..time to finish a game? I've had games take years to finish. For example GTA San Andreas I have savegames from 2006-2008, and I still have not finished it. Stalker took darn near a year for me to finish. And here I am nearing the finish of Fallout3. A game I started October 31st 2008. Is it me or do some games just take a very long time to finish?

Never mind the fact that I've got 20+ games on my playlist. I'm sure many of you also have similar lists. A key factor is this: as unbelievable as it may seem...its time.

Not game time, time to get around all the games coming out all the time. I get maybe a couple hours a day to game, with maybe 4 a day on weekends. That's 14 hours. Of course probably 6 of that is Flight Simulator and tweaking. That gives a solid eight hours a week to finish some of these beasts. Some of these games are just so massive in scope (fallout3) that it makes sense with time like that it could take a year to finish. Although I really am enjoying it, it almost is a burden to have to finish. For this reason i'm really starting to like the 10 hour game. Say COD4, that was 6-8 solid hours of fantastic gaming. Or Warhead, that was a perfect length for a game. I'd never be able to play Wow with this kind of time.

So, how much time, on average, do any of you take to finish a long game?

Like a week to a month....I play a lot, and usually start again, in the last month I think I have finished 3 games in around 55-70 hours

20-Valkyrie Profile Covenant of the Plume, completed it 2x

15-Megaman ZX advent, very easy

20-Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Echoes Of Time

Well for me, wow I'm very inconsistent. Alot of games I don't even Finish. San Andreas, like you. Except I never even got close. Red Steel and The Godfather on the wii. I got all these games years ago. On the other hand I will beat other games in a few days like Resident Evil 5. I'm on my third play through of that. Trying to get all the weapons upgraded.
