That is slow for your first time even but trust me once you learn the game you can blaze through it. I'm not a speed runner and i don't practice any speed runs or anything but I can run through the entire game in under 4 hours now. There are people that can finish the game in just about 2 hours! So if they cut too much stuff out it would get even shorter! |
It's like that for most games actually. You can speed through them once you know everything. Hell, take a look at actual speed run videos (ie- Half-Life or Half-Life 2), but I don't think that has anything to do with the story as much as it has to do with knowing everything since you skip through cut-scenes and run past everything you can.
I seemed to remember (for example) there being more story peices, like notes to pickup, in the other games like the GC remake. In RE4 it's like you'll find a little note every once in a while and they feel rather out of place in my opinion and haven't provided much backstory thus far rather than just some forshadowing on an event soon to come.
