15h Playtime WTF....

[J0k3RKilledY]

Worst Game 20 Min and Refund was the best Thing.

15h in and I'm still in Ch2. Having a good time so far

[Kiryu Kazuma]

The story is usually like 10% of completion in these games

[Espio0]

Currently still in Chapter 2, with about 14.7 hours played.

Whenever i think i'm done and we can move on, more substories and systems unlock.

"Half the Yakuza game" Y7 Gaiden is 90 hours on Game Pass in a year for me.
And I didn't do everything (cause Game Pass aka my save is lost after a year).

Like many others have said - I'm 10 hours already and only discovered Madlantis in Ch. 2.

Remember when we used to pay 60$ for 3-4 hours games? We suffered a lot worse then this.

13 hours in and still in chapter 2. There is a lot to do in game unless you're rushing hardcore. Game is fantastic!

A 3 hour game was only 3 hours long for speed runners on modern PCs. Back when those games came out, we were spending thousands of hours playing them.

Even some of the collections have been toned down to make them easier for modern audiences, such as the megaman collections.

I would like you to pick up Kane and Lynch 2, or Iron Man 2, or even Battleship: Movie. Play them and spend thousands of hours in it. And then tell me you had fun.

If you going to defend something at least do some research.

I really don't know what people expect. It's 15 hours if you do straight story and more if you do side content but why do yall wanna play one game for 100+ hrs?

[Skyztamer]

So I went to the website to check the data; and as of now 13 hours for main story is only because that's the only poll submission.

This entire post is disingenuous because of the current lack of data to make a more reliable estimate. For all we know, this post's OP might be that one submission. I don't know what the requirements to post to HLTB are; but if they have no systems for verification in place; anyone can say anything.

I'm aware, but this is a side game to begin with. It'll be on the same length or longer then Gaiden.

Yes that's true, but I see why people are upset. Infinite Wealth is $10 more for a story thats 45 hours longer lol

I would say the story in IW was the worst thing about it. I dont mind a lengthy story....but they reaaaaally stretched it out, even to the point of it being convoluted and unbalanced.

There were times I forgot what the main focus was of the game.

Unlike the new characters in Y7, I think Erick, Chitose, Dwight, the traiter wheel chair dude, Imai,....and their stories felt like a distraction, rather than something that was involved with the main story. Chitose' story really felt like RGG just gave up on it.

The game's story was 20 hours too long. I would be happy with a 200 hour story if it's done well, but IW's story was a mess.

Because I like it?

And I aint rich to waste big money on 20-30 hours.

all yakuza games have like no skips and can be speedran in like 5-7 hours. they were always short and you were always bad, its the side stuff that makes these games

[Nezuko Pizza Delivery]

Yakuza has the best mini games, you never skip them ever!!
