Its funny when I first played Demons I kept hearing about the difficulty the difficulty the difficulty. So before playing I told my, then fiance now wife, " im going to finish 1-1 without dying! "
I proceeded to kick 1-1's ass. Was really careful around all the corners, and hid behind pillars against the boss and tried not to make too many mistakes.
I then was moving along 1-2 and such and decided .. yeah I want a different character. So I remade the character and did 1-1 again.
2nd time around 1-1 took me 2 hours to beat lol. First time around it was like 25 minutes maybe. Was hilarious.
In the end though, my timer showed 35 hours and 27 minutes I believe. Somewhere in there.

I'm just saying how I feel on the subject. You of course can do what you like, just spoiler tag that stuff.

Also consider the combat is much faster.
I played Demons after Darks 1 and 2. It took me around 30 hours too. I used the wiki occasionally though - Meatcleavered my way through the game.

45 hours seems pretty normal for the main story. I'm sure I'll be playing 100+ hours eventually trying to beat ng+(+++) and finding all the secrets.
Eventually spent more than 100 hours playing Demon's.
Hell, I finished Dark Souls in around 40 hours, but eventually clocked almost 200 hours with that game.

Looks amazing, the atmosphere is amazing. Reminds me of Van-Helsing and the universal monster movies from the 40's.

Yeah 45+ hours is more than enough time, plus the fact the Chalice Dungeon doesn't seem to be up yet so right there is more replay ability. God having to wait for this game is killing ME!

Beat both Demon and Dark in under 40 hours first run.
That is good thing about the games having NG+ is you don't have to go slow on your first run.
this. I've logged hundreds of hours in all the games on my platinum hunts and just helping ppl with coop. its my favorite parts of the games really.
got the dark souls 2 plat in under 80 hours. had no qualms with length.
I sucked and beat it in 36.

The Chalice Dungeon is going to eat my free time. The whole game is going to...
I'm planning on finding all the secrets in the main game, which will probably take me a long time to do. And then there's the Chalice Dungeo - an infinite timesink.
Bllodborne is going to keep me happy for a looooooooooooooooooooong time.

I really don't mind how long it is, as long as it isn't painfully short compared to other Souls games, which doesn't seem to be the case.
40 or 80 hours, either way I'll be playing it for hundreds of hours, NG+, testing different builds, challenge runs, PVP and then speedruns once the strats come out (I'm ridiculous at finding out stuff by myself, I'll just wait for the speedrunning community).
EDIT: I also beat Demon's in less than 40 hours on my first run, so thanks?

demons was absolutely brutal if you did it legit without the item duping.
farming that pure bladestone... *shudders* was absolutely worth it though.
dark souls was quite a bit easier as long as you commited to multiple playthroughs.
Dark Souls wasn't super hard to platinum. Just had to make it to Sif in NG++ so you could make all the weapons
Demon's Souls is harder to grind for materials so you can end up like me where I have 95% and am stuck there because eff the pure bladestone.

I don't remeber it being particularly hard but very time consuming in Dark Souls. Required me mutliple playthroughs with about 6 different characters to platinum it.

Just to get this out of the way
HLTB souls sereis main story playtime
Demons Souls : 32.46 hours
Dark Souls : 48.42 hours
Dark Souls 2 : 47.09 hours
Getting the avg gives us about 42-3 hours.
Bloodborne is pretty standard then if we are getting 45+hours

I beat Dark in 80 hours and then Demon's in 40.
Since then I've done Dark in 12 and Demon's in under 20. I think I could clear dark in 4 hours if I planned a build carefully to avoid any grinding and went straight at it.
I really enjoy soaking up every last detail though so I tend to luxuriate in the atmosphere instead of rushing through.

Both I found difficult for trivial reasons.
DeS - blade stone.
DS1 - collect all weapons, I completed the game several times over but could never be bothered to organise a run where I got all the weapons on one character.
Heh, it took me around 50-60ish hours with my first souls, Dark 1.
But Dark Souls 2, being a way larger game,took me around 20-30ish at most.
40 hours seems right.

Especially if you played pure melee. I did pure melee for god, probably the first 200 hours. Then decided to make a mage centric character and a Ranger type character.
Was so much easier with some of the bosses and enemies I felt like it was cheating lol.

According to this news from schnittberichte.com, the game releases uncut as told by SCE Germany.
I'm actually surprised this is rated 16 by the USK, considering the ridiculous amount of blood that's gushing all over the place.

I hate this guy:
Lol he was scary, but in fact he was one of the easier enemies. You just had to trigger his jump attack by staying at a certain distance and then move to the left (or to the right) to dodge the attack, go behind him and BAM, backstab

It's all about how human the enemies are. As long as they're not too human alike the USK has no problem. Look at Dead Space for instance.

Oh damn.
Hype.
It's beautiful :O
Damn, this looks better than the image on Amazon might suggest. And I like it more than the steelbook that comes with the Collector's Edition. But I want the artbook so bad!
I'm conflicted.

It took me around 30 hours to beat Demon's on my very first run. It was my first Souls games and I didn't use guides for the most part
40 hours is more than reasonable, specially since people are used to these games by now.

I'll make a spoiler thread.
I know some of you will click it anyway because we have weak will so I'll make these rules for now (pre-release):
Used the same system as that reddit thread

There's a certain game mechanic that people would probably consider to be very spoilery.

Yeah I'd say so as well. Although I beat Dark Souls 1 in 110 hours and I haven't beaten Ds2 yet but I have 49 hours so far. I like to explore and grind for things.
no we didnt at all
