I'm certain the visual novels are the only games in the bracket that can't be beaten in an hour.

You must be new to Gamefaqs.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GameFAQs

Check the Contests section. Zelda usually wins the annual contest. And when it doesn't it takes second place, usually to something Final Fantasy or Mario.

GameFAQs has a particular audience.

Look, I voted Witcher as well, but at least it's a really good game that's going to win. Imagine BOTW hadnt been released in.the last decade - Smash Brothers would win. And that would be.... laughable is not strong enough a word. At least in this case the Nintendo fanboy energy is directed at something worthy

here's world records for the top 8. these are all any% category (basically, no requirements at all besides getting to the end of the game). Smash is a lot more convoluted so i picked easy NG+ any% which seems to be the main category.

Skyrim: 22 minutes
BoTW: 27 minutes
Dark Souls: 31 minutes
Mass Effect 2: 1 hour 11 minutes
Smash Ultimate: 2 hours 21 minutes
Witcher 3: 2 hours 58 minutes
Xenoblade: 4 hours 54 minutes
Persona 5: 16 hours 12 minutes

Persona 5 actual Game of the Decade according to TC. It's hilarious because there was that one guy on the PS4 forum who called P4G a visual novel, so I almost wish the TC was the same dude.

How can a game that demands more than 1 hour of your life be called "good" in 2020? Are we all 13 again with nothing to do but masturbate in our mom's basement and play video games?

Huh. That seems interesting. All the games above I either know of or could easily imagine the ways you could complete it that fast but unless there's a way to bypass the Omega-4 rally fast this one seems legitimately impressive and I'm curious how the framework of the run looks.

A great game is one that takes more than an hour to speedrun. The longer the speedrun, the better the game.

Not sure if being sarcastic...but I'll assume not.

I wholeheartedly agree.

You're not beating the game in an hour without skills. And if you can, more power to you. That was the first thing I tried to do once I got off the plateau. Took me way too long, and a massive amount of deaths, just to make it to Ganon's room, where I was instantly obliterated. It was that much more satisfying to come back dozens of hours later and kick his ass.

I'm completely sincere. A game allowing for the sort of freedom that just allows the player to rush to the final boss if they think they can take him on was enchanting to me. I didn't try fighting him right off the bat, but what I DID do is raid Hyrule Castle on the assumption that there would be high level gear.

I wonder if OP has a problem with chrono Trigger. It is definitely among the greatest RPG's and it has stood the test of time, but it too could be beat fairly quickly since you could at almost any point in the game simply travel to the final boss. Good luck beating it though.
