And Mario 64 is 25 minute game =P

No, actually Mario 64 is a 20 minute game, 15 if you TAS it.

Or if you're not lazy and actually want to collect all 120 stars, it should only take you about 130 minutes. 100 if you TAS it.

TAS = Emulated speed run with re-records, frame advance/specific entry, and RAM reading for luck manipulation + other tools.

And back on topic: I think I'll really really hate that Gollum looking chick.


 lol, ok I was right with my first instinct.  I decided to err on the long side just to be safe.

The original article in this thread was talking about the average time it would take to finish HS (12-15 hours).  Rol then comes in and says the game is twice as long as GoW even though the average time of GoW is around the same length of time (12-15 hours). 


It seems like whenever a company/magazine/news source lists a game time, it is always like 2x what I spend on the game. They said Zelda Twilight Princess is 75 hours, I spend 39... and then 25 when I played through again.

Still, it'd be nice if a game could keep you occupied for more than 2 days.

 


It would keep most people going for more than 2 days, if they were doing other things rather than just sitting playing the game all day.

In a normal day no matter whether it is the weekend or during the week, I can only get an hour or two to play games.

So I reckon is a normal day for people a 12-14 hour game could easily last over a week.



Prediction (June 12th 2017)

@Legend11

The average time suggested in reviews I read in german media outlets for GoW was 8-9 hours. So technically my original comment in this thread was a little of a stretch. Of the people I know in person who've played the game (my brother and 3 friends), everyone finished the game below 8 hours. 


Every review I've read about the game that mentions average length says 12 hours or more (Gamespot, IGN, Eurogamer, etc).  Could you post a link to one of the german media outlets that said GoW averages 8-9 hours?

I have to support Rol. Speed runers are some of the most talented gamers out there. I finished God of War in 9 hours on my first time playing on spartan., so a skilled player can finish the game in 6 hours. There is a speed run for the game in 2:17.

It wasn't about speed runners. The original article in this thread was talking about the average time it would take to finish HS (12-15 hours). Rol then comes in and says the game is twice as long as GoW even though the average time of GoW is around the same length of time (12-15 hours). It doesn't matter how much time it took Rol, if someone else was the fastest person alive at GoW and somehow finished it in 3 hours would it make sense for them to come into this thread and say HS is 4 - 5 times longer?

About the rest of your post. Whenever I say "I must have been mistaken" it usually means that I give up trying to argue something because those I'm arguing with are not using logic and have instead resorted to emotions and fanboyism. As for asking people if they own Xbox 360s when I see people complaining about it, well that's sadly because in my experience the majority of the people I came across doing that don't own one. Yes one person I asked was able to prove he did own one but that doesn't discount the fact that others disappeared or simply refused to provide any proof. One of the other people I asked turned out to be a Gballzack sockpuppet claiming to own one but in fact didn't.

As for Halo, I see many threads and people bashing it and it seems like many of them have never actually tried it multiplayer or even single player for that matter. They also seem to accuse it of being more of the same dispite the fact that many of the biggest games coming out are sequels and that many of the people bashing it for being more of the same then play up another game like Super Smash Brothers Brawl, does that make any sense to you?

Anyways I am not a Don Quixote because what I'm fighting is very real and that is ignorance and bias. If someone is going to say something that is blatantly wrong then there's a good chance I'll call them on it.


 Again you post a responce and then try to end the thread..this time by asking for a lock, trying to make sure you get the last word? 

Good god man, let it go.


I do that when people start to get into the realm of personal attacks because it usually goes way downhill after that.  I was just saying that the average time for God of War based on reviews and  by the game designers themselves is 12-15 hours.  And since the same amount of time is being thrown around for Heavenly Sword that it does not mean that God of War is half the length or averages 6 hours for people to play.  Nobody has actually tried to argue that point I made.

As for Zelda I just found it strange they'd put an rpg in there instead of another action game.  I guess Rol just picked it out of random but some people (like me) can/could have read it a different way.  I'll drop that since it's apparent now that they just picked the game out of random.

Enough already.

More on-topic -- anything under 20 hours = weekend rental for me, much rather spend $8 at Blockbuster and finish it in two weeks and be done with it then $50-$60 for approximately the same experience, since I don't replay games all that often.
