Why would you play the second game first ?

Why are you answering a question with a question?

We can do this forever. That's why it's stupid to do.

Another response to your post: maybe they are wondering if this is a prequel. Maybe they're wondering if the events from the first game have nothing to do with the events in the second game.

What they want to know is if it is essential to play the first game because they don't want to be completely lost while playing the sequel.

The answer is that it is completely fine to just play the sequel.

So you'll take 15 mediocre hours over 6 amazing ones? He/she has a point.

I'll take 6 amazing hours plus 9 mediocre ones no problem.

 

[EBE]

really do hope its good. i wont be buying it around launch as i thought the TNO was largely mediocre and not at all worth my $60 but i'll give this a shot later down the line
i just feel like TNO benefited a bit much from being released at point in this gen where there was A) not much going on, and B) the big fps heavy hitters were disappointing many folks (battlefield 4 from its infamous launch issues, killzone for being uninspired, titanfall for being multiplayer only, an exclusive, and content light)

 

[Nesther]

I'll take the 15h hour amazing one. New Order showed that you can be a lengthy story driven game and still offer a great time. Same with U4, TLOU etc.

 

[IXI FalcoN]

No, ill take 20 amazing ones over 6. If the game is exceptional, having a short lenght is the worst offender, because you dont get to experience its greatness to a satisfactory level. After a sequence of terrific but short games in the past, like allied assault, the original cod or max payne 2, having an apropriate lenght in a good game became my absolute main concern with new games. This is so good, please dont be over too soon was all i was thinking

Don't get me wrong, 20 good hours > good 6 hours any day. What I'm trying to convey is that the number of hours shouldn't dictate your purchasing decision (unless it's something absurd like 1 hour with no replayability factor). Nothing wrong with wanting more from a well made game, but the choice to buy it should be based on what's there, not what could have been added. Sometimes a game's design doesn't call for a super long game. Sometimes the devs couldn't come up with enough additional interesting content and went with a more focused approach.

The trend last gen was to pass on or rent these good, but under 20 hour games. And now in 2017 it's rare to get a game like this. Everything has to be either an open world Ubisoft style game or the next big MP hit or publishers think gamers won't buy them. And they're kinda right, sadly.

 

[thesonovabeach]

That sounds fantastic. I don't have 20 hours to give to a FPS anymore.

Yeah and if the game is really that good I will gladly replay it again. Like TitanFall 2 : 5 hour campain, never touched MP, but I actually played the game 3 times already. Never been happier to pay 60 bucks.

 

[MosquitoSmasher]

Hype begins....cannot wait to try this on the One X!

Same here man. Just hope it's not a TeW 2 matter like how there was no Pro support on day one and I wonder if it will be for X launch. Hope when I have my X it will be completely enhanced for it as well.

 

[Hostile_18]

Money's also a factor. I hate filler as much as anyone but 50 pounds for 6 hours would not be worth it to me either.

 

[samar11]

Still haven't finished the first one but more excited for this one lol

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

Can't fucking wait.

 

[Carl]

Might have to add this to my Christmas list. Loved ur first one but didn't like Old Blood much

 

[dmr87]

EW2 done, bring on Wolf 2.

 

[DeadManWalking]

I mean if the game is amazing witch it should be im fine with 6h campaign with some replayability.
I'm just glad there is a good SP game out now, and glad to support devs at launch.

 

[Dabanton]

I'll be waiting another two weeks to enjoy this on the X. Can not wait.

Same here it will be the first game I'll play on it.

If the length is on par with the first one I'm good, that was fine.

 

[Ruff]

I'm seeing that this game is somehow cracked on the usual sites, does it not use denuvo this time around? It's not even bloody out yet lol.

 

[Xpliskin]

Hnngggggg I have to finish TEW 2 first.

Damn I need more free time.

Nope, no denuvo because they removed it before The Evil Within 2 came out and I don't think Bethesda are gonna use denuvo anymore since it's just a waste of money anyway.

It's a webm, it opens in Kodi on PC for me for some reason. It is pretty hilarious.

 

[VanCityGamer]

I've read that 4-5 hours is your best bet on average difficulty (whatever that means)

LOL no. Don’t worry everyone, this guy’s sources are apparently feeding him a pile of bullshit. The game is NOT 4-5 hours long. It is SIGNIFICANTLY longer.

 

[leng jai]

5 hours sounds like nonsense. Surely they wouldn't cut the average play time in half from the last game, it's not like they tacked on multiplayer this time.

 

[BattleMonkey]

Hah no way, the first game was much longer than that, no way they will short change us with 2.....

 

[Gorocketcat]

I need context for that topless shoot out.

 

[Outrun]

Question is: is the person that was supposed to do the OT still here?

Now is the opportunity for the young guns to take over OTs.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

From what I'm seeing the game is 6-8 hours if you stretch it.

YES! I legitimately love shorter length games now

How's that even possible? The Old Blood had a poor first hour but the rest was excellent. On par and sometimes better than TNO.

 

[Revolutionary]

5 hours eh?

21% Level Completion in 26 hours. Seems legit.

I wish I could get hyped about this game. I enjoyed the first half of The New Order (when it was more stealthy), but then it nosedived into bullet sponge mecha bullshit.

[liftedly]

These are my statistics so far, playtime is accurate. Playing on the hardest difficulty so it's been a lot of trial and error, if I played on normal I'd probably be at 50% level completion.

I think the player in the 26 hour screenshot is on their second playthrough or something, their stats show stuff that's impossible to reach with 21% level completion.

 

[Apocryphon]

Needs to be as long as Doom. 12hrs would be fine for a game with no multiplayer. Otherwise I’ll wait until it’s on sale and get Origins instead.

New Order was 12-ish hours for the story and Old Blood was about half that. Prey is about 16 I think?

So 12hrs on normal?

That’s fine with me!

I prefer shorter games but that's short even for me. 8-12 hours is my sweet spot.
