Longest time its taken you to complete a video game

[Spirit]

I spend far too long trying to get to the end of Super Metroid the first time on account of being terribly lost.

Likewise I still havent finished Mario 64, yet i still play it quite often....

 

[Snow Queen]

Sonic 06, 2 and a half years.

 

[Mellow Ezlo]

It was about 10 years before I finally saw the ending to Ocarina of Time.

I think it was also about the same time before I saw the ending to Majora's Mask.

 

[Mipha]

Four years. Super paper Mario.

I've been playing OOT and MM for like seven years.

 

[Monkeysnow55]

Twilight Princess, I ignored it for about a year and then played from where I was later, all I had to do was use a hookshot to open a door...*Sigh*

 

[pkfroce]

It took me forever to beat OoT because every time I made it to the Shadow Temple/Bottom of the Well, I stopped playing for like a month. And then I'd pick up the game and be like, "I don't know where I am or what I'm doing. TIME TO START OVER!" This went on for years before I finally finished Ocarina of Time.

I never finished Mario 64 but I've always had files that are 100% complete on it (thanks whoever owned it first). I wanna say I've had it for at least 8 years.

I've had FF12 for over 2 years (or was it 3?) now and last time I played it like a year ago or something I died to the final boss and I was like "oh" and haven't touched it since.

Honestly I can't think any specific examples, maybe Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Knuckles? Yeah the ''complete" game.
Or maybe Earthbound, it took me a long time to beat it.

I think it took me about two and half years to fully complete Project X Zone.

It took me one year to actually beat it, and another year and a half for completion. Long game is loooong, repetitious (most of the chapters were rout missions, if I recall correctly) and filled to the brim with enemies. No plans on playing this title any time soon.

 

[Mercedes]

Probably Skyrim, since I'm pretty sure I had about 200 hours in that game before I even touched the main quest.

 

[Shroom]

I think Dark Cloud was my longest to complete main game. Would have a lot of sporadic play sessions with it, but would find it a bit tedious after a while and have to put it down.

 

[Fiery Klongo]

There are games that I started and never finished but I dont really count those. The Longest that I have timed is about 40 hours on Twilight Princess.

 

[Jirohnagi]

Usually within three days but the longest for me is 100+ hours

Apart from the games I started and never finished. FF 13 took over 60 hours for me to complete.
