Total average playtime of the game?

Dude! This information was public knowledge from time of the beta as well as from many conventions!

Lmao…come on…this was more than obvious!!!

There were no Chrome Plates Armore in the Middle Age. No tuning options no airbrush and nothing to pimp.

That post related to an interview done days before the releasing date, and nobody except the devs knew how long exactly the game would take in order to finish it.

I realize myself too that “dozen of hours” is nowhere near close to my actual playtime which is way higher.

I’m 140 hours in and have yet lots of side quests and story missions to beat. I like to go slowly and role play in these RPGs, so i can see myself playing for 100 extra hours.

That said, i think that the game is not prepared for people like me who wants to keep playing. After 60 or so hours, the game turned too easy. Money is too easy to get, good stuff is not expensive enough, bandits are too easy to kill, etc.

You don’t say Einstein?.. So pictures offend you? EXCELLENT!.. By the way, there were no computers, Playstations or X-boxes either, so I guess you won’t be playing the game, in order of keeping it real? Take your opinions and delusions of grandeur and shove them up your shiny armor!

Invading armies and bandits didn’t respawn in RL too

No fast run has been published yet?
I think that 20h is the minimum limit, but I’m rather a beginner myself.

If you want to weed every garden, and steal everything for every old whore, and engage in some elaborate plan to steal 1k when you have 50k you’ll never spend, then it can take hundreds of hours. If you speed through it all, under 20hrs.

I would say most people would finish it in 30-50hrs, but I also expect a lot of people will have to repeat a lot of what they’ve already done because of crashes and bugs.

The main questline took me around 60 - 65 hours to complete, but doing all the side activities, hunting treasure, and killin’ bandits I’ve racked up a total of 350+ hours on this game. It is amazing.

That is great! I am now around 120h and still didn’t kill Runt. Now just wandering, hunting, training, killing bandits and doing some side quests.
Also found some really nice easter eggs and interesting places - the game really is amazing.

I do not want to rush the game, however I can’t because of bugs :slight_smile: then again I’m at the 100 hour mark, and found out that I really enjoy hunting doe’s because they are really difficult to get. The woods are not very dangerous, should be more danger inside them, like noble hunting parties you should avoid or something that gives you a challenges.

As it is now, with a Henry that is OP in everything you can’t be beaten unless they are 6 or more NPCs.

If you like to grind you can drag it on a while. But I think (past a certain part in the game) you just run out of things to do. I think they should add bandit radiant quests. I do think Skyrim had more quests but they were the same stuff. Mods is what keeps it alive now.

You can get a lot of hours off this game. It’s not comparable to skyrim as far as content goes and it just might be roughly comparable to the witcher but it doesn’t really need to be. For it’s own game, it has enough content to be satisfying.

I personally like the game but I simply don’t think there are enough contents to even becoming close to competing with Witcher 3 considering all the 3 DLC witcher has and one of them is almost a game size DLC and this game has no DLC at least not yet.

even without the DLC still, the base game of witcher has more contents than this game.

For everyone who is at 100 hours+, how is your lag and how much worse has it gotten over time? What platform are you on?

Personally I noticed that the lag really became unavoidable at around 50 hours, at which point it got gradually worse up to the 100 hour mark where I finally decided that it had beaten me as it was almost unplayable. I’m playing on xbox one too, which means I can’t exactly sacrifice graphical performance to try and finish the game.

At the rate I am playing, the game will probably have a good 300 hours before I’m struggling to find things to do. But I don’t like to think how bad the lag will be if I tough it out to try and finish it. So, sadly I am waiting for a fix. I paid full price for this game and I was excited for it’s release, I’ll be damned if I don’t get my 300 hour RPG experience that I anticipated.

103h finished the main storyline, have been playing side quests and freeplaying but missed a lot of content as well

Lag isn’t worse but instability is. Instability happens once get more than 10 save files. Pop-ins/texture lag persists. It hasn’t gotten worse. Just distracting and mostly a Rattay issue

Getting close to 400h on vanilla PS4

Yeah I’m with you on that too, that’s why i said it skeptically. Still, this game isn’t finished yet and there’s still another act for the main story that’s supposed to be released in this game so maybe with that it will come closer.

Not sure of the value to be derived from comparing a rushed maiden product that nobody wanted to publish to a 5th gen title (Skyrim) and a 3rd gen title (Witcher 3).

KCD either stands on it own or doesn’t. Because I’ve made it to Erik quest (die is cast), have +1500 enemy kills, 800k groschen, and approaching 400h of gameplay, I have to say it stands on very solid ground as a enemy hunting game. The main quest line is interesting and shows much promise, but it’s a work in progress (since can’t proceed).

If WH were to stop development on KCD now, I’m not sure if I’d buy another title of theirs. WH hasn’t stopped and that matters. Final adjudication awaits full DLC rollout and more bug fixing
