3 Hours of content in the hardest difficulty... is that it?

[Melo]

I know the game is just launching, but how are people finishing the game in only 3 hours playing on the hardest difficulty? Is there that little content on the game?

Manor Lords is still very much in Early Access. There's a LOT more content still to come, especially for the mid to late game. If the current state of the game does not impress you, keep an eye on it and simply purchase it at a later date :)

Huh? Can you show me the video, i want to see how he did it in only 3 hours

This is one of these games where reaching the end isn't finishing the game. Same situation like you would defeat the final boss in Slay the spire with one character and said "I finished the game". You decide where is the end.

I suppose it depends on if you can genuinely conclude that completing the main objective of a game mode being is the limit of "content" in a game.

It's not hard to find games in this genre where you can "finish" a map without engaging with half (or more) of the actual content in the game.

It's almost like someone playing a Civ game, getting a Science victory and then saying there isn't much combat content in the game.

The map's only a small version for now from what I understand, and a larger map will become available as development progresses in Early Access...

Having said that, I've seen a couple streamers posting 6-8 hour "playthroughs", so sure, you might be able to achieve the current -- very limited -- objectives in 3 hours, but this is like saying that Minecraft only has less than 10 minutes of content because speed runners can complete it quicker than that... Manor Lords is really not that sort of game...

It's not out yet, playtests and streamers have copies for playtesting and hype. Only the first 1/3rd of the game is playable for those lucky individuals rn. 1/3rd is my guess

[Amras]

I think the streamers destroy the hype, because nobody wants finish a game in 6 hours xD

It probably is the same version, it's just because it's Early Access,the full map, and not all victory conditions (I believe), are available as yet, is all...

Since we are talking about content. How does game over look in this game? I can see that bandits could kill everyone and you don't have villagers to continue but can you also lose for bad resources managment or there is always some way to get out from problems?

Because game is EA and those who finished the game in less than 3 hours, they are playing it wrong.

You can rush most games within a few hours, so thats nothing special. but ML is one of those games where you take your time

[BigWezz]

What do people not understand about "Early Access" these days?
