help-life 2 hours

[Subz]

how many hours is halflife2? doom 3 is around 20~ on medium settings.


how much half life2?

 

[PatPwnt]

like 34 b

 

[McFly]

prolly 40 on medium

 

[Subz]

ehh 40? you sure? hl1 was around 15....

 

[craig]

I reckon it'll be 40 if we take in all the eye candy and wander around as much as possible, but experienced gamers who want to just play the game through will no doubt finish in 8 / 16 hours.

ehh 40? you sure? hl1 was around 15....

I think it was considered 40. Valve is also saying HL2 will possibly be longer than HL1.

 

[yadalogo]

Gabe said like 45+ hours of gameplay for an average gamer! doom3 aint got nothin on hl2, nothin!

 

[slider3005]

it took me a lot longer than 15 hours to finish hl the first time. probably closer to twice that actually.

Doom 3 is more of a horror game. I'm sure after 40+ hours of that, anyone would go crazy. Doom 3's graphics are also superior and you can't prove me otherwise!

 

[Subz]

ok i hoep so.

 

[poseyjmac]

its only about 4 hours if you use the secret super mario warp zone

 

[Subz]

errrrrrrrrr... you mean the flute.

 

[Polykarbon]

Entirely depends on your skill level.

Deus Ex: IW was said to be about 20 hours of gameplay. I beat it in 8 and did every single side mission possible.

45 hours is a very rough estimate for a fps game. Especially one that isn't in the FPS/RPG genre.

 

[Subz]

deus ex 2 blew monkey nuts.

 

[Kouler]

How come i like games that ppl dont like?

DX:IW
FarCry
Condition Zero

Of course I like others that ppl like

Half-Life
Halo
UT2004

Its weird

 

[Citizen 1150421]

you know what doom 3 has you know what? a quicker release date..

thats all

hurry up gordon and upload.

 

[McFly]

Get urself onto those cds gordon!
Burn baby Burn!

 

[El Cid]

I think this thread has already been done and the time was like 36 to 40 hours.

 

[Subz]

wow those 3 games are like crap on a crapstick.

 

[iamaelephant]

Please stop it with this question....

omg the hype is dying

 

[czrsink]

I never understand why people feel the need to try and finish a new game in the quickest time possible. What's the point? With games nowadays, there are so many things going on in the background, what's the point of rushing?

I feel like saying "SHTOP SHHTOPP" (reference to the Grolsch adverts in the UK)

 

[lans]

Well, if people ask the same questions again and again - it's obvious then, aint it?

 

[Gorgon]

as long as it takes. the longer the better.

Doom3 over 20H WOW
HL2 over 35H wow

 

[Moejoe]

it's gonna be 32 hours, 16 minutes, 12 seconds. at least to the experienced gamers. for those less 1337, 46H, 59M, 19S.

In other words, wait 'til the damn game is out, and use the search button.

call of duty - 2 days = £17.50 a day
painkiller - 2 days = £17.50 a day
halflife2 - projected 2 days = £17.50 a day
doom3 - projected 2 days = £17.50 a day

value for money - 2

40 hours gameplay!!! whoopie shit. I can play scrabble longer than that.

It all depends on how fast you play.

Call of duty is not known for its incredibly long singleplayer...... so thats not a very good comparison.

Great adverts.

and a great beer too once you get used to the aftertaste.

Very true, it was short compared to MoH, wolfenstein etc. But no shorter than practically every other new game that comes out.
If HL2 lasted as long as Morrowind I would be a happy bunny

 

[oldagerocker]

Morrowind takes awhile to get into, it's abit boring at first as you dont have anything major to do but its a great game, with lots of little things in... like you can become a warewolf
I hope HL2 has lots of little details and secret bits

Whats worse is that they may even get paranoid..... :angel:

 

[KurtCobain]

If u scout for secrets and don't rush thru it on medium 35-40hours probably (mostly depending on how much u look for secrets andd your skill)

actually it depends entirely on how u want to play the game.
most pple are good enough to get through the obstacles of a SP game quickly...so what ir really should come down to is what kinda gamer u are?

are u one to rush through to the ending?
are u one to explore every nook and cranny.. taking ur time? (that would be me)

personally i'll get more enjoyment out of taking my time.. and im sure im not alone on this..

 

[DevgruSeal]

The thread name is help-life. What is help-life...

I'm guessing for me it'll take a long time. I want to look at the stuff..blow things up..experiment with the engine...

Do you play 20 hours a day? Jeez... you could, I dunno, get a life?

Nice avatar though

 

[wayne white]

bluesnews said it will be 20 to 30 hours.

 

[Iconoclast]

There's not a chance it'll be more than 15 at the most.

 

[PvtRyan]

There's not a chance it'll be more than 15 at the most.

Why not? I've spend a lot more than 15 hours on HL, so why couldn't this be the case for HL2?

 

[Daiceman9]

bluesnews said it will be 20 to 30 hours.

well, now its official, the game is 20 to 30 hours, someone please inform valve! :E

 

[panaticus]

I don't think anyone will rush the game when they first install it, people will be checking things out alot.
I think 40 hours is a fair estimate your first time going through HL2.
Which depending on how much time you have to play each day, could be from 2 days to a more average 5-6 days of gaming if you come home from work/school and play untill it's time for bed

Could easily play it a second or even a third time.
Switch between CS source or other HL2 multiplayer games/mods and it might last as long as HL1 did.

But that would be sort of a miracle.
