What is the quickest time in which you have completed the game 100%? I personally can't remember from when I finally completed it in December last year, but it must have been at about 800 hours. Then again, I had been playing since October 2004, so it's explainable.

So, what's yours?

[punknoodle]

I read once somewhere that R* said that average first time playing thru to 100% would take about 150 hours...then with experience it would take about 50 hours. I agree with that since the last time I did 100% it took about 50-80 hours.
Wow...800 hours...I'm at 500 hours on my messing around savefile...gonna shoot for 1000!

[radicell]

It took me three weeks I remember. Around 2-3 hours of gameplay each day, so it must'a been around

21 days x 2-3 hours per day = 50 hours.

That wasn't my first time though. The first time I gave 100% a shot, I cheated hundreds of times and accidentally overwrote my save at Green Goo.

[lloydo]

Takes me like ages, havent even competed GTA SA 100% too hard gettin everything, but i dont use cheats and i'm usually dragged back by free roam.

[Protonkid]

It took me half a year. I've been simply running around like an idiot.

[gtamodder]

It took me a while, took me about 3 months.

[Girish]

Frankly, I don't rememeber. It must have took forever though. I was stuck on 'Learning to Fly' for 2 weeks until I found GTAF.

[˸øåíüêà]

Took me just under 2 years to complete 100%.

[gtamodder]

I remember it wasn't actually 3 months, that Was Vice City, it took me 1 year and a half for SA.

[radicell]

I just checked the stats of my 100% save file, I actually got a rather fast time of 38 hours.

Err...is this with or without cheats?

[radicell]

No cheats. I remember three weeks of nonstop playing, around 1-2 hours each day. That would make it around 40 hours of game time.
This is also the save where I have no trainers used, no wastes, and no busts. It was a pretty committed three weeks, with every step towards 100% planned out ahead of time.

First 100% was 4 weeks, about 2 hours a day

And it was without cheats.

[PeteDude]

I just got 100% and it says 68:30. Does that mean 68 hours 30minutes?

Yes, it does. And that's not bad at all.

GTA SA is the easiest GTA, besides IV. IV is the easiest...ever.. SA took me about 2 weeks. First time I played Vice City, it took me like 5 months

So...

What GTA game was the first you played?
When Vice City came you where 11, and you probably where a lousy gamer.

Maybe SA improved your skill?

For me Vice City had no challingen missions, just some mildy irritating. As goes for SA.

[mark-2007]

I got the game the day it came out and am still yet to complete it 100%! Should get round to doing it though, really. Perhaps in the summer when the weather's bad (guaranteed bad weather up here).

Completed the storyline countless times (it get's really boring once leaving Los Santos until the return) without cheats. I could never get past Death Row mission in VC without resorting to cheats.

GTA3 100% - 30 hours

VC 100% - 46 hours

SA 100% - roughly 60 hours
