Question about ''Time Played''.

[VithaR]

So , when i'm on a ''Pause Menu/Options'' , during Cutscenes or in my Inventory - does that count towards the ''Time Played'' after the game is finished?

[Carver]

All of that indeed counts towards the final time played.

incorrect.

pauseing the game via the options menu does actually stop the timer from running entirely.
however useing your inventory or stats menus wont make it pause. so inventory management time does count.
cutscenes also count towards the total so SKIP EM ALL.
but useing the options menu does not.
so just open the options menu and the timer will stop.

Thank you!

Are you certain? There is a guide here that shows S rank and still shows ALL the cutscrenes.

Because S rank requirement is less than 3.30 hs, and there are speedruns for RE0 with clear times at around 1 hour. So it's still perfectly viable to get S rank even while watching all cutscenes, it's just not recommended for a first S rank playthrough because you'll have a lot less room for error if you don't skip them.

I skipped all the cutscenes. Hit pause, went to costco, came back unpaused. Final time over 10 hours. Something is wrong with the 'pause' menu. Maybe pausing works different when using proton than playing it on windows.
Edit: Ok, I played it again. Didn't pause once. I saved and quit every time I wanted to remember where to go. Total Time 10h56m. What? 10 hours has not even passed since I started played. There is no way that is accurate.

what about that quit game/back menu you get when you hit alt on a kb or start on a controller? does that pause the timer?
