we know nothing about the actual 100% completion time required for this game.

and even less about this so-called "DLC" which is as likely to be horse arm... I mean, bullet-vest as 10 hours add-on.

So I'm asking, is there a point to start a thread about a rumour of a rumour of a rumour?? What purpose does it serve again?

It serves the purpose of discussion.........

Er, why else are you on a gaming forum?

 


discussion of what? The first rumour? the second rumour? or the rumour based on another rumour?


Well you can discuss the rumours if you want.  But what I think the focus of this thread should be is the fact that Sony's "you don't need DLC because the game is HUGE already" argument is now well and truly debunked.

well thats only single player missions. What about free roaming single player, and multiplayer. theres well over 100 hours, well over.

 Which is what the dlc will be trying to expand upon.

You are itching for a ban, aren't you?

How is this argument debunked if the game is still large? 25-40 hours is a lot of time and that's if you play the game straight into the missions, most people will probably spend 45-60 hours i think.

 and yet... the topic states. "The truth..."

ironically it contains absolutely no truth to speak of, a bunch of speculation from fanboys.

Wow starcraft you're really getting desperate noe. What is this like the fourth flamebait thread you've started since you read IGN's review. Come on man just deal with it, if the shoes were switched I'd at least get some real facts instead of spinning things we already know.

Please spare us a little bit this is getting rediculous.

 i agree, going only striaght into missions will probably be 40 hours. thats still alot of time, considering i still play san andreas and vice city just for the free roaming and police chases.

25-45 is anywhere between a quarter and half of the original game length estimates.  How do you not consider that relevant?

Did you miss the part where I linked to IGN's review?

I could have sworn I did and that it said the game's length is 25-45 hours..........

 i was actually about to ask the same question if your going to use the high end estimation (10 hours for the DLC) for 1 side and low end estimation for the other side (25-45 hours) when it should be like this for high end estimations

PS3: ~100 hours of gameplay

360: ~120 hours of gameplay

Low end

PS3: 25-45 Hours of Gameplay

360: 25-45 plus extra fun stuff 

 still going to be a great game either way

Based on the review, I assume if you went straight through the missions you would be done in 25 hours.........
