Topic: Most Disgusting Fire Emblem Awakening "Save File - Actual Play Time" Ratio

[leahsdad]

For the purpose of mutually shocking each other into guffaws of disbelief.  How bad is your actual play time of Fire Emblem Awakening (as recording by your activity log) versus the play time recorded by the game's save file?  This should make people who chose casual mode smug with the decision. 

Hard Mode - Chapter 14
Game Save File Time - 27 Hours, 24 seconds.
Play Time via Activity Log (as in, ACTUAL play time including restarts) - 57 hours, 39 minutes.

So basically, I've lost 30 hours, 28 minutes, and 36 seconds to restarts, WELL OVER half of my play time.  Wow, that's bad.

Wow, that is crazy.  I'll have to check mine out.  Mind you, I haven't played it in a good while since I got caught up in Darksiders 2 and now the original Witcher.  I really want to have it finished before Animal Crossing releases though so I really need to get on it lol.  That's a lot of repeated gametime though, hence why I took out permadeath in my game (I know, I know, its blasphemous lol).  My gaming time is so limited now a days that I couldn't put myself through the many restarts I have in the past in previous FE.

BAHAHAHAHA SCREW THE ORIGINAL MODE ELITISTS
Seriously, my friend and I have argued which mode was better. I know have more ammo against him.

Game Save File Time- 72:53:45
Play Time via Activity Log- 109:56

I regret nothing.

Mode - Classic
Difficulty - Normal
Game Save File Time - 53 hours, 58 mins (3238)
Play Time via Activity Log - 70 hours, 23 mins (4223)
 
Difference = 16 hours 25 mins
 
How the hell does it happen?!

I wasn't going to use the casual mode until I got to chapter 6 and one of my characters kept dying in that battle. So I made a new file, switched to casual, and like it a lot more.
