Shadow Complex only 4-5 hours long

So it's $15 and as long as the $60 Heavenly Sword on the almighty Blu-ray?

Yeah, somehow, I think Shadow Complex will be just fine there, Cookigaki.

Btw, 1UP said it'll be 5-6 hours. I stated this numerous times here. No one listens when I say non-fanboyish stuff. :(

I thought it was 12 hours? Oh well im sure I would play through it like 4 or 5 times.

Complaining about a $15 XBLA game being that short when HS, a full priced game($60) is just as short, LOL. Though you don't seem to be like them.mitu123

You can't judge a games length based on the fastest possible time to play through the game.... if you could, then you could say Resident Evil 5 is only a 1.5 hour long game.

Or Super Mario World is only a 12 min. 10 sec long game......

FAIL!

I'm not saying finishing Shadow Complex in 4-5 hours is the fastest possible time..... my point is, it certainly isn't 4-5 hours if you explore the entire map and get all the upgrades.

The devs said that the game could be finished very quickly if you know the game very well, where to go and when to go there.... and there are shortcuts as well.

Anyway this game is gonna be awesome..... AAA no doubt. Well AAA on metacritic at least... I don't even try to guess whats going on inside of Gamespot reviewers minds.

In other words, if you actually PLAY the game, instead of analyze it under lab testing conditions :)

Are we seriously complaining over a $15 Arcade game only being 5 hrs long?

Wait a minute, people are excited for this game?

jakehouston88

Weren't you excited for Fat Princess, which got a 7.0 and flopped? Hmm, I think Shadow Complex will be the better arcade title, and it wasn't hyped nearly as much as little ol' Fat Princess. But hey, we'll see come the 19th.

You mean the AA-AAA (AAAA GOTY in Pimp_dogs thread)?aaronmullan

Recorded hype is majority AA...

But Epic said it would be 12 :( and as you always say "I'll take the devs word over yours" aaronmullan

First, that's not my word. Read... I clearly said 1UP. But hey, now that the word is in, it looks I was was right like always...errr, I mean 1UP was right.

I don't get the hype for shadow complex.

I came across this article, this guy played the game for two hours and only explored 33% of the entire map and found 21% of all the items in the game. I know I'll be getting more than 4-5 hours out of it on my first playthrough.

[QUOTE="NielsNL"]

[QUOTE="Cyberfairy"] 1). It's heavily inspired by Super Metroid; one of the best games ever made. 2). It's a cheap game. 3). It looks fun to play, the graphics are great; the whole game just looks good.TheOwnerOner

Fair enough. It's not appealing to me though.

Sure, that must be it. Cause everyone knows that whoever owns a 360 MUST be interested in every single game that's released for it...

I own a 360 already. I'm just not into most 2D platformers (except for the Mario ones). And yes, I played Super Metroid. And no, I also didn't like that.

This is pathetic.

It's "Niels 8erb" or "Niels_8erb" (one is PSN, one is XBL)

I thought this game looked great but 4-5 hours long? I don't think I'm buying anymore. And which retail game that didn't get terrible reviews only took you that long?

Cherokee_Jack

I know the game is $15 but there are tons of arcade games out there that last much longer than 4-5 hours.

Cookigaki hates it when developers states their games are -blank- hours long, when it's shorter. Still, longer than some retailer games, and it's only 15$

http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-12218-Providence-Video-Game-Examiner~y2009m8d12-Shadow-Complex-only-45hrs-long

Cookigaki

cookigaki is right as usual but i am confused by cookigaki's thread title. 4-5 hours for a downlaodable game is pretty long

[QUOTE="navstar29"]There was apparently a 1 hour 4 minute speed run through the game. Cherokee_Jack

Using exploits that the devs built into the game for that very purpose, of course.

Well, sometimes ppl get exited about 360 games arround here aswell. Still nothing like Fat Princess hype, dont worry! Just notice how Xbla got 3 AAEs (Worms2 Armagedon, Splosion Man and Trials HD) these last weeks and we dont see lemmings talking about them all the time!

and that would probably be why you don't get the hype for it, lol

Longer than I expected. Can't wait, it's almost here.

Some dude that got it early said he beat the game with 100% in 8 hours. That's quite dissapointing since the developers themselves it would take 10-12 hours. Oh well, it's still very cheap.
