7 hour campaign? Says who?

[Vallard]

When I looked up the campaign length for this game everywhere was saying 5-7 hours for just the campaign no side stuff with a very impressive "Some people claim to have beaten it in 4.5 hours!".
It takes less than 3 and a half hours to full clear the campaign with no glitches or tricks. INCLUDING CUTSCENES/loading screens. No speedrun tricks, and I even died a couple times to wonky flight controls.

Maybe they included time they had the game paused.

It took me 3 - 4 hours, with the ship battles dragging on and on.

Where the hell did you find those #'s? I thought it was common knowledge that the campaign was short, you can beat it in half a sitting. They added it just to appease some people.

Googling the campaign length pulled up several of the number I linked above suggesting that its the norm. I am mostly annoyed because I recorded the above video for a friend that didn't want to waste their money and set aside 6 hours and consumed plenty of caffeine expecting to be up till 3am only to find my self buzzing like a cicada on redbull and espresso at midnight with nothing to do.
