GamesRadar: A lot of people are complaining about the length of God of War 3, claiming it takes 8 hours to finish. We reckon it takes between 10-12 depending on the difficulty setting, but it's definitely somewhere around there.
Considering the game is clearly a triple-A release, these complaints arguably say more about what people expect for their money than they do for the quality of the gameplay.
So tell us - how much game do you expect for your £40/$50? We've put together a short list of games to help you decide at which point you'd be happy with your purchase:
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
Suddenly this becomes an issue, God of War 3 must be a PS3 exclusive
all i have to say is reviewers had no problem with gow3 and neither do the people playing it now. i guess length only matters when the game is trash like odst. so the bots can scream 8 hrs for the rest of their miserable lives it isn't going to change the fact it is a masterpiece. : )
Any game which has a main story mood under 6 hours is too short.
unlike MW2 short ass campaign I'm willing to bet GOW III's will actually be worth playing.
7 hours or less is too short for 60$. 8 hours is ehh, but it better be hell of an experience.
Doesn't matter though because the only people who beat games like GOW (on their first play-through) within 8 hours are people who rush all the time and don't look in every area or fight every enemy. With games like that I end up beating them in 12-15 hours on the first play-through because I look everywhere I can and fight all the enemies, I take it slow and enjoy the experience.
These guys rush through everything and then act like it's Sony's fault they speed-ran through the game and then post bait articles about how the game is short so they could get more hits on their crappy website/blog that nobody would ever look at if it weren't for the flamebait.
