Are there any games you've bought, played and beat the same day? For me it was Super Mario Bros. 3 and the original Metal Gear Solid. I just could not stop playing either of those games until I got to the end credits
-
I'll be honest and say, no, I can't remember when of if this ever happened to me. I am probably guilty like most people on this site to, buy games and then do other things, I've accumulated a ton of games over the years. and now, I've pretty much stopped getting new physical games, and more consoles. I have a lifetime of games already, I can't see myself buying any more game for a long time or even ever again.
plus the fact that I am not that good at games and I rather collect then sell.
-
I can't think of a single time that I've experienced this.
The list is very small of games that I had previously beaten, but on a lazy afternoon I finished from beginning to end in one sitting. I recall doing this with Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2 and Max Payne 2.
-
On the day I bought it - not really? But that's just because it is rare that I play a game on the day I got it.
But there are a ton that I have beat on the day I started them.

Same. Also, if I'm playing a game immediately after buying it, 9 times out of 10, it's going to be one of those games that take 100+ hours to complete. Additionally, I like taking my time in games, exploring everything, and nit just rushing to the credits.
Some games are short enough to complete in single sittings though. I think it took me less time to 100% Megamind for the 360 than it did to watch the movie.

.hack G.U. Vol 1.
I set, and beat the whole game in 1 seating.... on day of the release..... took me like 20-24hours. I passed out afterwards.
-
Not counting real old games, many of which are easily beatable in a sitting, I know Resident Evil 3 Remake was a pretty short time that I beat in a day, being like a 5 to 6 hour run.
-
A a big fan of SHMUPS, fighting games, and other arcade style games beating a game the same day I bought them is not uncommon or unusual for me.
-
Mirror's Edge. So excited for that game, got home after school, opened it up, and then beat it like 2 hours later.
-
The only time this sort of happened was with Soul Blazer on the SNES.

I can´t imagine beating super mario 3 on the NES like that. I played it on GBA with saves and it still took me weeks because of how many times I ragequit.

I can't either, but it may be because I personally didn't grow up with any Mario game available to me, and I didn't have any friends that would give me a chance to play the game with them long enough to learn how to play those 2D platformers. I mean I played some of Super Mario Bros 1 years after my childhood, in fact just a few years ago,
I didn't rage quit, but I felt like I was in hell at the time, so I just quit and played something else. I made it to about the 2nd or 3rd level "probably in world one" before I ran out of lives and had to start the game over from the beginning.
you get 3 lives and if you are hit or touched 3 times with full powerups by anything that moves you lose a life, AND you need to make it through the ENTIRE game. however there is a way to gain more lives by getting a higher score, but you still need to make it through the entire game without getting killed. AND fight Bowser at the end, in which if I were a child and I lost my last life on bowser I would not be happy.
My favorite games growing up were mostly Shareware version and full version first person shooters on the PC/computer.
In short if I grew up with mario I would have like it better

(HERE IS WHAT I'd CALL A CHEAT I FOUND ONLINE ON THE FIRST MARIO BROS FOR THE NES)
internet says.
In Super Mario Brothers on the NES, you can continue where you lost your last life by pressing a+start on the main screen.

After adjusting myself to save scumming while play super Mario bros deluxe, Doom 1, and Half-Life . I have found a lot of trouble going back.

don't worry I do the same thing when I'm playing a hard game for the first time :)
all the games you have mentioned are vary hard to beat even on the lowest difficulty, in fact when I played doom it took both my skills AND my vary old former friend skills to beat that game, AND it took us many sessions and a hell of a long time.
-
I remember one summer my mom bought a game for me, which was rare since we didn't have a lot of money. For some reason I picked Fatal Fury 2 even though I wasn't that big of a fan of fighting games nor was very good at them. 10 hours later I beat the game with the 6th of 8 characters you could choose from and learned what buyer's remorse was.
Apart from crappy little trophy buffer games the only ones I can think of is "The Wolf Among Us."
-
It happens ocassionaly with especially retro styled arcade games except for allot of shootemups or some really tough older games in general :o
For modern games unless I would speedrun them hardcore all routes mapped out there is no way I'd beat them in less than 10 hours.
-
If I exempt short indie games and visual novels... I beat Catherine: Full Body the day it came in. It's about 10 hours long per playthrough? I forget exactly. Helped that I was obsessed with the original and knew all the puzzle techniques so I got through on the quicker side of average.
I also bought a copy of Spongebob Squarepants: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman for nostalgia reasons and obliterated it the day it arrived. My husband was kind of shocked as he watched me relentlessly play. XD I was so stoked since I couldn't beat it as a kid.
-
I beat The Little Mermaid the Christmas my brother got it. It’s still a fun game.
Other than that, I can’t think of any I beat the same day. There are a few I beat in the first sitting, but not the same day I picked them up.
-
There have been two. One was my own doing and the last marathon that I did due to having to adult ever since.
- Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (PS3) - I had got this day one and I was lucky enough that my wife already had plans to take the kiddo to her mom's for the day. I sat down and started playing and was immediately hooked. I took a couple food breaks and a couple bathroom breaks, but the rest of the time was spent enjoying the adventure. I had the game beat by the time my wife returned that evening. It took 7 1/2 to 8 hours on my first playthrough. The series became my favorite and you can see the shadowbox I created for the series in my Gallery here on my VGC profile. It's featuring Drake's Fortune and holds the exact same complete copy I preordered. Sadly, this was the last time I got to do anything like this as adulting took over.
- Aladdin (Game Gear) - Now, unlike Uncharted, this was a complete disappointment. I had played the Genesis game at a friend's house and knew that usually the Game Gear version was pretty close to the 16bit counter part in gameplay. I figured it would be cool to have another good platformer on the go and opted for the Game Gear version for my birthday. It didn't play much at all like the Genesis game and I beat it in 30 minutes. THIRTY MINUTES! I was 13 years old and I was pissed.

Pretty much Sin & Punishment back when I got it off of VC on Wii. I know well there are others, but I honestly don't remember; I have certainly beaten many games within the week that I've gotten them.
Other than that, I recall way back when I nearly beat Fighting Force the same day I rented it, but the last boss handed my ass to me.
- Aladdin (Game Gear)
Reading your comment jolted my memory into remembering that I beat Aladdin for the SNES the same day I rented it. Granted, I think I took a break or two and returned to the game using passwords, but I still finished it on the day I got it. I didn't get the special ending, though.
Some games are short enough to complete in single sittings though. I think it took me less time to 100% Megamind for the 360 than it did to watch the movie.
It's all about presentation.
-
I know for sure I beat Mega Man II (Game Boy) the same day I got it since that game is so short and easy. Other than that, I can't think of any others.
-

Which the game missed the page from the movie and avoided altogether, with the exception of the boss Psycho Delic, a Pimp skeleton with hallucination powers voiced by Kieth David.
-
Only ones i can think off are both power ranger games on the megadrive/genesis.
Power rangers the movie i got the day before christmas and i've beat it atleast 5 times with my nephew during christmas evening. The other power ranger game if memory serves me right was a horrible vs fighter that was incridible easy i'm sure it could be beaten in under an hour.
Another one i can think off is Nba street, i meanly beat it in one day because my memory card was either full or i diden't have one yet can't really remember yet.
-
None for me! I'm at that age and point in my life where sometimes I find it even hard to PLAY the game I just got, let alone finish it!
I haven't been so excited for a game in a really long time that I felt like "I'm going to take off work the day this comes out and play it until I can't play anymore/finish it!"
maybe some day.
