The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
I don't know a thing about this game. This might be my first blind purchase in a while.
As I thought. Someone forgot to flip the privacy switch when loading the video.Video is set to private now. Loks like they made a mistake.

But someone just pointed out that cvg gave RE6 an 8...
this is great...but i also can't help feel that since its an early review, of course its going to be a high score.

An exclusive embargo breaking review gave a 9.5.
Well I for one am *shocked*.
If I were a conspiracy theorist I would say they deliberately set it to public at first to inspire HYPEIf that was the case then the video wouldn't of gone back to private.

I'm not though.
That would make sense if they were hyping their review up.
Nothing about the game being to short?
It clearly didn't hurt the stellar score much, but I could see that as something that could color other reviews and impressions. And there was the Dishonored thread here about how people got lost without hints.Why is it a negative that it takes time to learn the game?
why how long is the game supposed to be?
4-5 hours, according to a stream.
Really?
Really?
Yes. More details in the OT.
Long story short: guy played on easy, rushing through and killing everyone, dying a lot. 4-5 hours to complete the game.
So stealth will be over 10 hours.
4-5 on easy? Damn....I expected this game to be way longer.
I almost always play on Normal first..so I guess that will be around 7hours or so. Kind of disappointed
ps: just saw an article on n4g saying some finished the game in less than 4 hours :S
edit: then again I take a LONG time to play games than most. I spend a good chunk of my time looking at environments, paintings etc etc in a game. I enjoy it. So I guess this game will be of good enough length to me. But even so..for a single player only game, I hope it will last well over 10 hours.
A speed run or mouthbreathing your way through on easy should never be considered a bulletpoint for how long a game is. This 4 hour thing is getting kind of ridiculous. A normal playthrough should be 10+ hours for anyone else.

I wouldn't discount the 4-5 hour playtime, the developers have stated many times that each area and each task can be completed in multiple ways, I'm guessing they made a really short focused game with an insane amount of player variety.

you can beat mario 64 with 120 stars in under 2 hours. I don't think anyone says mario 64 is a short game.
If you run through a game basically invincible it shortens the game - a lot. The reason for this is because you don't have to interact with the game systems on that difficulty - and that is the meat of the game.

nickbreckon said:Yeah, if you're playing on easy and skipping all the side content, it's not hard to exploit open games for fast playtimes. We did an office speed-run of Skyrim before it shipped and got it down to ~2 hours. Because of the sandbox level design, Dishonored doesn't have a lot of cutscene gating or corridor event sequences to artificially prevent you from speed-running. But those fast runs don't represent normal playthroughs at all; usually times fall in the 12-20+ hour range, plus replays for different endings/powers etc

It really isn't. The number of games that can't be speedrun in under four hours is pretty small.It is reason enough to worry, though, at least for me. I just hope the game will take at least 12 hours on the first run on stealth.
I canceled my (discounted) preorder. I can't justify buying something published by Bethesda with such a late review embargo. If it's well received I'll get it after a price cut.
A guy gets the game early and has a stream up. Wouldn't his motivation be to get through the game as quickly as possible for people watching? Also wouldn't he want to beat the game fully before it comes out so he can be ahead of the pack?
I don't really think that a stealth playthrough will double the time it takes to beat the game, in one of the dev walkthroughs they got through an entire level in 12 minutes and they stopped a lot to chat about the game and sorta did things slowly to demonstrate certain features, and the walkthrough they did was all stealth and no murdering.
The length will probably not be an issue because of what you can do differently in a new playthrough, will that sacrifice be worth it? We'll all find out very soon.
