The math don’t add up. 5.5h/wk x 52 = 286 h of gaming, but all those games together are an average of 425h to complete the main story. You are playing alot more than you think!
I’m jealous you had that much time, i love rpgs as well ;) have fun.
I used to be that until I realised that the satisfaction of finishing a game is much better. Since I buy my games, I feel better when I finish the game that I bought
To me, killing off the ender dragon is the end of minecraft but this run was with friends in a server so we did a speedrun of it. My friends are extremely experienced players so we beat the ender dragon in just 4 days of starting the game. We’re currently building stuff in our server and exploring end game content
Years and years ago I had a server with a few friends and we built a massive city populated with villagers. It got to the point where you couldn’t ever have the entire thing loaded at once because there were so many.
Then they did an update and we stopped playing and that was the last time I touched it.
an hour everyday and 3 hours during a weekend is usually enough provided that you dont play multiplayer games at all. Even 30 mins a day is usually enough to finish a lot of games but im not that consistent these days. You can notice the gap between skyrim and red dead (ignore minecraft and fo76)
Oh I didn’t see the dates. Now I really don’t believe you. There’s no fucking way you finish Spider-Man that fast. I played that game. 2 days? Even if it was a weekend you didn’t finish that thing in 6 hours. A lot of these games are very long games.
Spiderman 1 took me 2-ish weeks to platinum. Miles Morales platinum took just 3 days. That was during a vacation and I clocked in 6-8 hours of gaming in a day for miles morales. Main game is like 6 hours + a few hours for the extras and NG+ makes the game a lot easier + I played on friendly neighbourhood. It’s pretty doable.
I have multiple saves with Dyson Spheres around black holes.
They were played consecutively.
I watched, while playing that game, every single episode of classic Trek, and SNW. I believe a few movies are sprinkled in there too.I only stopped playing to play Clair Obscur.
I feel like I have no freetime now and I used to somehow play games go drink do my homework and exams… oh wait now I remember, 3-4 hours of sleep and ocassional allnighters, I was dissasociating and in a haze by graduation I didnt even shave or get a haircut, looked rough
I don’t feel like playing a lot too which is why you see a lot of gap between skyrim and rdr1. I have a lot of games installed rn but nothing gets finished. I only have one single player game at a time but been playing minecraft a lot with friends these days so thats where my time was going towards
The gameplay could have used a little work, but man as an overall experience Guardians of the Galaxy was pretty great. I’d love to see them get a sequel, or a similar game with a different super-team like the Exiles.

How do you consider Fallout 76 to be finished, considering it’s a live service game with fairly regular content updates?

I tend to finish games a lot quicker than their average howlongtobeat times
My Steam recents:
Everything that’s got a finishable campaign here I’ve completed, with the exception of MCC where I only played Halo CE and ODST to completion.
lotta yawns in this list, but i envy your free time. nice life 👍🏿
That’s impressive. I’m more of a “play everything but finish nothing” kind of player…
I used to be that until I realised that the satisfaction of finishing a game is much better. Since I buy my games, I feel better when I finish the game that I bought
How did you finish Minecraft?
To me, killing off the ender dragon is the end of minecraft but this run was with friends in a server so we did a speedrun of it. My friends are extremely experienced players so we beat the ender dragon in just 4 days of starting the game. We’re currently building stuff in our server and exploring end game content

Godamn, how’d you have time?
an hour everyday and 3 hours during a weekend is usually enough provided that you dont play multiplayer games at all. Even 30 mins a day is usually enough to finish a lot of games but im not that consistent these days. You can notice the gap between skyrim and red dead (ignore minecraft and fo76)

If the shown dates are the dates of completion, the span would not be May 12th to May 14th but May 3th to May 12th.
inFAMOUS: First Light has 4 hours for the main story. Which fits this idea. But I don’t use the website.
Spiderman 1 took me 2-ish weeks to platinum. Miles Morales platinum took just 3 days. That was during a vacation and I clocked in 6-8 hours of gaming in a day for miles morales. Main game is like 6 hours + a few hours for the extras and NG+ makes the game a lot easier + I played on friendly neighbourhood. It’s pretty doable.
This is where I’d put my finished games-if I had any.
I vote you play Control next! Challenge mode: Dyson Sphere Project
I have multiple saves with Dyson Spheres around black holes.
They were played consecutively.
I watched, while playing that game, every single episode of classic Trek, and SNW. I believe a few movies are sprinkled in there too.I only stopped playing to play Clair Obscur.
Awesome list! A bit jealous in your free time, how do you do this?
Not really a lot of free time. Most of these were played during my college exams.
Lmao.
"When you’re done with your exam you can just leave you know?”
“Shut up dude, cannot jinx my Gwent streak!”
Man i am going to sound old, but enjoy while you can!

Congratulations! I’m happy when I finish two games in a year.
The gameplay could have used a little work, but man as an overall experience Guardians of the Galaxy was pretty great. I’d love to see them get a sequel, or a similar game with a different super-team like the Exiles.
The exiles would make a fire custom hero game, make your own xman variant
Sadly a concept made for live service, going world to world doing missions
I totally forgot about the Guardians game. I don’t think I ever finished it. Got lost in the hustle and bustle of life.
Gonna have to go back through that.
I played it on ps4 and it was quite buggy but the story was awesome. Didn’t expect it to be that good. It was the last game I played on my ps4
Did you make this chart yourself from scratch or is there some kind of tracking tool to help?
