I applaud anyone who had the mental fortitude to complete the entirety of AC Valhalla, i tried multiple times and never even got close. It's a 40 hour game dragged out to 200+ hours of content.
Lengthy! Just finished Persona 5 for the very first time, took me 100 hours and yeah I was a little bit tired out toward the end but my goodness what an incredible game that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Also just wanted to say I don’t remember how exactly found your channel but love your videos man, you always crack me up with the “youuuu guessed it, another video”🤣keep up the good work and much love
5R was more like an episodic story, which is why I think its weak. Each boss is its own seperate arc and story. Felt like those 90's episodic animes. 3 and 4 are tight, cohesive, and much more interesting. 3 dealing with suicide, bullying and death, 4 with murder, mystery and investigations, 5 was just 'KOOL KIDS DOING KOOL SHIT'
I love FromSoftware games. Was shocked that I finished all of Dark Souls 1 remastered at 55 hours according to my PS5 account. Elden Ring took me 165 hours to finish the main game. And total of 185 hours to finish the rest of the side bosses and my favorite game of all time. So I hope the dlc is at least 100 hours of content 😮
I like to speculate so I'll make some guesses based on what we know so far. - I think the DLC effectively will have around the same amount of content as Dark Souls 3, i.e. somewhere between 1/3 and half the main game of Elden Ring. (Based on dev time, the first trailer and the amount of tracks in the OST) - I think the map won't look jaw-droppingly big at first glance, but will end up feeling enormous due to verticality and density. - It will most likely be HARD. FromSoft always up the ante with their DLCs, and IMO Elden Ring is already their hardest game by far. Most of us will probably spend a LOT of hours butting heads with Messmer and his buddies. - It will likely have a lot of replay value because of the new loot and build possibilities, and by extension make the entire game more exciting so revisit. All in all I think it's safe to say there will be a lot of hours to enjoy. Can't believe we're only 3 weeks away!!
It’s worth doing the side content in the Trails. A lot of the sidequests flesh out the world even more and develop characters. It’s especially cool in the later games where sidequests might have a returning character or two.
Took me 137 hours to beat Elden ring. Crazy. It felt so natural too none of it was a chore. I normally way prefer short games (8-20 hours in the sweet spot for me) I would usually steer clear of longer games because of the commitment.
Funny part starts when you realise that Elden Ring will recieve a DLC that is as big as 40-50% of base game. I finished base game in 115 hours but I suppose there is 50 more.
I think the longest game I’ve ever played and finished is RDR2. Mainly because it was so good I 100% it and played it twice over. That’s all I played for months on end when it came out gosh 5 years ago. GTA 5 is a close contender but RDR2 is just longer and better in my opinion. Great vid!
I just finished Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. It was estimated 50-60 hrs (which included some achievement hunting) and had a slow start. But the second half (called Resolve) is so much worth it. Amazing, amazing climax.
The longest game i've played is Baldr Sky, i did every ending on this game on the same slot so i can collect enough xp to unlock every move and create batshit insane combo. It ask me 214 hours to fully complete every route and every endings, and adding 10 hours on the survival mode because the gameplay is one of the best combat system ever made, on par with god hand in term of customisation of playstyle imo
Assassins Creed Odyssey was really long for me, I explored all the Islands and did all the side quests, haven't even started Vahalla but got it on sale. I completed Dragon quest 7 on the PS2 yearsago, took me ages 😅
Assassins Creed Valhalla is a a huge drag with its side quests. I had the same issue with Dragon Age Inquisition. the difference there was that the main quest and companion quests actually had good writing and voice acting but damn was the side content dull in both. Dragon Age Inquisition felt like an mmo but single player. Bioware needs to take notes from larian studios and cd project red on how to do engaging side content. Most side quests in cd project games have great writing on their own and make it feel almost essential to get the most out of its main narrative as well. skipping side quests in cyberpunk, the Witcher and baldurs gate 3 locks you out of so many different outcomes and added context that the games narrative doesn’t even feel complete if you haven’t done all of the major side quests.
Recently finished Persona 5 Royal. It took me over 150 hours 😂…it was pretty LENGTHY. I can’t believe I am planning on playing the other 2 of the big 3 with the persona 3 remake now out. I’m not much of a gamer but I’m trying to get into it. I feel like a part of me died when I finished Persona 5.
I just bought Elden Ring and BG3 at the sand time because of the steam sale. I won’t need to buy another game for months because of how “lengthy” they are. Which game should I start with though?
Lengthy. I would say Elden Ring is the longest game I've ever finished. My first playtrhough was like 190 hours and then I put 100 hours into my first playthrough of the dlc. Not to mention 12+ playthroughs with different characters and like 2000 hours across the board. I'm a huge fan of the souls series and Elden Ring was the last one i played and probably my favorite. I've never put as many hours or enjoyed a game as much as Elden Ring. It's a true masterpiece to me.
Take a shot every time he says "long & big". The top 3 longest games I've ever beaten are Witcher 3 (148 hours total ), AC Odyssey (I actually really enjoyed it surprisingly) and Balder's Gate 3 ( 89 hours total )
AC Odyssey is my go to travel RPG, having vacayed in the Greek Islands many a time & elsewhere in the Mediterranean, the depiction of the Greek Islands & mainland Greece ie Corinth & Athens is stunning. Good RPG also, play as Canon character Kassandra, she has some great lines. Vocally. It’s downloaded onto my new PS5 & it will never be deleted. Great game, a departure from the AC series but a superb historical RPG.
As a father of 2 and full time job i dont have a lot of spare time to put into gaming so i only played a few games in the last 4,5 years .. but still menaged to put like 160 hours so far in elden ring ( currently playing dlc ofc ) and like 90 hours in dragon quest 11 . I love both of those .
I have no idea how you could beat BG3 in 60 hours on a first play through... It took me twice that long, and just about the same amount of time it took me to finish Persona 5 Royal. Thankfully, P3R is quite a bit shorter. I do the side quests in every RPG I play, but it "only" took me 80 hours in Reload.
Infinite wealth actually was very easy and short to complete for a yakuza game. Even yakuza 7 took longer. I would say its the shortest and easiest after yakuza 4 and 6. I clocked in at 117 hours with bonus stuff like all friends max rank that you dont even needed. But thank god they removed the rng grind in this game
Put over 160 hours into Elden ring followed the fightin cowboy plat guide only to get stuck on an optional boss and not want to finish it without getting the platinum so I just gave up haha
The game I spent the most time at was Fallout 3 with over 100 hours. I have the platnium in Elden RIng and Dark Souls 3 and they took less time. Lengthy!
Lengthy. I've sunk a loooot of time into red dead one re-release and red dead two...way more than I even care to admit. I completed a bunch of the old final fantasy games on ps1- I think 9 took the longest. Right now, I'm playing Rise of the Ronin- and it's honestly the most fun I've had with a game in years. I get why it gets hate- the beginning in slow and awkward, and the out of the box graphic settings make it look ugly. That said, if you tweak it to prioritize graphics, set the frame rate, and remove the stupid "film grain" and other "cinematic camera effects", it looks and runs great. Do that, and actually take the time to learn one of the 30 some weapon techniques, and it's a blast.
If you count all Final Fantasy 14 expansions as one long game, it takes about 200 hours just to beat the main story. Each expansion is a on its own a 30+ hour jrpg so add them together and you'll get the longest game I've ever beaten!
I don’t mind the 100 hr rpg those are my favs bg3 , cyberpunk , Witcher , persona 5 , the trails series love those types of games great replay value packed with meaningful content couldn’t ask for more with games like these .
My longest game is xenoblade 3. With the base game n dlc over 200 hours. If i didnt max out my levels n skills i would of did even more. I love that game n i hope you get around to beat it.
Not counting MMOs,Roguelikes or endless games the ones I can think of are the Elder Scrolls games like Oblivion and Skyrim for like 200+ hours,Elden Ring was like 160+ for me,Tears Of The Kingdom was almost 300+ hours for me with 40 of those being spent on vehicle creation. Alot of the JRPGs I completed are in the 40-60 hours range my recent playthrough of FF7 years ago was like maybe 67 hours I think.I have played alot of RPGS but I dont think I can remember all the playtimes for each one so 40-60 is a good estimate. I havent finished Baldurs Gate 3 yet so I dont know where that falls yet,but other then those games I dont tend to play alot of long games since I stick to action adventure mostly and I hate open world games other then a select few.
Exploring in Elden Ring is fun but not as rewarding. 90% of the stuff I found in side quests or some corner of the maps are just not useful at all. Be it weapons or armors or spells or some weird stuff, they're usually not an upgrade to things you already have. I end up using my early weapon and armor to beat the final boss. That said, it still worth it to explore everything, because this game is so well made and beautiful and the story itself is cool enough.
The longest games, I‘ve finished (without Multiplayer-Games) are: - Elden Ring 130h (finished 2,5 times) - Persona 5 Royal 64h - Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth 59h - Cyberpunk 2077 56h (played 2 times) - Yakuza Like a Dragon 50h - Lies of P 41h (played 2 times) - Lost Judgment 40h - Sekiro 39h - Persona 3 Reload 37h
How did you finish P5R and P3R so quickly? I can only imagine it wasn't your first time playing them or and you skipped all the dialogue and did none of the extra stuff like Elizabeth's quests in P3R and barely any mementos requests in P5R.
@@rikudoubapeck I speedran mementos in P5R to the bottom and the dungeon in P3R to the top. They were not fun enough for me and pretty much time waster
@@ilm91and it was your first play through? Did you use the dlc persona? Also how many social links did you do? Did you skip story and social link dialogues?
@@rikudoubapeck Yes first playthrough on both. I don‘t know about DLC Personas, I finished many but not all social links. I skipped only dialogues of the characters I don‘t like personally like Bebe 🙄
Persona 5 takes the cake for me. I finished with 110 hours. The final stretch of the game was almost nerve-breaking with rhw amount of consecutive battles with me holding for my life, little to no health itens with the fear of losing two/ three hours of progress. No way I could do this today lol
Lengthy! The elden ring is the longest one I have by a landslide. The game took me 120 hours to complete in the first try. I also completed most of the side quests.
Lengthy! Longest game I have finished is AC Odyssey. I did all the trophies for both main game and the DLCs though. I still believe it's very underrated because everyone always slanders it because it has AC in the title. If it was any other game it would be better received.
My recent games I play over 100 hours. Breath of the wild, tears of the kingdom, dragon quest 11, xenoblade 2 n 3, n the beloved like a dragon infinite wealth. Great games that i highly enjoyed my time with, never got burned out.
Usually when There's a differennce in playtime for 2 different versions (original & remake) of the same game it's because of QOL and faster loading times cut down a lot from the original time. Also because people already know how the game plays they're usually quicker to beat it and already know the better builds to play or how to solve certain puzzles. It's still the same exact game but with a few tweaks and pre knowledge of the game and it's mechanics you'd be amazed how many hours you can shave off the run time of a game.
As a kid, the first 3 gens of Pokemon were very LENGTHY at 100+ hrs. But persona for sure is the longest as an adult. I don't recall my playtime for the Fire Emblem games but they always felt real long when you worked on maxing out every support for the characters.
Here's my top ten, with me 100%'ing each: 10. Fantasy Life (~75) 9. Final Fantasy XIII (~80) 8. Final Fantasy XII (~85) 7. Final Fantasy X (~90) 6. Final Fantasy XV (~95) 5. Tales of Vesperia (~100) 4. Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom (~110) 3. Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch (~115) 2. Tears of the Kingdom (~125) 1. Breath of the Wild (~140) P.S. - lengthy
Off the top of my head without real hour counts, I’m pretty sure my list would look like: Oblivion & DLC - came out perfect time in my life and grinded out damn near everything there is to do over a summer between freshman and sophomore years of HS. The others in no particular order (the usual culprits): Witcher 3, BoTW, ToTK, Elden Ring, Fallout 3 Overall as a dude in my early 30s, I find myself extremely hesitant to pick up any game where “length” is the sell. Give me a tightly packed 20-30 hour experience almost always now. As a lifelong Zelda fan, both BoTW and ToTK had me burnt out at the end. Elden Ring did manage to keep me engaged all the way through though despite preferring Fromsoft’s more tightly focused games.
Legthy! The longest game I played in my life has to be Pokemon Platin for the Nintendo DS, spent nearly 2k hours in it having every Pokemon, every Pokemon on lvl 100 etc. The 2nd most played i still play with 850h has to be Monster Hunter World + Monster Hunter World Iceborne
The longest game that took me to the credits is RDR2, but for 100%? I 100% Mario Odyssey. I do not regret it. Most fire game of that year (to me anyway). For ANYONE else I would not recommend collecting every moon but I really loved it so much and that was something I wanted to do. Truly my greatest gaming achievement. Finishing the Jump Rope Challenge was much, MUCH harder than the Darker Side. Once a sequel comes out, I'll 100% that too.
Think I have on record akibas beat - 101 hours mainly because it was that monotonous a journey to platinum I was caught sleeping a few times by my wife 😂 I had to persevere though! Wanted it off my back log. "Lengthy" ass game do not recommend 😅 ALSO great vid & new sub ❤
Rather than saying that's the problem (also a funny exaggeration 😭)I'd say that, what you said there is much the core of it in which I loved personally.
@@shinobly I feel elements of it was interesting as a lot of the story when going through the arcs did related to finding members of the order which helps. The missions related to finding Fulke and Sigurd mattered a lot to the grander story involving the Isu and the generally assassin's creed narrative and felt that could have been thrown in a lot more. The weight of that narrative and what the story was trying to convey about the sage project came too late and the Havi segments were confusing. It took a video to explain that Juno, Minerva and Jupiter were Jotuns and that coukd have been done more obviously.
@@shinobly also the location just made it hard for me to enjoy all that. I do wish they stuck with scandanavia rather than the premise of england as a means to play as a viking invading the country. I just imagine what they could have done with that setting.
Great video. How did you mainline Valhalla without being super weak? I had an issue with those games where I had to grind to even do a fraction of damage to normal enemies, regularly. Valhalla seems to be worse with this but not sure I played that one. I went through Odyssey and had enough with the grinding menial tasks bullshit. Dragons Quest 11 the complete edition, or whatever its called took me around 40-45 hours but I mostly mainlined it. I got the ending credits after 2 acts I believe, so I dont know if that was the full game. My longest documented completions, out of over 3,000 games beaten, would probably be Persona 5, which took me around 125-140 hours of running time. Im not sure if those menus include breaks and leaving the pause menu on, but I generally dont leave games on for long periods if Im not playing. Sekiro would be the next one at 110-120 hours. The combat mechanics NEVER clicked for me so I stubbornly bullshitted my way through the entire game by checking out Boss Cheese videos and shit like that. Still might be the hardest game Ive completed on Default difficulty, or atleast at the top. Despite being competent at hack n slash games, reaching over 40 million in Ninja Gaiden Black's mission mode, I could never get the controls and flow of combat down in that game. Im sure I was missing something. I had over 600 hours of running time on the mission mode alone and closer to 1000 on NG and the remakes of NG 1 (Sigma,Black), but mentioning only default difficulty games, not extra challenges or extreme modes. Though I dont think I ever spent 100 hours trying to beat any extreme modes in a game. God Hand took around 40 hours on Hard Mode, which was long for a game with 4 hours of gameplay. I feel like I spent over 100 hours on Dark Wizard for the Sega CD back in ancient times, but never had recording capabilities. Some of these games I had to go by the game clock which varies in accuracy too. Another very long one was one of the Souls games which took over 80 hours. I remember Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 3 taking very long too, but I dont think quite 80 hours. Elden Ring clocked in at 77 hours on the in-game clock. That was just to beat it normally. I do side shit when Im compelled to. Mainly to level up. I go through a high volume of games with the main goal to complete a game. MGS 5 was an awesome experience despite all the recycled content and unfinished feel. I still have alot of nostalgia for the feel and vibe, and the enjoyment I got out of the game world. I didnt have recording capabilities back in 2015, and not sure if the game had an internal clock. It took me around 53 hours 28 minutes for Infinite Wealth. I did some side dungeons to power up and beat some of the arcade games but didnt do tons of side shit. Still gotta finish my persona 4 gold save on PSTV. Still have to try out the latest Baldur's Gate and Armored Core 6.
Yeah I spend most of my life on video games too! No shame in that right ? Anyway I don't know exactly how long each of those games are but I can give you how much time I personally put into them. 1. Fallout 4 : 400 hours 2. Skyrim : 330 hours 3. Elden Ring : 220 hours 4. Borderlands 3 : 180 hours 5. Starfield : 160 hours 6. Dark Souls 2 : 160 hours 7. Metal Gear Solid 5 : 155 hours 8. Dark souls 3 : 155 hours 9. XCOM 2 : 130 hours 10. GTA 5 : 130 hours I played both LOL and WOW for thousands of hours when I was younger.
Dude Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is a got damn masterpiece imo. I hated 2 with the fan service anime titties but dude finish 3. Also Persona 4 golden is really got damn long, you ain’t lying bout them games lol .
I’m hella slow at “lengthy” games compared to this dude! 😂 Witcher 3, 330 hours with both DLC and most of side content but no Plat, Elden Ring took me like 130 to do the platinum but just 1 play through save scummed the endings, I have like 230 hours now with additional playthrus, prob like 150 into Persona 5 have 200 plus in most FromSoft Games but that is with multiple playthroughs for the plats.
This video was semi “lengthy” 😂 Good choices I’m still working through Witcher 3 and Persona 5. I guess I’m just slower than most though.. Witcher I’m at like 180 hrs and pretty sure with Persona I’m at like 170 ish. Are you still a fan of shorter games too Jonathan? 😊
Played ? Who knows. But to finish? I'd say elden ring. I did EVERYTHING in a single playthrough. Literally the only achievements I need are to get 2 different game ends. It took me 135 hours but im like 99 percent sure I beat every boss and did every dungeon. Edit: now thinking about it I have 450 hours in Digimon Cyber Sleuth. But only because I would leave my pc on. The longer you waited the stronger your Digimon would become when they digivolve. So I don't know if I should count that but it at least deserves a mention Oh and "lengthy"
Metal gear solid V was so good. Its the best spy and metal gear game ever imo. Still very underrated. One of the greatest games ever. Finished it twice.
@@tydendurler9574 No I was even older than your father. Let me guess you never finished the game? The game was amazing with its open world. Mgs 2 just aged really hard. Stop with that annoying nostalgia disease. Hoe does it have so many issues?
@@tydendurler9574 I don't care about the multiple bullshit and on top of that are you really gonna compare a old aged game with a 2015 game? Thats literally no comparison dude. Thats like comparing a iphone 5 with a 10.
@@tydendurler9574 It was a typing error. Dude learn to talk normal whats your problem? Why are you so triggered about a opinion. You are making yourself look very stupid if you think that mgs v doesn't have that much of hours in gameplay.
I like your videos but i kinda wish you wouldn't spend so much time dragging on and on in the intro and each of the entries. The segments could be trimmed down and edited way more tightly.
So why did I spend a lot of time on a game. I will use fallout 4 as an example. First It's a big open world so there's a lot to find.There were a lot of dlcs, 4 of which added extra length. A lot of side activities like looting, crafting, modding, building etc. Many ports, I played on PS4 vanilla, PC with mods and PS5 next gen. Multiple playthroughs for whatever reasons. Playing on high difficulty sometimes you need to grind. Achievements of course.
Just finished rdr2 single player with 100 hours and platinumed ac odyssey, But uninstall ac valhalla after 12 hours. The problem is not the length, its the boring tedious game itself that brings no joy to the player. Ac valhalla is the best example. Boring game stretched out 60 hours too much and for no return, no feeling of completion. Long games need this thing, otherwise they feel bloated for the sake of making people play it, like gacha games or d4, or ow2 does it with fomo. That's why all these companies do battle passes, plus dlc, plus paid extra content. Because they know their game is just there for people to waste time with no return or accomplishments.
Its the other way around, it was mid at most part And if they only compressed the map and the contents with such harmony، it will be a cool and fun game.
@macgmol159 Whether you think the game is bad, avg, good or great is simply subjective. Valhalla has an 80 on metacritic if we want to go off that. I think the game is solid/good and enjoyed my time with it.
I applaud anyone who had the mental fortitude to complete the entirety of AC Valhalla, i tried multiple times and never even got close. It's a 40 hour game dragged out to 200+ hours of content.
I dont applaud because completing crap games is not an achievement
I platinumed Valhalla and enjoyed it.
@@johnnyjets2343 I clocked 104 hours in Valhalla and enjoyed it as well. It's a stretched out game but not bad by any means

Same I loved it and it actually got me back into turned based RPGs after a decade but man it feels like a grind towards the end.
Congratulations I been playing it myself
Yeah I was so burnt out by the end of it. I played 4 golden, 3 reload, and 5 royal, and tbh 5 royal was my least favorite out of the 3
5R was more like an episodic story, which is why I think its weak. Each boss is its own seperate arc and story.

- It will most likely be HARD. FromSoft always up the ante with their DLCs, and IMO Elden Ring is already their hardest game by far. Most of us will probably spend a LOT of hours butting heads with Messmer and his buddies.
- It will likely have a lot of replay value because of the new loot and build possibilities, and by extension make the entire game more exciting so revisit.
All in all I think it's safe to say there will be a lot of hours to enjoy. Can't believe we're only 3 weeks away!!
Wtf , ds1 took me 20 hours for my first time ,elden took me 50
It’s worth doing the side content in the Trails. A lot of the sidequests flesh out the world even more and develop characters. It’s especially cool in the later games where sidequests might have a returning character or two.
It's worth doing like idk, 3 of them in every game. The remaining 97 are just time wasters.
I do everything when i play, i go out of my way to talk to every npc
Red Dead Redemption 2 if you’re just casually going through it was a journey as well

As a father of 2 and full time job i dont have a lot of spare time to put into gaming so i only played a few games in the last 4,5 years .. but still menaged to put like 160 hours so far in elden ring ( currently playing dlc ofc ) and like 90 hours in dragon quest 11 . I love both of those .
First playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3 clocked in around 120 hours.
I have no idea how you could beat BG3 in 60 hours on a first play through...
It took me twice that long, and just about the same amount of time it took me to finish Persona 5 Royal.
Thankfully, P3R is quite a bit shorter. I do the side quests in every RPG I play, but it "only" took me 80 hours in Reload.
Curious, why you calling it Baldurs Taint? (Havent played it so maybe why)
I was thinking the exact same 😂
I've heard there's a lot of degenerate shit in it.
Had to congratulate you on the momentous dub of completing Infinite Wealth bossman
Infinite wealth actually was very easy and short to complete for a yakuza game. Even yakuza 7 took longer. I would say its the shortest and easiest after yakuza 4 and 6. I clocked in at 117 hours with bonus stuff like all friends max rank that you dont even needed. But thank god they removed the rng grind in this game
Put over 160 hours into Elden ring followed the fightin cowboy plat guide only to get stuck on an optional boss and not want to finish it without getting the platinum so I just gave up haha
What boss?
The game I spent the most time at was Fallout 3 with over 100 hours. I have the platnium in Elden RIng and Dark Souls 3 and they took less time. Lengthy!
I’ve beaten Persona 4, Golden, 5, and Royal. Currently at the end of Reload. Also though not Persona FF VII Rebirth could also be considered LENGTHY
Lengthy. I've sunk a loooot of time into red dead one re-release and red dead two...way more than I even care to admit. I completed a bunch of the old final fantasy games on ps1- I think 9 took the longest. Right now, I'm playing Rise of the Ronin- and it's honestly the most fun I've had with a game in years. I get why it gets hate- the beginning in slow and awkward, and the out of the box graphic settings make it look ugly. That said, if you tweak it to prioritize graphics, set the frame rate, and remove the stupid "film grain" and other "cinematic camera effects", it looks and runs great. Do that, and actually take the time to learn one of the 30 some weapon techniques, and it's a blast.
If you count all Final Fantasy 14 expansions as one long game, it takes about 200 hours just to beat the main story. Each expansion is a on its own a 30+ hour jrpg so add them together and you'll get the longest game I've ever beaten!
Currently 110hrs into FF7 rebirth. I swear at times it felt like the game never wanted to end
My longest game was probably rdr2 with 150 hours in the first playthrough. My second took about 80
I don’t mind the 100 hr rpg those are my favs bg3 , cyberpunk , Witcher , persona 5 , the trails series love those types of games great replay value packed with meaningful content couldn’t ask for more with games like these .
My longest game is xenoblade 3. With the base game n dlc over 200 hours. If i didnt max out my levels n skills i would of did even more. I love that game n i hope you get around to beat it.
My favourite game, what a masterpiece
@cursman1289 such a amazing game. I cant wait for monolith soft new game
@@michaelmacorso4479 yeah, they’ve says that this xenoblade trilogy is over so it may be some other universe or new ip or something
@cursman1289 it might be but who knows
Not counting MMOs,Roguelikes or endless games the ones I can think of are the Elder Scrolls games like Oblivion and Skyrim for like 200+ hours,Elden Ring was like 160+ for me,Tears Of The Kingdom was almost 300+ hours for me with 40 of those being spent on vehicle creation.
Alot of the JRPGs I completed are in the 40-60 hours range my recent playthrough of FF7 years ago was like maybe 67 hours I think.I have played alot of RPGS but I dont think I can remember all the playtimes for each one so 40-60 is a good estimate.
I havent finished Baldurs Gate 3 yet so I dont know where that falls yet,but other then those games I dont tend to play alot of long games since I stick to action adventure mostly and I hate open world games other then a select few.
Longest game I finished/ platinum, no dlc or anything extra. Elder Scrolls Online 654 hours give or take. Quite damn Lengthy.
Exploring in Elden Ring is fun but not as rewarding. 90% of the stuff I found in side quests or some corner of the maps are just not useful at all. Be it weapons or armors or spells or some weird stuff, they're usually not an upgrade to things you already have. I end up using my early weapon and armor to beat the final boss. That said, it still worth it to explore everything, because this game is so well made and beautiful and the story itself is cool enough.
Yeah the 500 Bosses, where only 13 are unique, are so well designed.
And the imbalanced and at times pointless open world was sooo great too.
😒
The longest games, I‘ve finished (without Multiplayer-Games) are:
- Elden Ring 130h (finished 2,5 times)
- Persona 5 Royal 64h
- Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth 59h
- Cyberpunk 2077 56h (played 2 times)
- Yakuza Like a Dragon 50h
- Lies of P 41h (played 2 times)
- Lost Judgment 40h
- Sekiro 39h
- Persona 3 Reload 37h
How did you finish P5R and P3R so quickly? I can only imagine it wasn't your first time playing them or and you skipped all the dialogue and did none of the extra stuff like Elizabeth's quests in P3R and barely any mementos requests in P5R.
@@rikudoubapeck I speedran mementos in P5R to the bottom and the dungeon in P3R to the top. They were not fun enough for me and pretty much time waster
@@ilm91and it was your first play through? Did you use the dlc persona? Also how many social links did you do? Did you skip story and social link dialogues?
@@rikudoubapeck Yes first playthrough on both. I don‘t know about DLC Personas, I finished many but not all social links. I skipped only dialogues of the characters I don‘t like personally like Bebe 🙄
I think umineko is the longest for me but that’s a visual novel and was like 150 hours
Lengthy! I think the longest games I finished both took me 105 hours-Persona 5 Royal and Tears of the Kingdom.
Persona 5 takes the cake for me. I finished with 110 hours. The final stretch of the game was almost nerve-breaking with rhw amount of consecutive battles with me holding for my life, little to no health itens with the fear of losing two/ three hours of progress. No way I could do this today lol
Lengthy! The elden ring is the longest one I have by a landslide. The game took me 120 hours to complete in the first try. I also completed most of the side quests.
P5R platinum run was long, but worth it. I spread it out over months so it wasn’t miserable.
Lengthy! Longest game I have finished is AC Odyssey. I did all the trophies for both main game and the DLCs though. I still believe it's very underrated because everyone always slanders it because it has AC in the title. If it was any other game it would be better received.
My recent games I play over 100 hours. Breath of the wild, tears of the kingdom, dragon quest 11, xenoblade 2 n 3, n the beloved like a dragon infinite wealth. Great games that i highly enjoyed my time with, never got burned out.
Usually when There's a differennce in playtime for 2 different versions (original & remake) of the same game it's because of QOL and faster loading times cut down a lot from the original time.
Also because people already know how the game plays they're usually quicker to beat it and already know the better builds to play or how to solve certain puzzles. It's still the same exact game but with a few tweaks and pre knowledge of the game and it's mechanics you'd be amazed how many hours you can shave off the run time of a game.
As a kid, the first 3 gens of Pokemon were very LENGTHY at 100+ hrs. But persona for sure is the longest as an adult. I don't recall my playtime for the Fire Emblem games but they always felt real long when you worked on maxing out every support for the characters.
Check Dragon Quest XI S re-release, just to check the 2D mode
Here's my top ten, with me 100%'ing each:
10. Fantasy Life (~75)
9. Final Fantasy XIII (~80)
8. Final Fantasy XII (~85)
7. Final Fantasy X (~90)
6. Final Fantasy XV (~95)
5. Tales of Vesperia (~100)
4. Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom (~110)
3. Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch (~115)
2. Tears of the Kingdom (~125)
1. Breath of the Wild (~140)
P.S. - lengthy
Honorable mentions: FF7 Remake, Octopath Traveler II, Blue Dragon, Dragon Quest XI, Dragon Quest VI, Tales of Symphonia
Why you put finial fantasy 7 rebirth in the title if you diddnt talk about it
Off the top of my head without real hour counts, I’m pretty sure my list would look like:
Oblivion & DLC - came out perfect time in my life and grinded out damn near everything there is to do over a summer between freshman and sophomore years of HS.
The others in no particular order (the usual culprits): Witcher 3, BoTW, ToTK, Elden Ring, Fallout 3
Overall as a dude in my early 30s, I find myself extremely hesitant to pick up any game where “length” is the sell. Give me a tightly packed 20-30 hour experience almost always now. As a lifelong Zelda fan, both BoTW and ToTK had me burnt out at the end. Elden Ring did manage to keep me engaged all the way through though despite preferring Fromsoft’s more tightly focused games.
Legthy! The longest game I played in my life has to be Pokemon Platin for the Nintendo DS, spent nearly 2k hours in it having every Pokemon, every Pokemon on lvl 100 etc. The 2nd most played i still play with 850h has to be Monster Hunter World + Monster Hunter World Iceborne
The longest game that took me to the credits is RDR2, but for 100%? I 100% Mario Odyssey. I do not regret it. Most fire game of that year (to me anyway). For ANYONE else I would not recommend collecting every moon but I really loved it so much and that was something I wanted to do. Truly my greatest gaming achievement. Finishing the Jump Rope Challenge was much, MUCH harder than the Darker Side. Once a sequel comes out, I'll 100% that too.
Took me 5 years to beat og persona 5 lol
Think I have on record akibas beat - 101 hours mainly because it was that monotonous a journey to platinum I was caught sleeping a few times by my wife 😂 I had to persevere though! Wanted it off my back log. "Lengthy" ass game do not recommend 😅 ALSO great vid & new sub ❤
All three persons games are masterpieces.
All 3?

@@SmirnoffStalker I haven’t played 1 or 2 or any of the spin off games.
@@Jazzy-pn7voPlay Persona 5 Strikers its really good and acts as a Sequel to Persona 5
I couldnt even get halfway through Valhalla LMAO!
Worth every hours I've put into trails series
Agree with the issues with valhalla. 95% of the game was just playing village politics.
Rather than saying that's the problem (also a funny exaggeration 😭)I'd say that, what you said there is much the core of it in which I loved personally.
@@shinobly I feel elements of it was interesting as a lot of the story when going through the arcs did related to finding members of the order which helps. The missions related to finding Fulke and Sigurd mattered a lot to the grander story involving the Isu and the generally assassin's creed narrative and felt that could have been thrown in a lot more. The weight of that narrative and what the story was trying to convey about the sage project came too late and the Havi segments were confusing. It took a video to explain that Juno, Minerva and Jupiter were Jotuns and that coukd have been done more obviously.
@@shinobly also the location just made it hard for me to enjoy all that. I do wish they stuck with scandanavia rather than the premise of england as a means to play as a viking invading the country. I just imagine what they could have done with that setting.
Longest game's I have played so far are AC Origins at 60hrs for 100% and RDR2 at 50hrs for the story and some of the side quests
Great video. How did you mainline Valhalla without being super weak? I had an issue with those games where I had to grind to even do a fraction of damage to normal enemies, regularly. Valhalla seems to be worse with this but not sure I played that one. I went through Odyssey and had enough with the grinding menial tasks bullshit.
Dragons Quest 11 the complete edition, or whatever its called took me around 40-45 hours but I mostly mainlined it. I got the ending credits after 2 acts I believe, so I dont know if that was the full game.
My longest documented completions, out of over 3,000 games beaten, would probably be Persona 5, which took me around 125-140 hours of running time. Im not sure if those menus include breaks and leaving the pause menu on, but I generally dont leave games on for long periods if Im not playing.
Sekiro would be the next one at 110-120 hours. The combat mechanics NEVER clicked for me so I stubbornly bullshitted my way through the entire game by checking out Boss Cheese videos and shit like that. Still might be the hardest game Ive completed on Default difficulty, or atleast at the top. Despite being competent at hack n slash games, reaching over 40 million in Ninja Gaiden Black's mission mode, I could never get the controls and flow of combat down in that game. Im sure I was missing something. I had over 600 hours of running time on the mission mode alone and closer to 1000 on NG and the remakes of NG 1 (Sigma,Black), but mentioning only default difficulty games, not extra challenges or extreme modes. Though I dont think I ever spent 100 hours trying to beat any extreme modes in a game. God Hand took around 40 hours on Hard Mode, which was long for a game with 4 hours of gameplay.
I feel like I spent over 100 hours on Dark Wizard for the Sega CD back in ancient times, but never had recording capabilities. Some of these games I had to go by the game clock which varies in accuracy too.
Another very long one was one of the Souls games which took over 80 hours. I remember Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 3 taking very long too, but I dont think quite 80 hours. Elden Ring clocked in at 77 hours on the in-game clock. That was just to beat it normally. I do side shit when Im compelled to. Mainly to level up. I go through a high volume of games with the main goal to complete a game.
MGS 5 was an awesome experience despite all the recycled content and unfinished feel. I still have alot of nostalgia for the feel and vibe, and the enjoyment I got out of the game world. I didnt have recording capabilities back in 2015, and not sure if the game had an internal clock.
It took me around 53 hours 28 minutes for Infinite Wealth. I did some side dungeons to power up and beat some of the arcade games but didnt do tons of side shit.
Still gotta finish my persona 4 gold save on PSTV. Still have to try out the latest Baldur's Gate and Armored Core 6.
yup that was LENGTHY video
Yeah I spend most of my life on video games too! No shame in that right ? Anyway I don't know exactly how long each of those games are but I can give you how much time I personally put into them.
1. Fallout 4 : 400 hours
2. Skyrim : 330 hours
3. Elden Ring : 220 hours
4. Borderlands 3 : 180 hours
5. Starfield : 160 hours
6. Dark Souls 2 : 160 hours
7. Metal Gear Solid 5 : 155 hours
8. Dark souls 3 : 155 hours
9. XCOM 2 : 130 hours
10. GTA 5 : 130 hours
I played both LOL and WOW for thousands of hours when I was younger.
Persona 5 Royal is so lengthy. It's my most-played game. Took me close to 125 hours on my first playthrough and loved ever fuckin minute!
Cold steel 3 took me 110 hours for 1 play through but damn was it amazing.
Lengthy. Bitrate seems so low in this video. How did you record the footage
hmmm, didnt do anything different from what I normally do. Not totally sure why the bitrate kind of sucks for certain games.
@@TotallyTubularJonathan like i said, you talked a tad bit too long.
Dude Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is a got damn masterpiece imo. I hated 2 with the fan service anime titties but dude finish 3. Also Persona 4 golden is really got damn long, you ain’t lying bout them games lol .
I’m hella slow at “lengthy” games compared to this dude! 😂 Witcher 3, 330 hours with both DLC and most of side content but no Plat, Elden Ring took me like 130 to do the platinum but just 1 play through save scummed the endings, I have like 230 hours now with additional playthrus, prob like 150 into Persona 5 have 200 plus in most FromSoft Games but that is with multiple playthroughs for the plats.
This video was semi “lengthy” 😂 Good choices I’m still working through Witcher 3 and Persona 5. I guess I’m just slower than most though.. Witcher I’m at like 180 hrs and pretty sure with Persona I’m at like 170 ish. Are you still a fan of shorter games too Jonathan? 😊
See?
Played ? Who knows. But to finish? I'd say elden ring. I did EVERYTHING in a single playthrough. Literally the only achievements I need are to get 2 different game ends. It took me 135 hours but im like 99 percent sure I beat every boss and did every dungeon.
Edit: now thinking about it I have 450 hours in Digimon Cyber Sleuth. But only because I would leave my pc on. The longer you waited the stronger your Digimon would become when they digivolve. So I don't know if I should count that but it at least deserves a mention
Oh and "lengthy"
Lengthy 😈
I only played BOTW a year befoe TOTK, since its release I have only done two temples its just SO long doing it back to back
Does instant gaming support PS5 games or console games in general?
Yes they do! They have pages for console gaming. But a majority is pc focused
I AM LENGTHY
P5R put my relationship to the test.
I love the witcher 3
am i having a stroke or did bro just call and label bg3 as "baldur's taint 3"
Witcher 3 took me a month to complete back then.
Bro Skyrim took me 234 hours too be fair I explored every aspect
Metal gear solid V was so good. Its the best spy and metal gear game ever imo. Still very underrated. One of the greatest games ever. Finished it twice.

Zelda botw is the longest game I played, got like 300 hours
Just finished playing Dragon quest 6 took me 65 hours.
I think it took me 200 hours to Platinum P5R.
It's so sad we never got Red Dead Redemption 2 DLC, otherwise it would've made the list!
Please rank the sly cooper games thanks
are these rankings by length or quality of the games
Baldurs Taint? lol
So why did I spend a lot of time on a game. I will use fallout 4 as an example. First It's a big open world so there's a lot to find.There were a lot of dlcs, 4 of which added extra length. A lot of side activities like looting, crafting, modding, building etc. Many ports, I played on PS4 vanilla, PC with mods and PS5 next gen. Multiple playthroughs for whatever reasons. Playing on high difficulty sometimes you need to grind. Achievements of course.
Just finished rdr2 single player with 100 hours and platinumed ac odyssey, But uninstall ac valhalla after 12 hours. The problem is not the length, its the boring tedious game itself that brings no joy to the player. Ac valhalla is the best example. Boring game stretched out 60 hours too much and for no return, no feeling of completion. Long games need this thing, otherwise they feel bloated for the sake of making people play it, like gacha games or d4, or ow2 does it with fomo. That's why all these companies do battle passes, plus dlc, plus paid extra content. Because they know their game is just there for people to waste time with no return or accomplishments.
Xeno blade3 300 hour...all side mission dlc..and i still not max all classes
Lengthy, FarmVille is the longest game I ever player 😂
I am making BEST No Damage Videos Each Mission wise in Valhalla.It's an Amazing Game.
where is zelda ?
No one believe me But I swear I obtained the platinum in Elden Ring at 75 hours.
It took me 70+ hour to finish dragon quest 6
Persona 5 Royal - 160h for me
FF7 Rebirth is very long
Crazy how red dead 2 clears all
Baldurs taint? Dont get it.

Ff14 by far!!
Persona no 1 lol doing same sh*tss talking npc talking team talking demons. Lol
I disagree ac vahalla for the most part is amazing I have no idea what he is talking about 😂
Yeah, I enjoyed it. I platinumed it as well. People like to bitch to much about every Ubisoft game these days. Well most games these days lmao.
Its the other way around, it was mid at most part
And if they only compressed the map and the contents with such harmony، it will be a cool and fun game.
@@macgmol159 it wasn't mid
@tyleroutland435 it was, and that's doesn't mean a bad game but it surely needs a lot of work to be good game
@macgmol159 Whether you think the game is bad, avg, good or great is simply subjective. Valhalla has an 80 on metacritic if we want to go off that. I think the game is solid/good and enjoyed my time with it.
Lengthy 😳😉
