Campaign only 7-8 hours long?

[StuartAce]

Apparently some streamer just finished the campaign in 6 hours.
He skipped cutscenes, and did no side content, but even adding 2 hours for cutscenes (and i doubt the main campaign has 2 hours of cutscenes), you are talking a 8 hour campaign.
Yes the game has side content, and yes some content opens up in the Endgame, but man 7-8 hours for the main campaign is a little dissapointing, especially for this day and age.
We arent in the 360/PS3 era anymore, thought we had got past these short campaigns.

Well yeah skipping cutscenes and ignoring all side content along the way. Basically just speedrunning the campaign its going to feel pretty short.

Plus what is his world tier? If he keeps it low it will be a lot easier.

I'm not defending this game but long campaigns in Shooters is just a chore. Give me my open world, my quests, my chase items and my uninterrupted multiplayer. I don't need badly scripted dialogue and forced cut scenes or a bunch of loading screens as I map hop from mission to mission. In a game that had a more original premise, maybe more story would be cool but this is just another take on Destiny/Remnant/etc. I doubt the story is more than a tool for showing you what mechanics, levels and boss types there are.

I mean if one rushes like there's no tomorrow, then sure it can be cut by many hrs... Same way Dark Souls or any other game can be speed run.

Bro, ps5 launched in november of last year. I think you wanted to say ps3, and even then games had a longer main story.

I respect my place as a minority of players but even in ARPGs I love the story, world building, and cut scenes. Love it in these sort of games too. But like I said, I acknowledge my position is totally not the general consensus but I always found it amusing to see such a polar take.

Yeah lol we are indeed in the era of the ps5, do you come from the future ?.

Why are you listening to some basic speedrunners playthrough of the game, and looter shooter games dont even really start until endgame.

[Destructus]

Everything I’ve read says the campaign is around 30 hours

It probably is if you go through some of the side content along the way and watch every cutscene. Even most games with "lengthy" campaigns can be beaten in a few hours if speedran ignoring a lot of other things.

Guys you cant really use the speedrunners excuse when the game is brand new, unless the streamer is psychic or something.

Maybe its just me, i'm just so used to games like The Division 2 taking 80 hours to finish etc.

People speedrun through content on new games/expansions/dlcs all the time.
