same as cb2077 i still playing it 6th time or whatever i forgot.. just give me something new allready...

 

[J3nga]

Why Techland? Are you trying to compete with Ubisoft? Bad news TBH.

 

[Concern]

500 hours of filler garbage. I'll take a solid 8 hour experience over padded bullshit.

 

[mitch1971]

They say it likes its a good thing!

 

[GametimeUK]

500 hours to complete the game
15 hours before I'm bored and uninstall

 

[Kenpachii]

50 hour game,

last archievement, beat the game 10 times.

500 hours content.

 

[Corndog]

A long game can still be good. Just make all the collectathon optional. And have good quests and main story.

 

[SteadyEvo]

With the current trend of excessive padding in videogames that overstay their welcome, I don't see this as a positive at all.
I probably put less than 100 hours on Dying Light + The Following co-oped with a friend, and that's probably the maximum amount I'm willing to spend in a game like this.

This padding for the sake of length has to stop. If they can keep 500 hrs interesting great, but that hasn’t happened for me since MH freedom unite. High mileage PSPgo

 

[rubhen925]

I doubt most people will want to play more than 25 - 30 hours of this game. Story will most likely be around 20 hours. Rest is just filler, completionist stuff. 500 hours seems like padding to the next century.

 

[DragoonKain]

The worst part about open world games is how bloated they are. It’s rare that a game is full of quests that feel meaningful and take place in a world you want to actually explore. Dying Light to me is not a place I want to spend even 100 hours in. Probably not even 50. As long as it doesn’t detract from a normal playthrough, I don’t care. But if the game is a chore to play and loaded with tediousness, I won’t be spending a lot of time with it. After Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, I vowed to never spend that much time on a game that dull again.

 

[Barakov]

Very much doubt this but at least there will be "content". My guess is all the different branches in the story ( is that even still in the game?) equates to 500 hours if you wanna see them all.

[CheeseCake]

AC fans: Valhalla is the longest, most endless and bloated AC game to date. No other game will ever come close to it.



Dying Light 2:

 

[CitizenZ]

Well, IMO it is one of the top 3 games of the last 10 yrs and the DLC maybe one of the best ever because it completely added new gameplay. There is a reason it has sold close to 20 million copies, considered one of the best story co op games, fun online pvp, etc and it still receives support to this day. One of the few games over 6 yrs old now and is still one of the most played games(12,000 current in game on Steam alone). You make a good game players will continue to play.

However, I do have have concerns as this has been delayed a few times and never what seemed like the right reasons. Fingers crossed.

[Braag]

Sounds like it's bloated with time sinks.

 

[ManaByte]

 

[captainnapalm]

This actually sounds a lot shorter than the recent AC games. It's insane how long those are. I ended up quitting Odyssey after like 40 hours when I realized I had barely made a dent. I think Valhalla is even longer based on how far I got there. In my head I plan to finish these games one day, but man, what a task.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

This actually sounds a lot shorter than the recent AC games.

It's not, if you just do the story in AC odyssey, you can go through it in ~50 hours, valhalla 60-70 hours

 

[fermcr]

This isn't a positive point. 500h seems like there will be lot of filler...

Prefer smaller games. Give me a more interesting 20h open world game then a filler 500h game.

 

[captainnapalm]

It's not, if you just do the story in AC odyssey, you can go through it in ~50 hours, valhalla 60-70 hours

Dying Light 2 is quoting the time for story and side missions, not just story.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Dying Light 2 is quoting the time for story and side missions, not just story.

Valhalla doesn't have side missions, and most side missions in odyssey aren't really worth doing anyway.

 

[Kenpachii]

Ac vallhalla all dlc + free content 100%

I doubt this game is going to be 500 hours even remotely, i have no clue what they can do to create that content. if its actually 3x as big as valhalla, good luck with that.

 

[Tg89]

Sounds like some Ubisoft padding garbage to me. Very few games are good enough to justify even a fraction of that time investment, I’m confident this won’t be one of them.

 

[TonyK]

More than 50 hours in any game is a waste of time. All games become repetitive after that mark. Imagine 500 hours doing the same shit.

 

[Danjin44]

I can see myself do 500 hours in games like Monster Hunter but not this type of game.

 

[RyRy93]

Bethesda are the only devs that truly create 100 hour+ AAA singleplayer games and the content isn't exactly top tier, 500 is ridiculous

 

[Beer Baelly]

50 hour game,

last archievement, beat the game 10 times.

500 hours content.

Elder Legend

 

[Spukc]

all filler no killer

 

[DGrayson]

Sounds repetitive. I'd rather collect kurok seeds

 

[Arcadialane]

I guess I'm not the target here, as this seems to be a bad thing, not a good thing to promote.
Looking for more focused unique experiences these days, instead of drawn out, repetitive gameplay. So think I'll skip it then if its 500 hours long.

EDIT: They updated to say 100 hours, which is still insanely long

 

[winjer]

Hope it's 500 hours of good content and not just a ton of grinding and repetitive quests.

 

[Trogdor1123]

That is just too much…

 

[Arcadialane]

Ok now they say 70-80



Keeps getting shorter lol.

 

[isoRhythm]

Very much doubt this but at least there will be "content". My guess is all the different branches in the story ( is that even still in the game?) equates to 500 hours if you wanna see them all.

This shouldn't be something to brag about. I swear games that go past 35+ hrs for the platinum should really stop.

 

[isoRhythm]

They had 7 years and them Polish are crazy fuckers.

 

[Ammogeddon]

I do love a marketing faux pas.

 

[RyRy93]

Ok now they say 70-80



Keeps getting shorter lol.

"But for most people on timetobeat 30-40"

 

[Tommi84]

Sounds...HORRIBLE to be honest? Let's leave it at 100h with 100% completion and like 30h of campaign.

It's Riddler's riddles in Arkham Night all over again or what?

 

[Buggy Loop]

That about picks my interest as much as dodging lightning strikes 200 times for an item in FFX does..

Spoiler

Like not at all

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

120fps on XSX here I come!

 

[JonSnowball]

Collectable Quest! Collect Pubic Hair: 1/1,000,000

 

[retsof624]

I never try to 100 % any game. So im good

 

[Drizzlehell]

500 hours of kicking zombies in the teeth while standing on a roof of a car. How riveting.

 

[LaughingStock]

Translation: "Our game is a bloated mess full of filler content that will bore you to death"

 

[ShaikhCroft]

How to save 500 hours of your precious life?

By staying away from Dying Light 2!

 

[nemiroff]

More than 50 hours in any game is a waste of time.

Nah. It's only a waste of time if you for some peculiar reason don't have fun and still continue to play a game. And thus any second of playing any game you don't like is a waste of time.

 

[hlm666]

That's going to be to finish the stupid grind like system they added in the DLC for the first game, 500 hours is probably conservative.

 

[[Sigma]]

So your telling me your game is bloated. These companies learn the wrong things from Ubishit.

 

[BennyBlanco]

thanks, but no thanks

 

[lh032]

1 .lol 70 dollar 8 hour game
2. lol im not playing this 500 hour game.
