Splinter Cell Conviction: Single player is only 7-8 hours long? :(

after waiting for a year for this game and all the delays, the least they could have done is make the single player campaign lengthy, 7-8 hours long is 7-8 hours short

Ubi I told ya.. just add a 2nd disk filled with about 30 hours of story driven cut scenes and viola - 10/10 !! :P

Seriously, me thinks SCC offers plenty of content, on-line & off.

This just became a rental.Marka1700

I see what you did there!

Dev run is 8 hours long - add 2 more for the average person, 4 more if playing on the hardest difficulty. Still longer than the majority of games this gen and SC:C has a co-op campaign and multiplayer. So why are people complaining?KittenWishes

lol that's some nice artificial extending there. it's 8 hours dude....

wellcome to this gen

I dont see why this is an issue. Purely time for time SC has an equivalent time to God of War 3 (remember there is a single player and coop). Make no mistake I think that both games are rentals only, I just dont understand the double standard that seems to be held..alextherussian

im not talking about gow3, im talking about SCC, gow 3 took me 12 hours to beat and it was all epic and all action, i could care less about the co-op, splinter cell is more fun to play alone,i wanted a nice long campaign of about 15 hours or so, i might still get it since i been waiting forever for it

Weren't you bashing GOW3 because it was only "8 hours long?"

Devs actually commented on that and said lulz that ain't true :P

..

Plus this solves your issue about there not being enough gameplay..

I could care less. I just played the demo and as long as the game can deliver for 7- 8 hrs straight I will be very happy. This might just be my favorite game this gen. I loved the other Splintercells made by ubisoft Montreal and Conviction has got me more excited than any other game this year and that includes Alan Wait and God of static camera angles 3.

Conviction has more than strictly single player in the package, however.

And it's GoW. What did you expect me to do?

My first run through Mirror's Edge took me no more than 5.5 hours. After that I was fully satisfied with the $60 + tax I had spent. But then I went on to replay it another 8-10 times (just the single player, not to mention all the extras).

Game length is meaningless. I'd rather play a game that is short and sweet instead of long, drawn-out and monotonous. Also, replay value trumps any length arguments. If the game can be replayed again and again, and in some cases in different manners, why does it matter how short or long it is?

If 7-8 hours is as long as they need to provide a great experience and deliver their story, then why are you questioning the length?

8 hrs is new average gameplay time so it doesn't surprise me, once games get into the 6 hr or less range then it gets to be too short.

And no one even cares. They just walk by like what he's doing is perfectly normal. City life is different. Pittsburgh is bad, but not that bad. Lol.

BioShockOwnz

Yes. Most games this gen are only 7-8 hours. Besides, there's a 5 hour co-op campaign, not mention the other modes.

Plus you're more than likely to replay it more than once.

Wasn´t GoW3 around 8/10h as well? Will that stop anyone from buying it?

Most people will buy it anyway.

Touche :lol:

Yeah but still, not too bad right ? :P

Why do people always think more = better? If the game concludes in a satisfying manner in 8 hours, is well paced, and manages to stay entertaining throughout, then let the game be 8 hours. Better than it being 15 hours with 7 hours of crappy fluff.

Hell, I would be fine with 6 hours if all 6 hours were outstanding.

Dev run is 8 hours long - add 2 more for the average person, 4 more if playing on the hardest difficulty. Still longer than the majority of games this gen and SC:C has a co-op campaign and multiplayer. So why are people complaining?KittenWishes

Same reason people are "complaining" about GOW3's length: because they don't own the console to be able to play it.

Using the same logic would put GOW3's campaign at 18hrs.

8 hours is not bad. MGS4 is 3 hours long if you skip all the cutscenes.

People were hating on Heavy Rain for this exact same reason...and because they didnt like the gameplay, but mostly for a short campaign

Its not all bad. Judging by the gameplay, you can experience it in multiple ways like mgs. Most mgs games can be done in under 6 depending on how you play it. Besides that, it cant really be seen as a surprise in todays gaming world. Most games, finish in that length, given the genre.
