a 12 hour campaign is enough.

hell even if its less than that as long as the gameplay is great and you can replay the missions i think its fine.

for $60 bucks i can do with that and we dont know for sure what the season pass will have but im sure it will be more content for the game extending that game time even.

i think the ONLY thing i dont like is the 2 bigger editions giving a couple days early access (i think its just a cheap way of getting people to buy the bigger version of a game by making it a fomo of those first few days if you have the base edition) the other stuff is fine and price wise its more or less how much you trust in the game and developers.

their other horde based shooter game world war Z was generally well received and featured the same form of endless hordes of monsters so they know what they are doing to that degree and then just topping it off with some space marine goodness.

we also seem to forget the original space marines campaign was a whopping 5 hours or so? maybe an hour more or less depending on how things go for ya but overall much shorter and yet its a classic now and people were BEGGING for this game to come and so those prayers have been answered to the beggars who now become choosers.

expecting a 40 hour campaign from a 3rd person shooter is kinda crazy seeing how most shooter games that do have campaigns last roughly 5 to 6 hours or so and to compare to a modern 3rd person shooter game gears 5 had a roughly 11 hour campaign and to 100% it went to a whopping 20 hours.

i imagine same length here if its to 100% it, and even if not them ima STILL have a blast cutting tyranids to bits

Bro, the ONLY reason I played this ♥♥♥♥ for is because there are no other games that got good campaigns nowadays. you want to know how many hours I have on the RA 2 and Warcraft 3, DIABLO 2 and other games of the past? THOUSANDS, but there is just nothing else to do nowadays, no games. I finished spacemarine campaign atleast like 20 times, with different skins, and here I am playing it again, no cheaters, no problems.

That you have thousands of hours in Warcraft 3 and Diablo 2 does not mean those games have thousand hours long campaigns. You could put thousands of hours into Homeworld 3 or Diablo 4 if you really wanted to.
You could put thousands of hours into Space Marine 2 when it comes out.

You're confusing your nostalgia for games you loved as a kid when everything was still a novelty with the measurable values of those games. Shooters 20 years ago didn't tend to have massively long campaigns. If Space Marine 2 has a 12 hour single player mode, that would have fit right in with other shooters from 2004.

Novelty and nostalgia ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is already debunked a million times over, it has nothing to do with that, It is all about quality, and sadly quality of the campaigns nowadays are mediocre to nonexistent completely focusing on the profit, not art, and that shows, we all know it is a degeneration era my man, with greedy corps winning over the kids with microtransaction crap, who know nothing better

^The topic was campaign length, the post you called "Facts" was about campaign length. Whether you like a game or not is subjective. My only response to your rant about quality campaigns being a nonexistent these days is that I disagree.

wouldnt waste my breath on that guy anymore.

apparently if a game doesnt give you hundreds of hours of content to the same degree that a game like the witcher 3 can then its not worth playing.

different games have different standards for gameplay length and campaign lengths IF THEY EVEN HAVE ONE!

hell some of the most popular shooters as of late didnt even have campaigns and yet people ate em up but now its a problem when a game that has a standard length campaign for a 3rd person shooter comes out simply because its not witcher 3 or baldurs gate 3 length?

that was the reason for my post originally was because its a fine enough length for a game of this style seeing how it will have coop and pvp alongside its campaign.

in fact i wouldnt be surprised if the game does well enough we might even see expansions depending of course

Actually this is not normal.

All games we purchased 2 decades ago had a very big story and you could spent tons of hours on it.

Now people are happy to spent 100$ on a preorder of a game with 6h campaign, 4h-6h side missions and for multi 6 maps that they will be happy to farm in a loop with differents difficulty. "Adding more HP on mobs is new content"

You cant just say "Alot of games had a very big story" and not give us a singular example.

I decided to check your theory out and search for full walkthroughs of two games. The original doom, the original call of duty modern warfare and call of duty world at war, Not one of them surpass four hours, execpt the original doom which is but a mere 10 minutes longer.

hey now i think they meant to talk about monopoly board game and how it can last for hours upon hours...

oh wait average monopoly game lasts 3 hours...

ummmm...

Its not enough, 12 hours is probably if you listen to every dialogue and explore everywhere. I imagine its going to go much faster playing with friends or on a lower difficulty.
They didnt improve the mechanics of the game or made the game more rpg like so price doesnt justify what they offer.
Seems worth playing only for multiplayer

you could argue that for cod as well but people love the campaigns for those games (when they have em of course)

not every game needs to have a 30 to 40 hour campaign and this game not only has the solo campaign but it has coop AND pvp...

again i dont think needing a 30 hour campaign is needed specially when compared to other AAA fps/3rdps as none of them have campaigns longer than that.

hell i think the longest fps campaign as of late was most likely metro exodus and that was 15 to 20 hours...

If DLC gets it to that point where if added up it's that long and content is worth purchasing then fine.

Can't even think of a Shooter campaign that's over 12 hours and doesn't suck.

A 12 hour campaign is fine. :P

As long as that campaign is full of awesome/exciting moments you'll hear no complaints from me. :)

Wasn't the original game only about 6 hours anyway?

Length doesn't necessarily equal quality.

Edit:
According to Google, the playtimes of Serious Sam 2 and 4 are about 10 hours each, so they're comparable to what Space Marine 2 will be.

If you speedrun on tourist maybe you can do it in 10 hours. What in the world are they smoking, 13.5 hours for full SS2 completion? It has ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of secrets.

Around 20 hours, according to 136 GameFAQs users who told us how long it took them to beat it."

That is more accurate.

*Shrugs*

The first Metal Gear Solid on PlayStation can be completed in roughly 11 hours, and I don't think another 10 hours would have made that game any better.

On the other hand, the new Final Fantasy Remake (2020) is a slow-and-tedious 40 hour game that would have made an absolutely amazing 12 hour game.

So long as the game's awesome, I think 12 hours is fine. :)

Also, we'll definitely get more playtime from the other Co-op and PvP modes. :)

Not every game needs to be as long as Red Dead Redemption 2. XD
