How many hours of gameplay?

[k1Fy]

Hello ! I want to buy this game and I couldn't find how many hours of gameplay this game has on internet. Can someone tell me ? If you can , can you give me more details about the co-op and why it's the game worth buying ? Thankyou !

Well each campaign takes me roughly 40minutes up to an hour and a half depending on difficulty. But Ive played this game for over 200 hours so far and still love it. Co-op is alright, if you have thick skin at first, really its just like any other game with trolls and dbags on it. But i would say wait until it's on sale again, it always goes on sale.

The game has a story, but this doesn't mean it's over after that. It's a multiplayer game - you can play it alone, but it's a lot more fun online. Start slow, though - going into Versus/Scavenge/Survival right away will get you kicked or yelled at almost certainly.

You can either start offline with bots or you can join Coop games on Easy. You'll have to work together in any mode and you'll depend on your teammates and vice versa. Going alone is usually certain death, especially at higher difficulties. It's not impossible, but depending on your experience in First Person Shooters, it will take a considerable amount of time once you get there. So stick with your teammates and don't wander off, especially if you're not familiar with the map.

But wait... there's more: Mutations (modifications of the gameplay, suitable for single and multiplayer), Mods and custom maps with their own set of stories.

If you just want to play the campaigns on Normal, you'll probably be finished in no time (maybe in 12hrs, maybe a little more, maybe less). You gotta pay close attention, though, as the story is not told by the 'game' via cutscenes, but by the conversations of the characters.

Apart from that it all depends on you. I know many people who invested more than 1,000hrs and I'm halfway there and not even remotely bored. So, there is indeed at least a lot of potential, you'll just have to find out if it suits you.

PS: The game is on sale for ~5$ quite often. Do the math :)

ThankYou for telling me this . After what I've read I wasn't going to buy it anymore , but now I think I will . If you know ... How often is on sale ? aprox.

Public games are in most cases full of people who rage all the time and kick you right away when you join a game. However, there are few nice players. If you don't mind those fool players I suggest you to buy this game.

Usually at least 3 times a year (during the annual Summer, Autumn & Winter Sale) - maybe once in between. So there's reason to believe it will go on sale sometime during the month of July.

%90 of the games online end up shutting down due to noobs and team stackers a like rage quitting.

oh my friend has 2000 hours

[Squiffy]

There is no set amount of hours. This game is geared towards co-op teamplay survival through various maps strewn together that make up campaigns. So the replay value negates the whole "hours of gameplay" concept.

[Terrify]

over 1000 houurs in total

It's an awesome game. You need around 100 hours to dont feel like newbie in expert campaign.

Just avoid Versus if you really want to have fun.
