Its hilarious how desperate people are trying to defend this game, just because it took me 5 hours to beat. It wasnt even my first playthrough.

Its not my fault it was a short game, it was a good game but nothing spectacular its story was garbage.

On normal mode on my first playthrough it took me 8 hours so no matter how you slice it, it is not longer than 10 hours.

You are entitled to your opinion.

But its kinda obvious that you can finish the game faster when you play it the second time.

Also, it might be entirely possible to beat the game in 8 hours.  But play times differ from person to person  depending on skill and whether or not you rush through it. I took 5 hours more than you cause I took it slow.

Even on my first playthrough it didnt take over 10 hours or even close. The developers lie they always do, supposedly there was gonna be free DLC for God of War 3 and of course that doesnt exist either.

No, you just don't understand the meaning of their words.  In their testing, and timing of the game I would wager that the average completion time falls around 10 hours.  Something like 10.1 hours or so.

You need to realize that if you're visiting and posting on this site you automatically play more video games than the average person.  You automatically are probably better than half the people who play the game just because you care that much more about gaming.

It may have taken you 8 hours on your first play through.  It may have taken some 35 year old father of three, casual gamer around 12 hours on his first playthrough.   We would say that the game takes around 10 hours to beat.    Then you also need to factor people looking for every secret, every orb, every item they can find extending the play times.

I personally, explore every nook and cranny in the game searching for items.  I like taking my time on a game like God of War.  It is a single player, epic experience, something that isn't meant to be rushed or hurried in my eyes....

I personally don't understand why some people mega play through the game and try to sprint from objective to objective to beat it as fast as possible (On first playthrough) but different strokes for different folks.

 

And lastly, it depends on what you define completing the game.  I believe that every object in the game that is collectable and possible to obtain should be counted in terms of game completion.  Without knowing the exact context and specific details, it's a tad presumptive to accuse the developer of 'lying' to you.
