Picture from Batman: Arkham City length revealed

Rocksteady’s Dax Ginn revealed to G4 that Batman: Arkham City‘s campaign will take at least eight hours to finish. “I can tell you that our QA guys, who are ninjas and obviously know everything in the game, can do just the core story missions, nothing else, in about eight hours, just straight-lining.” Despite this rather large dollar per hour ratio, the developers are confident that the game’s potential replayability will be worth the investment when it releases October 18.

What do you think? Does size matter?

Frankly, better a short exciting game with lots of set pieces. than one with repetitive sewer/maze/warehouse/office levels. I enjoyed short games like AA and Bioshock – they were worth my money and some of the few games I actually completed without putting off in between.
I just hope they have better ideas for boss battles than have bats doing a repetitive rinse and repeat series of “batarang + 2 punches = canned animation”

Eh, I heard the first one was put together really well. It’s on my summer “to-do” list. When I play through a game like CODMW2 or Singularity and I’m done in 6 hours, I feel used and sad inside.

Although, I do sympathize with Ravenus’ desire to complete a game. Unless the game is REALLY good (e.g. Red Dead Redemption), I won’t complete it unless it takes less than 8 hours to finish. I simply don’t have the time and there are too many games.

Yeah, if it is eight hours of quality, then boom.

I like to do as much as i can in games, unless the story is too good NOT to finish.
