How long is a story mode?

[Kapustachka]

i want to buy this game mainly for the story. Does it worth money and how long is the story. Thanks!

[GeT_MiLk]

Main focus of this game is multiplayer, I'd advise not to purchase this game if you soley want to play for the story.

4-6 hours rushing it down

3-6 hours I'd say.

Story took me about 8 hours to complete. It's a fairly straight forward story about war and those who would wish to make conflict persist. Story is somewhat weak, although it's suitable to the setting. There are quite a few good boss battles that make good use of the game's combat system.

The combat systems in the game is the main selling point, the difficulty in the single player campaign is satisfying, and the multiplayer is absolutely where it is all at. It's possible to exclusively play against the AI in multiplayer matches and get persistant loots for it, so if PvP is not your thing, PvE is there for you.

If you have any doubts, I recommend waiting for an inevidable sale.

How can it be 3 hours? Knight and Viking alone are nearly 3 hours each and there is 3 campaigns.

They probably skipped all the cutscenes like all the cool kids.

Eh probably, I was just like WTF as I've been playing on the second to hardest difficulty (one below realistic) and it takes a bit simply due to fight lengths.

i beat it in 8 hrs on realistic. i enjoyed it :D

That's a lot of assuming you guys did. Jesus, how vitriolic...

I was giving a general answer. I finished the campaign in six hours personally and I've watched everything. Jesus...

[JubeiDOK]

Just a heads up, there's acually a website dedicated to answering this exact question, but for any game. It's called HowLongToBeat.com (for real, I only just stummbled across this recently as well)

Also, as someone else has stated, I would not get this if you are looking for a single player experience(at least not at full price). The single player game is a non-coherent story that basically serves as training for multiplayer.

*patpat* Don't worry. Even if everyone else is asking: 'Waaaaat?' I'll still say that you're awesome and cool.

Not because I like you, or anything. *blush*

Yeah, yeah, don't you think it's completely counter-productive to assume something that has nothing to do with what's written? It undermines the exchange completely and makes people disclaiming and prefacing totally unnecessary things.

Depends on the difficulty you play on, but so far I've probably spent six or so hours trucking through on realistic. Also if you count VS AI matches as singleplayer theres a ton more content. Every game mode lets you play VS AI and I believe there are also options for bot tream mates in the custom game section.
