IntenseFATE98 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Watch Dogs will take the average player between 35 and 40 hours to complete, according to the game's creative director. Ubisoft's Jonathan Morin explained on Twitter that most people who do some free roaming should expect to see the closing credits within that time frame, though anyone wanting to see everything will be looking at a playtime approaching triple figures. This is before taking into account the 8-player multiplayer we wrote about last week. The playtime has presumably seen a boost due to the new content that has been added to the game as the result of multiple delays. While the game finally has a release date in May, Ubisoft previously delayed Watch Dogs just a month before the game was supposed to come out in November 2013, which in turn led to us chatting to the developer about quite why this was done. Despite a scare last month when the game's trademark was abandoned, Ubisoft since explained that such a move was the result of fraud, before successfully getting the trademark restored.

Parker Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I did read that it would be about 35-40 hours for most people but if you want to do absolutely everything in the game expect it to take 100 hours or so. Definitely a decent length for a game like this. Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoreTheVictim Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Much longer than the average game, nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomato Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I just hope it isn't repetitive stuff like AC series tends to do, I know its different team and all but still Ubisoft published and that's enough to get me unease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSAA_Advisor Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Nice but I hope as well nothing repetitive, kind of sick of that stuff. Well shall see what Ubisoft has exactly done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omar Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I was not expecting it to take that long, now everyone's concern is whether if those hours will get repetitive or not. If the game actually takes 100 hours to 100% and it keeps players interested with dynamic stuff, then they'll have got quite an achievement. I don't have a PS4 yet, and my first game will most likely be Infamous: SS, but this is definitely one to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoreTheVictim Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Ofcourse it's not going to be boring! This is going to be one of the best games ever IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quikdrawjoe Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 They included some free roam in that time. Still pumped for this game, as the open world/free roam aspect is what has me most interested. Hopefully I won't be disappointed like I was in Skyrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lporiginalg Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Ya I'm with Mayus on this and hearing it actually makes me less excited for this game. Open world games are always too easy, and I don't want to spend 100 hours playing an easy game. There's just no way that doesn't get boring and if it really takes that long then chances are it must have some stuff along GTA5 lines, like 500 collectibles....

DarknessKey92 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I feel like this game is going to be worth all the money you pay. I am glad I was able to resolve my GameStop Fully Paid off Order of Both Collector's Edition Game & Guide. Fucken paid-off this game soo long ago. And I already have high respect for the developers pushing the release date back, to make sure the game comes out as best as it can be. I just hope it doesn't get the "Day One error/bugs treatment" like many great things do when they release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontwaketheKIDS Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 40 hours was about what I was expecting. See I don't know about that. Most open world games get boring pretty quickly (looking at you RDR) because generally there isn't a heck of a lot to do so you just run around a big open space looking for something to keep yourself occupied. RDR's story should have been about 10 hours shorter because it really began to drag by the end. Games like Borderlands are another great example of this as it is just a huge empty world with random events spattered around it. Fallout 3 was nice and big but the world was too samey for me so until you reach your destination you were, once again, just running across a huge empty world. A game like inFAMOUS used it's open world well because there was always something to do keeping you moving towards a goal. If it's anywhere in the neighborhood of RDR, I'll be a happy gamer. Let's just hope the MP isn't tacked on and there aren't any more delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalChaos72 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 this game better not be like far cry 3 or i aint getting it, i dont even really like ubisofts games anyway except driver :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masamune Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Well if I decide to get this I'm glad I'll get my moneys worth out of it, I hate it when I pay $50-$60 for a game & can beat in 10-15 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverstag88 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I would rather have an amazing 10 hour experience than a mediocre 35-40 hour one. Hopefully, I'm wrong but I feel like this game is going to get repetitive fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadlygunner18 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Time to beat the game or is this the time to 100% the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntenseFATE98 Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Time to beat the game or is this the time to 100% the game? I believe its the time required to beat the game. One of the guys from Ubisoft tweeted that it would take 100 hours for the 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Jedi More Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Between 35 and 40 hours means 3 to 4 months for me so that's amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDSHIRT64 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Ubisoft publishes the game... Does this mean the missions types will be as follows: Tail Target, Eavesdrop Convo, Stay out of combat? While the game does look great and seems like it would be awesome to play, the lack of variety Ubisoft is famous for with their AC series has me a bit nervous.. I will just wait until MrC gives his review of the game before I buy it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 That is strange, I could've sworn this topic was about Watch Dogs so why are we talking about RDR? I don't mind getting off topic a little bit but when the majority of the thread is arguing about a completely different game it has gone a little too far. Keep it on topic and act like adults please.
