Is 8 Hours Too Long For A Single Player Campaign?

Discus and support Is 8 Hours Too Long For A Single Player Campaign? in XBoX on Consoles to solve the problem; I'm glad we have 8 hours to be honest. I loved the first titanfall, but it was sorely missing a campaign. I hope it's more than just multiplayer with bots. Discussion in 'XBoX on Consoles' started by Goth Vampirella, Aug 12, 2016.

    Hello "Lei Fang DOAX3" Is 8 Hours Too Long For A Single Player Campaign? :)

    ..........

    Congratulations on graduating from Halo's Heroic difficulty! However, reviewing your post, I noted that you've chosen the 'last-gen' versions of each Halo game. But wait, don't you own the Xbox One too? Did you not consider the Master Chief Collection for
    its 'current-gen' overhaul? I've just finished a brief return to duty, running through a number of cross-game playlists, and as ever the speed and efficacy of current-gen is second to none. Hard to believe that you'd consider stepping back, especially to play
    through the entire series!

    Not only that, but a concerted effort to do better (now that you've been initiated, no true Halo fan can call it quits until Legendary is put to bed) means there's like a ZILLION Gamerscore to be had! I jest, but it's close... some 6000G, and plenty of incentive
    for replay. Although it's arguable that eight hours would be an adequate runtime for most "normal" FPS games...

    Back in the day it was normal for Legendary newbs to take almost that long to finish just *one* of Halo: CE's legendary missions - myself included lol. But yeah, like any armchair athlete, it's all muscle memory by now because Master Chief is certainly a
    tough - but fair - taskmaster. Is 8 Hours Too Long For A Single Player Campaign? ;)

    Have a nice day or afternoon or (Legendary) campaign "Lei Fang DOAX3" Is 8 Hours Too Long For A Single Player Campaign? :)

    Was going to make the same comment as Skridger, i.e. hope it's not just multiplayer with bots!

    I never believe the quoted time for a campaign anyway, I like to take my time and enjoy a game. If they are saying it's an 8 hour campaign then it's probably more like 15 for me, and as others are saying by the time you've replayed it on harder difficulties
    your play time has gone up again.

    I'm guessing a lot of people might treat this a bit like COD anyway and jump straight into multiplayer and ignore the campaign. Especially if they've played TF1 and are used to there not being a campaign.

    I can't remember which Halo it was on 360, but I remember doing it on Legendary and one of the last few missions you were in a scorpion tank (or some kind of vehicle) driving along a big long road and I'm sure it took me about 8 hours just for that one mission
    after dying like a gazzilion times lol!

    Hello "Blu Swirl" Is 8 Hours Too Long For A Single Player Campaign? :)

    ..........

    (1) I didn't buy Halo: Master Chief Collection because as awesome as the Master Chief is, I am sick and tired of playing as him. The only reason that I bought Halo 4 was to play Spartan Ops, I didn't care at all to play the Story Mode of Halo 4.

    Halo 3 is my favorite Master Chief game Is 8 Hours Too Long For A Single Player Campaign? :)

    Halo Reach is my favorite Halo game ever Is 8 Hours Too Long For A Single Player Campaign? :)

    Halo 5 was a great game (except for the part where I had to play as the Master Chief, I wish that these parts were just cutscenes). I want to play a Halo game where it is all about Team Osiris Is 8 Hours Too Long For A Single Player Campaign? :)

    (2) I play to have fun, Legendary difficulty setting is not fun. Legendary difficulty is the exact opposite of fun.

    (3) I don't care about achievements and gamerscore LOL Is 8 Hours Too Long For A Single Player Campaign? :)

  5. The only way I won't finish the campaign first before going into the MP, is if it's boring, dislocated and doesn't hold my interested.

    What has someone's change of tag got to do with anything anyway?

    Is 8 Hours Too Long For A Single Player Campaign?

    Think Genchy hit the nail on the head. Depends what sort of game it is, I personally wouldn't want like a 30 hours first person shooter game, itwould get boring, 8-15 hours is long enough for that type of game.

    Plus Titanfall is mainly a multi-player game, they're only tacking on a single player because of all the out cries on their last game, I personally didn't think it needed one.

    Is 8 Hours Too Long For A Single Player Campaign?

    Eight hours is plenty for some titles, I would prefer a punchy action filled shooter campaign of that length over one that just dragged on repeating itself. Other games like Deus Ex, Mass Effect, Witcher suit longer more involved campaigns as the stories
    can stand up to extended scrutiny. I would say eight hours for Titanfall would be about right for me.

    But for regular or avid gamers 8 hours is way too short. I need to get around 20+ to feel like I got my monies worth depending on how much I spent.
