Killzone 3's campaign is only 6-7 hours

I just finished playing it a few hours ago and it only took me a little over 6 hours to complete. I was even playing it on Veteran (Hard). While I did enjoy it, it kind of expected it to be a longer time investment.

Yay another KZ3 thread

*sits back and waits for the lems and cows*

I am not buying it at 60 bucks now. 50 if lucky, though 40 and less preferably.

It took me a little udner 9 hours to beat Killzone 2 on Hard. A good hour of that was probably spent on the last fight with Radec

i never buy my games full price, i just wait till that price drops but it has multiplayer which is what you kiddies these days love so yeah thats why the campaign is short but 6-7 hours sounds reasonable to me.

Yeah I got the Radec trophy on the first try also. Not sure why that took you so long. I'm not even good in FPS games.

Yea its short, but great nonetheless. Really enjoying the splitscreen with my mate. Going to hop on the multiplayer with friends soon enough. :)

I found the AI in Killzone 3 to be better. For instance, the guys with shotguns that rush you actually rush from cover to cover rather than running in a stright line out in the open. The Helghast also move to different covers depending on where you are which is a ncie change from KZ2 where they seem to be glued to the wall they were taking cover on

Did you play it on Hard your first play through?

Sounds like the average for fps games this gen.

I just finished it then and i thought it was incredible, Stahl FTW

Will be quicker on Easy Killzone 2 I finished easy in under 5 hours, I finished Normal a little over 5 hours...and all I ever used was the knife when it was the choice.

So was the story that bad? No spoilers please :X

They have playthroughs on youtube and I've been casually watching on and off. The story is decent enough. The acting, honestly, is a little hard to swallow at times. Its more so because they didnt seem to do a good job at syncing up animations all that well to properly display how the characters are really feeling. If you have played mass effect, its kind of like that but worse. Also there isnt enough "umph" to the acting you could say.

The two main headbutters on the helgan side are pretty decent though for the most part.

I had soooo much fun with the single player demo and the beta that its a must buy for me no matter how long it is.

longer than reach imho

Helghan characters and voice acting are as good as it gets (in video games of course, which are rarely known for succefful acting or writing).The ISA characters, just like the last game, are either mediocre or bad. Overall the story I thought was really good throughout and greatly improved the last game. The ending was a bit anti-climactic though, that last on-rails sequence - I wish they did SOOOOO much more with that..

I didn't have a timer on, but I'm pretty sure it took me a bit more than 6 hours. Maybe as much as 9 or 10 hours but definitely not more than that on normal difficulty. Not bad. Black Ops was 6 hours for me on 1st normal playthrough, and Medal of Honor was 3.5 hours. That last one I had done in literally one afternoon in one sitting which is rediculous. Hell I even went back and did all of Tier 1 mode in another single afternoon. I do think this game has only about the same gameplay as Black Ops, but the cutscenes were significantly longer. I played all yesterday afternoon, and probably a couple more hours today to finish it up.

I beat Killzone 2 on Elite. Radec was fun on Elite! I am at the jungle level on KZ3 as we chat. The game so far is a blast. I don't know how long it will take me. I do want to crush this game on Elite ASAP!!

I rarely buy games at full price. And this would definantly not warrant a full-price pruchase, even if it's the game of the gen. Let the developers know you don't want to be ripped off.Mr_Cumberdale

I wouldn't say he was full of ****, I mean the story isn't good. It's just not "awful". It's about what you'd expect after playing Killzone 2. I can't really say much more without any spoilers, but I didn't feel like the story was something to put so much negative weight on, especially when compared to Call of Duty or Bad Company 2, each of which have terrible campaigns

I don't feel ripped off by any means. If this was a SP only game, than yes, I would feel that way. I'm mainly just disappointed because as my buddy and I were talking on Skype as we played through the game we were trying to predict the ending and what we came up with would have been so much more awesome than what actually occurred.

Yeah the campaign is short, but oh so sweet :). But the meat of the game is in the fantastic multiplayer anyway, I didn't expect a Half Life 2 or Bioshock length singleplayer.

I really don't get the reviews saying the campaign sucked, I thought it was great. Intense infantry battles most of the game, with only 3 vehicle on rail segments, and the last one was amazingly done. The story wasn't terrible, only that I expected stahl to be a better character than how he was presented. But overall its nowhere as bad as the press said.

I know I couldn't belivee it!

I'm enoying KZ3 alot I haven't touched MP taking my time with SP...After KZ3 I move on to Bullestorm...

i'm gonna rent it for my spring break, as much as like killzone 2, i'll never buy a fps full price again

So many people complain about length of games. Back in the NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, you would pay $50 or more for a game that could be beat in under 4 hours. Now most down loadable games that sell for $9.99 or longer than that.

Would you rather a game have a ton of unnecessary levels added just to make you grind through them to make the game longer? Do you have fun playing games that make you backtrack a ton just to extend the length of playtime? A 5 hour movie isn't necessarily better than a 2 hour movie and a 15 hour campaign isn't automatically going to be better that a 6 hour campaign.

If anything gamers were being ripped off 15 and 10 years ago. The price for gaming hasn't change much, but what has is the amount of content you get for every dollar.

i never buy my games full price, i just wait till that price drops but it has multiplayer which is what you kiddies these days love so yeah thats why the campaign is short but 6-7 hours sounds reasonable to me.

7 hours is a good length for an FPS campaign. its not too short or too long
