An interesting... and worrying review.

[YuGo]

Force Gaming released a good review of Space Marine 2. And it talks about the content of the game that might worry a lot of people.

He finished the game (campaign) in less than 6 hours...

And he didn't rush it or anything. Anyway, I was a little disappointed with this lack of content. But we'll see tomorrow. I bought the Gold edition.

The first Metal Gear Solid on PlayStation could be completed in roughly 6 hours, and that game was a masterpiece.

Besides, lets be real, most players are going to spend all their time in the co-op and pvp experiences which are designed to be re-playable.

I feel like this is a nothing-burger. o_O

Wouldnt you rather want 6-8 hours of high intensity quality than 15 hours of alot of obvious time-wasting mechanics?
- I've felt that with quite a few games and with my work hours I'd much rather wan't something playable with high intensity..

6 total mission is a POS for any game no matter what you look at

Never pre order games, this has been proven a right move since years now.

Probbaly an unpopular opinion, but if you want a game that feels LONG just for the sake of being long, pick up the first FF7 remake. :/

I felt like it was a tedious 32 hour game that could have been an exception 12 hour game. :P

6 hours of good campaign >>>>>> 40 HRS of open world non-sense

You kids lost in hours count, and miss the "what do I get" in those hours. Think of one night with the girl of your dreams or 10 years of okish marriage your dream girl bestfriend.

It`s all about the emotin.

Wanna grind, there`s ton of souless repetative open world grinders. I`m here for the one hell of adventure.

PS: there are good singleplayer games within 20-30 hrs mark (last of us part 2 or god of war), but they`re unicorn in todays industry standarts.

Good example is game vanquish - you can beat in 3 or 4 hrs, but damn those will be best hours of your life if you like action games. RE remakes beatable in 2-5 hrs, are those game bad? Hell no!

Umm give me the 10 years of marriage please. Also I can buy my dream girl for a night for $2,000..... if I could get a wife for 10 years for $2,000 out of pocket, that would be some awesome 10/10 value right there. Mine cost me about $160,000 and she was out of there in 3 1/2 years.

Popular opinion: even better play the OG game and have a blast for 40-80 hours.

Actually what I'm doing atm on Duckstation. Just about to leave Midgar.

Was looking around for "and games with decent playtimes coming out.... nope.. back to PS1 lol.

I mean think about it, if you game heavily.. a 6 hour game at $60 would be like spending $420 to $840 a week on games... that's silly.

Calling Space Marine 2 a siix hour game is just being disingenuous. XD

The majority if your playtime is meant to be spent in the re-playable co-op and PvP modes. Most players are only going to play the campaign once or twice. ;)

Also, comparing the playtime-length of a high-fidelity action shooter to an old-school RPG doesn't seem like a fair comparison. ;)
