17 hours sounds like a nice meaty campaign length to me

Yeah that's pretty decent considering there's probably side content to explore

Is 17 hours to do everything or to just focus the main story and ignore all side content, which would add dozens more hours to do?

Apparently it's about 30-35 hours with the side stuff.

45-50 hours sounds pretty underwhelming for a game with this much hype

I like games that you can play for hundreds of hours too, that doesn't mean that a game that only lasts for 30 something hours is inherently bad. I'm assuming it's going to have pretty high replayability as well, so it'll probably end up more like 100+ hours for people who really like the game.

fwiw they said it would be smaller than the witcher 3 and not to expect that again

99% of reviewers are saying they completed it in 35-50 hours which includes the main and enough of the side quests that they naturally progressed to the end.

Yeah, 30 hours is where I generally put my cutoff for paying a full $60 for a game. A game like this one, where I'm likely to do one playthrough as a stealthy type and one playthrough as a brute, makes the cut with no question.

If literally the only thing you do is main campaign, don't explore, and don't touch side quests, it's still 3 times the length of a $60 Resident Evil game. So yes, it's worth it.

I liked Witcher 3 overall, but the main campaign was full of this type of stuff, and I got to be pretty old

Pong.

The story mode is super repetitive, multiplayer is where it's at.

Its amazing to me that gamers see 9 years of development to make a 17 hour campaign

and the immediate reaction is to criticize, complain, bitch and whine

People have a better understanding that movies take a considerable amount of time to create, animate and render

How to train a dragon took 90 Million CPU hours to render (http://venturebeat.com/2014/07/25/dragon-making-main/).

But gamers are so fuckin ignorant to the their own hobby that they criticize developers for putting so many man hours into creating hours of entertainment. And as if there is some arbitrary number of hours in their mind that they need to fulfil.

Whenever people critique the prices of video games it baffles me. The hours that go into developing a video game and the costs involved makes $60-70 well worth it. The developers depend on more than $60 to recoup what theyve put into making a game.

yeah that really matters a lot after you finish it over the weekend and forget you ever even played it a week later

If there's plenty of quality side content, and/or the game offers a ton of replayability through said side content or entirely different ways of playing the game, you're going to get a lot more longevity out of it.
then that means the game isn't short. i don't itemize main and side content.
