Awesome!
MostJadedGamer  +   271d ago
Awesome news out of open world games I usually get a lot more hours out of the game then the publishers says. So 32, and half hours of content should equal 40+ for me.

so 30 hours of gameplay? (31 for ps3) pretty good!
WeskerChildReborned  +   271d ago
Totally since most games on average only last about 8-16 hours.
NastyLeftHook0  +   271d ago
that's sad but true. also, you cannot forget getting all of the trophies ect, that takes time too.
ABizzel1  +   270d ago
Most games dont need to be more than 8 - 16 hours.

After that they generally fall into a repetitive cycle, grinding cycle, or simply loss focus of the main objective.

Some games need to be 20+ hours (RPG's, MMO's, etc...), but shooters, Action-Adventure, and other games are just fine in the 8 - 16 hour mark.

Sweet. The only other game I got nearly that much time in before finishing was RDR.

This will be like AC2 in that we finally get lotsa bang for our buck.

Hope multiplayer has had some love put into it - I'd like to spend some time in a polished, NON shooter MP for once.

They said TOTAL. So I think that includes all the extra stuff. Main game will be about 19hrs.
Biohazard8860  +   271d ago
awesome cant wait to play it :D
DudeJets  +   271d ago
What they didn't mention is half of that is loading screens where you can move around an empty room
yabhero  +   271d ago
Wow you and your agreeing friends must really hate AC...
Freakazoid2012  +   271d ago
Hating is the "IN" thing to do for kids atm.
DudeJets  +   271d ago
Actually I rather enjoy the stories and have bought every title day 1 since the original. But the loading times are pretty poor and you do control a character in the animus limbo during load screens. And I'm sick of Devs counting gameplay out of all the shit little pointless bits in games which no doubt they are doing.
seinfan  +   271d ago
I thought your first comment was hyperbole, but then you essentially attempt to justify it by saying that the devs count the loading times as part of the gameplay time. I now believe that you're just insane. Unless you make it an effort to spend your time in the loading screen, the loading times in AC would make up perhaps less than 5% of the total time you're playing.
DudeJets  +   271d ago
Yes I am actually clinically insane.

Actually no I didn't state that anywhere in actual fact I didn't give any indication of what part of the game I see as pointless gameplay. The loading screen comment was sarcastic I do apologise that obviously being a text paragraph being able to determine that can be difficult.

However Devs class find 100 feathers as 4 hours of gameplay at times, and things along those lines are in actual fact what my comment relates to, I have no doubt that I'll finish AC3 main and side story's if it has any in less than 10hours. But no that won't include looking for flags and rubbish as quite honestly I find that as dull as watching the wind blow the tree.

I wonder if there talking about completing everything. Because if they are. That's normal. I had that time for revelation trying to get all the achievements and doing viewpoints and crap. They better be talking about the story.
kuntryboy  +   271d ago
THIS IS GREAT!!!......... as long as it's not repetitive
jaymart2k  +   271d ago
So really 20-25 hrs

We gamers always beat the times devs say.
MostJadedGamer  +   271d ago
Actually its totally the opposite especially for open world games. I find I always get a lot more hours then the developers says.

And if your paying $60 for a game you shouldnt be in a rush to finish it. In a open world game You should be getting more hours out of it then the developers says. There is something wrong with you if your not.

SAE  +   271d ago
Not for me , i complete it in half the time they say , when i say complete it i mean 100%
SAE  +   271d ago
what , so playing the way i like or good is just wrong ?..
it's normal to me , maybe because the games are tooo easy for me , it's not my fault , it's not like i want the game to finish in half the time >.< ..

you people just like to disagree >.< .........
Gumtrol  +   271d ago
We are disagreeing because we doubt you will 100% AC3 in 15 hours like you said -.-
SAE  +   271d ago
You cant do it doesn't mean it's not possible to others -.- ...
3-4-5  +   271d ago
30 hours + the extra 10 I spend just wandering around + 50 + hours of multiplayer = A good gaming experience. can't wait.
strange1986  +   271d ago
Yup, I figure I'll add a good chunk of just dicking around time to that number. Sounds good to me.
omi25p  +   271d ago
For me it will be 0 Days. 0 hours and 0 minutes
ConstipatedGorilla  +   271d ago
You should give it a try. I always end up beating an AC around Christmas break when I have more time.
omi25p  +   271d ago
I'm not buying it on principle. I do not like being lied to by a developer.

If they show footage of Connor actually being neutral during the Revolutionary war i will buy it.

So far they have not.
martinezjesus1993  +   271d ago
@omi they already showed him killing both americans and redcoats so yea maybe you shuld do a lil more investigating before you talk
Neo Nugget  +   271d ago
Pretty sure they have, bro.
rpd123  +   271d ago
So you're not buying a game because the marketing department (completely different from the people who made the game and said he was neutral) showed him killing more red coats than Americans? Seems like your principles are kind of shitty.
Eamon  +   271d ago
Ever thought that perhaps Ubisoft don't want to spoil which bluecoats you will be killing in AC3?

If it was splashed across every trailer I'm sure it would kill the experience in the game.
TheATIGuy  +   271d ago
Same here, Ubisoft have pissed on their PC fan-base for too long.
seinfan  +   271d ago
You're either a troll or just an idiot.
3-4-5  +   270d ago
Obviously they aren't going to show him slaughtering Americans , whilst trying to sell the game to Americans.

Did it upset you when Ezio killed other italians ?

or non italians ?

What is the difference. Get off your high horse.
swat_teem  +   271d ago
YES 30 hours i can not wait for this game!
Capt-FuzzyPants  +   271d ago
My brother always beat the other ones in a day, maybe 2 if he took a break. Good to see that this game will be much longer. I like games that take forever if they're good, and this definitely looks good.
MYSTERIO360  +   271d ago
wow just when thought the game couldn't get any better i get 30 hours of single player on top of a possible 40+ hour multiplayer, i cant wait for this game.
Hanuman  +   271d ago
Going back to older saves and dying in some games, does not contribute to the total amount of playing.( wich is pretty obvious)But If you count all the re-runs and saves that some games don't give you "credit" for, a game like Oblivion and Fallout owe me a thousand hours of my life...
TotalHitman  +   271d ago
Awesome, considering it took me 20 hours to complete ACII.
FarCryLover182  +   271d ago
Imagine if some content wasn't cut for DLC (heh, we know it's probably true, but it was inevitable). Would the game be 50+ hours???
SuperStrokey1123  +   271d ago
I hope they dont make it long just to make it long then...
