    Does it take anyone else a long time to complete a game?

    All of my friends give me flack for this. It usually takes me a year to finally finish up a game unless it's something truly great(GoW 3 finished in 3 days) and CoD MW2 I finished because it was so short anyways.

    But it took me literally a year and a half for me to play all the way through Bioshock. I have Red Dead Redemption and haven't beaten it yet. It took me a few months to get all the way through the Fallout 3 story mode. Now I have had Bioshock 2 since the beginning of August and am only about an hour into it.

    I will eventually beat them all. I will get a sudden urge to play it and go through and beat it.

      Sport games, yeh it takes a while - especially MLB. But for games like Metal Gear or COD I play it nonstop until I finish it, usually about a week.

      It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

        Almost every game that I play I get near the end and never play it again. I have gotten to the last 'level/mission' of about 10 games and then never put the game back in my console. 3 months later I will trade it in to Gamestop.

          It truly depends on the situation. If I am swamped with games at the time, I may implement a rotation system of sorts, which would naturally mean that it takes longer to finish the games.

          However, when it's just a single game, like Red Dead, I play through it quick. I played through MW2 in a single night. (Intense, but extremely short.)

            It all depends on how busy things are at work. I am still working on Mafia II. I will lots of times play games for a bit and then not touch them for a little while, then come back to them. I just recently finished off Red Dead Redemption and I have had it since release.

              I usually beat games within 3 or 4 days. And thats with limited playing. The longest is about a week and a half. This generation I find games to be very short. Which is why I spend most of my time on sports games and RTS games.

                No. First thing I do when I get a new game is beat Campaign/Story mode. I have it done usually by the 2nd day. Then it's straight Multiplayer from there. Latest example would be Halo Reach. Although I did wait a couple days before playing it with Reach only because I had friends wanting to play Matchmaking. But I beat it within the 3rd or 4th day.

                  WOW thats crazy. I am like the OP it takes me FOREVER to finish games. Mainly because I am putting so much time into sports titles. My other games get limited play time.

                  For instance I just finished the single player of Bad Company 2 last night and I got the game release day lol

                  Still have not beat Dead Space and I been playing it little by little. Slightly past halfway right now.

                  I can count the games I have beat way easier than the ones I have not.

                  Beaten
                  All the Gears
                  All Halo's but ODST and REACH
                  Dantes Inferno
                  Bayonette
                  Bad Company 1 & 2
                  COD4, CODMW2, COD WAW

                  Important ones I need to finish
                  GTAIV
                  Saints Row
                  Lost Planet
                  Oblivion
                  Fallout 3
                  Darksiders(very close)
                  Ghost Busters
                  The Darkness
                  Ace Combat 6
                  Blue Dragon

                  I have over 100 games (roughly about 5 grand worth). So I end up really back logged on games because for a while I was buying entirely to many.

                  This year I am buying 3 games

                    Depends on what season it is.

                    During the Fall, football takes up too much time and travleing to go to games.
                    During the Winter I can finish them within 1-2 weeks.
                    During Spring/Summer, it will take maybe 3-4 weeks.

                        Totally depends on the game and how long it takes to beat it.

                        If its a on the rails story game( Alan Wake, Halo, Gears of War) then 2-3 days.

                        If its Open World Game( GTA, RDR), The about a week

                        RPGs depend on the size
