that when I was like 5-6 and didn't beat it until I was like 13-14.
Continuously..probably Command and Conquer Red Alert.

[Super V]

Rambo for the NES, about 16 years after I first played it I beat it on an emulator. Wasn't worth it.

[Gertner]

I still can't beat Silent Hill.

[The Mask]

San Andreas - 4 months

I could not get past the second Zero mission, so I just went and blew things up for awhile while occasionally attempting the mission.

hate to break this to you but the zero missions weren't even mandatory :D

[The Mask]

still haven't beaten super mario 3, not that i've tried much lately. but the last world always kicked my butt.

[OssMan]

Been a while since I played Shenmue. Haven't touched it in like 6 months. Gonna beat that in your honor The Mask

[El Fangel]

Im a perfectionist in GTA games, I go start to finish. Had a 100% file on there, mad awesome to have a harrier and a tank in the Grove. :cool:

[D Mac]

Many games have I played the shit out of but never beaten.

San Andreas, Bioshock, Far Cry 2, Call of Duty: World at War just to name a few.

[The Mask]

Been a while since I played Shenmue. Haven't touched it in like 6 months. Gonna beat that in your honor The Mask

nice. they (1&2) are amazing towards the end. like they take ages to get going but the end is just pure fucking non-stop kicking in of heads.

[El Fangel]

Christ, I still have not started the campaign for MW2

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Took me quite awhile to beat GTA3 (always struggled with that fucking Coffee mission where you gotta go to all 3 islands in like 15 minutes)

But when I did beat the game, it was epic cause I first played GTA 3 at a friend's house and he had already unlocked the second island. Yet I still somehow beat the game before him.</font> :cool:

[ClockShot]

Legend of the Dragoon.

I'm at the Divine Dragon and a bit underleveled. And I still got like 2 discs to go.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Legend of the Dragoon.

I'm at the Divine Dragon and a bit underleveled. And I still got like 2 discs to go.

Fucking loved that game.

Oh, and Ninja Gaiden Black. Took for-FUCKING-ever. Used to play, get kind of far, get pissed off and put it away for a bit, then play more and repeat.

[thedamndest]

Vagrant Story probably took me around seven months to complete because I was really bad at the chain attack system at first. Got like halfway through and then quit. Picked it up again over a summer break and ended up figuring it out but had no idea what was going on. The time I spent on Vagrant Story was not in vain as it prepared me for Playstation 2 launch game The Summoner.

[Splaya]

I just started playing Legend of the Dragoon again a week ago. Such an epic game

[OssMan]

yeah i had legend of dragoon. got sorta far, stopped playing though. save file is long gone. i've probably been on Link to the Past for about a year.

[Jeritron]

I "beat" Super Mario 64 back in middle school, and then didn't really play it again. Then last year I finished up the last of the 120 stars.

When did I beat it?

[OssMan]

It depends on what your goal was when you started

Which reminds me I need to get the last 18 stars in Super Mario Galaxy

[Verbose Minch]

Christ, I still have not started the campaign for MW2

You aren't missing much.

[FearedSanctity]

Super Mario Bros.
Age 3 - Age 19


Didn't play it all that often obviously, but still

[McLegend]

Goldeneye- I got stuck on Bunker II and would get pretty pissed everytime I died. I stoped playing for a while. Then probably over a year later I picked it up randomly one night, and beat Bunker II on my first try. That really infuriated me. So I ended up beating the rest of the game in less then a month. The whole ordeal took me about 2 years though.

Same thing happened with Mario 64 as well.

[Buzzkill]

Definitely Ocarina of Time in like 4th or 5th grade

[Rammsteinmad]

I had Bart Simpson: Alien Invasion or whatever it was called for the Sega Master System, before I sold all of that years ago, I'd had it for about ten years. I could never get passed the first level. :(

[Hanso Amore]

Continuous - Oblivion - I had a file with like 140 hours played over 5 months when I finally "beat" the main quest, then sunk like another 50 in on DLC. I think I went to every place and did every quest.

Non- Continuous - Ocarina of Time - Rented that shit when it first came out and never really got past the spot where you go to the desert. Finally beat it on an emulator in 2007.

[Kris P Lettus]

Ghost and Goblins

I started in 1985 and have yet to beat it..

HARDEST.GAME.EVER.

[Tommy Gunn]

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, got stuck near the end and this was before internet walkthroughs, 16 years later I came back to it and finished it.

[G]

TMNT on the NES took me 20 years :D

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Command and Conquer: Generals.

I still haven't beaten the China stage, the damn terrorists keep throwing their green bombs and kicking my ass faster then I can nuke them all to hell.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Still haven't beaten EWR and it's been months!

[OssMan]

I've been stuck in the first 20 minutes of ICO for about 6 months. I think that will take a while.

[Nicky Fives]

GTA San Andreas.... still haven't beaten it... and probably never will unless they release it for PS3 again

[LoDownM]

Command and Conquer: Generals.

I still haven't beaten the China stage, the damn terrorists keep throwing their green bombs and kicking my ass faster then I can nuke them all to hell.

Game isn't even that hard.

[Jeritron]

Finally beat Mario 2 this year. Never had.

I came real close to beating Jaws for NES too

[PorkSoda]

I dont think I've ever beaten a Mario game before....

Beat Sonic 2 this year. Thanks to Sonic's UGC and the save at anytime feature.

[G]

I dont think I've ever beaten a Mario game before....


what. that is mind blowing right there. never heard anyone say that before.

[OssMan]

got those 120 stars on Mario Galaxy, beat that, it's easy

[DaBrasko]

Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest. I first got the game when I was like 8 or 9 so I was shit at video games I think I finally beat it when I was 11....So it took me a couple of years.

[James Diesel]

Started playing Resident Evil Director's Cut when I was like 5-6. I'm 19 and still haven't gotten around to beating it. Usually it's cause something else catches my attention and I forget about it. Then start a new game. Then forget about it. Then start a new game.......

There seems to be a pattern.

The biggest mystery of James Diesel's life: When will he beat Resident Evil: DC?
