A bit on the short side perhaps, compared to 3 n 4 which took at least 50. Didnt say if this included side quests or not also arent most UBI games 100+ ers nowadays?

"Only"? That's a damn sight better than a CoD campaign's 6 hour length. I got the impression that was an estimate about just going straight through the campaign missions and shirking much of the side content. Plus most people goof around a bit on the side and aren't always actively engaged in a specific activity as well when playing these games so I don't think there is much to worry about. 25 hours for a campaign is a lot when they're talking specifically about the core narrative. It's an open world game so the average person isn't going to just blast straight through the main game as quickly as possible... I'm not gonna over-think it and make somethin' outta nothin'...
That's good for a 'critical path' playthrough.
If you take your time fishing and do all the things, it'll take you much longer.
Agreed.
Time to complete the campaign is not a good measure for judging the worth of a game's single player campaign in general, it does not matter if the single player campaign takes long to complete but is completely void of actual content and variation. I'd rather take a short, well-made campaign with missions that are difficult over repeating the same thing for a hundred hours any time. Also judging a game's worth by it's length is very inaccurate since this varies from player to player.
But the one thing with Far Cry is it generally does not force you to complete the repetitive open-world activities so I have no complaints about it.
This is why game makers tend to avoid quoting play times,
because it's so individual.
COD? Why do you want to compare to the worst out there? Wouldnt it be more logical to compare to FC3 and FC4 ? But yeah Dan Hay say it would take 25 hours for a good player but Dan didnt say if this involved side quests or not. Guess I start playing on hard so I get bang for my bucks.
In conquering one small outpost, you could stealthily take 30 minutes picking off enemies,
or run in with grenades and do it in 5.
As pointed out, the difficulty will make a huge difference also, as will all the arcade modes.
Nothing here suggests to me that the game is less dense than FC3 and FC4.
Trying to remember why FC3 n FC4 took so long I remember hunting animals so I could craft bigger better tools. Will this be the same deal?
i heard it roughly takes a good 15 to 25 mins to do a quest and if you look on the map and see how many quests are in each region, it comes close to being 150 there.. I'm sure as the game plays along it gets harder and you will need more time.. so that is a lot of gameplay there and that isn't including stuff like fishing, hunting and so on to get money and exploring and whatever else people do in open world games.. I think that is a great deal of time of the game and pretty optimistic that the story of it is going to be amazing
Doesn't bother me because i only use the map editor and that will give 1000's of hours over many years, great value.
