Why so short?

[Drages]

The game is great fan and got a nice story telling. But content?

Game is great as idea but it's not hard to make new maps/enemies with this style. They should make much more content to play. Boss fights, different enemies..

DLC's planned maybe?

The tutorial is the 2 hour campaign.

From that you can unlock the rest of the game. There is easily 30+ hours of content.

You mean killing same mobs again and again at same maps? sorry, i never play challanges at all when they are over same content. I would love to see more story or longer maps in story at least..

I feel like if there were a level editor and Steam Workshop support for easy sharing, that'd assuage this problem pretty quickly for a lot of people.

Yup. I tend to agree. A little too short for the asking price. Although you CAN get SH for less than $20.00 CAD on alternate web sites. Food for thought. :)

Wait what? I'm about to wrap up the campaign but what exactly is there after that? Timed trials etc?

[Drages]

Challanges with same maps/enemies.. just only for hardcore fans who likes to get most point.. i just tried some but playing every same map with everything exactly same enemies, with some limitations bored me to death in 15 min..

Several unique endless maps. Every level (and endless level) has a secret that can be found to tell more of the story. Challenge modes for different ways to play the game.

SUPERHOT has a decent story, but the story is not the reason to play SUPERHOT. You play it like you would any other puzzler - for the gameplay.

Endless is pointless and boring, but challenges were all awesome (I have yet to finish the one before the last).

Look, the game is all about mechanics - you didn't buy it because you wanted to shoot crystal people. You bought it because it's the most innovative shooter you've played in years :D

Based on that, if you change the mechanics, you get more of what you wanted - several more innovative shooters, played on surprisingly similar maps and looking curiously similar (except 2), but more of what you wanted - doing all kinds of stuff than other shooters provide!

(I certainly do hope they release a free update with more content, I don't think I can ever pass that challenge so it's game over for me :/)

PS. I consider the end of story mode to be cracking all the levels plus witnessing you-know-what gets unlocked then. And that took me around 6 hours (with a small bit of Tree Dude record beating).

PPS. +1 for boss fights, that's something I would pay for as a DLC! (There actually was one boss fight at the end of tutorial, but I'm with you on more classic ones :))

Game sales have corrupted people into thinking they need 100+ hours in a game that costs anything over $10, that isn't a AAA game.

People might not like to hear it but it's the truth. Nowadays people want to gain so much for so little.

I for one appreciate the amount of effort that devs had put into the game (given the concept was newly created at the time of the game jam). The challenges and endless mode as well as other aspects of the game (treedude) are all part of the experience of the game.

People forget that small teams make do with the stuff they have. They would rather demand the game be under $10 regardless of how much content there is.

This also goes hand in hand with reviews. People will be sponge like and believe every word they read about a game and then not take in any other information about the game. For example in Superhot a lot of the reviews peg the ENTIRE game as being 2 or less hours. Then people believe these reviews and refuse to believe it has much more to offer.

These are also the people that demand (in every newly released game discussion forum) for the game to have multiplayer and workshop support. It puts a hell of a lot of pressure on devs nowadays to satisfy these type of people.

Its was disappointed me about the gaming industry over the past 10 or so years.

I don't expect +100 hour game.. i am looking to content of the game and i think it's very easy to create some more of it..

The maps are just flat walls with some simple props without texture and enemies are standart crystals. So you can sit and make a long good map in one day without much effort. You can create some more crystal enemies. Even the simplest puzzle games got something to play and mostly they are very long with many levels, because the material is simple to use, easy to make much more levels..

Devs did not do that at this game. Free content at future? Nice.. but this game is at development for years.. i still can't understand why there is so few maps/enemies to play.

lazy.....
Thats a joke. Watch the old videos, looks much better, more details.
For this price there should be 100 maps.
i mean, look at this maps, everything white, only 1 enemy type, weapon models are also,, lets saay simplified.
Not so much work compared to standart FPS in this price class.
I also like Transformers and other short games , which made for multiple playthrows.
But c´mon, thats really extra short and challanges are for me not the main game. Thats extra content in a normal game

Find all the secrets bro. Lots more content there.

Honestly i think that the story was short for a reason, the way the story was written they have a chance of extending the game story wise either via dlc or via free updating, honestly with that last screen you see after completing the story it leaves alot of room for potentially hours of more story, the devs might have just felt like they needed to atleast realse what they had now for the backers to see what they spent there money on back during there kickstarter phase. Have faith, the game may yet just be unfolding to use now. think about it, after unlocking all the terminals and going ti the ggroups.exe file ingame with the added content, the way the admin is deceptive to the people and how they "sell" the game to the people. That paired with how when you send a message to the email found in the shots level and the fact they respond as if they are the terminals i belive this is only the begining of a take over of the gaming world in massive proportions, that or im just looking wayyyyyy into this as a dev myself and im sounding like those people who wear tinfoil on there heads. I prefer the first outcome but to be honest wouldnt be surprised if the second outcome comes to pass.

I lost faith in post-release content being added a long time ago, I'd believe it when I see it. I might buy this game soon, I'v seen a lot of reviews saying it's short. but I'm open minded. I made a post about wanting to know what's different and what new content there is, (spoiler free). feel free to tell me how wrong I am to be trusting what those reviews say about the content and replayability.

Sonic_RocketPotatoL62 I 100%'d the game with 30+ hours. First off after you beat the main story there's a menu item that gives you more story that most people probably missed (the game only explicitly tells you where to find it after you get all the secrets, but as far as I'm aware you can click it at any time).

As for how I got to 30+ hours it was not by running through the main campaign once. I beat the main campaign in less than 2 hours but found the challenge modes to be really good. Most people see the first 1 or 2 challenge modes and think they're only slight variations on the main campaign but some of them play completely differently (ghost comes to mind).

Endless can also be fun though for me the real meat was in the challenges. As for extra content I trust them, the game came out less than a month and a half ago, don't know how you "lost faith in post-release content a long time ago" (unless you mean for games in general that is).

In fact people hacking the game already managed to gain access to some of the extra content and then they patched the game against the hack.
