Game length?
Any one think this game is going to be extremely short? I'm about 3 hours in, and can't help but feel like I'm over half way down with the game already... I've already seen the (no spoiler) "counter attack masta plan" and have collected all the lasor weapons at about 3 hours in. Also showing about 50% on achievements I believe. $45 for a 6-8 hour game?

The reviews floating around say about 15 hours. I don't know if that is the case though. I have not beaten it and am not that familiar with the achievements.

7hrs sounds about right.

Play for a few more hours and see if you finish it. I do hope the game is longer than 8 hours.

The bought-and-paid-for reviews might say 15hrs. The honest ones say this crapfest is much, much shorter.

Have you already finished it? Thank you for your input anyhow. It's good to hear from people who own the game, and have been playing it since release.

They are honest because they didn't like it? I must be a big fat liar because so far I like this game a lot. I can't wait to get home from work and continue playing. Kotaku said they did it in 13 hours with 4 side missions accomplished. I don't know how many of those there are. Maybe a lot, maybe a little. But full completion, based on that, probably takes around that time.

Did 2K slip you a big wad of cash to publish a positive review? No? Then my post doesn't apply to you.

Go play your game. Seven hours later, when you're done, you can come back here and yell at me.

If it is indeed only 7-8 hours long I'm gonna be so disappointed

Psh, if they were paying, I would take the extra money. I guess it's a good thing I'm not a reviewer. Nah, I'm just kidding. I just don't think that they are paying people so much as people have different opinions.

sh4nk please let us know when you are finished?
Sh4nK Aug 20, 2013 @ 2:04pm 
I'm playing this game because I spent $50 on it and feel obligated to do so, no way I replay it.

I'll post back my final game time.

Man I wish I would of waited two weeks and bought Rome 2

I just finished the game. Granted I only did two side missions but the total playtime was 5 hours and 20 minutes.
