phart010 | 1,708 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Is there a thread or website that tabulates the amount of time needed to complete various games. Like before I get invested in a game, I’d want to know how long it takes to speed run, how long does it take the average gamer to complete on first go around, how long on second go around, and how long it takes to 100%. is this info already being documented in list form anywhere?

RH | 4,968 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Yeah, I'm very much in this camp, with very few exceptions. I'm at least going to try to play both Front Mission games when they come out. Other than that, It's got to be in the 15-20 hours range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For long games, the Switch (and 3DS before that) are a godsend. Xenoblade 2 took me 80 hours. Average play session might have been 20-30 minutes. In and out when you can spare some time. With PS5 games it's a major challenge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the portability of the Switch is the only reason why I considered buying one. Actually, it's the combo of the too. I like playing Mario Kart with my kids, but I also like playing some before I go to sleep at bed time. I agree. I think I could really get into Forza 5, and probably a lot of other new XBox games, but I'm not interested in being tethered to a TV. I like the big screen, but we have an open floor plan and unless I mute my TV, it keeps the kids up. It's not worth that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, completely the same here. I generally find HLTB to be quite accurate most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,952 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 That and even gamefaqs has people rating the time and difficulty too with averages if you check the data summary section. But the one you got linked is what google pulls from when you ask. I've used it for years, even as a qualifying excuse to NOT buy or try games because I really don't want to invest more than 20-30 hours into a game anymore, usually less in enough cases of it not being some adventure or RPG style thing where it's more expected.

I'm a little surprised they haven't announced Switch ports of at least the early games. I'm pretty sure they'd sell like gangbusters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
