Ok that's one on the low end of the 8-15 hour spectrum. So far I've seen 5-9 hours.

And "Sony's new flagship IP"? Ok

12 hours --> Shawn from Canadian Online http://canadianonlinegamers.com/review/the-order-1886-review/


Admits he's a slow player and didn't really keep track of his playtime. Sounds just like a neogaf post.

10 hours from another reviewer, who, like the previous one I gave you, does not sound like a neogaf post. 

Quality Over Quantity

The Order's alleged length has come under scrutiny before release, after a YouTube user published a set of walkthrough videos that only lasted approximately 5 hours to complete the game. In my time with The Order, I did find it a bit on the short side--I finished in under 10 hours--but I felt utterly satisfied. I'd rather play a fantastic 10 hours rather than a mediocre 20. That time was spent experiencing a thoroughly enjoyable story, and left plenty of room for exploring items and collectibles that round out the world.''

So, it could easy last 11-12 hours.

Ok so that's a main story + extras playthrough.

Don't know :  ''and left plenty of room for exploring items and collectibles that round out the world.''

Maybe my english comprehension :)    left plenty of time for exploring would mean what you suggested. But left plenty of room for exploring items ? So it could take longer right ?

The 10 hours included experiencing the full story and exploring items + collectibles.

The sites who finished in 6-8 hours did what? A speedrun? No

You might want to look at the thread title again.

This is not a thread to talk about the game's length.

jlmurph asked a question and I replied. Easy.

God dang it, people. Even in a performance analysis there's a debate about the game's length.

Or course, because it is easy to render a beautiful game at a solid 30fps when it is only 5 hours long...  ;)

This game isn't even 24fps? Pff, the game is totally not cinematic enough!


I am just glad they did not try pushing for 60fps.  At twice the framerate, that would have made the game only 2.5 hours long.

Yeah, I think they mentioned it simply because the topic is in that "elephant in the room" space where everyone feels obligated to speak on it regardless of the context.
