My first playthrough took 300 hours, what about you?

for what I see it is too long, just want to hear your thoughts

dunno, i keep going back to ds1/2/3 every time i try to play this game

[Tikus Tycoon]

Around 230 hrs, with 300kg of salt at the end

[VoidWalker]

85, of which the last 5 were spent on Malenia and Malekith.

[Toad]

I think it was around 120-130hrs on my first playthrough. I was exploring as much as possible but was steamrolling most encounters. My Greatshield build + pre-nerf Mimic Tear was way too strong I think for a first playthrough.

I've wanted to do a full playthrough again as a pure Strength build, but I just cannot bring myself to play for that long again.

[MoXy]

90hrs first playthrough, around 200 ng+ i think

[Ichi-nii]

mine also took a little over 300 hours, and I'm yet to complete the other endings that I didn't do.

[Dudersaurus]

i just killed the fire giant and burnt the tree, 315 hours so far

[Hack_n_Slash]

About 289hrs split between two runs. Some of those hours were spent helping others in boss fights.

[Bolle]

1st ever playthrough around 110 hours. I was in every dungeon, except one I think.
I still play my first char. Continuing trying to level up.

[Lenox]

450 for me. Did almost everything in one playthrough. Every cave, etc.

[FeilDOW]

I'm at 150ish and I'm at the elden beast but I'm just clearing caves and exploring every nook and cranny before I get to the ending.

Why is having content in the game a bad thing?

[Ermitaum]

About 90, give or take.

[VBro96]

I smoke blunts and get lost over and over. Who knows when I'll finish.

Bloodborne is still better

Because many people want more intense and compact content and less stretching.
You can compare it to music on the radio, where the song gets shortened for a more casual experience. Or if you read a book vs. a film. The book f.e. LotR has some parts, which don't really attract many people, but for others it's part of the depth. In the film however, it gets cut. f.e. the journey to the old forest etc.
