100%. The campaign can be done in 3 hours easily.

There you go! I hate searching for collectables to achieve 100 %.

There's like 12 large bases you can capture and use for quick travel, so if you throw those in to the mix of the story that's made it longer, and without doing a few side missions you will be stuck with beginner weapons with not many upgrades.
The only thing I hate is that you cant strafe faster...But this is a problem I have with the majority of modern shooters.
Also, when you finish the story and conquer all the outposts, there's nothing relevant left to do. I wish they put large groups of enemies on the map, so you can go out there and hunt them. Instead you got 2 or three enemies togheter at max.

hmmm doesn't sound too bad. Is there an option for respawning enemies?

You may want to change that url tag to a spoiler tag. Anyone on mobile or with the YouTube me again extension will see a thumbnail that spoils which movie that song came from.

Moth Collector's side quest has a brilliant ending. Sad and funny at the same time.

It's not just collectibles. There are the main story missions, but there are also the garrisons to capture, as well as side missions you can pick up at the garrisons which are quests such as go rescue the hostage and the like.

no replay value unless you want to hear the quotes again etc.
But for me atleast the main story was 4 hours, 6 hours to 100% it.no respawning bases.
I need to kill one more animal but I don't know which one.
look into your journal for animal entries, it has a description of all the ones you need to hunt.
On the one hand, I was really entertained by the game and the soundtrack is freaking awesome. The last mission was one of the funniest things I ever played. On the other hand, I beat it in 7 hours with all garrisons liberated and all weapon upgrades unlocked.
Then again, it was 15, the soundtrack itself is worth it. I'm just sad it's already over.

Yeah im satisfied with the amount of content as well for the price of admission. Its like a movie rental that you dont have to rewind!
And its not like its a bland 4 hour campaign with a tacked on multiplayer -type of game. Its 4-6 hours of good fun and jokes

I won't be satisfied until I get a "fully-budgeted", 60 dollars sequel though.

So I'm doing one of the rescue a scientist missions last night and I rescue the guy. Immediately after he thanks me and starts to run off, he gets mauled by a zebra-striped tiger. I think I love this game.

When you take over a garrison the game uses a really cool extra old vhs filter, then it turns off after the small cut scene.
Any way to force that filter on all the time? I don't mean the scan lines, if you know what I mean.
Guessing you can't on console but surely there is a way on pc.
hah yeah I have seen that twice, he thanks me and then get's eaten by a cyber panther lol
Things I would love to see in a sequel:
Hacking certain cyber beings to make them friendly, such as the cyber dogs.
Some big-ass vehicles like tron tanks or light bikes for a laugh.
Garrisons being taken over again if left alone too long.
More 80's throwbacks!
Harder blood dragons/old movie monsters, with the explosive sniper or upgraded smg the dragons become push overs.

2-3 hours? Its way longer than that.
You can do a manual save anytime you're in the world. The only time saves are disabled is when you're in the middle of a mission.
Having saves during a mission would be somewhat of a cheat.
Hell, if this were a true 80's game, you wouldn't have saves at all. You'd have a password that you had to get at a base.

If you didn't play duke nukem 3d, yes.
I was there for Duke 3D when it came out and I can safely say this definitely feels like a true successor to it minus the dick, tit and turd jokes.
That's a complaint that goes for just about every first person game ever made.

Just wrapped up 100% at a little over 7 hours.
Most fun I've had with a shooter in a looooooooong time.

this game is surprisingly very very good. very reminiscent of old school expansion packs, or even full games of the 90s.
You can really tell who ever made this loved it from the very start and it definitely shows. What could have been half assed is surprisingly awesome for what it embraces. It doesn't give a shit in the best ways possible.
And somehow the story is more coherent than far cry 3. I would love to see this game return in the next gen.
edit: played ps3 version

One thing I would like to see removed is going OOB from a mission, some of the story missions kick in when you are within about 400 meters of the target point, it was annoying because I planned to take a base out next to it first before doing the main mission, but was unable to until after.

From the majornelson podcast the other day, it's suppose to be selling 5 times more then ubisoft expected, and it's above minecraft for daily sales in the UK right now.

Yeah, that kept happening to me and I eventually gave up on the outposts until I finished the story.

There really isn't that many collectibles to begin with, and they are tied to certain upgrades. There is no way you will beat the game in 3 hours unless you go out of your way to do a speed run. I played the game at a steady/casual pace and was able to 100% the game with a completion time of 8-9 hours. I felt like I got my money's worth. Since this game has lot's of humor and one-liners, it's more of a good thing it's a bit on the shorter side.
Damn, I finished every collector thing (tv/VHS/notes) and most other stuff too. I'm only missing two attachements which cost a little over 4600 credits together. The thing is that you can't make money and I have absolutely no idea where to find some money. I'm pretty sure I got 99 percent of it. So somewhere on that island is a lonely crate waiting for me I guess.
Also don't have that headshot achievement yet. I really thought I had them all. Gonna need a second playtrough to get that one.
