galileo31dos01 Posted June 30, 2017 This thread takes inspiration from the current map I've been playing since last afternoon, taking a lot of breaks to do other things, obviously. I think my record is 4 hours and twenty-something minutes, although this aforementioned map has beaten the record by far AND I'm not even 3/4 done... Come on, share 0 Share this post Link to post
CapnClever Posted June 30, 2017 I got six words for you: Citadel at the Edge of Eternity. I think it took me 4 1/2 hours to do that blind. 3 Share this post Link to post

Crusader No Regret Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) Over 8 hours in Deus Vult 2: map 29 Which is basically all of Deus Vult other than a few teleporters that don't work. That's the displayed time and doesn't count the numerous reloads. And to think I'm going to be crazy enough to do it AGAIN. I have no words for this level of insanity. I think I matched this playing time in some of the Eternal Doom 4 maps, actually. But I play slow. 1 Share this post Link to post

Oh so I'm not the only one, yes this map is taking forever like FOREVER, and even though what's left is the IoS battle and 7 secrets, including a sector with an insane number of cyberdemons that I'm looking a way to get there... wait, what do you mean by "a few teleporters that don't work"? Because I only found one teleport not working, are all secrets OBTAINABLE?? 0 Share this post Link to post
Lila Feuer Posted June 30, 2017 Spent over an hour on most maps in Eternal Doom. 0 Share this post Link to post
Doominator2 Posted June 30, 2017 I wonder what the maximum time the engine is able to count up to? 0 Share this post Link to post
Crusader No Regret Posted June 30, 2017 Hmm, i did register all the secrets by the end. There was about maybe three monsters that never came out their teleport closets by the end and I never figured out how to release them. Felt a sense of incompletion. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted June 30, 2017 I dunno; "TIME SUCKS" doesn't give much nuance. I do recall taking more than two hours to finish Simo Malinen's Maintenance Complex. 1 Share this post Link to post

GarrettChan Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) Community Chest Map29, Citadel at the Edge of Eternity, honored mentioned, so many times. First playthrough, 4~5 hours. Actual run, 112 minutes. 4 major failed attempts at 30 minutes, 44 minutes, 62 minutes and 79 minutes. 1 Share this post Link to post

Graf Zahl Posted June 30, 2017 2:30 pure play time on ZDCMP2. A lot more when counting all the failed attempts. 0 Share this post Link to post

"Time sucks" is awarded for over how many minutes? The first time I remember getting this was on tnt map 21. 0 Share this post Link to post
Cruduxy Pegg Posted June 30, 2017 Do hexen hubs count? If yes then heresiarch hub wins ;P 0 Share this post Link to post
BigDickBzzrak Posted June 30, 2017 3 or so hours spent on Foursite. At least it was worth it. @Pirx you suck if you finish the map in an hour or more 0 Share this post Link to post

That wad id's lazy 'solution' to avoid coding a time display including hours. It gets shown when the time exceeds 60 minutes, which, of course was exceedingly bad for the original maps but we all know how things developed and that such assumptions will ultimately backfire. 0 Share this post Link to post
Pirx Posted June 30, 2017 Ok ;) IIRC that was way more than 1 hour, it was a coop game and, clueless as we were in 1995, we spent the whole evening with that map... 0 Share this post Link to post
Empyre Posted June 30, 2017 I remember taking over 4 hours to play Holy Hell in coop with one other player. It took that long even though we were playing with slightly overpowered weapons, but no where near as OP as Russian Overkill. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fuzzball Posted June 30, 2017 Probably about 6/7 hour sessions on RJSpace9f back in the day...used to put on Last.FM and spend hours and hours on it trying to do things, get better...or just pissing about because I was bored :P 0 Share this post Link to post
leodoom85 Posted June 30, 2017 recently...1 hour and a half for Urania map 28 (counting deaths and all that stuff) 0 Share this post Link to post
CzechMate29200 Posted June 30, 2017 I'd say about an hour and a half... after about an hour, I just quit the level, then chug 3 cans of soda, then bitch about how much I hate the level...I have anger issues... :) 1 Share this post Link to post
LordShadowZ Posted June 30, 2017 I spent like 30 minutes completely lost in Alien Vendetta Map 20 and then I rage quit. 0 Share this post Link to post
riderr3 Posted June 30, 2017 Some map from Eternal Doom takes me almost 2 hours to complete (didn't remember which exactly) I've not sucked because I'm using Prboom-plus. Instead of ragequitting I look into map editor to take a pee, and some interesting things reveals. 0 Share this post Link to post

NuMetalManiak Posted June 30, 2017 About 3 hours playing Oreo Cake Massacre as the longest for me. I am generally a very fast player who likes to play PWADs with mods so even some slaughtermaps are done incredibly quickly after some savescumming. No Eternal Doom map ever takes me an hour to complete, then again, I have watched demos of the first few maps so I knew what to expect then. But even MAP12, MAP31, and a few other bigwigs in the set usually never takes me more than 40 minutes. 0 Share this post Link to post
xAn Posted July 1, 2017 A good hour or more for the first map in vela pax. Well, a couple hours more on the other levels as well... 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Posted July 10, 2017 E3M7 took me forever to complete the first times I played it. "Limbo" was definitely a fitting name for that level, imo. Unholy Cathedral also frustrated me to no end. 0 Share this post Link to post
