Longest it has taken you to beat a game
 

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.

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

Earthbound took me about a month to beat.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

I still can't beat Silent Hill.

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

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

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

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:

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.

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.

Christ, I still have not started the campaign for MW2

<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:

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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

You aren't missing much.

Super Mario Bros.
Age 3 - Age 19


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

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.

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

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. :(

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.

Ghost and Goblins

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

HARDEST.GAME.EVER.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Game isn't even that hard.

Finally beat Mario 2 this year. Never had.

I came real close to beating Jaws for NES too
