Long, huh? I consider long to be 40-60 hours. 14 is in the meh semi-short territory.

A 40-60 hour action game would end up boring beyond belief. In fact, the only games I play for that long (in a single playthrough) are RPGs and simulation games. Some games are just much better fits for shorter playthroughs. Short, but sweet as they say.

A typical Assassin's Creed game takes me between 40-50 hours and Red Dead took even longer than that. And I expect GTA5 to give me at least 40-60 hours in SP.

Those are open world games though. Castlevania: LoS is more comparable in gameplay to God of War. I think that game should set the new standard for length of single player campaigns in the pure action genre, around 20 hours.

I would be extremely happy if the God of War Ascension campaign took 20 or even 30 hours!

I actually played Ascensions at Fan Expo. It is quite good.


Did you get a chance to try the MP too?

 

@Slimbeast: come on man :P You know EXACTLY what he meant...and you know he is right too. 

 

OT: This is fantastic news! I may be in the minority but I am someone who usually takes even longer to finish a SP campaign than the dev estimate. Reason? in games like GOW and UC, I take a LOT of time just to admire the atmosphere, architecture etc within the game. For example in uncharted 3 I spent a lot of time just admiring the paintings and such on the walls hehe. For me that's where the true immersion in these games lies. 

Yeah, I kinda knew what he meant but I wanted to stand up for Darksiders II since that franchise is in trouble and needs more sales (because of THQ's horrible financial situation).

BTW, I belong to that category too. I almost always take longer with a campaign than developers estimate. Probably because I'm an exploration type of guy and I don't want to miss anything.


hehe yeah well hopefully darksiders 2 will do well enough..god knows THQ needs the saes

this is good to hear, but I could've sworn Santa Monica said the SP took a slight hit because of the MP aspect.

oh that's too bad..I'm really intrigued by the MP component

If it's even half as decent as Power Stone, then we'll be good.


yeah..let's definitely team up! :D

Any ideas on what god you want to pledge your allegiance to?

Kinda ironic, but I've always like Aries :D.  I guess Aphrodite would be second.


I think only Zeus, Ares, Poseidon, Athena are available as factions right? 

 

and lol imagine a move set for aphrodite players...special attack...make the other players too horny to care about the goal for 60 seconds! 

I actually don't know who the factions are.  I was just assuming it was all of them.  If there's no horny indusing move set, then I guess I'll go with... someone who isn't in your list :P.  I was going to say Artemis, but I guess that's not an option, so Poseidon.

At Slimbeast: Yeah Castlevania was indeed a high quality game with a good lenght. Castlevania is one of a few games ive played about 20 hours without getting bored. So my excitment for Lords of Shadow 2 is very high.

Kingdom Herats 1+2 is also on of the games i can play 30-60 hours without getting bored. Maybe its because they are not open world games and have a more clear level structure.

Red Dead Redemption on the other side is a game i enjoyed the first 10-12 hours but then i got bored.
The only open world games i have ever finished was Infamous 2 and Batman Arkham City.
