120 hours of gametime? seriously?

[prusswan]

I sure hope it is not about farming materials with 0.01% drop rate to craft my endgame wand :x

[dafter]

Right?

[ShockedHearts]

it took the developers around 80 hours to beat the game fully (all side quests and main story quests and activities) with minor mucking about, so 120 is likely an estimate for someone going in blind and taking their time

also do realize that just because a game is x amount of hours long doesnt mean you cant replay it have post game content, etc

according to multiple sources (can't find the very first one though):

... Hogwarts Legacy's lead designer, Kelly Murphy, is saying it'll be more like 100 to 120 hours to 100% the game.

"So we are finding it is hard to put a number on, just based on playstyles. But for a first-time playthrough, if you just go through the mainline, you are looking at a 40-hour-plus experience. If you decide that you want to do everything, you are at over 100 hours, 120 hours probably."


personally I am fine with the 40 hours mainline (in line with usual estimates) but most people will be hyped by the 120 hours claim

I wish. You'll spend 90% of that time completing mind numbing repetitive tasks to clear your cluttered ass world map. "Align 100 magical doodads." - "Collect 200 shrubs." - "Clear 1000 evil gnome dens."

It really is the absolute worst place on the internet. It makes early Blizzard forums and subs look like choir practice.

You don't have to convince ME, I've already pre-ordered.

i feel like its going to be a harry potter themed ubisoft game.

Weird, last time I heard devs talking about the completion time for the game they said 75h for everything and 35 for the story

I'm not trying to dissuade anyone, I just like to temper my expectations. Most open world games have mind numbing activities.

Seeing as there is no ingame real money stire thats a major plus in my book.

post game content is just code for grinding the same content indefinitely.

grinding in a harry potter game sounds silly.
