When a developer says their game is x hours long, the real amount of hours is x/2. So we're looking at a 5 hour game, unless that guy, somehow, has escaped 101 tactics in interviews.
[QUOTE="Adziboy"]When a developer says their game is x hours long, the real amount of hours is x/2. So we're looking at a 5 hour game, unless that guy, somehow, has escaped 101 tactics in interviews. All games are shorter if you don't pay attention. My first play through on GoW from the Collection I took my time since it had been years since I had last played it. Almost 9 hours later I had beaten it. Second playthrough for trophy clean up was just under 4 hours.
10 hours sounds great, I play slowly so that will mean minimum 10 hours for meDangerHiVoltage
Trust me GoW will be around 15. Stig or the Game Director I forget his name, said GoW3 will be longer than GoW & shorter than 2 so i'm betting on around 15 hours which is awesome is true.
People seem to forget that play time is different for everyone. I remember Dark Cloud 2 boasted something like 80 hours of play...I did it in like 45, with everything seen and done. Dragon Age: Origins has been said to have 60 - 80 hours of content, without any DLC. I just beat it for the first time on normal, did almost all of the side quests, at 44 hours. I also initiated as much conversation as possible, and never skipped a scene or dialogue.
Basically, it's different for everyone. And never, ever believe what a developer says, or what's printed on the box concerning how long the game is in hours. It's almost always false, even by the "different for everyone" standard.
I'll be taking my time with this game so i'm sure i'll take over 10 hours, not including mulitple playthroughs on harder difficulties to experience the awesome over and over.
10 hours for a GoW game is about 30+ for me. I like to take my time exploring the first time around and I'm sure I'll give it a go at least two or three more times after my initial playthrough. I'm the guy who played MGS4 over a dozen times and Demon's Souls 6.
God of War 3 will have more awesomeness in 10 minutes than most other games manage in their entirety. Over 10 hours is almost too much to handle. I CAN'T TAKE IT! Lol.
1 player games arent worth over $30 with the exception of the following games 1. GTA series- 4 sucked but i would of bought it during its launched period if i had PS3 then 2. MGS1- Top to Bottom this game blew me away and i hated these type of games back in the day. My 1st play through i beat it leaving with Octocon. then i was told you could of save Meryl and which i did.

Though there's a couple of things just plain wrong about that, I agree that single player games are going to need an oomph these days, since online availabiltiy is so easy. Though God of War 3 has an enormous fan base as well as a huge amount of hype surrounding it. It won't hurt for sales, that's for sure.

I got more enjoyment out of games like Bioshock and Assassins Creed 2 than I did with any online game. It all comes down to preference. I don't like online MP very much. I'd much rather have an awesome single player game, and I happily pay good money for them.
It really depends on how fast a person plays. 10 hours of GoW 3 is good for me. I'm the type of person who takes their time and admire the game itself, instead of just rushing through it.

A waste of $60 in my opinion

Whether it's a waste or not depends on how much money you have and how long you spend gaming each day. $60 isn't a huge amount of money to me. Plus, it usually takes me a lot longer than two days to beat a game. I've owned Bayonetta since launch and I'm only half way through it. I suppose you would get through games pretty fast if you spent 10 hours a day playing them.

I'm a big fan of quality over quantity. I'd gladly pay $60 for an amazing 10 hour experience over a 200+ hour frag fest filled with screaming children and glitchers.

couldnt agree more. and besides, gameplay times are not exact. everyone goes through the game at a different pace. some are speed freaks and like to blaze through levels focussing only on the goals at hand or others (like myself)are exploring every nook of this new world im running a muck in and enjoy the subtle nuances and details that the developers want us to take the time and appreciate what they made.
