HOLY CRAP Heavenly Sword only 6 hours long!!!

True again, but whether you hated it or not, Gears had replay value because of its multiplayer. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Heavenly Sword has no multiplayer.

[QUOTE="Heith"][QUOTE="briguyb13"][QUOTE="Heith"][QUOTE="briguyb13"]Ladies and gentlemen this is the kind of thing I was worried about for this gen. The games will be beautiful, shiny and bright, but at the expense of depth. A lot of the devs forgot about what makes a game good. They are thinking about moving hdtv's and concerned about new formats. It looks like Nintendo had the crystal ball. Ninpo_Osa

6 hours is too short.. but it's the same exact time as Gears of War and Gears was still a good game.Don't give me that "but gears has online" because the online was AVERAGE at best. Heavenly Sword has a ton of replay value to me though.D3monchicken

Gears of war is 10hours and have a really fun MP + coop ( offline and online ) .

I hope that's the case, but now I don't know how such different numbers (6 hours compared to 12-15) can be made

what he is trying to say is that we have two reviews saying that they have played the game and they both say its around 6-7 hours so i would take the word of people who actually played the game more than an article that was submitted 21 days ago.

Developers ALWAYS exaggerate. Trust the reviewer.

The devs said Bioshock was a 20 hour game. It's more like 15. (fantastic 15 hours, for the record, but it's still not as long as they said).

6 hours, no multiplayer = $20-$30 maxDoctorBunny

Ive spend about 18 hours in bioshock and I still haven't finish it yet . I guess it is 20 hours if u take time to explore everything .

And to my surprise it got a 7.0 at IGN. WOW..Well IGN and GS are different when it comes to rating so we should wait and see if GS is more fair or will give a worse rating.

6 hours?! That is pretty short. 6 hours = rental.Wanderer5

Rent it for a day, you go through twice lol.

6 hours is too short.. but it's the same exact time as Gears of War and Gears was still a good game.Don't give me that "but gears has online" because the online was AVERAGE at best. Heavenly Sword has a ton of replay value to me though.D3monchicken

Gears took me 8 hours, and I didn't take my time (nor rush). I then played it again with a friend, and then again on the next difficulty, and again on the next. I also enjoyed the online a good bit until I got sick of the lack-of-balance in the weapons.

And I wasn't even going for the achievements like some people.

No, gears on Insane is 15-20 hours, not to mention multiplayer is really great.

wow, even the SP campiagn for FPS games are longer.wok7

That is what I think makes it so bad actually. FPS shooters can always get away with being shorter more than a game that is supposed to be an epic action/adventure. It should match God of War's length at the very least considering what type of game this is.

I still cannot wait to play it, but this is very disappointing to say the least. No game that is supposed to be an epic action adventure can have much substance to it if it is only roughly 6 hours long.

DID U JUST HEARD WHAT U SAID???????!!!!!!!! U HAVENT EVEN PLAYED THE GAME, LET ALONE JUDGE ITS REPLAYABILITY.

COW LOGIC AT ITS BEST.

the reviews also say that the combat gets really old really fast, so maybe the game is just long enough, or too long maybe. :?GunSmith1_basic

I was severly dissappointed with the demo.

Ever thought to think that becauseif he just so happened to think that the demo itself had good replay value, that he might think the whole game will have even more?

Yeah, but I don't think a demo is enough to tell you wether a game has much replayability or not, you know?

So I don't know if you've heard about this or not, but I just watched IGN's video review of the game and they said that the game is only about 6 hours long! WTF!!! NextGen86

Well, as a previous poster put it:

They just want to finish making this game to get started on a sequel.ginglejangle

:shock:

12-15 hours http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-56824.aspx

Ninja theory developer working on the upcoming playstation 3 exclusive title , Heavenly sword have confirmed that, Heavenly Sword will clock in around 12-15 hours of gameplay mayhem.

Dont exaggerate. Gears is not six hours long. >_>

GoW My god it was just as long and fun as hell. I remember GoW one. I beat it back to back when I rented it. Then when I bought it. I beat it back to back again.mgszelda1

God of War has about 10-12 hours of gameplay easily, man. A 4-6 hour difference is pretty signifigant, especially for an action/adventure game. I have been hyped for this game as well, even predicted a 9.0 score for it. But, I am also a realist, and 6 hours for an epic action/adventure flat out sucks.

BTW, nice avatar, lol.

How long is GOW's gameplay? Or GOW2kcpp2b

The first one is about 10 hours, the second I think is around 12.

GeOW took me longer than 6 hours to beat, especially on insane.

General Friggen' Ramm took me 30 tries before i beat him on insane. I hate that damn boss!

Love the way General Ram OWNED Lt Kim. Shanked him up, pulled him closer so that would be the last thing he ever saw then tossed him like he was.....garbage... :lol:

From the IGN UK Review on length and pacing:

For instance, it's a serious misstep when the strongest aspect of your game - sword play - is sidelined for almost 50 percent of its runtime. The very first level employs a massively hobbled version of the combat system which simply has none of the visceral thrill or satisfaction of the fully-fledged engine. Throw in the decision to completely remove sword fighting again in chapter three (of six, one of which is simply a boss fight), replaced by some over-egged archery, then cripple it later still with some pretty but soulless silliness, and it adds up to maybe three to four hours of decent combat in a game which takes a rather embarrassing, and distinctly un-epic, six or seven hours to beat.

The cutscenes are raved about though, as that is the only place you see some of the famed facial animations.

For a 12 - 15hours game it sound like IGN must have really rush through it if they beat it in 6 hours, which I don't think reviewers rush(or at least really rush)through games.

Lol BLU RAY WILL MAKE GAMES 100+ Hours!=)

Thats preatty damn long for a game with bland enviroments and broken gameplay.

I predict another Flop for PS3 on GS.
