It's probably also a factor of the inherent inaccuracies of various methods of measuring playtime: I always liked that and wish more games would incorporate it, thought I can see why devs would rather not (*after 2 weeks of 8hr/day grinding* "what I beat the game in just 5 hours? Rabble rabble I want my money back rabble rabble angry online forum posts rabble rabble call valve a fag.") I know some rpgs (particularily oldschool JRPGs) do have a timer that shows you your continuous time.
Take Hitman series which have a fairly short "continuous gameplay" time, but due to the game's nature, it's "overall" is probably several times that. The first, again caaan be a bit more determinable, whereas the overall, again, will vary widely depending on player skill and difficulty level.
Overall is including reloading and replaying multiple sections. What I mean by "continuous gameplay" is if you played the whole game without dying or loading at all, without any repeats. shooters) but even so, a slow, methodic and stealthy player will probably take longer than a guns blazing rusher.Īlso, one thing that is never distinguished in reviews is the "continuous gamplay" vs. It can be vaguely applied to linear/corridor games (i.e. I donno, I feel playtime is very variable, and a useless metric in open world games / RPGs. This site is a joke, right? It states Skyrim lasts 5 hours, lulz. So, do absolute majority of people really play games like that - easy difficulty and haste, or they tend to understate spent time, or what? It actually irritates me when someone states a game is just 8 hrs when in reality it's 20. "Howlongtobeat" says an avarage "main+" playthrough of this very linear game is about 7 hours, and I can't imagine how it's possible if only not to play on easiest difficuly and constantly run forward without any stops to admire view, talk to characters (and there are really many optional conversations), things like that.
Well, I already spent about 10 hours on it and I'm only on 13th chapter from 19.
now I play The Darkness II, VERY SHORT game as they say. I almost always play on the highest difficulty available and tend to complete everything, but even "Completionist" column never is right for me, it usually takes 2-3x time from me to finish a game.į.e. NOT A SINGLE TIME I finished any game as stated, it always took considerably more time. I keep noticing that I spend MUCH more time to finish a game than people say it would take.
