Just finished BioShock.

You did chose the ending by your actions towards little sisters.

Maybe you are faster than the average. :D

You have to remember, this game came out nearly 10 years ago. The new/innovative aspects of Bioshock have been replicated over many times in the past decade. So, while you may have never played the game itself, you are more familiar with the tasks and "flow" of the game and overall structure. It may only be on a subconscious level, but you are more attuned to the gameplay simply by being an active gamer since '07.

took me like 15-20 hours the first time i played it. same with bioshock 2.

Played on hard and 18 hours. Of course I saved all the little sisters, solved puzzles by hand (not by skipping), controlled all sorts of turrets and stuff, explored around and messed around (sometimes I would just do stupid things and waste time).

I never understand why the people rush the game.

Mystery.....

Woah you musta like just dashed threw that game.

7 hours. Did you listen to the audio stuff at all? Maybe that's how you finished so fast? I personally stood in one place when listening to it (to not get hear grunts of people attacking me and such).

40 hours for me T_T I don't know why, but it uses to take me the double of time to finish games than most people. I suppose it is similar to when I read a manga, I like looking at the details of the drawings, not just reading the texts.

The question is........why do you care what howlongtobeat's stats are? You plan on being a speedrun champion?

I'm the type of player that explores everything and takes twice as long as the average player to beat a game. It says the average user completes Shadow Warrior in 12h40m. I have complete 13 of the 17 chapters and I have already been playing for 21 hours. Maybe that is why I am finding this game boring and repetitive, because I am spending too much time in it.

Replay it and this time try and look at every minute detail, the placement of random doodads the notes, the sound design etc. because Bioshock and Infinite have a lot of story hidden like that. Same with System Shock 2 if you ever play it.

I always play games really slow. I look at everything, read everything etc. My walkthrough of Bioshock took 28 hours. Although it's possible some of that is idling.

I tried playing bioshock like 3-4 times but after few minutes my head starts to hurt is that normal? i never had problem with any other game.

Sounds really fast, and you say you listened to diaries and all, so maybe Steam's hour count just glitched? I know for sure that's happened to me in the past.

Also, did you deviate from the main path at all? Like check smaller rooms and optional areas?

it takes me much longer to play through games than howlongtobeat stats will say. First off, I'm not very good at alot of games, so there's that, but I like to look around and explore world too, usually more than the fighting stuff which sometimes irritates me because it gets in the way of exploring. But the world has to be rich for that to work, but if the developer puts alot into the world I like looking around, and am actually a bit disappointed if the extra exploring isn't rewarded in some ways.

It took me 16 hours a few months ago >.> and I had already played it once before when it first came out. I feel slow now.
