How long to complete the game

[bizarre]

Well this can't be right... http://www.howlongtobeat.com/game.php?id=3379

Perhaps I'm just taking my sweet, sweet time because I'm thoroughly enjoying this game. What is everyones insight on this?

[Husky]

I had fun with the campaign but it ended kinda fast in my opinion.

it depends on the difficulty setting being played on, as well as looking everywhere on the island (by foot) for collectibles, let alone doing the side-quests and liberating garrisons.

[Kidd]

On my first try i had 10 hours to finish it. Including all the Main and Sidemissions, the garrisons and the collectible stuff. Of course the game doesent take long to finish but you cant get mad at it because it only costs 14.99 original price and on sale up to 50% so it is fair.

9 hours for the main game and all garrisons beaten.

It doesn't overstate it's welcome like FarCry 3 does and I like that. Yes those times are realistic.

I was a completionist for this like I was for FC3, I finished it in around 10 hours which was a perfect time I thought.

That said it REALLY needed another 2 or 3 missions. The real reason it took 10 hours is because taking out garrisons in stealth takes a lot of time.

yeah. some garrisons I like to do in stealth, because they're quite easy if done right. however, if i'm near one of those consoles that turns off the Mega-shields (and lets the Blood Dragons in), i'll hit those instead.

Well, i'm taking my dear sweet time. I'm pretty sure the object of the game is to have fun, not see how fast you can beat it. I heard some guy say 6 hours for the whole game, every quest, every tape, every tv, etc...that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ must have just sprinted through the game. I've got 3 hours in the game and i haven't hardly done ♥♥♥♥! i've spent most of my time stalking enemy and then throwing hearts do the dragon eats them...makes me laugh.

Took me 15 hours to do and collect everything. Played it on Hard (which wasn't ever very hard). Unfortunately after you do everything, the game becomes somewhat dull (especially once you get a particular weapon that can obliterate everything), so at that point you're better off starting a new game.

I think the designers purposefully made the game OP just because the whole thing is a nod/spoof/parody of 80's action movies, but i do get what you are saying. I have the rocket ammo for the sniper rifle, one well placed shot can blow up a jeep full of enemy, cool the first couple times, gets old the next 50 times.

Huh. I'm disappointed to hear that this game is so short, but that might be a nice change of pace for the first new game of oh-fourteen. After all, last year I mainly played a number of longer, and/or more seriously-themed games like Deus Ex, Skyrim, Arkham City, XCOM EW. Couple others. The price is right though, so I'm gonna go for it.

One question though: should I be familiar with any of the earlier games in the series before getting into this one? I never got around to checking out the FC series.

Story-wise, this has absolutely nothing to do with the other Far Cry games. The gameplay is pretty much the same as Far Cry 3, just a little watered down with some features removed completely. It basically feels like an awesome FC3 mod.

On Hard (lol), took me 7.1 hours, added with some afking. I'd say 6 hours+ of pure gameplay.
Everything collected, max level, all garrisons beaten etc etc...

Very fun DLC, enjoyed it a lot.

No idea btw how main story takes 5 hours. It can be done in 2.5 if you're decent, and not focusing on extras.

Took me 11 hours for complete and collect everything.
