Deus Ex Length?

So I am contemplating pre-ordering Deus Ex... I have never played any Deus Ex game before so I don't know what past games were like story and length wise so I was just curious if any reviews have stated how long the game is or if any of you know what to expect length wise?

Thanks

20-30 hours at max.

My last playthrough was 36 hours according to steam, but I guess I was kind of taking my sweet time about it.

I'm currently playing Deus Ex (which is fantastic btw), everything I've heard about the second one is extremely negative. Even makers agreed that it wasn't a worthy sequel. Judging by all the hate for Deus Ex 2, I'm guessing they aren't going to make a huge story connection between Deus Ex 2 and Deus EX 3. Is this safe to assume or should I play Deus Ex 2 as well for story purposes?

Fudge guess I should have specified, I mean the new one... Human Revolution...

I think the Tom guy who reviewed it for PC gamer said it took him 23 hours.

It's a long game, I think it has 16 levels.

Worth every minute you play it.

I've played DXIW several times. It is a good game. Not as good as the first one, but still worth playing.

Do you think they'll make significant connection between the IW and HR?

Do you guys understand that HR is a prequel to the original Deus Ex?

I actually didn't know that lol. I haven't really made an effort to keep up with the game until recently, but it looks really great... too bad I'm going on vacation the same week it releases :x

Dang, thats interesting. Thats a pretty decent length. I might get it sooner rather than later. Anyone know if its a demanding game to run?Gamesterpheonix

It makes my PC pur. That's about it.

It lacks graphics options. DX11 and Shadows is about as far as it goes.

My Quad i5 and GTX460 handled it pretty well.

[QUOTE="Arthur96"]

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"] The reccomended requirements are a quad core and a 5850, it uses dx11 for a few things including character tessellation.ferret-gamer

I have an inside source. I beat the game already.

Just a note: All preview gameplay length data is based on the Review/Preview build which ends after completing the first hub of Detroit. That is only ~1/4 to 1/3 of the games total content [if not less]. So, if it takes people an average of 20 hours to complete just the preview build, you can at least double it [to be pessimistic] to come up with a general idea of how long the game will be. There will, of course, be people who don't bother looking around for secondary missions and get through it faster [and then complain that it wasn't long enough to be worth its price].carlosjuero

Jesus how much do I have to say this. The game was 25 hours long for me. Ugh.

As in the entire game. From start to finish.

Edit: Also - since the game is not officially released the only method of obtaining it would be via unauthorized means. Pretty sure GameSpot doesn't condone those unauthorized means.

Yeah and I assume people who review games early also use unauthorized means...

Knowing people in gaming companies can be handy at times.

I'm hopping for 30-40 hours. If not, will probably rent it. It's the type of games/atmosphere I love but from majority of previews it sounded more like shooter and not much of an RPG.

Now, different people have different perspectives on what RPG consist off. In my case, I need to see more of the game to shell out money on it. I enjoy longer RPG's. 15-20 hours isn't worth my money. That belongs to rent section. ;)

around 30 hours one of the devs said in a video. Could be a little more or a little less depending on the player.
