HOLY CRAP Heavenly Sword only 6 hours long!!!

That game has been in development for quite some time, so its possible that this is the intended length.

I don't know much about the game as I never played it, or own a PS3, but some games have been designed to be played through to completion quite quickly but have tons of replay value. Star Fox 64 is an example although I accept it is completely different.

Only problem is that according to IGN mostly all of the battles take place in an arena type setting.. so there's no forward progression. And they also say the combat is flawed in that fact that there's no block button(you're character blocks attacks only if she' s in the proper stance to counter the enemy.. LAME!!!) Not to mention most of the extras can be downloaded over PSN for free.. completely negating any reason to replay the game... Well that's just according to IGN.. we'll see what GS says..

if this is the only reason it's getting bad reviews, then I might pick it up afterall.

But I don't think that was the only reason.

I'm gonna wait until I play through it on my own. Last time, about ten separate reviews told me that MotorStorm was only about 7-8 hours long. I'm about halfway through the events, and i've already been playing for about 6 hours (to be honest, it's probably because I really suck and keep having to restart races). By the time i've finished everything and tried out online, it'll have taken me at least 12 hours total. Then there's the downloadable content which includes new cars, tracks and events....

you posted this thread 2 times

im sure its more then 6 hours long

$120 AU for 6 hours, No thanks.

[QUOTE="Zero_Fate_"]It supposedly took 5 years for them to make Heavenly Sword...so those 5 years...DoctorBunny

1 year per hour... Now if they worked on it for 20 years, we could have a 20 hour game ;)

Must've been fun creating Baldurs Gate in the early 1900's.

Definitely do not trust what developers say about game length. masterpinky2000

But trust what Sony says with "teh powa of teh cell"? Oh the irony.... :shock:

Get ready to use the sig I'll make for you Trading_zoner !!

[QUOTE="Huff"][QUOTE="MGS9150"]GEOW was 6 hours long and it got a 9.6.Huff

Maybe for you.

LMAO! "Noob through it". :lol:

[QUOTE="D3monchicken"]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.Hoobinator

Gears is NOT 6 hours long.

Played on Hardcore difficulty lasted 12 hours.

Plaued on Insane lasted around 10 hours.

Multiplayer: lost count.

excuse me?! Wow you obviously suck terribly at Gears than. And i'm also sorry for your lost time playing a bad online game.

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!!! I was excited for this game, and still am because the presentation looks awesome, but the length of the game is horrible. Might have to be a rent for me now because full price for that amount of gameplay is robbery. What do you guys think?

I finished GOW 1 in one hour and a half, I was in rush cuz I was going to play GOD2, time is something you control in games.

MGS 1,2 are 3 hours long.

Castlvania: LOI second time I played it, I finished it in 3 hours also.

R6 Vegas finshed in one week, second time 1 day.

RE:FOM, one week. second time two days cuz I was a bit lazy.

NG:S, 1 week, 30 hours, cuz I did leave it for hours without playing. Second time, 5 hours.

So what I want you to see here that if you did play the game with exploration in first time it will be longer, second time you will skip cutscenes, so it will be a lot shorter, and i love playing slow, this way the game will long last, everygame we play is short except for RPGs.

It will be longer in HS2 Im sure of that , don't worry you will have fun playing it.6 hours of playing is very long for action games.

I thought COWS said the massive amount of space BLU-RAY gives will allow longer games? We all know that disc size directly reflects how long a game is. Most games back in the early 90's like Daggerfall could be completed in 10 mins right?swanlee

Exactly, this man (or women) has seen the light and knows the truth! Spread the word!

Yeah, I'm going to have to rent it. Do you know if there are any online modes for this game? Any 2 player online action? Any other Single Player mods that will give it replay value? Just wondering.

What happened with all that Blu-Ray space? I thought games were going to be larger and longer because of Blu-Ray. Why is Heavenly Sword and Uncharted so short?

It's because it's not disk space that is holding developers back, it is money and time.
