No. I think that's just the time gap from the first trophy to the platinum. We don't know how long into the game he got the first trophy.

10 hours is a descent length and you don't know if he played it on hard difficulty with no aim assist...
I'm guessing it took 35 hours. 35 hours + 10 hours. Seems decent. Will pick up when it's PS+.
Also this...

That wasn't what i was trying to convey at all.
And if you are awesome enough to use an avatar of the greatest game character ever, you should be awesome enough to understand what i meant. Despite the poor english.
I was being sarcastic, I'm with you on what you said.
The amusing thing to me about the whole play through thing, is that the YouTube guys play through is actually closer to 6 hours, not 5 hours, and as mentioned before, that is ignoring the viewables and collectibles, and playing on an easy difficulty. But for some reason that is being misconstrued to form a narrative that the game is only 5 hours long, even though that doesn't even line up with the videos, or with the other confirmed GAFer play times we have, which are closer to 10-14 hours (these ones including much more exposition and collectibles, and harder difficulties).
Funnier still is that all the positive impressions of the game from those who have or are playing it, are getting drowned out in all this.
That's the most stupid argument about game length I ever saw. For example, you can 100% The Swapper in 30 minutes. But the game length is nowhere near 30 minutes.
You can't calculate that unless you know the game automatically gives a unmissable trophy at the start of the game. If it's like TLOU you can spend 5 hours in the game before getting your first trophy, so you can basically take 7 hours between first trophy and getting the trophy for finishing the game.
What? You would actually prefer articial stretching of a game?

Why the panic ?
This game is at least 10 hour long.
When i played the game i took a lot of time to sink into the world, reading signs and newspapers, looking in every corner and i played it on hard. Took me around 12 hours.
Id say it's reasonable, i did feel it ended too soon for its own good though.

Unfortunately sound more like an "attack" ... Anyway, this is an useless discussion.
I liked some of your posts, so, yeah, maybe you didn't meant to be aggressive or something like that
Sorry for the off topic !
I'm staying off all media sites that aren't heavily moderated this last week, no chances.

whoa, you guys are still talking about game length? Sheesh, is $60 that hard to part from? Just rent it or trade it in if replay value is such a big deal my goodness. I've never seen so much obsession over a value debate. You guys need to go and work more and get some disposable income. Ridiculous thread, hopefully the actual game and it's story is the bulk of the OT.
Comment sections are usually the ones that get me. Gotta avoid those like the plague this week.

I honestly don't even know why this stuff happens. It's embarrassing when you look at it from a few steps back.

Everyone is just seeing what they want to see at this point. Most people have already picked a side.
Discussion has become pointless. Half want to shit on the game without playing it, and the other half just want to get hyped, again, without playing it.
Wait and see.

And now i look like that french police officer at the start of Templars asking the dead guy "to stop not breathing."
But there's a YouTube video proving you wrong. Didn't you know? You're less trustworthy than some random dude on YouTube apparently

I read it. One son of a gun posted the ending video and wrote the whole end on a ps 4 forum (uol) trolling the hell out of his vain existence
Sounds good to me, that's what I'd come to expect from this type of game. I'm definitely taking my time to soak everything up.
I think that's certainly true, to a point.
I think it becomes tumultuous when the length is below a certain threshold, like the 5-6 hour mark. For some people it's difficult to justify purchasing a game full price when you can expect to see the credits roll 6 hours after your first press 'Start', and where there isn't an additional multiplayer mode to hold your interest.
But I agree that an average time for completion doesn't say much about how enjoyable a game might be.

This is obviously sarcasm. It's annoying as hell when you beat a game on a harder difficulty but trophies for lesser difficulties don't unlock as well. If you can beat a game on very hard I'm pretty sure you could beat it on normal or easy. Making you play those difficulties to get those trophies is ridiculous. My first playthrough of Shadows of the Damned was on hard, but I only got the hard mode trophy and not the others and the others are the only ones I think I needed for the Platinum.

He started to play the game at 10:57 AM on the 13th and got his first trophy almost 3 hours later. This of course implies that he didnt stop playing but adding another 3 hours should be fair.

Five days and I will be playing the game with what I hope are the best visuals so far...I am super excited.

Do you live your life backwards? This game has gotten better since the initial reveal, I think most of us would agree.
This thread went to hell in a hand basket so damned fast. Now we have people posting spoilers and YouTube links and expressing utmost concern about QTE fests and ZOMG 5 hours long. It was good having some meaningful discussion about the game while it lasted but the trolls always win out eventually.

The spoiler topic is way worse now.
Unfortunately it's not just about short term sales, it's about the narrative that spreads in the web. We're not talking about Assassin's Creed that will sell a lot regardless of its quality/peformance issues, it's a new IP. I'm aware I'll sound very defensive, but I hate these behaviours because really, how one can even think that watching and playing is the same thing is beyond my understanding. I was reading a forum before, they're shitting on the game just by watching that walkthrough. No talks about sound, acting, level design, story and lore, gunplay, nothing but "5 hours LOL" that is now the official time needed to complete the game, and "it's a movie LOL" or "insults" to RAD and its devs, their incompetence (?) and lies (??) because today's gamer knows better than most devs about everything. It doesn't really matter if there's a guy who said it took around 11 hours to finish the game, it doesn't matter if he's satisfied with it excluding the replayability, the only thing that matters is the web narrative (it's happening here too). Now, I have to admit I was looking at one of the worst forum I know but I know this is a common thing. I actually think that this negativity will hurt sales and discussions and considering that reviews will probably smash it, I'm having a hard time to see a light for this game.
As for me, fingers crossed for what it's worth because aside from gunplay, that looks very solid, I strongly believe in the value of what some people consider a mere "contour" and more focus on this aspect should not be underestimated or diminished.
Same, I want more from this setting.
Did you really think that?

I've been avoiding that thread like the plague. I'd actually like to play the game fresh on release day so in light of that and the general absurdity of recent discourse regarding this game I think I'll just go on a blackout till release. So for those of you discussing and posting impressions I give young thanks for a most enjoyable conversation and I bid you all adieu.

If true then that's good enough for me. 30+ hour game for 3 playthroughs. That guy probably rushed so he can tell everyone he finished it anyway.
If you're seriously cancelling because of that you're an idiot.

I welcome this game with open arms. I love the setting, art work looks great and I don't mind paying $60 bucks for a 10+ game. This is a good palette cleanser after playing a long Jrpg.
Online co-op campaign would have been great if it was included. I have no doubt it will be in future iterations of the game, if they make a second one.
