Longest Video Games to Fully Complete (On Average)

I spent 8 years beating Skyrim. I played it a lot, mind you, a few hours here or there, but I kept buying it on different systems. Then on the PC I would mod it to the point where it would crash and corrupt my game and I would have to start all over again. Then, of course, work or graduate school would destroy the ability to play for months on end....and then I corrupt the saves yet again.

Yep, that's me.

I truly do not have any sense of strategy. So, I just owned it and said Starcraft would be the game I would play while I am drinking beer or gin and I would happily crank out the cheat codes. Because some days I need some senseless fun and don't need the guilt tripping about how much I suck.

Cheat codes are da' bomb! :lol:

I can't upload a screen shot, so you'll have to take my word for it: Skyrim, 5, 746 hours. Honest. Been playing it for five years, almost constantly, 4-5 hours a night. Can't even count the number of characters I've created, lol.

Thing is, I STILL stumble into quests, people and places that I have never even seen, met, or been! I absolutely love that game. :)

Incredible game.

I like the campaigns, but I can't devote enough time to the games to make multiplayer a worthwhile experience.

Of the three, Wings of Liberty was the best narratively and mechanically in my opinion. Although the massive retcon of Kerrigan's character and Raynor's relationship with her was jarring. (literally the last exchange between them at the end of Brood War was Raynor saying "Some day I'm gonna be the one that kills you, bitch." )

I managed to beat Heart of the Swarm (second SC2 single-player campaign) on the highest difficulty only making zerglings. It's... not a hard game.

I buy that sort of game for the multiplayer. I'm not sure if I ever did bother finishing the Brood War campaign.

I started in BC. I know it was Feb. 2007. I had a week or so off and no trip planned. Around 10pm on the first night I gave in and downloaded the demo. It was another 28 hours or so until I went to bed...

I stopped around 2015. Maybe I played a bit in 2016. No matter how much they expanded, it was just the same damn thing over and over. I'm sure that'll happen with ESO at some point.

I think it's already starting to happen with me on ESO. I hit CP160, did a grind to get most of the CP160 gear I needed. At least enough to activate all the set bonuses. I'm good now, at CP166 and just see a sea of tiny incremental steps to CP810 and it stops feeling like fun.

Like all open-ended games, yes, increases will be incremental and smaller each time. CP's rise pretty well for a while, as long as you're burning rested experience. There's also the matter of slowly upgrading to legendary items (if so, do weapons first). That's kept me going for a while now. Well, that and bringing up new characters. Apparently there are or will with Greymoor be "mythic" items somewhere out there, though I'm guessing that would require top-tier group content.

Yeah, I am contemplating starting a second character and being boring and sticking to an accepted script. Now that I have a main that can craft OK gear of all types I will have an easier time of it.
