I've only just started the game but it sounds like I only have 8 hours before Russia destroys another city.... Would be Silly then if I ended up playing for 40 hours

whats sad is people who look at the in game timer and believe it.

If you believe a timer that tells you you played 4 hours but you spent 8-10 hrs counting retries and cut scenes, then you have a problem keeping track of time

As said, it's because of how they total your "play time"
They don't include deaths or cutscenes so people think it was a lot shorter than it actually was.

To put it one way, if you did that with a game like MGS, most people's final playtimes would be around 3-5 hours.

I am not sure if its you kids having alot of free time or something, but it took me a month to beat this game, with my work schedule I always used to play at least 3 hours a weak , I started this game on normal so I don't finish it as fast as people told me they do, I only died 5 times the whole game and I found it to be quite decent in it's length for a game, took me around 10 hours to beat. 5 acct with 3 missions each, again not as short as people had me believe

My only complain with the game that is very VERY repetitive, I mean god I never like GOW for that reason, you walk you shoot, next target, open door shoot till the game is done


I agree I didn't like it too, i think the fans love it because of the combos and moves, i'm not interested in that. get Binary Domain, it will make you love the genre.

i guess you're just really bad at the game. it takes ~6 hours to beat. i played it on the hardest difficulty available by default (i forget which that is) and it was still really short. it also wasn't that fun; it had its moments, but it was still a short, linear 3rd person shooter with no co-op, no competitive multiplayer, etc.



The hardest difficulty setting isn't available by default tho. It has to be unlocked. You are probably thinking of Hard Mode, which actually isn't hard. I beat Hard Mode in one sitting without ever being killed. The Hardest Mode is much much harder than Hard Mode. In fact, it is one of the hardest Difficulty Settings I have ever faced. It makes Master Ninja look like a cake walk. The only Difficulty Setting that beats it is DMD


So I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but you didn't beat it on the hardest setting. Either you have a terrible memory, or are just plain lying

Or maybe he just meant the hardest difficulty setting that was available when he started a new game?

At three hours a week, any game can be considered long.

It's still an illogical way to ascertain the quality of a game. He basically went on to say that the game had no replay value, which is absolutely untrue. I feel sorry for him and anyone else who thinks this way about action games. They are completely missing the point of these games

The only thing that the length of a game effects is how much I'm willing to pay for it.

Exactly. I can take metal gear rising and play for 20 minutes a day and pad it out for a month but it doesnt change the fact that its a very short experience. Same goes for Vanquish
