    Default Project Ego..ONLY A 20HR GAME!?!?

    Here is the link

    I hope it's not so



    And finally; Dene Carter addressed the unfortunate news that Project Ego will have a playing time of approx. 20 hours

    i dont think thats such a bad idea, cause like if it was 50 hours, or 100, people would get so bored of doing the same thing over and over again. 20 hours is a good time to keep their interest and stuff. and if you finish the game quick, start a new one, from what they said about the game, im guessing no 2 games are the same, because everything you do in the beginning (become good or evil, do other stuff), probly affects the rest of the game, and there are probly alot of things to do.

    Last rpg I played was so long that I keep forgetting what I had to do, and would lose key elements of the game. So in a way I’m sure this will be the right choice. Why did someone have to remind me about project ego again, I just started to get some sleep.

    The 20 hours probably applies to going straight through the story line. There'll probably a crapload of side quests and buffing your character and so on. Take Diablo 2 for example. Startiing from scratch, I can beat baal in a matter of hours in normal. I still put hundreds of hours into that game however. Hopefully, it'll be the same kind of deal. Otherwise, there goes one of my most wanted games.

    Default Hmm....

    20 HRS is fine with me, because if it wasnt then one would loose interest in the dam game, like i did with Final Fantasy 1(no actually that just sucked!)

    Anyways the game will still be one of the best RPGs on either way you put it

    Untill next time, the GRAVEDIGGER has spoken

    If for some jacked up reason that the entire game consisted of 20 hours, I'll proabably skip it. The reason being because one of the best part of RPG's is spending hours upon hours buffing your character. Doing the same areas over and over on single player will get real boring real fast so we'll just have to wait and see.

    If this is going straight trough the game without doing any side quests, 20 hours is an alright ammount of time (though me being and RPG fanatic would have loved more).

    If this is with doing every side quest, then 20 hours is a crying shame. That is nothing. Beat the game in 2 days? I seriously hope that this isn't the case.

    20 hours isnt that short for this type of game. It will never be the same every 2 times you play. i think 20 hours is just right.

    A friend of mine is playing FFX, the game was clocked at 40 hours from developers, my friend as now got 150 hours and still hasn’t finished it after all that needs to be done.

    maybe they forgot a zero....and they really meant 200??!?!?...20 does seem a little shy to me also...even if that is playing straight through w/ side quest etc.... i guess there is one good aspect if that is the truth then..if it only 20 hours long....we shouldn't have any probs beating the game and making a decision on wether the replay value was high enuff to keep, within the 10 day return period stores such as EB give their cutomers. i'm really hoping thats a game thats not gonna get returned.

    Because I'm not so heavily into RPGs, I think that 20 hours is perfect! Keep in mind, however, that you can be whatever you want...as good as you want or as bad as you want. The replay value on Project Ego is going to be huge depending on how you want to position yourself in the world of the game.

    I've never looked forward to getting an RPG like this one...so, I, personally, think that Project Ego is going to be something very special!

    I have a feeling the guy should have just kept his mouth shut and let everyone figure out how long they want to spend on the game. 20 hours is stupid for an RPG, that is basically like Silent Hill...and that is not an RPG.

    What keeps bugging me is that this entire RPG is about TIME and so they take it away from us?? this basically means that if you start a game and the idea behind the tree growing can happen infront of your eyes during an entire days worth of gaming, how foolish is that? In 20 hours does that mean you will only live a few days in the game?

    Anyway this whole idea of 20 hours has grown to an urban legend heh If I beat the game, I'll start over...if I get tired of the game, then I will have that family they let me have and then slaughter them and strain them through a straw into a horses arse... Deny me of a long game and I'm going to do some of the weirdest screwed up stuff in a game in spite of it...so it should be fun none the less.... but I am severely disappointed in the idea of making 'the best RPG ever' and then going welllllll....lets make it so even people who don't like RPGs play it. In fact lets take away the stats, make it about 10 hours long, put the guys in a car and call it Wreckless.....

    I mean really you don't sell bananas to people who don't like bananas, and then come up with the idea of filling the banana peels with strawberry jam just so others who like strawberries and not bananas, will buy the bananas.

    That's a ****LOAD of bananas....

    I'm done... :P
    What do you mean, "I hurt your feelings"?
    I didn't know you had any feelings.

    Hell ya that is great news to me! The main reason I didn't want to get morrowind was because 100+ hours of gameplay I could never play that much and I probably loose interest since. GTA3, Hunter, unreal, bruteforce, and so on and so forth! Oh yeah did I mention hunter was comming out!

    holy crap! does anyone read through threads before they post a new thread, this has been brought up at least 3 times before. This is what i have posted in a previous thread, as you can see, the gameplay time can easily be stretched out, and there is a lot of replay value.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Actually the minimum time it will take is 20 hours, if you go straight from beginning to the end, with no optional side quests and don't get caught up in anything. ex. thrown in jail, join a clan of thieves.

    Like Maximus said, the object is to find out who killed someone in your family, in reality you could do this in 3 days, 3 weeks or 30 years. This only makes the game more open-ended for the user.

    As for gameplay, he promises players at least "20 hours of amazing incredible gameplay if you play straight through with no distractions or side quests. But your character could get thrown in jail for ten years; he could get married, have kids and take a break from adventuring or choose any of a number of other ways to play the game. We are balancing the game around great entertainment, not on how difficult we can make it."

    When a game is as awesome as Project Ego looks, I play it to death.

    But even at 5 hours a day, that is still only 4 days. That is nothing for your typical RPG.
