I may or may not have pulled some of these numbers out of my ass but these are the games I've finished in the last 6 months or so...so I'm fairly confident they are close. One that stood out to me for it's length is Bioshock...it was much longer than I expected (maybe too long)...I was

bio

shocked when I saw my save time. durhur

 

[Grimm Fandango]

BioShock 2 - 16 hours

 

[larvi]

Here are the only ones I could gleen quickly from the save files on my 360:

Enchanted Arms (1000 gamerscore) - 21 hours
Divinity 2 (1000 gamerscore) - 22.5 hours
Risen (1000 gamerscore) - 23 hours
Mass Effect (1000 gamerscore) - 2 chars at ~24 hours each for 48 hours total
Oblivion (1250 gamerscore) - 80 hours
Lost Odyssey (1100 gamerscore) - 93 hours
Blue Dragon (905 gamerscore) - 103 hours (only achievements I'm missing are button mashing ones which wouldn't add any more time if I had any skill)

I have a few more rpgs with complete gamerscore, Borderlands, Record of Agarest War, DA Origins, PSU, etc that I will see if I can get the game time by loading up the most recent save when I get a chance.

 

[Tommy Gun]

Awesome idea, I was just thinking about how it would be great to have a website that automatically calculated averages based on user input.

You have some mistakes in the google doc -- a bunch of games have the avg./min numbers reversed (or the calculation is just wrong, not sure if you did this by hand):

Nox
Overlord
Persona
Mario Galaxy 2
Sonic Colors
Zeno Clash

and probably more. But great work so far, keep it up! Bookmarked!

 

[Everdred]

Spreadsheet updated all the way to this post. Also, fixed the errors Tommy Gun pointed out.

[rollingstart]

Fallout New Vegas: 80 hours

(side note: the bottom one felt longer than the top one)

Great idea for a thread! I love knowing how long a game will take me, so I can pace myself accordingly:


Ys: Oath in Felghana 10 hours
Ys 7 25 hours

This is helpful, thanks. I think Oath will be the next game I played. I really liked Ys 7 but it did go on a bit too long. My playtime was roughly around that too.


I like this thread idea.

 

[Chao]

Altered Beast: 15

Planescape Torment - 16 hours with a lot've the sidequests done. excellent use of one's time as well.

 

[MEATER]

Awesome thread, been looking for a list like this! Will help me decide what game to start next since I prefer shorter games since I will be more likely to finish them.

Some times I can add to the list thanks to Steam:

Modern Warfare 2 8 hrs

FEAR 2 11 hrs

Black Ops 7.5 hrs

Amnesia 8 hrs

Mafia II 13 hrs

Residen Evil 5 10 hrs (2nd playthrough though, first was on 360 and longer)

 

[ThanksVision]

Like 2 and half minutes for me...


OOOHH you mean games! Okay


How long does R&C: Tools of Destruction take?
nvm 12 hours

 

[cooljeanius]

These are all games that I have beaten, and whose times have been primarily spent in the single player mode:
First, going by times Steam tells me:

• And Yet It Moves - 2 hours
• Braid - 6 hours
• Fortix - 4 hours, but I've played it twice, so 2 hours
• Half-Life 2 and the Episodes I've all played multiple times, so I can't say how much time each playthrough took. Same thing with Portal.
• Machinarium - 3 hours
• Zen Bound 2 - 5 hours (not quite at 100% though)
• Caster - 1 hour (technically it says 78 minutes but I'm keeping the units consistent) (I've only played one of the level packs though - I don't know if you have to beat the second one to consider it "beaten")
• Puzzle Agent - 2 hours

Times Nintendo Channel tells me:

• Metroid Prime Trilogy - 99 hours 25 minutes (can't remember how each of the individual games break down)
• Super Mario Galaxy - 73 hours 8 minutes, although that's including a Luigi playthrough, so let's round down and divide by 2 to get 35 hours for 120 stars.
• The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time: 65 hours 11 minutes
• de Blob - 27 hours 29 minutes
• Wario Land: Shake It! - 10 hours 25 minutes
• Red Steel 2 - 9 hours 12 minutes
• LostWinds - 4 hours 48 minutes
• And Yet It Moves - 2 hours 6 minutes (agrees with Steam time)

Times told by the games themselves:

• Picross 3D - well I've spent about 59 hours on it so far, I don't have gold on everything yet, but some of that time was spent on DLC, so I think that cancels out with the time I could have spent getting gold on everything...

Games I remember having timers that I still need to check:

• Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Subspace Emissary mode
• Chrono Trigger
• I should probably just check all my DS games actually...

 

[Clever Pun]

Torchlight - 29 Hours

 

[Struct09]

Times told by the games themselves:

• Picross 3D - well I've spent about 59 hours on it so far, I don't have gold on everything yet, but some of that time was spent on DLC, so I think that cancels out with the time I could have spent getting gold on everything...

Are you estimating, or does Picross 3D have a time clock somewhere?

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

The Saboteur - 40 hours to achieve 100% completion along with a platinum trophy.

 

[Emitan]

Just posting a number isn't very valuable. Someone posted 43 hours for Twilight Princess but that doesn't mean anything. Did he get all the hearts? Do every sidequest?

Twilight Princess: 20 hours (main quest done, only a few sidequests, ~50-70% of heart pieces, only a few poes found).
Chrono Trigger: 25 hours (all sidequests completed, "perfect" ending)
[PROTOTYPE]: 12 hours (main game completed, ~20% of bonus challenges completed, ~40 of hidden orbs found)

 

[Big Papa Husker]

999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors - 8 hours for (first playthrough - reading everything), 30 hours (all 6 endings - fast forwarding through stuff I had already seen).
New Super Mario Bros Wii - 10 hours (just beat the game, no extras)
Call of Duty: MW2 - 5 hours (Story only, no intel pieces picked up)

 

[luffeN]

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II: 5 hours on Medium iirc. Without all light saber shards and hidden stuff.

 

[shintoki]

I have a few recorded down through Ratpr. Booking this also for future references

Fable III (360), 9 Hours. Basically I chugged through the main story line with a few extra side quests. Normal difficulty

Halo Reach (360) 8 Hours. Single player run through on Legendary.

Nier (360), 24 Hours. This was a full playthrough, all major Side Quests done with best weapons found and all 4 endings Achieved. Normal difficulty

Crackdown 2 (360) 9 Hours. Single player run through with side achievements. Normal difficulty

Tomb Raider Underworld (360) 8 Hours. Single Player run through on Hard

Medal of Honor (360) 4 Hours. Singe Player run through on Hard. It was probably more like 3 hours, but I encountered many bugs(Two that required me to restart) along the way.

Toy Soldier (XBLA) 6 Hours, play through of standard Single Player on normal difficulty

Bad Company 2 (360) 4 hours. Single Player on hard

Trine PC 6 Hours. Singe Player, Normal

 

[MushroomSamba]

VVVVVV - 2.5 hours
Mega Man 9 - 2.5 hours (1 hour on subsequent playthroughs)
Vanquish - 5.5 hours
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West - 10 hours
And Yet It Moves - 2 hours
Killzone 2 - 6.5 hours

 

[MushroomSamba]

MGS4 - 4 hours

Spoiler

BBE run

I dunno, I think "speed run" times sorta goes against the spirit of this thread, which is to give people who've never played a game an idea of what they're in for. It'd probably be more helpful to post your first playthrough times to give a more realistic idea of what the average player will encounter, imo.

 

[Aru]

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - 18 hours
Done each stage only once and only in Normal mode.

 

[Brashnir]

Just finished Vanquish. The time on the in-game clock said 4 hours, 58 seconds.

I'm pretty sure the game's clock doesn't count cutscenes though - since it felt like it took a lot longer than 4 hours to beat. The game has cutscene diarrhea, so I wouldn't be surprised if the total time spent to get through the campaign was closer to 7-8 hours.
