Season 1 was WAY too short

[Gamer Mickey]

After finishing all 5 episodes my total playtime is 9 hours? And even that was with watching the first "Batman Unmasked" video.

That is way too short, even for a Telltale game. My other recent Telltale experience, Game of Thrones, lasted 18 hours.

Episode 4 took me just over an hour to finish. Telltale need to make Season 2 longer, this is just lazy.

do you think is easy to make these kind of games ? where everything you do can lead to a diffrent end or somewhere else ?

It is when your entire 5 episode season lasts 9 FRIGGIN HOURS.

Don't defend lazy developers. This is the shortest game in my ENTIRE steam library, which includes another TellTale game (Game of Thrones) I might add, so I do know about these games, I also played The Walking Dead Season 1 on my old Xbox 360.

Both Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead Season 1 lasted a LOT longer than this. Game of Thrones also got 6 episodes where as for Batman they made only 5 episodes, one of which (Epiosde 4) lasted for just over an hour!!!

Absolute joke. This is short by TellTale standards, let alone anything else.

Its not easy, but telltale showed that its possible with all of their other games. This was the most underwhelming game they released IMO.

Lazy... seems like a bold claim. 9 Hours of gameplay seems like more than enough.

Really? Can you explain why The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones are both longer then?

9 hours is nothing.

Tales from the borderlands took me 10 hours and that was a good game so one hour less is not a problem in my eyes.

Dunno about Game of Thrones but Walking Dead had such a large playtime because there was a lot of puzzle solving and conversation.
All of Batman's "problem solving" was pretty straight forward.

I won't say season 1 is a complete game, this feels like an introduction that established the characters and presented the villan. 9 hours is not necessarily short, but things are progressing very slowly here, and we will have to wait for season 2 to get to the juicy part, and the writers did this because they know there will be season 2.
But the villan in this season does feel a bit underwhelming, they could be given more depth rather than merely being the tool to bring out Bruce's past.

I own alot of Telltale games, and 9 hrs isn't unfair. Heck, there are other interactive games that lasts for less than 9 hrs like Firewatch.

Look at it this way, you've bought the game on discount, and you got 9 hrs of entertainment outta it. If you want to support the game, you can buy season two if/when it gets released.

Telltale is picking up more properties that they're developing for. I fully expect every newer season for any of their games to be shorter. Season 3 of Walking Dead had a really short first episode. They've also got the Avengers title they're working on.

You can play it again if you want
