So that's 10 hours for the general public and 7-8 for the really hardcore gamers. A slight improvement I suppose.

Mindlessly killing a bunch of enemies isin't my idea of fun. They should've put in classes for more variety.

hahah, no way is that going to happen

heveanly sword was going to be 10-12 hours, ended up being less than 6

Uncharted, 12-15 hours

ended up being 8

there were soooo many others this gen. that were supposed to be in that same time frame, i just dont believe this and will just think its a lie till its actually proven when it comes out

+Multiple difficulties (got to play on the hardest setting really have you not?) and at the end of the day the major selling point will be multiplayer, over 10 hours for single player is fair enough if you can back it up with great multiplayer.

"A test of survival"

Exactly why I call it mindless killing. Epic was pretty smart to do this because they basically don't have to put any effort into making something new, instead of having new storylines or some variety, they can give you thousands of monsters to shoot. And fans will gulp it down like it's something new.

Regardless, i'm sure the SP and MP will be awesome. I just hate how people praise horde mode so much.

12 hours for a shooter is pretty damn good imo...otherwise stuff becoems really repetitive unless the story is really engaging (which i doubt for this)

Lets see, avg movie 2hrs in length give or take, about $10 to go see one depending... $60 to see 12 hours of movies roughly, not as many extras as a video game and have to pay again to watch em again.

Good deal for entertainment INMYOPINION.

6-10 hours would be fine with the amount of other stuff in there.

5 player co-op with horde
2 player co-op
Multiplayer
And for those that don't like to play against other people or dont have XBL there is Bots for the multiplayer aspects of the game so you are good either way.

You usually subtract 20%-30% of how long they say the game will last and that will be the true total of hours it takes to finish the game.

Isn't that just the 360 page of Gamespy? like xbox.ign.com?

also 12-15 means 10 hours:P

as expected..

Yep, you basically have to pause for 10 mins everytime you beat a chapter for it to be the actual length.

Great news, this is all that I asked for with this game. If I can squeeze out even 10 hours in the campaign, then I will be completely satisified. As it is without question going to be fantastic.

Its what they do with it that counts.

Gears was short, but i'd say it was about the right length. As much as it was great, I didn't think it needed to be much longer, as it did get a little samey for me. The best part IMO was the kryl (sp?) level, when you had to light the way and stay out of the dark.

I really wish games these days were more longer these days.

However Mr Bear does feel he'll need to renew his Gold account again, because he begs to mutilate his foes online in wonderous fashion with a satisfying and terr-ific Rawr! to accompany it as he punches the face of some hapless sap. :D That and he can't wait to try out Horde mode with some pawns... err I mean friends.... :D

Mr Bear hopes at least the Single player mode is satisfying enough and doesn't end in some Halo 2 cliffhanger or some sort to make you go "Damn now I have to get the next game, because of this unfulfilling ending that screams "Buy the next game you dirty ho!" : (

[QUOTE="EuroMafia"]As expected really.carljohnson3456

do i see raam's replacement in you're sig? :P

Nope, this is the Kantus. Skorge is Raams replacement.

I think RAAM looks scarier than both Kantus and Skorge.

Is Kantus the one that revives dead Locusts??? I think that whole idea is super lame, although I know I'll love the game.

yeah thats the one. WHy you think its lame?

Because, it's such a tired idea, and just so unoriginal. And besides, they couldnt come back to life in the first one. Why can they in this one? There was no real super natural twist like that in the first one... why this one?

That part of the Locust army was brute force, as it mirroreit's leader Raam.

This part of there Army is led by the Locust priest Skorge, and his Kantus underlings. so it's more magical, then the straight foward Raam side.

Gamespy is an xbox 360 site now? :|

That's a /post

That's a good length to, 12-15 hours though I expect it to be more like 10-12 on normal, 8-10 on casual, and 12-15 on hardest.

At least I know it's longer than GeoW1, that game was so short. As long as its about 8-10 hours which I think it will really take to beat the game, it's good enough for me. To think it's possibly twice as long as it took me to beat the first is great too as long as it doesn't get repetitive which it probably won't since I'll probably only play coop. Wait will length be shortened drastically with coop!!?

Yeah so i would actually expect to the game to be this long. BTW, I think this a is a good length. Only games I like long are RPG's if they can keep the excitement going.

Personally I wouldnt want it to be any longer then that. I actually thought the first gears was a good length. I beat the game on all 3 difficulty settings, co op, mp. The game was more then worth the price. You dont want a game to drag on and on, I felt Halflife 2 dragged on and on, even though I enjoyed the game I think making a game to long hurts replay value.

If you think the GeOW multiplayer is terrible why drop $60 on it? That's all I'm saying. I really wanna play through the single-player though.
