6 hours campaign is a lie

[アンジェル]

I am almost eight hours into the game, on veteran.

Just had the first traitor encounter. Whoever claimed the campaign is only six hours is unrealistic unless they did not play the game right.

[g0jira]

spam, bait, dont reward such topics about 6h... they want to farm points
12h for me btw

[アンジェル]

There is also the operations which I like as a change of pace.

Plus the campaign is so good, I am already wanting to start a new game afterwards just to enjoy the story presentation once more. Maybe on normal just for chilling through it.

i played this game with my brother in nightmare first time playthrough because we had a feeling whoever said it was a 6 hour story was probably playing on the easiest training wheels press edition of the game, yeah thats a thing. ever since that one idiot failed cuphead spectacularly and wrote a hit piece on how hard it was.

game companies have actually had to make press versions of games that were intentionally on training wheels because games journalists were surprise surprise, incredibly bad at videogames (why the hell are they covering videogames if they cant even play to save their life?). perfect example being Final Fantasy 16 and its "game plays itself" accessories.

It isn't a lie, it's already been confirmed across multiple videos. DIFFICULTY IS YOUR CHOICE. Your failure ratio is your skill level, going straight through the game+cutscenes is around 6 and a half hours. Operations are optional story segments which are NOT campaign. So no, people did not lie, you just don't accept the it.

I have 7.4 hours. Am on the first "Traitor" mission." was at the end of it when I stopped playing last night on angel of death difficulty.+ I've done 3 operations and just spent some time in the hub. So in actuality, my campaign is sitting at around 5.8 hours right now. It's an ok game, but it is well known it is a short game.

[Dangerously Horny]

Yeah. It is 100% due to them playing a difficulty so low there is zero struggle.

If you are not dying every now and then, you have it set too easy. Increasing the difficulty will up the play time significantly. Even just the extra time needed to kill more mobs will add up over the course of the campaign.

You really shouldn't be discussing game length unless you've beaten the game. If you're at the mission I think you are, you have 2 campaign missions left. One is about an hour long, and the other can take 1.5-2 hours long (It's a LONG final mission).

I'm on my second playthrough of the campaign from the beginning and it seems to be averaging 8 hours. 6 hours is definitely way too low of an estimate for how long each mission is, which seems to be 45 minutes to an hour long.

Does it matter if it's 6 hours or 12 hours? That's still extremely short. It's like when you argue with a kid who says he's not 5 years old but actually 5 and 1/2 years old.

i spent 7 hours completing it on normal, 1 of those hours was in the loading screens and 3 1/2 additional hours on cutscenes alone. theres also multiple others that have beaten the game in 6-7 hours on veteran, as well as multiple youtube videos showing the same.

you can only go so slow in this game and if your argument against the campaign being 6 hours is "i haven't completed it yet" then YOU are the one doing something wrong.

[ReignofBlood]

I dunno,have you ever tried playing with people instead of AI?

[Maou]

I beat it in about 8.5 hours.

14 hours on angel of death SOLO for me. if your using 6-8 hours your playing at a difficulty thats WAY TO EASY for you. other than those stupid defend object sections i actually died very little compared to what i do at alot of other games at their hardest setting and it still took 14 hours.

angel of death is probably to easy for 3 skilled people so better to go with AI companions so the game wont become to easy.

I talk about the campaign length because I already know how long it is lol. The game was gifted to me. I had no intentions on picking it up until Spring of next year and you can google the videos yourself. Campaign completion all cutscenes on standard/normal difficulty is 6 hours and 26 minutes. However, if you up the difficulty (Again your choice.) the time can extend drastically due to mob clearing time (Less damage/more hp) and fails (Redos) Like me. I got stuck on that damn chain for like an hour because enemies were shooting me through the crates/flooring.

Confirmed it too, walked over there to watch them doing it. Even my AI partners were shooting through the flooring/crates, so some brief research showed that a lot of people experienced this and it was terribad on angel of death difficulty. Reactor, another rough segment, took 3 tries. etc.

[JP05]

Personally I was searching around looking for data slates and extras on normal difficulty and I beat it in about 6.5-7 hours with maybe 1 or 2 deaths total in the beginning, I guess I didn't "play the game right". I don't have complaints about the campaign but I'm guessing normal difficulty is the difficulty the developers intended most people to play on and if I wasn't looking for extra stuff or watching cut scenes I could've beaten the game in 6 easily. I just think saying it's a lie is dishonest.

now i want to see how fast people can speedrun it, both glitchless and glitches
