You don't have to see things in such a black and white way for the sake of being argumentative. I'm just skeptical, it's not like I'm claiming I know the exact amount of content that will be available. 

Being skeptical is good. 15h would be fantastic, even 4h for a DLC is already quite good.

I don't think being skeptical for the sake of it is good, but in the right scenario yes, being skeptical is good. I'm glad we can see eye to eye on that, although I don't know why you questioned my post if that is your position on it.

Personally I don't think 4 hours is good for non-linear DLC but yeah, anything from 8-12(maybe 6 for a linear game) would be great! I loved this game quite a bit, had a lot of flaws but I want to see this become the go-to Playstation game. Hopefully it can keep up it's excellent reputation with more great content.

If the game is great and the price is right 4h is good. A lot of full games have campaign under 8h.

Well I just found the way you posted like you had some info that would contradict the OP. Sorry if it looked other way.

Also I usually preffer the game being more dynamic and shorter than most open world that extend the game with a lot of unnecessary sidequest and map size that you need to transverse.

I really enjoyed the story of HZD main game and I wonder how they’re to grip people with this dlc. I’ll be buying it but my expectation for the storyside of this are average at best (i obviously hope I’m proven wrong) they have a lot to live up to from the main games storyline which was really good if you read all the collectibles that gave a lot of the backstory content.

Oh ok, that's fine I'm glad we cleared that up I thought you were being defensive of the game for some reason.

I agree that shorter but better content is usually the way to go. I guess I just don't see that as likely in most open world games, so I think 8-10hrs would be nice.

Is this the first dlc for the game? Do they have others planned?

There is no other DLC planned. I'd say it's clear they're busy working on 2, otherwise they wouldn't put out the complete edition.

You weren't really criticizing the game (besides the story, which I like, but you didn't, it happen), you just were dissecating why it probably wasn't as lenghty, it was just pure curiosity and some snark unecessary attack =p

Very excited for this. I'm assuming that 15ish hours is every little sidequest and event you can do in the DLC, but that's still a lot of gameplay for $20 ($15 if you pre order and have Plus).



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

It doesn't really feel like a new game from the trailer and from what she said except for the snow angel bit, but will keep this in my wishlist as I'll be getting a PS4 next year.

I'm sorry, but I just don't really believe this. After the critical acclaim of games like Dark Souls and The Witcher 3 from a DLC standpoint, people are too quick to advertise ever DLC as an "expansion" or "practically it's own game".

15 hours of content is roughly half of my play time of the game, in which I completed pretty much everything in the game aside from maybe a few quest lines. About 8 of those hours were spent on the story, which ended up being terrible by the end of the game.

In order to have that much content it would have to be more than just one big area. It's probably mostly recycled content, or somewhat long main quests.

Wow. guess people are really different. I took way longer than 30hrs to finish the game. Thats also because I totally completed the game, with exception to tgose training dummies thing. I got the special amor and all that stuff and maxed out everything. Really can't see how anyone would have done that in 30hrs.

Then again, I was also playing on the hardest available difficulty on a clean playthrough.... so I died often in certain fights.

Also, I actually really liked the story. Like it just made sense and was a great take on the whole robot apocalypse thing.

I'm not really a fan of DLCs though... haven't ever bought a single DLC before. But I am strongly considerring this one. As long as they don'tr make me have to deal with stalkers.... hated those bastards.
