Poll of the Day > What game have you beaten the most, which takes you 10+ hours to beat?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Id say Final Fantasy 1 for me, probably somewhere between 15-20 times. I go back to it with some regularity, and have given myself a few challenge runs on it (win with 4 black mages, a solo white mate, etc). Ive never done a low level run or a speed run - I tend to take 12-15 hours to beat it.

Curious to see what some other answers are on this, I expect itll be all over the place. Predicting Chrono Trigger to possibly be the most popular answer (if there even is one).
---

Probably Tales of Symphonia. Think I've beaten it at least 5 times. Probably around 40 ish hours for the fastest clear time. Never played it with the expression mission to go as fast as possible.
---

I would say Final Fantasy 1, but it takes only about 2~3 hours now.

I do replay long games, but I can't think of any in the 10+ hours range... using Chrono Trigger as an example, which I've beaten at least 40 times (by default, 'cuz endings), subsequent endings only take a small additional investment.

I've done Final Fantasy X 3 times, 12 3 times....

I have done Final Fantasy 6 at least 10 times, and I might be close to 10 hours on it, definitely more if I'm clearing the Rage list.

I've done a soft 4-job Fiesta for Final Fantasy 3 a couple times... mmmm
---

Yeah, maybe one of the tales game, probably symphonia. That game was so much fun to play with my brothers when it came out. I also played vesperia with them, and beat it a lot as well, but not as many times as symphonia.

OoT might be up there as well. Maybe dmc3se and bayonetta as well, but they might not take ten hours to beat
---

Chrono Trigger I've beat over 10 times

Zelda OOT N64/3DS I've beat over 10 times

Not sure what one I beat more though, it's close.

I guess it's possible to be Dwarf Fortress... but that's not a game you beat.

You can put in over 10 hours per run, but you don't win.
---

Final Fantasy Tactics.
---

For me...toss-up between Chrono Trigger and Saints Row 2.
---

Kingdom Hearts. I actually got done playing through the series again last week.
---

It's gotta be Ocarina of Time, if that's even 10 hours. I'm not sure it takes me that long at this point. Otherwise it might be something like ALttP or Mario 64, but that's kind of the same thing, they don't seem like 10 hours anymore.

If those don't count then I have no fucking idea. Maybe Twilight Princess
---

If beating an individual scenario and campaign in the Heroes of Might and Magic games counts as beating the game, then either HOMM2 or 3. Otherwise, Tecmo Super Bowl (NES), since I've beaten it with all 26 teams, plus several more times.
---

Pokemon G/S
second is prolly battle b damman fire spirits believe it or not lol
---

Ocarina of time or final fantasy 4. Hard to tell. Most of oot playthroughs where done all in one week.

I just got done with a third playthrough! Took 28 hours the last playthrough, but I cared about less stuff that run (was trying to get the last Flanoir scene to finish the Collector's Book). I have to play through one more time though because I forgot to get a title for Colette.

Including my Gamecube playthroughs, the number of completions would be around 6, I think!

Depends on if you count New Game Plus stuff and the difference it can make in repeated playthroughs. For example, with Soul Nomad and the World Eaters (PS2), I got a certain equip up to seven boosts by beating the game that many times. But while the first run (Good alignment) probably took around 40 - 50 hours, the second run (Evil alignment) took closer to 10 hours, and the following playthroughs took even less time because I could steamroll everything.

If you count only times when all playthroughs would be over 10 hours, then Borderlands, maybe Borderlands 2. I've beaten the first with all characters and some of them multiple times, on PC, PS3 and 360. The second hasn't been finished with all characters, but still just as many, and did the first NG+ with one as well.
---

I rarely beat any game more than once,way too many other games to play.

The only one that comes to mind is Resident Evil 4, which I've completed 3 times.

Legend of Dragoon or FFX
---

Super Metroid. Used to attempt speed runs but was never fast enough to compete with people who hold or break records. Had fun attempting it for a while, though.
---

I want to say OoT, but Im not sure if it takes me 10 hours. The game I start the most is either Legend of Dragoon or Majoras Mask. Though, I finish Majoras Mask most of those two...
---

Probably Diablo 2.
---

Zelda:OoT or DK64. I've finished each about 5 times.
---

Suikoden 2. I've beaten it over ten times, I stopped counting after I reached double digits.

New Vegas, I beat it like 20 times over 3 systems. Takes roughly 20 hours each.

---

Probably Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Half-Life 2. I've played through them at least 5 times.

I misread the topic title >.>

Probably Rayman Legends. Got the platinum on both PS3 and PS4, and one of the trophies requires you to grind out a bunch of daily challenges to reach the top level.

Maybe MGS 1 and 3

Deus Ex HR I beat a bunch of times

Heavy Rain and Detroit trying to get all endings

Until Dawn for the same reason

Assassin's Creed II

Most of these I've only beat a few times
---

does games with multiple endings count?

I would say one of the Etrian Odyssey games

I still hate that damn forest puzzle. Stupid fruit and fish.

Same, except I've probably done it 7 times.

I beat Rogue Legacy many times, but it doesn't really take 10 hours.

I'm not sure how many times I've beaten Sonic Adventure 2, when all things are considered.
---

I'd say Ocarina of Time, which I have played completely through at least 20 times, but that game takes about 8 hours to beat. Same with A Link to the Past.

I played through Twilight Princess about 15 times, so probably that.
---

Either FFVIII or FFX

Probably FireRed, X, or Omega Ruby

It alwats took me around 12 hours to beat. But I never played and tried to rush through everything. Id goof off and play stuff like the horseback archery or fishing just for the he'll of it even after I won the best prizes.
---

Beat Borderlands 2 plus 50 times, all difficulties, OP levels, with friends and randoms.

EDIT
Only the OP levels and ultimate badass difficulties take me 10+ hours to beat by the way.

It's gotta be Paper Mario 2.
I used to really like it and play it obsessively and Youtube was still new so I was getting a good stream of new ideas, twists and challenges to make it fun. There was Dangermario, beat Bonetail with 10hp, try interweaving the trouble centre with efficiently beating the story, try hoarding coins and see how it affected the run, try a run with overreliance on each partner, just play through again completely normally for fun, try to play as fast as possible, try playing with an unorthodox set of moves and badges, or maybe just replay to find something new to talk about or say about it.

I miss having that curiosity and sheer enthusiasm to replay and experiment with even a game as same-every-time as Paper Mario 2.

What game have you beaten the most, which takes you 10+ hours to beat

impossible to say for sure. some candidates include (these are all complete playthroughs):

Baldur's Gate 1 (original and EE) (10+ times)
Dark Souls 1 (10+ times)
Descent 1 (5+ times at least)
Civilization 2: Test of Time (countless times; not sure if it takes 10 hours though)
Deus Ex 1 (~5 times?)
Factorio (5-10 times or so)

---

Suikoden 2 probably.
---

Like all of them.

---

Final Fantasy 6. I have beaten that 8 times at least

I've completed Star Ocean: The Second Story at least 20 times. Legend of Legaia has also been completed about 20 times for me. I've played through Chrono Cross maybe 10ish times? Not quite as much as the other two!

Awesome games.

Not 100% sure on the numbers but these are my top ones that I've played from start to finish.

Earthbound (~8 times)
Fallout's 1 and 2 (~6 times each)
A Link to the Past (~5 times)
Chrono Trigger and Cross (~5 times each)
Terranigma (~5 times)
Metal Gear Solid 2 (~5 times)
Secret of Mana (~5 times)
Steambot Chronicles (~5 times)

Final Fantasy VI, easily. I've played so many platforms pre-iOS. I've played the SNES one the most, with or without mods.
---

I'm sure everyone here actually has beaten these games X amount of times, especially the classics...

...but I'm thinking people might be miss-estimating how much 10+ hours actually is
---

Hmm probably Chrono Trigger or FF6

As I pointed out in a post of mine I never plow through a game there almost always some level of me goofing off for awhile in the game for no real reason aside from enjoying the gameplay. So what would be a 8 hour game to some people turns into a 10 hour game for me.

Steambot Chronicles (~5 times)

I wish I could have played that game but the controls were so awful.
---

Probably Fire Emblem Awakening, because I keep trying to find a party that will make Normal mode a decent challenge but that doesn't violate common sense (for instance, by not having any healers). The game always ends up getting way too easy by the end, though. I guess I also like reliving the story and listening to the characters talk.

I have beaten the game on Hard mode, but it was hard enough that I don't feel like doing it again. >_>

It would probably be either of the first two Final Fantasy Legend games, or perhaps Final Fantasy Adventure/Adventures of Mana. Or maybe Deus Ex.
---

I was going to knee-jerk say the Mass Effect games, but I'm literally playing the Saints Row games again now, and in retrospect those have to be right up there as well.

Inventory management adds multiple hours to any game I play that has it - I literally cannot walk through a room in any game and not pick up every single item not nailed down.

I spend a LOT of time in Skyrim walking in slow-motion to the nearest town or place where I can stow junk because encumbrance is my eternal foe.
---

Hmm.. probably Mass Effect. Played the shit out of that to try as many different combos or classes and choices in the story as I could.
