Control takes around that long to beat and that was one of my favorite games this year. I don't think it'll be that bad.

It's not a big problem if it's well paced imo.
Especially if the optional stuff or exploration etc... is fun. Usually those short times only consider people rushing to the finish line.
I have Control.
I spent more time than this on the game and I'm not even halfway through.
That's why I said "for these types of games", because exploration and rewards usually give it more length. And in Control's case, I'm sure you can rush it to finish it but it kind of goes against the best the game has to offer (so far).
I didn't say it was a big problem. I said I had a big problem. As in, for me.
If it's a short well paced experience I'm sure that's great for EA access users, for me if I get this I'm staring at 70 euros. I couldn't justify this.
So after seeing the clear inspirations the game took from other games I enjoy and were meaty enough (regardless of semantics and nomenclature) , I said it would be really disappointing to hear it's really short.
That's it.
Yes, I edited my post long before you posted as I realized that.
Why? Isn't that the norm for Metroidvanias? Pretty sure I spent around 20-30 hours on Metroid Prime as well.
Don't expect this to be an actual metroidvania. It's probably going to be failrly linear/uncharted styled but with side-rooms and areas that are pocket-sized metroidvanias.
Replayability is more important to me than a game's intrinsic length. Metal Gear Rising is a very short game, but it is one of my favorites games of all time. Sekiro is, in comparison, a huge, meaty game, yet I love both equally. I absolutely would appreciate more content in both, but I'm not dissatisfied at what they bring because every second presented is intently excellent due to the underlying mechanics.
I'm hoping this game even approaches the level of enjoyment I get from MGR and Sekiro. I know it's a much more accessible game, but I'm not so snobbish as to be incapable of liking an entire spectrum of combat mechanics and design. I enjoy Batman and old Assassin's Creed games!
What I've read regarding the decisions they've made for difficulty levels is very promising. Frankly, I hope the hardest difficulty is unlockable in the vein of DMC games. I find that to be an easy metaphorical carrot to drive replayability, but otherwise I'll just start with the second highest difficulty and go up from there.
Ultimately, if the gameplay is good, then I can enjoy replaying this for years - just as I do with MGR and Jedi Knight 2.

it's just, ill probably fall in love with this game so yeah the more time i spend in it the better. honestly if it's just like 6 planets that would be disappointing to me. perhaps if there were like, dense as fuck with so much to do in them it would be alright but i would rather have more varied environments. at least judging from the previews, the enemy variety is def there, at least on Zeffo.
Those are some very weird expectations (12-15 hours especially is fucking hilarious and that would be a straight insult). Based on what exactly? There are 5+ planets with a metroidvanian leveldesign. So backtracking and shortcuts with souls like combat. Why would this be a 3-4 times shorter game than Sekiro and Bloodborne? The game should have some good funding behind it with EA. Respawns second development team started making this somewhere around 2014-2015. There's absolutely no indication the game will be that short, on the contrary.
So? Uncharted 4 is 15 hours if you rush through the story from A to B and that's a linear game.
I trust Respawn that this is way longer.
That's what I expect, but if the game takes longer to beat then that would be better considering their isn't any drop in quality.
People that ordered from CDKeys: Any idea of when to expect the code? I'm guessing around pre-load...?
I wonder if they will sell Steam keys for it now that's on the store.
It'll still be Origin
it depends on the game, sometimes its in time for preload, and other times it's day before the release
If anyone else was curious, this game will not have a trial on ea access pre-release
And similarly does not have an early release on Origin Access Premier.
As much as it sucks not playing it early, it's a great call tbh.
Never underestimate the power of a speed runner, even on a blind playthrough.

Probably because you'll be able to finish it within the trial limitations.
Trials should be game-by-game specific and not time specific, so for instance in this game; first 25% or something.
Trials in the past have had limits before. It's to do with spoilers in this instance.
Note I was not talking about a trial in any case, I was referring to the usual 5 day early release of the full game.
Even though it won't have early access, does that necessarily mean there won't be a trial once the game releases?

Yea it sucks that we won't be able to play it early, hell i was going to buy EA access for 1 month for November just to play it early.
But i get it, it's a single player game, it won't work for that type of game, maybe they think people can beat it in early access.

So I bought Battlefront II because it's on sale at 7 bucks right now, and I have to say I am impressed by the support EA has given to the game and how DICE managed to make something really good out of a disastrous launch.
I'm a lot more confident now for Fallen Order as EA clearly is trying to salvage the SW licence. I also didn't know it was on STEAM. I think I will pass on Death Stranding to get this. :x

Been thinking of pulling the gun on this as well since you can pre-order it through steam, but feels weird paying full price for a game now a days...

BF I DLC were also really good.
Both BFI and BFII had poor launches (BF2 still sold 7 million copies in the quarter despite the controversy), but the post-launch support was extraordinary, no wonder they sold 33 million copies.
Well BF 1 made you pay for it so that was kind of unacceptable. (bought game at launch)
BF 2's redemption is entirely free so the amount of updates and content it keeps getting is absolutely insane. (on top of not splitting the playerbase. But I guess some modes suffer from the leveling system in that regard. Still, minor gripe for such a fantastic turnaround)
I'd install only the flight portion of BF2 if I could, simply because it's so damn good and I care nothing for the rest of the game. Disney needs to license their IPs out to every developer worth a damn to create fully realized Star Wars and Marvel entries of every genre.

Where is it on sale? Origin still says it's 30 bucks and PSN says it's 17 bucks.
7 dollars with PSN+ (which you require to play the game in the first place so ...)
Twelve hours...? For a third person metroidvania-style game? That seems...abnormally short, especially for a game that will presumably have a LOT of cutscenes compared to your usual Castlevania or Metroid.
It's just people guessing. Nothing has been officially stated yet. Agree with you, though.
Sounds perfect to me.
I just want a good ass video game. I don't want a longer video game just for the sake of it being longer.
Don't know where you got the idea this game was going to have a lot of cut scenes. From the footage we've seen I suspect they'll be quite short for the most part.
Nope, I've asked this question several times in what feels like ten million threads and never got an answer :(
It's a Star Wars game with a bunch of known actors in it. They're absolutely going to make use of those performers - there will be significantly more cutscenes than something like a Metroid Prime game or an Igavania by that nature alone.
since i will be getting it through origin, i would be delighted with a tight-as-hell 10-hour campaign and nothing more. if there's more content to justify a longer runtime, fine, but i care infinitely more about pacing than longevity.
there literally has not been a good single-player star wars game in like 15 years. if one comes out that actually makes people want more, it's doing something right.

Nothing beyond the fact that there will be a higher framerate mode on the Pro and X.
Sure, I'm just saying I don't think this is a Kojima production where we're going to be enduring lengthy cut scenes driving up the play time by hours.
This seems unlikely. I think we'll see review at least a day before release.
