- Homerr, on 05/30/2008, -1/+103But on a high note, at 8 fps it will seem longer.
- iceooo3, on 05/30/2008, -1/+75Bring it on baby!
On another note, is that hellboy in the picture? WTF? - retral, on 05/31/2008, -0/+52I hear WoW is over 9000
- JasonCox, on 05/31/2008, -0/+49Crysis lasted 100 hours too... If only because I had to stop every 10 feet and wait for the cloak to recharge. ;-)
- Condemned, on 05/31/2008, -1/+40I'm not saying this is true of Far Cry 2, but I hate games that say they last for an amazing amount of hours, when really they only last for that long if you just do a lot of mindless crap that everyone hates. Assassin's Creed is a good example of this.
- DefaultGen, on 05/31/2008, -2/+35And Oblivion is "400" and Morrowind is "200" and GTA4 is "100." Seriously, these numbers never mean anything.
- SeaweedWater, on 05/30/2008, -0/+31dick-tasting RPGs?..Are you from Japan?
- jerrycan, on 05/31/2008, -0/+29deserted? I found plenty of guys and they had guns.
- ocharry, on 05/30/2008, -6/+35I hope the game itself is good because I'd rather have 8 hours of awesome,
mind-blowing gameplay than 100 hours of *****, dick-tasting gameplay. (referring to some RPG's) - Tunguska, on 05/31/2008, -1/+23I thought the original Far Cry was excellent. Had that sense that you were truly on a deserted island.
- mark076h, on 05/31/2008, -2/+23I'm just hoping it runs alot better than Crysis
- SyntraFTW, on 05/31/2008, -5/+24Oblivion has 500. :)
- SpeedSteamBoat, on 05/31/2008, -0/+19Portal proved that "x hours of gameplay!" is neither here nor there when it comes to how good a game is. There is a reason that you don't see movies advertised as "OVER 200 MINUTES OF CINEMA!" and books as "1900 PAGES OF READING!" When the rest of the game industry figures this out we might start to see more good games.
It's not about a game lasting forever or being too short at some specific number of hours. It simply shouldn't wear out its welcome or leave you feeling cheated out of something. - DrZmobie, on 05/31/2008, -3/+21WHAT 9000?
- InuX, on 05/31/2008, -0/+16I don't care how many hours a game is. As long as it's good, count me in.
- parallax7d, on 05/31/2008, -2/+17It's OVER 9,000!!!!!
- myshl0ng, on 05/31/2008, -0/+14And mutants, with guns.
- feanix, on 05/31/2008, -2/+16A 100 hours of what, exactly? Action packed gaming or getting lost in the savanah?
- palehorse864, on 05/31/2008, -0/+13You must have walked the wrong way. When I played it I had the sense that I was on an island with a bunch of angry guys with guns shooting at me.
- kingtobo, on 05/31/2008, -1/+13100 hours is only a good thing if the damn game is actually fun.
- Harbinger67, on 05/31/2008, -1/+13And 450 of those hours are spent crawling through hundreds of identical dungeons looting the same useless ***** from the same boring enemies.
Another 20 hours are spent on load times.
The final 30 are spent on the main quest and the more interesting side quests. - dullnation, on 05/31/2008, -0/+11It's probably the one digg decided on. They really should make it default to select no picture at all because people don't choose relevant ones..
- jonask84, on 05/31/2008, -1/+10It's interesting to note how awesome and groundbreaking Portal was with its two and a half hour gameplay,
yet still some developers seem to think 100 hour long "go to X and bring me back Y"-gameplay is the best way to go. - DuffyDirect, on 05/31/2008, -0/+9wake me up when someone makes something bigger than flashpoint or ArmA
- mrinsanity, on 05/31/2008, -0/+9Show yourself and fight like a man, American pig-dog! Yankee-shankee!
- googooly, on 05/31/2008, -0/+8thank god i wasn't the only one noticed the gameplay of all videos run average 20 fps.
- Skooma714, on 05/31/2008, -2/+10Traveling from point A to point B to get stupid ass FedEx missions and kill x number of y.
- Terr01, on 05/30/2008, -0/+8Yeah, I think someone picked the wrong picture.
- lennybird, on 05/31/2008, -1/+8There is no way you can get 500 hours out of oblivion. I did the main quest from the 80th hour to around the 90th. I did almost every quest possible, guilds and Knights of the Nine included. I was done with the game at 110 hours, 200 the most. Maybe with Shimmering Isles, you can get a little bit more...
- lacronicus, on 05/31/2008, -0/+7I could easily spend 100 hours in Crysis; I love that game. But then, I personally enjoy the challenge of perfect plan execution. I remember one particular mission where I had to sneak across a rope bridge guarded by two machine gunners and no less than 4 patrolling guards. It was too long to cloak across, and being noticed by any of them meant death by chopper. The thrill of trying to score 6 perfectly timed headshots (since you couldn't let any of them see the body of another without them calling for reinforcements) was a rush I've felt in no other game.
- Terr01, on 05/30/2008, -4/+11Now if only this time they gave it a real plot and story.
I was rather underwhelmed by the first game. It has like... what, one big plot twist and everything else was contrived "fight to get over there" situations. - NaziHatinChimp, on 05/31/2008, -0/+6And MGS 4 and GTA IV and Spore and Little Big Planet. It's another great year for gamers.
- suprxtragrav, on 12/09/2008, -0/+6but but but... wasn't it worth it when ALL the viewpoints showed you scenic vistas of the cities?
- zonk3r, on 05/31/2008, -0/+6Yes but how much of that time will be spent killing sharks?
- myshl0ng, on 05/31/2008, -2/+8How about "..for anyone with a triple-digit IQ"
Oblivion was so piss easy it`s pathetic. My dog would have finished it, and he`s dead. - lennybird, on 05/31/2008, -0/+6When the main quest is less than twelve hours long and I'm going city to city and region to region searching for ANY quest, I highly doubt I'm going to find something that will bump my play time up from 100 to 500...
- NaziHatinChimp, on 05/31/2008, -0/+6Hell according to my leaderboards I have played CoD4 WAY longer than that.
- stoanhart, on 05/31/2008, -0/+6wow!
- lacronicus, on 05/31/2008, -0/+6Keep in mind that Far Cry 2 does not have a "story' per se; it is a completely open ended quest where the only story objective is to kill some warlord. Everything else in the game, from your allies, to who dies, to what factions fight each other, is all dynamic. With that, the game is as long or as short as you want it to be, and will be as action-packed or as low-key as you want it to be.
- rrc589, on 05/31/2008, -0/+5It's not running on the same engine Crysis runs on, and the engine it IS running on is not as advanced as the Crysis engine.
- Amadeus2490, on 05/31/2008, -1/+6mmmmmmmm! shimpo ga domo oishii! om nom nom nom nom nom nom nom
::staring at television screen with blank look of horror:: - AlexanderZero, on 05/31/2008, -0/+5Really? I have 900 and there's nothing to watch.
- ultraJesus, on 05/31/2008, -0/+5Its not using CryEngine 2. They made their own for it.
- Maynza, on 05/31/2008, -2/+7I just want to make it clear I am burying you because you suck, not because you are speaking the truth.
- Dylson, on 05/31/2008, -1/+6I thought crysis was far cry 2......
- retral, on 05/31/2008, -3/+8Crysis ran flawlessly - lol. It wasn't optimized for *****.
- bob12321, on 05/31/2008, -0/+4In the future there will be 500 TV channels but nothing to watch.
- Cl1mh4224rd, on 05/31/2008, -0/+4Bingo.
Portal was about 3 hours if you kind of sucked (like I did). The awesomeness of a game can't be measured in hours. - Stevethegreat, on 05/31/2008, -1/+5No it does not, Ubisoft made their own engine. The Cry-Engine 2 (Crysis's engine) would never work in consoles admirably (you would have to lower the graphics to the equivalent of medium settings, which is -by itself- nothing spectacular, many games already have better graphics on consoles).
- nogChoco, on 05/31/2008, -0/+4I'm waiting for the 100hour video of the whole damn 50km² being flamethrowered.
