Estimated play time?

[Hooch]

Anyone know approximately how long the game is? 5-8 hours? 10+?

Also, there isn't much replay value in the game as I understand it, is that correct?

[Randy Poostain :)]

DEV's have said around 6 hours without exploring.

6 hours is a stretch, its more like 4, remmeber this is a indie game

Kotaku: I finished Firewatch in around four hours. That was by running most places, exploring the more obvious “secret” locations for story stuff and making sure I picked up every empty beer can I came across. Someone rushing straight through the main story could probably wind it all up in around three hours, while someone obsessed with finding all of the game’s secrets—and there are many—might double my playtime, if only because they can’t fast travel around the map.

Yeah my guess is somewhere around 4-8 depending on your play style. If you rush through, you could get through it in about 4 and if you are meticulous in searching every nook and cranny about 8. That is also not taking into consideration that there is encouraged replayability to have different styles of dialog between the two characters.

You don't own it, and they haven't release a full copy to anyone, so you're lying is pointless.

I expect to get 10+ hours from it, as my play style is to go slowly and explore A LOT. I don't understand people who tear through a game as quickly as possible, like it's a race, then complain about its short length. Enjoy!

You are stupid right ? He was just stating a review from KOTAKU ,.... oh my god.

[BogusMeatFactory]

I think everyone is a bit on edge because of the recent trolls. He wasn't trying to bash the game and was just quoting kotaku's experience.

That is actually the most hilarious thing read today.

[Randy Poostain :)]

my bad.

Nah, happens.

Anyway, 4+ hours playtime, not a problem as I see it. Just hope it to be really exiting 4+ hours, and looking forward to playing the sh*t out of the game.

Around the length of a typical CoD/BF Campaign.

He's quoting Kotaku, it says in the very beginning of his post. Take a chill pill.
