This game is like super short?

[Jamiboy]

Even though this is in two series, isn't this like really short? I mean after the event at Hobbs art building came the credits. Anybody feel the same?

[Calabam]

yeah was failry short i would have hate to have seen how short it would have been if it never got back so highly in the kickstarter. The puzzles where not even puzzles rather dissapointed with them also but been a fan of the old games am still glad they made this it is still possible to make decent point and click adventures sadly this is nothing special like the first two where to me.

lol that just sounds funny.

It wasn't. Some old guy had a cold and kept sneezing in the pub in Ireland.
Must of heard it 1000 times. Drove me mad.

Haha i remember hearing that guy sneeze over and over again. All because of the goat!

The Goat puzzle... most annoying yet hilarious puzzle. I remember overthinking everything

I definitely felt nastily surprised with the credits after the fire. It's not so much for actual length (Steam says 13 hours, but that includes alt-tabbing to GHangouts and Skype and watching XFactor), but percieved lenght. So little happens with the story, with so few characters and only the same 5 locations over and over again (Gallery - Vera Security - Nico's appartment - Bijou - London)...

I really hope Revoluton get on the ball with the second episode! The first one is good, but sub-par compared with the previous installments!

People who think that 400.000 is a large budjet. As it might sound large amount for yourself, in corporate environment that is little money and wont last long.

5 people working for 4k a month for a year makes 240k for salaries only. If you see the credits, there was more than five names. Now you can argue me below.

Edit: This is what you should also put into concideration.
"Revolution announced Broken Sword: The Serpent's Curse on 23 August 2012, starting a Kickstarter project with a $400,000 goal. Until then, the production of the game had been self-funded and $500,000 had been spent. Despite interest of the "industry's biggest third party publisher," Revolution preferred to self-publish the game, giving them creative freedom, which Cecil felt allowed them to make decisions that are best for the game. However, Cecil has also noted that he still plans to work with publishers in the future for retail releases. The game's Kickstarter goal was reached in the project's 13th day. It was successfully funded on 22 September 2012, raising $771,560 from 14,032 backers, and a total of $823,232 counting 1,218 PayPal backers who raised $51,672."

What if Revolution didn't start a kickstarter and went for the easy third party publisher money? What kind of Broken Sword would we have now?

very very very short game... i feel a little disappointed. 7 hours to finish the first part, taking my time. the other BS were more longer in my memories. but great pleasure to see again George and Nico.

Your mind is playing tricks on you then. BS1 was about 12 hours while BS2 was about 7 hours. You've only played 50% of BS5 now and you've already spent as much time as with BS2! Expect a 10+ hour game once Episode 2 is out, on par with BS1.

Seriously, I'm getting tired of people calling this game short. It's only the FIRST HALF! 50%! Not the FULL game. Jeez...
On the other hand it's also a good sign that you think this game is too short because that means you enjoyed it and you want more. Good news: we'll get more very soon!

And to the people rushing through the game in 3-4 hours: you've clearly missed the majority of the game. There is so much more to discover in it, so many comments about all those hotspots, so many different dialog lines. Just take your time and explore! You'll be surprised how much content this game has to offer. For example: have you tried to give the diamond ring to Nico yet?

Once again, if you're going "indie" or working on titles your salary can change to whatever you want, but I doubt they wanted less money with the extra 450k dollar.
Because, I hardly see what that money made at all.

I was surprised by how short this was, and wondered what happened. Anyone knows when they'll release the rest?

[💕 𝓑𝓾𝓷 💕]

I play the game slowly and enjoy all the dialogues such as showing everyone "Trevor"
Part one I got 13 hours. But I did leave the game on while doing something else but I do take my time playing BS5 so I am less sad when the game finally ends because Revolution may not make 6th game even with kickstarter.

[Lord Flashheart]

if the second part is as long as the first then i think it is very good value for money.

[tomimt]

It's already better value for money than Larry Reloaded. That game is the same price and it's only aboout 2 hours long.

[everidly]

The first game took everyone ages because you didn't have a hints option. There were a lot of concepts in the first game that just weren't 'obvious' the way they are in 5. It took me weeks to finish the first game, but I was 11 or 12 years old at the time. Maybe the games are just a lot easier now because we're all older. ^^

Or maybe because there are no annoying parents anymore who pull you away from the PC after an hour of gameplay :P

Huh? You think Revolution won't make a 6'th game?

[tomimt]

I'm sure Revolution will make a 6th one if sales warrant it. But I'd rather have Beneath a Steek Sky 2 before that.

You mean beneath a steel sky right? I totally agree.
