"This will differ significantly by player but in terms of targets set during development, the idea is that the main route should be able to be completed within around 30 hours," Kitao said. "The game as a whole is quite massive, and contains many dozens more hours worth of gameplay but if we are talking about the main route only, it shouldn't take much longer than that."

Thats probably fine We need to move away from the idea that every games main scenario needs to take 60+ hours to finish.

I want to play this, but I really think I should wait until I get a current gen console... which I have no plans at all to do.

I mean, you could beat all the weapons and Ganon in far less time if you do just that in BotW.

Unacceptable. Pre order returned.

That should be the length of the tutorial, not the game.

So, like Elder Scrolls, if you sit there with a guide, then you can run through the main story relatively quickly with minimal exploration or getting lost.

Eh, 30 hours is a lot of gameplay for a main quest line.

Agreed

padding is the worst thing happening to gaming rn and its this dumb attitude that games have to give you some raw amount of hours for your money, as though there are any other forms of entertainment that are similar

Glad to hear it's not bloated with a whole bunch of unnecessary bullshit. I have a feeling this game will be very replayable for different builds as well.

Edit: Plus we can expect some fire DLC when it comes to From games.

I dont think I play any Ubisoft games, but its the metric Ive always gone for. Why would you be okay paying $60-70 for something thats only 30 hours? The longer the better. You can usually beat a campaign in 20-40 hours depending on whether you do optional stuff anyway.

I usually find that I spend 3x whatever the suggested time is on a game. With FROM games at least. Then I play various builds for about 18 months.

Considering how many hours I've put into other Soulsborne games, a 30 hour main campaign seems almost excessive. I'll get hundreds of hours out of it, no doubt.

Am I missing something here? I've basically gone through the first playthrough of every From game in about 30 hours. Why is this an issue?

Dark Souls takes a few hours if you blow through it. You're supposed to take your time and explore in these kinds of games.

Probably take me like 3 years to beat lol games are too long nowadays. 10-15 hours is the perfect length for me.

So play the side content?

I'd rather a great 20-30 hour game personally. Most games that are longer do not justify that much of a commitment.

30 hours is pretty good, I think it took me about that long to beat the 3 Dark Souls games and Bloodborne, being pretty thorough

Subsequent playthroughs with different builds are usually a little quicker

I probably would just never beat them tbh. I'd end up setting them aside at some point around 10-15 and forget about them.
