Elden Ring main game content is 30 hours long

Tell us how you really feel about the ps5.

Ghost is that you? WORST GAME EVAAAAAA

That sounds about right for a open world game, if you just mainline the story.

@mesome713: Trolling along again I see huh

@girlusocrazy:

You don't need anything,just move that hook away from your tonsils,it must have went in pretty far when you chomped on it 🤣

@simple-facts: hah

DS3 even including side content and DLC is about 30-35 hours when you know where you're going so this sounds right, and the open world means there's dozens of hours more to explore otherwise this time around. Frankly though length on it's own has always been a meaningless statistic. What matters is the value provided in each hour.

@girlusocrazy:

Your coughs cleared up,you must have took my advice.

Wriggling around in the landing net is futile.

🤣

That probably doesn't include the number of times you die and retry, which would double the length.

That is very reasonable, especially for just the main portion without the side content.

Lol, I see that you like the girl in the video.

30 hours is a great length for the main part of the game.

It's fine by me. I already have too many overly large games in my backlog anyway. Honestly, I'd be happy if Elden Ring's story was even 15 hours.

Christ, imagine spending hundreds of hours playing AC games....by choice. Yuck.

U guys got bad taste. AC games are one of the best games in the industry.

@Jag85: Triple or quadruple the the time for me...😬

You have to actually read the whole interview. 30 hours is just the main line. Several dozens of more hours on top of that, the dev said. In the same paragraph...

@tiklandian: It’s 30 hours without using the horse or fast travel. Don’t fall for their BS. Wait for discount.

Metroid Dread clearly showed how a short game can be really good. What matters in the end is fun per hour.

@Maroxad: let’s hope so, cause 10 hours for an open world game sucks.

How are people confused about this - most open world games have a main story in the 15-30 hour range. You could easily sink 80+ hours into them (and this, surely). Take any example you want - TW3, whatever. The main story is relatively concise. The meat of the game is all the side adventures. A main story longer than 30 in this type of game would be worrisome - probably massively padded out bullshit or a game better suited for a more linear experience

Might just be the last developer that's safe to pre-order from, and I've already got mine.

Going to bump this thread when it comes out so a lot of people can eat-crow.

And I thought people in political-gamers had poor reading comprehension. SW fail.

30 hours without horse pr fast travel?? Geeze, they really cut back on content didn't they? That's about 20 hours with horse. Heck, halo infinite was longer than that.

Shameful for an rpg game to get beaten by an fps in length.

Infinite is equal to CoD in length.

A 30 hour Main Story isnt a 30 hour long game. It is EXTREMELY likely people will be pursuing side content. If you just include hte main content, most open world games are around 10 hours long.

Odds are most content in this game iwll be side content, like it is with most other open world games. Breath of the Wild has around 180 hours of Content for a completionist run. But the game was first beaten around 2 hours after it launched.

As far as I am concerned, making game extending stuff side content is a good thing. I just hope that what is there, is worthwhile. And not throwaway stuff.

Notice how every illiterate on the PG board has just as dumb takes on that board as they do here?

Where are people getting this from? That isn't mentioned in this interview at all?

He is doing his best to bash the game. Leave him alone.

It's not. Infinite is substantially longer.

Nice try. The only way it'd be longer is if you do the generic side stuff. Its a 6-8h long game.

Negative. I have about 4 hours in for multiplayer. I have 45 hours in for campaign. Completed campaign, have half the skulls, all the armor lockers, all the spartan cores, and forerunners archives. I still need to get half of the propaganda towers and quite a few audio logs.

YOU HAVE.

Its a sub 10h long game, just like CoD. On normal, if you're any competent, its probably close to 5 and half than 8.

If you don't want to play the entire game, sure you can speed run through it. I can get through the entire HZD campaign in 1 to 2 hours and skip 95% of it. That's exciting.

Its just like Elden Ring people are bitchin about. 30h for its campaign is the same as 6-8h for Infinite's campaign. You can do the god awful side content in Infinite, and that will give you another 15 maybe 20h. You can also do the incredible side content of Elden Ring and that's another 100h+. Its that simple, Kvally.

You finished Infinite there sporto?

No, just read 5 plus reviews stating what i did. You're just in denial.

No

Dozens of reviews prove you wrong. Stop being in denial. The faster you accept the game being on par with CoD when it comes to the campaigns length, the better you will feel when going to sleep.

But I am not wrong. How does one be wrong about something when that something is factual?

Thanks to the semi-open world in "Halo Infinite," players' time spent with the campaign may vary wildly. However, a number of reviews of the game have managed to narrow that window of time down quite a bit. According to the Washington Post's Gene Park, it took him roughly 12 hours to complete the story campaign — at which point he learned that he'd only unlocked about 35% of what the game had to offer. The review written by Aris Notis from Kotaku reported a similar runtime, with Notis' run clocking in at 11 hours and 33% completion.

"Halo Infinite" contains a good amount of side content, including outposts to reclaim from the Banished and High-Value Targets (essentially overpowered enemies lurking in the wild) to hunt down. Players who want to check out every side mission and find every easter egg can probably expect somewhere between 30-40 hours of gameplay.

Unless you don't obtain all of the audio files, you don't get to experience the entire campaign story.

Stop stealing my shit. Its mine.

Elden Ring will easily show us what BOTW could be if it had engaging combat. I hope many Zelda/Switch fans give it shot. They'll probably realize how shallow the combat mechanics of BOTW are when they return.

What do you think of this? They said it was designed to be less stressful, but not less difficult.

It looks like they tighten up the visuals.

Sweet spot... (as long as the content is good)
