How long for 1st DS3 playthrough?
I'm curious on how long (hours played) people's first DS3 play throughs took? (Please mention if you had played DS1 DS2 previously or not too)

As I've never played it before, or DS1/DS2, but have a bit of spare time over the next few weeks and was thinking about trying a new game. I'd probably want to beat it within the 2 weeks though, since otherwise I might not end up finishing it, so wanna get an idea on whether that'd be realistic or not.

Mine was around 40, I'm pretty experienced with the other Souls games and I was trying to explore thoroughly. I'm proud to say I actually found a few illusory walls all by myself lol.

For the average new player, depending on their skill and how much exploring/rushing they do, it can take between 30 and 60 hours. I've seen a couple people that took 80-90 hours for their first playthrough, but they were REALLY bad and clearly just forcing themselves through the game for the youtube views rather than because they were actually having fun

My very first playthrough was done around the 150th hour or so.

I tried to complete everything, i regulary restarted and most importantly: I constantly PvP'd. The game was freshly released and i had soooooo many fights, it was great.

Mine was around 80 hours until I finished the game solo, stil havent completed The Ringed City and havent found everything I could at Ariandel (I know that are some parts I havent fully explored, the parts where are the giant knights and where that are 3 of these down the pit and a 4th one dont stop snipping).

Played both of the other games first, first run took ~ 40 hours, including time spent farming covenant items because I wanted to 100% the game like I did 1 and 2. Once I got used to the faster combat it wasn’t too bad generally speaking.

If it's your very first Souls game you better plan on 100 hrs.

Must have been around 40 hours. I always try to explore everything. I have played DS1 before.

about 75 hours for me, exploring every area thoroughly, and some grinding here and there. DS1 and DS2 took me 100 hours each on first playthrough.

My first play though took me about 60 hours, but I was done with most of the game content around hour 45. The last 15 and up to my now on that guy of 90 were spent doing PvP, DLC, arena, generally ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around.

DS3 was my first souls game. It took around 50 hours frist play through. Second play through goes a lot faster =). It's not like a typical rpg so to give you a tip level your vigor, and endurance. Damage isn't that important in the early game.

40 Hours with no pvp, used some summons with certain bosses but did most lords of cinders by myself.
