How of much of your life has been used up playing RPGs?
« on: February 10, 2003, 11:25:12 AM »
I swear – there are lots of types of games that can take a lot of time to play, but I don’t think any other genre ultimately ends up costing me so much overall game-playing time in the end.  I think I must spend about  120 to 200 hours on each RPG I play.  Is that average?  How much time do you think you spend on RPGs on the average, and what’s the longest game you ever played?

Generally, I play an RPG about 80 hours... I always try and max out everything possible.

If it takes more than 100 hours, I usually end up getting bored and switching for a while, which means I end up restarting later.... I would estimate, just from the biggest RPGs I\'ve played, probably about 1500 hours.  

If I added computer games, even JUST diablo II (which I used to play for profit), then probably around 2500 hours.

Damn... what a waste of time...  (off to play Diablo II - for fun now)

:p

Usually about 40 hours for me, I don\'t try to get every useless xyz item that does nothing except for the sake of "being there".

Really, it sucks too much of my time. I\'m playing Legaia 2 currently and this game is nuts. The battles are near impossible even if you\'ve very high levels, tons of random battles every few step and even the normal battles can kill off your party!! It\'s that crazy!

I don\'t think I can take it anymore so I use my Action Replay to correct the programmers fault :)  Now, it\'s much more enjoyable!

I think I need to quit RPG...

I\'d say, probably a good 300 hours...mostly on the Final Fantasy series. I just like a game with a good plot...a lot of games don\'t seem to offer that nowadays...

more than 500 hours... and started with ultima IV..
just hoping to find good RPG and not just adventure games with stats.. (ie. final fantasy)
really liked final fantasies (6.7.8) and (5.9.10) were quite ok.
each took couple times 50+ hours..

Only RPG that I ever really finished was FF7. It took me forever! I\'d say 150+ hours.

I use to play RPG only once, but that time I like to do it pretty well. For example, I have now more than 140 hours in FFX and still unfinished.

The exception is FFVII, that I\'ve finished 3 times.
