Now that's hardcore.

As much as I really like RE4 and Twilight Princess, I can't fathom playing either game for more than 50 hours.

WOW man thats a lot, o look a ball of fire outside. Congrats?



TWRoO on 03 December 2007

you should know by the way this is my only system, i am quite sure i wouldn't have totted up that much with 2 or 3 of them (or more if you include handheld...which i also don't have)

Also i don't PC game much at all....that is basically all of my gaming in the last 10 months (i did have GTA3 in my laptop for a few hours...but it kept crashing so i quit)
Twilight Princess i should stress is not all my own playtime...about 40 hours was by my flatmate last year...though i was watching for the most part. RE4 is all me, but i hadn't got it for GC before so it was totally new, also from getting RE4 to recently getting Mario Galaxy, you will see on the table i bought absolutely no new games, (well three VC games)

@bark? TP took me just under 50 hours to finish the main quest for the first playthrough, and just over 70 for first 100%..... do you not finish the games you buy? or do you finish them fast, and only once.

RE4 i loved, so i played again and again...i think i am on my 6th playthrough for normal difficulty, plus 3/4 each for easy and hard...and 3 for seperate ways
I think the first time i did it (normal diff) i took about 25 hours (last one was 2 1/2 hours i think), plus 4 hours for SW....that's 29, then there is assignment ada (maybe an hour) and the mercenaries, which if you want to complete i would think at least 5 hours if youd never done it before.... all that time already, yet you get unlockables in second playthroughs (or after mercenaries) .....are you not bothered about trying the new stuff you get?

Sometime in late July I got bored and went through the Wii message board adding up the time I had spent on each game and channel and putting it into a spreadsheet. In the last few days I have done the same for July to the end of November, for a total of 10 months owning the Wii (bought February 6th 2007)

It has now in fact passed 1000 hours.
I have tabled it up for those of you who are incredibly bored to look at (those of you who are not bored could just comment how sad i am to have spent time doing this, or take a guess at whether you have played more/less than me)
For games i had not purchased yet I put a "-" for that month, and no time spent on it is obviously a "0" (Wii play I didn't buy until June, but my flatmate brought her brothers copy around for Feb/March)

I am intrigued to know what exactly the Wii is tracking when it states "other" on the "todays achievements" message, because it seems to be related to updating the Wii, except that i definately did not have 21 hours + spent updating, unless it was doing it in the background while gaming?
If you take out the "other" time then it doesn't quite add up to 1000 hours, but the Wii doesn't track any Gamecube games and i guess i spent at least 40 hours those.


That's pretty cool.

A friend and I started doing this back in 2004. Instead of just 1 console we tracked every time we played any game on any console in 30 min increments for retail games and 15 min on downloadable games.  We made an excel spread sheet every month and compared each others play tendicies.

If you're up to it, I suggest you do the same, you'll be amazed on how fast the hours rack up.

does anyone have any idea what the Wii means by "other"?...because like i said, it only seems to happen when i update (except the last update) but i doubt all the updates added together even make 30 minutes, yet I have 21 hours of "other"

"Others" means when the Wii is lazy and doesn't specify the game you play by name. I've seen it happen to me a a few times. It even said "Others" when I played hours of Super Mario Galaxy. I KNOW that ain't no "Others".

I think the system updates have something to do with those occassional gaffes. They tend to correct themselves later though and call the game you play by name.

Bet With routsounmanman: By the end of Q1 2008 Capcom WONT have announced a RE5 Wii Edition OR a new RE (classic gameplay) for the Wii (WON)

 

mr-money on 04 December 2007

Wow that is lame.



tabsina on 04 December 2007

I was under the impression that Others was for when you turned off the wii in the middle of a game or application, rather than returning to the wii menu first, because it doesn't know where to put it.. might be wrong
