Welcome to the sign-ups! Please reply here to let me know you’ll be participating in this month’s theme. Your comment should include the following information:
- the game you’ll be playing (title, Steam link)
- how much time you’ve spent in the game before starting the challenge
(preferably with a screenshot)(I realized I can just check your recently played games on the site to see if you’ve got 20 hours in the game! :D) - link to the game’s page on howlongtobeat.com and whether you’re going for Main, Main + Extras or Completionist with the corresponding time
- a link to your achievement page for the game (if applicable)
Rules + Guidelines
- Pick a game that takes at least 20 hours to beat according to HLTB.
- Unfinished games are fine, as long as you have at least 20 hours left in your game to the desired goal (ex. goal: 30 hours, played: 6 hours = yes! BUT goal: 22 hours, played: 3 hours = no!).
- If you don’t own such game, don’t like the one(s) you have or have completed all 20+ h games in your library, you can pick 2 games that together take at least 20 hours to complete (again, not counting already played/idled time).
- Please let me know when you’ve reached or even exceeded your goal by replying to the first comment.
- Idled time counts as played time, even if you have no achievements yet
- HLTB times can be off, it’s fine if you complete your game in under 20 hours (good job!)
- There may be a giveaway at the end of the month ;) (but there are no punishments or extra rewards for reaching/not reaching your goal)
- Never ending games are okay if you haven’t spent a significant amount in them yet and progress can be measured to some extent.
- If no/very few achievements are available or achievements aren’t linked to game progress, please take screenshots when you play and upload them as public to your Steam account (at the very least somewhere in the beginning and the end, to show your progress).
- I’ll add more as the questions roll in ;)
- That’s all I can think of for now.
- Enjoy! :D

Good luck! I wish I had that much time ^^
I am afraid I may fail but I will do my best!
I got a little bit lost in this thread (popular theme!). I am not sure what comment to reply to report my game completion. Hopefully this will work.
I have finished Mafia III (main story, all optional missions and two story DLCs). One of the story DLCs hasn’t been released yet so I will revisit the game when/if I get the final dlc but for now I consider it beaten.
Here are the final numbers (I didn’t idle it, pretty sure “main + extras” estimate only includes main game, not the dlcs so it took me some extra time):
| dk | Mafia III | 50 hours (+44.3) | Main + Extras: 30.5 hours | 67/85 (+58) |
I think am going to fail with Tales of Symphonia (this game is my kryptonite, I just can’t beat it D:< ) but still some time left so I will keep playing it.
Thanks, Nele!
Final update (sorry for spam).
1) Mafia’s final DLC came out a couple of days so I was able to play it. I am officially done with it now. Final numbers:
Hours played: 55 / Achievements: 77/85
2) Tales of Symphonia’s hours count stand at 42 hours now but there is still plenty of stuff left to do in this game. I will continue playing it next month.
added :)
Final tally for the challenge, couldn’t finish it, it’s just too long!
Formidolosus | Metal Gear Solid V: The phantom pain | 35 Hours | Main + Extras: 80 Hours | 17/42 40%
Well, that was a close call. When I read the new theme post I was thinking, “yeah. Nier will count :D”
And then I went to HLTB and saw that it is shorter than I thought :D It feels like I am at the very beginning of the game, anyway. I wanted to complete the Main Story and most of the side missions. So according to the numbers I have still at least 24 hours ahead of me. But I guess there are still more than 40 as I am playing it very slowly and the ingame clock says, I played for only 9 hours ;)
| Daerphen | NieR:Automata™ | 13.6 hours | Main + Extras: 37 hours | 6/47 |
added :)
:D Looks like I am making good progress. Already finished the main story and will continue to do all the remaining side missions and a few other endings. I decided to add another game to may signup. Game does not have any achievements, but usually I am doing some screenshots during playthroughs
| Daerphen | Watch_Dogs® 2 | 0h | Main + Extras: 30h | no achievements |

Nier is finished: Activity Post
I just got all my missing achievements in ETS2, and when I looked at my recently played list, I noticed that it took me 20+ hours to do that :D
And HLTB time is quite huge for the game, so I guess I accidently did another monthly theme game ;)

| Evilblacksheep | Far Cry 3 | 0h | Completionist: 37 Hours | None (Steam), 0/50 (Uplay) |
Okay then, added. Let me know when you’ve picked a game :)
I’ve picked, though I’ve read I might run into an issue of the game crashing over and over, in which case, will I be able to switch for another game? Also, I’ll try to find a way to screenshot the achievements on Uplay, as I’m not sure you have a way to see it. In case you can, here is my Uplay profile: Evilblacksheep, feel free to add me.
okay, added you on Uplay (yay, I have a Uplay friend now!) - I’m not sure I’ll remember to check the status, but we’ll see ^^
I’ll point it out when I finish the game don’t worry ;)
| TopDeer | Tales of Zestiria | 13.7 hours | Main + Extras: 55 Hours | 5/56 |
55 hours?! I’m so glad I didn’t choose this one for this month, only have 2 hours in it so far ^^
(also, added of course)
This comment was deleted over 7 years ago.
Copying Sheepy and putting down a placeholder. I’m not yet done with my Sale purchases so will decide what to play after the 5th :3
| Wolfedood | EARTHLOCK: Festival of Magic | 0h | Main + Extras: 20½ Hours | 11/25 |
added, let me know when you’ve picked your game :)
have you decided yet? ^^
Nope, playing Earthlock now which doesn’t meet the criteria I think(?) but I’m leaning towards Tales of Zestiria for the theme. Unless Earthlock counts so I’m picking that :P (all current playtime is in the past 2 days and 0 idled)
well, if it turns out to take more than 20 hours, you can submit that - HLTB says 20.5 for Main + Extras ;)
| Assassin | Target | Already hunted? | How long to kill? | Status | Done |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lucky Thirteen | Risen 2: Dark Waters | No | Main + Extras: 31½ Hours | 44/49 | ✔ |
| -//- | Risen 3: Titan Lords | No | Main Story: 25½ Hours | 45/50 | ✔ |
Update: First target eliminated with the total hunting time of ~58 hours! Changed the est. playtime for Risen 3 to Main Story only, since I realized I don’t own the DLCs.
Update #2: Second targed killed, with the hunting time of ~74 hours! Now just another (hopefully quick) playthrough for the rest of the achievs, I think I’ll try going for 100% :)
approved :) (and good luck, that’s a lot!)
Thank you! :)
Hey nelly, how should we go about updating our comments with info? Should I update the status (achievs) every once in a while or should I wait till I’ve beaten the game and then update it?
Commenting here is fine if progress is slow, but you can just wait until you’re done with either. I won’t update the post every day. Originally I was planning to go through the list myself every now and then, but with so many people participating that’s become impossible (or at least very time consuming).
Ok, I’ll update once I’ve finished the game :) Thanks :)
Wouldn’t want to be you when the month ends and you’ll have to go through all our entries and update the big chart in your original post by the way! Probably gonna be a pain in the back O.o
Beaten Risen 2 & updated my post! :)
Congrats! I updated mine :) (checkmarks, hm …)
Added for now, but looks like you only have 14 levels to go for the last achievement - I don’t know the game though, about how long does one level take? (I’m guessing you need more and more XP for each level?)
I honestly don’t know how much it usually takes, since I can’t find precisely how much XP I even have (it only shows up as a sort of progress bar).. It doesn’t feel like it’d actually take at least 20h, now that I think about it :/ But I’m planning to get that achievement anyway, so if it does take less, I’ll come back and choose something else, if that’s okay.
sure - you can choose a shorter game then, for example if you only need 6 hours to get the last achievement, you can pick a 14 hour game to fill up the rest of the challenge time ;)

| sappy.ma | Deus Ex: Mankind Divided | 12.7 h | Completionist: 43 h | 7/51 |
The game has a bunch of DLC that raises the achievement count to 81. I want to complete those, too. So… jeah…. I hope I’m able to, so that the verification easier. I’m also pretty sure that this game will take me much longer than just 43 hours…. oh well :P
added :)
I really enjoyed this game and I hope you will, too!
I am enjoying it - but it does come with some caveats. The combat is fun, but a little easy (except when it’s too hard!). The storyline is nice, but not exactly enthralling. The characters are lovely, but the conversations do go on a bit too long sometimes and so on. But I’ll definitely be playing it to the end and overall I think it’s a good game so far. Don’t think I’d have the stamina to get any of the later games though.
added :)
Thanks nellyneko. I’m not entirely certain what they mean by extras for this game, since there’s an awful lot that can be missed in a single play through, but I’m going to get as much as I can done!
I’m not entirely sure either, maybe different endings + dlcs, but not collecting all the things? (which is usually the grindiest part and can take up several extra hours => Completionist?)
My main aim will be to make sure I complete all the side quests (which are numerous and can be missed - I’ve lost 2-4 hours replaying sections because of that already). And I might well end up getting close to complete anyway.
from HLTB:
Main Story (Required)
You complete the main objectives, just enough to see the credits roll.
Main Story and Additional Quests/Medals/Unlockables
You take your time, discover and complete additional tasks not required.
Completionist (100%)
You strive for every achievement, every medal and conquer all that the game has to offer.
| Narayan | Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition | 9.3 h | Completionists or Main+Extras Leisure: 37-40h + DLCs YotS&NiNP (5-ish h total) | 9 of 59 (15%) |
added :) (I left out the extra DLC stuff in favor of a cleaner table, hope that’s okay - of course you should still play them if you’re enjoying the game :) )
That’s ok. :)
I didn’t know what to do with them in the table tbh, cause in game you access them separately from the menu, and they have their own achievements that affect total completion stats, still they are not considered part of the main game I think. I’m going to play them, cause I’m planning to go through as much content as possible, but like I mentioned, I’m not sure if I will be able to get 100% achievements.
I will focus on exhausting all the content, and at least for me achievements ≠ content. I am enjoying the game overall, very much even, but trying to 100% certain minigames I’m simply not good at, would just turn whole experience frustrating, and I don’t want that :) Open world games tend to be a mixed bag like that. They cram so much varied stuff in there, that in most cases it’s impossible to be good at everything, even though you enjoy like 90% of the other things ;)
added, and it’s fine if you go over - I picked Main + Extras for myself because Main would be less than 20 hours with my already played time, an Completionist is a lot for 1 month for me - but I’ll try to get 100% anyways.
| Bubblevixen | Two Worlds: Epic Edition | 0h | Completionist: 61.5h | [0/0] |
This is my first post here, so thanks for having me! I’ve picked a game that actually doesn’t have any acheivements, but I didn’t want to dive in and play the sencond one without playing the first one. I frequently upload screenshots to Steam of the games I play, I also have a page that I manage (with a tiny amount of people, mainly friends irl, who follow) to showcase what I play, so that an option to check as well as my steam profile :)
added :)
can you link me to your first screenshot when you have it? I’ll add a link to the main table then :)
Of course! :D It’s downloading at the minute, so as soon as its installed and I’m in game I’ll take a SS, and at multiple points in the game too :P Thanks for having me :)
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=961489246 thats the first screenshot I took today, I’m not sure how to make it with just a word for you to click though to access it, so I’ve just had to copy paste the link , sorry :(
This comment was deleted over 7 years ago.
added, but I’ve put you down as Main + Extras since otherwise it’d be less than 20 hours, since you already played more than 3 hours (idling counts). I didn’t specifically mention it (yet), but of course it’s fine if you can’t reach that goal within a month :)
Ok :)
I still only idled it for cards so my play will be from scratch but I understand your point.
I’ve already finished playing Legend of Grimrock 2. I decided to binge play it since I will be away from the computer for at least one week for family vacations :)
Here are my final stats:

added, but like someone else above, I’ve put you down as Main + Extras since otherwise it’d be less than 20 hours, since you already played more than a while (idling counts as well). I didn’t specifically mention it (yet), but of course it’s fine if you can’t reach that goal within a month :)
Ah, I was planning on starting over the game anyways since it’s been a while xP But that’s fine, I’ll shoot for the Extras :D
| Ninglor03 | Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag | [46 min] | Main + Extras: 40h 11min | [0/0] |
Haven’t started the game AT ALL, the 46 min are just trying to get it running on my old pc. It works on the new one, but I didn’t play it yet. So in fact it is untouched :)
added, don’t forget about those really difficult-to-take-screenshots ;)
I’m so stupidly worried right now, since the last time I played the game crashed for no reason at all. I somehow don’t dare open it hide
I’ll hunt down an icecream and give it a try. Will never now until I have a look, right? :D

I think it’s extremely unlikely I’ll be able to finish in July, but might as well list myself here, to document my failure. :p

Added, good luck! :)
Let me know when you have your first screenshot so I can link it in the main post :)
To be clear…what should the screenshot(s) show? Do you want a screenshot of me at the beginning of the game, or a screen that shows me with only 16 minutes of playtime (which is the case so far)? Or do you only want “progress” screenshots that show me 25%, 50%, etc. through the game?
If there are levels or percentages, sure. You can also use something from the intro, anything in between and the credits if you get that far. And/or you could do it like ninglor, with overlay showing the time
Although I can also see how much time you spent in the game in your recently played list, so it’s not necessary - just random shots at different times should be enough, to pretty much show you’re playing and not idling.
Yes, given that I never started the game before this month, and my recently played list will reflect that, I won’t upload a screenshot for that. But I will upload some screenshots as I go to show progress. I know there’s almost no way I’ll complete the main story this month (I tend to have to double HLTB times given my playstyle), but I’ll concentrate on this game with my non-kid playing time this month and see how it goes. :)
How is it going, dear Trent? ;)
Sadly, as you can see from my (lack of) playtime, I haven’t even started yet. :( I did, however, pick a clan to play. But I haven’t even generated my character yet. And we have company this weekend and are going out of town next Friday, so not much playtime for me. =(
Yeah, seen the thread and voted (for toreador) and after that I stalked had a look at your steam profile. Sry to hear, there is no time for playing so far :/
Kick them out and get some nice gaming done! :D
Nah, have lots of fun :)
Yeah, almost all of my game-playing so far this month has been with the kids. Which is fun, ofc, but it’s nice to play the other games too, like VtM:B!
I hope you’re having a nice weekend. :D
Yeah, no, it’s just not the same. I can imagine :D
Yeah, it’s alright. Nice sun and stuff :D
But I already feel the pre-wedding stress creeping up on me -.-
But great nonetheless!
A complete abject failure, I’m afraid. A total of 3.6 hours of non-kid gaming time this month, as you can see. I didn’t get too much farther than this screenshot after I created my character, lol.
I should have more time for “grown-up gaming” this month– so, too late for the monthly theme. But the theme did encourage me to start a long game (and SG win)– so thank you for the extra motivation! =)

Oooh, this might be the most ambitious one yet! But it’s okay if you can’t get 147 hours into it in 30 days (5 hours a day?!), just play what you can :)
| RomTaka | Batman Arkham Origins | 0.9 h | Main + Extras : 21.2 h | 1/60 |
The only Batman game I didn’t beat (also with BA Origins : Blackgate) : I just brushed the surface in one game session but this month seems perfect to end the task.
I’m a slow player and usually take more time to finish my games than what HLTB indicates, plus I have all the DLCs, so I’ll certainly spend more than 20 hrs on this one !
Well, I started Final Fantasy IX just before this, so I guess I’ll submit this:

I’m. Back \o/
I have played a great deal while I didn’t have an internet connection for like 5 days :(
So I have kinda just started chapter 3 but I am sure I will play longer than 20 hrs before I actually end the game.
In that time I also finished This War of Mine, but nothing got logged because of no internet connection :( So I need to redo that…
For the copy pasta

Welcome back, and too bad about the achievements - I thought you retroactively get achievements when you start up the game again? I had a few games where I played while online but didn’t get anything, and one or two restarts later I did get everything. Same with games where achievements are added later - at least the measurable ones are applied retroactivel when you start it up again.
Since The Witcher doesn’t have achievements, could you link me to your screenshots for it when you have them? Just a few will do, sometime in the beginning + end, middle if you feel like it. Thanks :)

| uguleley | Borderlands 2 | 6.6 h | Main story: 30½ Hours | 8/69 |
I already started playing this one yesterday before signing up here, so here are my stats as of now. I picked ‘main story’ as my HLTB target, but I’m planning to play some of the additional content along the way. It’s an ambitious target and I’m not sure at all if I’m going to beat the main story by the end of the month. I’m sure I’m going to have fun though, I’ve really enjoyed the first few hours so far :)
| MOAR kubikill | Fallout New Vegas - Ultimate Edition | 24.7 hours | Main + Extras: 85 hours | 17/75 |
added, good luck :)
I’m choosing the same as Top Deer: Tales of Zestiria. I have aready 74 hours into it. But I believe there will be come a significant number of more hours. I should at least be able to beat the game during July and maybe play the DLC too. If I manage to complete it I don’t know. Completion should take something around 140+ hours according to HLTB. Currently I am at 21/56 achievements.
You took the most complicated way to sign up, eh? Added XD
Because I didn’t prepare the chart? Sorry about that T_T But it was late and I was tired ….. OMG O.o completionist ist 185 hours. And I’m normally slower than that. I’m doubting right now that I will be able to complete it this month but I will give it my best.
Not just that, you wrote whole sentences for every bit of information ^^
And it’s fine if you don’t finish, just do what you can :)

This is perfect as my friends all got together and gifted me this game >_<
and I want to play stuff people give me.
added :)
hey I was wondering if I could change my entry to just main-I’m asking because I found out I’m not very good at this >_<
I’m on mission 8 out of 31 and its already taken me 17 hrs…basically just beating the main game (and a few of the side op’s) might take me 80hrs (instead of the 45 on HLTB) and I’m not that sure I can successfully complete it.
I’m going try my best but its looking more and more insurmountable.
either that or I just need to git gud and not do stuff like run around for an hour trying to find a place to hide a body.
That’s okay! And don’t sweat it if you can’t finish this month or end up giving up and abandoning the game, you gave it an honest try :)

Going for the 200 days survival achievement (One With Nature), starting from Day 1, I will probably manage to get the missing ones as well. The Completionist times are not given on HLTB so I put in the Main Story + Extras time. Until the story mode comes out I’ll be playing in my little snowbox :)

| ZephyrusRaine | Final Fantasy XIII | 5.7 hrs | Main + Extras: 62 Hours | 2/35 |
After several months of going on hiatus, I think I’m going to participate on this month’s theme. Been wanting to cut through my RPG backlog after playing quite a lot of action-oriented games on Steam. Going to go for Main Stories + Extras for this one as going Completionist on an RPG would potentially take too much time, will see how it goes nevertheless
One thing I’m going to ask, I used to have around 4 hours of idling time before actually playing the game. Can I ignore the idling time and input how long I actually played, or should I put whatever is on my profile right now?
I’m putting 5.7 hours for now though.
that’s fine - so far I’ve always counted idled time (it’s more about what your profile says than what you’ve actually done, since we can’t really see if you’ve idled or roamed around for 3 hours)
That’s true, I guess. Oh well, the most important part is the fact that the game itself is actually played rather than seeing how long the playtime is lol.

Picked this one since its right at 20 hour mark to count, it’s an SG win and still gives me enough time to complete the 4 games I won in playing appreciated this month. If I have enough time I will try to complete another game that’s around 20-30 hours.

Also, it might be a few minutes less than 20h to be left to play, but I’m usually pretty slow, so I think it’ll be around 21-24 hours :D
First time I’ve done the Monthly Theme since it began. Glad to finally find a challenge that suits me perfectly!!
Awesome, added you to the main post :)
May I ask what you didn’t like about the themes so far? Just the ideas or something more specific? (Or was it just that you had other games you’d rather play, this month one of them fits?)
I guess it was more the idea of:
1) Not having the themes be for the stuff that I play (example: HOG games)
2) The challenges never felt like actual challenges.
I’ll elaborate on the second point. This challenge felt like an actual challenge because you were given a task that can’t be done too easily. It really requires time and effort and you’re less constricted compared to the “Do-Over” or “Superhero” themes. With something that specific, you really need to be in the mood to enjoy the game to its fullest. Otherwise, your experience will be sub-par. If there is a challenge like that, then (at least for me) it’s hard to even get into that mindset of playing something in specific because me starting up the game feels forced. I know it isn’t. It’s a voluntary challenge after all. It’s something that just gnaws at the back of my mind.
Having the freedom to choose almost anything and also seeing how you did, compared to others feels like a community effort, compared to the specific themes, which mostly just boiled down to “Do I have any of these games? Oh, I can only play this one?”. It’s one huge project, not a bunch of small things to cross off your checklist.
I started checking the challenges from the beginning and always just had to give up because I just either lacked the games needed, had already completed them or just didn’t feel like playing them.
The last one I really liked was the Scavenger Hunt, because it gave you freedom while also making sure that you pay more attention to the game’s details. I sadly was just too late to start that one.
I really like the idea of those challenges and thinking of them is not an easy task. It gets people to play stuff they might’ve skipped otherwise and that’s a very good cause. I just sadly can’t get into most of them.
But, again, thanks for this challenge. This has already proven to be very fun. :)

I bought it on Steam Sale on 5th July, no idling. And I think that Main + Extras on HLTB doesn’t count going after mini games achievements and races, that’s why it has so short completion time.

Played it last month a little. Today is 14th day of month and in last 2 weeks I played in it in 6,5h (in total 22h) which gives 15,5h already played. So I’m left with ~28h of gameplay to complete it.
added, good luck with your second game! :)
I failed the challenge. Died on day 55 after falling off a broken bridge.
Too bad! But at least you got quite a few achievements out of it :) Should I mark you as done in the list?
The 200 days goal was almost impossible to achieve anyway, maybe 100 would have been realistic in one month. Unless I’d hibernate, but that would be boring. I will continue playing The Long Dark to familiarize myself with the other areas and because it’s gorgeous and addictive. I can say for sure I will never get lost again in Mystery Lake and the Ravine as I explored every nook and cranny.
In my opinion, I partially failed. I set a goal because I picked an endless game. I guess you could mark it done, with asterisk :3
I probably wouldn’t have picked it up now if the name of the monthly theme didn’t remind me of it.
| LinustheBold | The Witcher | 0 | Main + Extras: 45 | No Achievements |
I’m up to 9 hours at this point - what an amazing game. I play slowly, here as always, and there’s no real chance I’ll finish by the end of the month, but for my own records I’m inclined to claim this as a monthly when it’s done - since I knew I’d never beat it in time.
I’m really amazed that I never played this before. All the raves and compliments are entirely justified.

(I played Trails in the Sky in offline mode for some time, so I spend more than 50h in it. But let’s keep stats from steam profile. I wanted to grab 2 more achievements, but there is no way I will play long and boring ending sequence 2 more times)
(Edit: I beat Hollow Knight. Tho I lost save mid-game due to some weird bug and had to replay like 6 or 7 hours (luckily I did make manual save backup). Tho I played in offline mode, so this time doesn’t count towards total playtime)
Hi, I’m new here, and I didn’t understand if I was supposed to post before starting or after finishing, so I’m kind of posting my progress half way through…
| Ragnar | Just Cause 3 | 0 | Main Story: 17.5 h | 15/66 | 24 h |
Well, while I’m far from beating the Main Story as I keep getting distracted by other fun stuff to do in the game, I did manage to reach my goal of 20 hours, which I’m actually pretty surprised by.
Monthly challenge failed. Completed dozens of quests, several quest lines, got 21 more achievements in 39 hours :)
I guess i could have rushed main quest and not get lost in side ones, just didn’t feel like it. But at least i got myself to play Skyrim and planning on doing so until completed :D
Reply here once you’ve finished your game!
I think this is a wonderful idea!! My mentality is exactly what you said in the OP - it’s much better to get a lot of shorter games done than a big one, right? So I decided to gather up all my big RPGS and ask RNGesus which to play. First I pulled out Shadowrun: Returns but it actually only came out to about 18 hours on HLTB - I’d probably put in more because of how slow I tend to play, but I want to play by the rules. FF3 came up second.
(Those 2hs was most likely idling!)
great, added :) (my pick is about 3 h idling as well, only played the intro last month)
Hi, nelly! I just want to let you know I’ve finished! here is my post about it.

In this link you have the 2 runs that i did. Imagem . My first run was exploring and killing all optional bosses except the first. I killed it in my second run for the achievement.
That was quick, congrats! :D
I’ve 100% completed my pick, Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition. It took me 53h this month (63h total - I started it Jun 29th), which just reinforces my opinion that people submitting their times to HLTB either are some kind of speedrunners trying to boast how fast they did that all, or plainly don’t know what “completed” means :P
Well, sometimes people are actually faster (see Wolfedood’s times for his game ;) )
Except Main+Extras you can interpret however you want - you rush through the story / main questline & then what? One person will do more other will do less side things, so I can understand differences on this. Completed is completed though. TheZooz who picked SD:DE for me had 65h on completion (so basically very close to me). I’ve checked few of my friends with 100% on this and none of them had less than 52h on it.
I’m not arguing with you or anything:), I’m just really frustrated with HLTB. I can kind of use it as a broad pointer (whether playing the game will take single, double or triple digits) and now that I had a chance to compare more of my stats to usual HLTB stats I somewhat know I need to multiply whatever HLTB shows by 2-3 to get more accurate estimate for myself. But I don’t like using HLTB as a holy gospel or as a strict filter for anything. :P
please don’t take this as me arguing for HLTB, this is the first time I’m using it for anything and as I said in the main post, I know it’s not super accurate - though the games I checked for myself so far actually are pretty close. My comment was just about your comment “I needed much longer”, right in between two other “I didn’t need as much time” comments in my inbox. So it goes in both directions, one day you might stumble upon a game that you finish in half the time HLTB predicts ;) (And if you submit your time on the site, the time might get more accurate ;) )
Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition took me 37 hours to 100%. I also just did random stuff quite a lot, so I’m not sure if they’re speedrunning or you’re just soaking the game in for a long time :D
Finished Pillars of Eternity ^^
updated, congrats! :D
I finished L.A. Noire yesterday! 100% too! The HLTB estimate was quite accurate, it took me 48 hours as opposed to 45, although that includes a fair bit of time where I just left it running. I finished it way faster than I expected but I probably won’t commit to another 20+ game this month as they are a bit exhausting!
Congrats! Seems like you picked one of those rare games where HLTB can be trusted :D
Thanks :)
I completed Final Fantasy IX. Spent a grand total of 39h in game on steam, but that included a lot of time away from the game (keeping it paused), when I did things like cooking, or went down to the store. So actual end time to beat the game was 31h (screenshot of my save from right before the final boss)

I sometimes forget I’ve got games paused when I just step away for a bit to check on my food etc. too, but never when leaving the house (so far) XD
I live quite close to my store (just over 5 min), so leaving games on when I buy groceries is not really a big deal.
I’ve finished my chosen game!

I finally beat a game in line with the monthly theme! What do I win?
Congrats! And congrats on writing possibly the longest review anyone’s ever posted on this site XD (and you win a spot on the list of super awesome July assassins, I hope it was worth it! :P)
I’ve beaten Zestiria =o
It wasn’t as pleasant as expected, but I couldn’t leave it unfinished =)

Congrats! I still have to tackle that one day …
Finished:
Hitman: Absolution
Congrats! :D
I made it :) Was going after Main + Extra but went a bit further and got all achievements :)
Awesome, congrats! :D
Finished Dark Souls 2 scholar of the first sin!
Didn’t think I had the ‘skills’ to do it.
Nice, congrats! :D
Vikings - Wolves of Midgard beaten. I’ve basically completed everything that could be done in a single playthrough. All that is left are consequent playthroughs in different modes/ difficulties or with a different character, so another 40-50 hours each time. For now I had enough ;) Although it’s a bit addictive so I did start another char on highest difficulty and I also continue with my first char simultaneously in new game+. I won’t be focusing on W-VoM anymore though - time to move on to other games (and probably shorter ones, so this was my last entry for this month’s theme). I may play a map or two once a week or something, just for fun :)
*should be 34/39 - one achiv is broken atm & didn’t proc. I especifically farmed for it, sigh T_T

You can update this one with 34/39 achivs, cause they finally fixed it, and I’ve launched the game to grab it :)
Thanks for the wrap-up ^^
Finished XCOM: Enemy Unknown at 67h.

Congrats! :D
Done! HLTB was right on the money for once.
Managed to beat L.A. Noire: Complete Edition. Took me 27 hours in total (22h after submitting myself in this monthly theme). The game’s so good. One of the only ones that barely had anything boring in it.
44/60 achievements as well
That’s it! I’m done! Have a screen with Credits rolling. Played time: 65h. Giving up on ship battles :D
Wanted to link my uplay acc. But the site wont load so… bäh -.-
Thank you for hosting the theme! knutsch
Hey, I beat another game that fits the 20+ hour theme! I saw the announcement of the next monthly theme, so I hope I’m not too late. Does it still count?

Hi, I didn’t add this game to the list since it’s not on Steam and you’ve already beaten a fitting game on Steam, but still congrats on beating another game :)
Finished both games (not sure if you’ve seen my other reply earlier this month), at 52.2 hours in (10.1 hours since I signed up) for Gems of War and 12.2 hours in for Game of Thrones - A Telltale Games Series.
Thank you for this month’s theme, I’d been postponing playing GoT and Jurassic Park from the first Telltale bundle for over a year and this gave me enough motivation to finish this awesome game :)
I finished Steins;Gate in 26 hours !
Finished my second game for the monthly theme - Evoland 2. Here are the stats:

Completed Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 with all achievements.
I made it!!
I got VERY sidetracked by sidequesting / achievement hunting even if the cheevos are uplay only, and ended up putting 45h into it. Got 44/50 cheevos on uplay, and in case you need something else I posted a screen of the credits on steam ;).
It was really a cool idea for this month’s theme, thanks for making me play a longer game rather than shorter ones.
Finally completed Fallout New Vegas!

Finished Two Worlds Epic Edition :) Is there any more information you need to update the table?
Glad to report I can also joint the ranks of people who have finished off their targets - 100% done! Also, feel like finishing off Risen 3 right after now, as I just picked it up in the new Humble Bundle. Curse you, deals!
Finally finished it! I did main story, true ending, all collectibles and romances. I guess I’m a bit slow. Anyway, here’s the code:

I beat the game and am halfway through a second playthrough right now. I’ll get some more achievements, but 100%ing is not realistic. So, ‘final’ stats:

updated at 31/7
Finally completed Divinity with 72 hours total and 41/54 achi.
That took waaay longer than i anticipated and i almost gave up last week after losing every file on my hdd (thank god for steam cloud).
Hey nelly. I’ve just finished my plathrough of Final Fantasy XIII yesterday, as summed up by my post here.
My in-game playtime has a massive difference from my logged playtime. As I’ve explained in my post earlier, performance issues made the game run slower than how it should be. On top of that, I had once slept while the game was still on lol. Arguably though, what I cleared is only the Main Story part, but I don’t really want to endure another 70 hours of playing a game in 15 FPS for now xD.
I’ve posted 6 days ago, that I’m starting another one, Dishonored DE. Today, I’ve beaten it - the base game as well as both story dlcs. I’ve also managed to get every achievement possible for a single playthrough (many are mutually exclusive). I may get back to it, do some trials and a 2nd playthrough (full stealth, non lethal one), but that’s for another time, certainly not this month :) For now I’m satisfied :)

Finished my game! Thinking of working on 100%ing it at some point

Maybe I’ll take rest cheevos later but it’s already end of the month
I replied to the signup instead of this post :D
I finished two additional games.
