Dying Light 2 Will Take About 500 Hours To 100%

It’s all PR etc etc.
500 hours will be a very extreme perfectionist time if it really takes that long, covering every inch of the open world.
I think main mission campaign around 40 to 50 hours, with side missions maybe a good 100 hours.

Gaming world so crazy and PR at the moment😂

Ok...

Not that theres anything wrong with lots of content, but if an open world game touts 500h to 100% it, then that sounds like theres a lot of repetitive/tedious busy work. Id rather have a strong and well paced single player campaign than that. But then again, maybe this game just isnt for me then.

Is there a rule that says you shouldn't make games too long? Should developers not be allowed to create whatever games they wish? Because here's the thing, if you're intimidated by long games like this one, rest assured there are hundreds of other games for you to play both now and in the future that will be of a length that satisfies you. Not all games are for everyone, but that doesn't mean that these games shouldn't exist. It's important that we have both short and long experiences for those people who want them.

Isn't Stalker 2 also hundreds of hours long? But this is for 100% completition. I only ever play the story and soon as that's done, I stop playing

Everyone has their own play style. Some people enjoy long games nothing wrong with that.

What would worry me (albeit its all optional) is if the main story and side quests etc would clock in at say 100 hours. What is there to do that would take another 400 hours

That seems like an awful lot of time to do other "tasks" that aren't main or side missions. What is the incentive to spend that much time in the game world ?

Not sure why everyone is whining. That figure is also for multiple endings. Most will only ever see one ending anyway 🤷‍♂️

After the quality of the original game and this looking like it's an improvement in every area I'm really looking forward to it. Average playtime is 100hr for main story and side quests. Which it was always gonna be bigger than the original which was around 50-60.

500hr is for literally everything. Seeing as I'm still playing the original game all these years later I'd say its good thing!

@PyroMessiah86 the campaign was 20 to 30 hours long just a few months back..

This seems to be a case of dev team can't win. Too little content folks complain or too much content folks complain. So as a dev team you just accept you are not going to make everyone happy. Then put in whatever content you need to fit the vision and scope you have for the game.

As a player there is no rule that says you have to do it over a consecutive period of time. I mean I have been playing Skyrim and Fallout 4 for years and I am pretty sure I haven't seen all those games have to offer yet either.

This just makes me excited to dive in and explore while accepting it's going to be a long term project.

How times change... A few years ago people would of been like 'amazing'

Doesn't bother me either way, you don't have to do all the extra crap...I certainly wont

So, dev gets bashed for letting people actually work for their achievement? I mean, it's in the name. If you see someone with 100%, you can speak of an actual achievement.

This sounds great. I don't want a game made for achievement hunters. Too much like the way Netflix makes shows for binge-watchers. At any other time in history 500 hours of content would have been seen as an achievement in and of itself. The achievement people can play something else.

Looking forward to this game, it has adventuring my type of game, exploring and discovery, which what I like and the parkour and fighting, with some crafting.
Day one for me, wish it was coming to gamepass for free, that would be the icing on the cake.

Infinite was a perfect example of appropriate time to 100%. Took me 24 hours on Legendary. That's the kind of time I want to commit to a game, otherwise it can get very repetitive ala Assassin's Creed.

Omg lmao I love it! Crushing people's dreams about not get their easy virtual stickers is priceless!!!!

I don't understand the complaining this sounds great its going to be even more rpg centered then the first game and you dont have to play for 500 hours. The first game I logged about 90 hours in with one and a half play throughs. The things that were tedious were self inflicted I am sure it is going to be fun and that should be all that matters.
For the people saying 20 hours is a good length that is way too short the only game recently that I thought was to long was dragon inquisition but you did the same thing on every map. I don't know just my two cents.

Glad there's plenty in here to keep the players busy, but play times in the hundreds (or even high tens) turns me off a game. I've found that I prefer a game that I can finish the main portion in less than 10 hours. Any more, and I likely won't finish it.

Game Pass has exacerbated this as it, basically, eliminates the need to "get your money's worth" from any one title. If there's a game that I can finish in a single play session then that's great.

I’ve pre-ordered this and I’m really looking forward to it. But no way will I l be spending 500 hours on it…Elden ring is out in the same month!

That is extreme ... and very unnecessary in my opinion. I miss the days when campaigns would be 8-12 hours and have a multiplayer element that would be leaning into the campaign some what. But wasnt there to make sure you had no life outside of your TV or Monitor. Smh.
