How long does it take to complete the game?

Not 100% complete, but with a decent amount of exploration.

I'm sure this has been asked before but I figured it couldn't hurt to aska again.

Thanks.

Look at the review on the Store page, and click the link to see more reviews. Look at the number of people who have hundreds and even thousands of hours played.

Some will have all achievements, some will have many achievements, some will have some achievements. "Completing" the game means different things to different people. I have 138 hours in so far, all actual playtime, and I haven't "completed" the game yet. I have played over 122 i different builds, all vanilla games, no guides or calcs used. And finally have abuild I like.

So, how long it takes really depends on your playstyle, preferences and familiarity with aRPG's. How long will it take me to "complete" the game? Dunno. All depends on how much I decide to just keep enjoying it "uncompleted".

To just beat the game once, probably around 20-30 hours.

Yeap. One of the great things about this game. No "only-one'way-to-play-it" linearity. You can play it how you like to play it. As quickly, or as slowly as you like. With only one character, built following a guide or using a calc, or a dozen characters built as you go with no Mods, no guides, just trying all sorts of crazy ideas. I like to completely lear maps, do tons of bounties, try many different builds without calc testing them first. And just stomp around thrashing trash mobs and farming, farming, farming. Lol!

Just bought the Crucible DLC last night too. I am guessing I will just have a ton of fun and hours wth that as well. Iz all gud. ;)

I don't know depends on you and your playstyle and build. Last time i leveled my...i think it was my poison build or something, it took me 3 or 4 days and i was lvl 85 and had defeated ultimate loghorrean. But i had some gear in my stash, so it wasn't a fresh start.

Yeah a fresh start will take a little more time to survive ultimate.

To finish the main storyline + some exploration should take about 30-40 hours for the first time. Then you get the hang of it and consequent playthroughs are a tad shorter. This game has insane replayability, btw. ;)

30-40 hours depending on your build and amount of exploration.

Multiply that by 3 to make it through all difficulties.

Looking up a build can be useful, helping you create a character that you enjoy playing.

20-40 on Normal/Veteran. If you want to explore and find hidden stuff. On Elite and Ultimate, you'll know where everything is, and if you don't want to uncover the entire map, it'll shave off 10 or 15 hours, I think.

I try my best to do everything on Normal, then speed through Elite, and take my time on Ultimate.

I took my sweet time with my Pyro and only took him to level 50 before I got a bit bored and that was 50 hours right there. Playing other builds in Veteran and I only have about 90 or so hours and I feel like the surface is barely scratched. 30 to 40 hours if you are moving at a good pace you could likely smoke it to the top level.

Trust me mate, i have maxed a character in almost that time, maybe 35 hours or so. 1-85 with all side quests done and all maps explored fully. BUT it all depends on the amount of twink gear and optimization of your build..And your mentality too i guess. I'm not scared of dying, i'd rather die a lot and progress fast than try to kite everything and play it safe all the time.
