How many times did you play through Riviera before stopping?
If you haven't stopped playing yet, just say how many times you've been through thus far.


I've been through twice, working on a third (and technically fourth) play right now.

It's difficult to believe anyone could force themselves through a game thirty-six times for a few reasons.
One is the time constraint. If you spent four hours a day, and it took you an average of 20 hours to complete each run through, that's 180 days. You'd have to have played it four hours a day, probably every day since its release. If you played six hours average, it would be 120. But if you have that kind of time on your hands...
Second is the attention span. It's hard to believe you have the attention to go through the game 36 times. You can get and see everything within six playthroughs, and can get every ending if you wanted within two (with careful manipulation of the girl's feelings). Now, say it took you 10 tries to finally get all the endinds (which is stretching it). You still played through the entire game, doing the same thing sixteen times in a row.
Third is the fact that what you're claiming would indicate you have a better knowledge of the dialogue and the story, yet you've never really contributed to any discussions about Riviera. You made a poll asking what people thought about Lina, and you came here and bragged about how many times you've beat it.
