Last Retro Game You Played? What Retro Game Are You Currently Playing?

For a first play through Balla is bang on with it being about 30-40 hours then you throw in looking for items/upgrades and it could longer but overall it just depends on the persons play style.

Why the internet so far off?

Phew! I thought that seemed a bit short - I wondered what I'd been doing wrong!

what do you mean?

Metroid Prime seems to be 15 hours from I can find from online but you two who have played it are saying 30 odd hours, that's a big difference.

Like I said it's all down to play styles, it definitely can be beaten in 15 hours or less but I wouldn't say that's average for a first play through.

Did you get 15 hours from HLTB, mas? I find that their estimates are usually on the short side. I seem to recall it being in the region of 25 hours for me but I didn’t try to collect lots of stuff - 68%, by the end.

They're one place I checked and my times are normally close to what's on there which is people's times put on the site much like user reviews on Metacritic, that people could fudge.

I did then look up after you saying 30hrs and seems to be around the 15hr mark, from what I can find.

I’m fully prepared to accept that my dyspraxic ass is slower at completing stuff than most other gamers.

I'm also getting you two confused again because of the dam avatar.

I'm actually Zero's evil twin, Negative Zer- wait.

I also have a dyspraxic backside, but I think it's more that I go out of my way to complete stuff, collecting most if not all of the things.
