ok the box says 100+ hours of exciting gameplay. i beat the game in 27 hours at close to lv 30 i believe. what the hell? i dont see how it is possible to play for even close to that. im playing a new game and since i know where stuff is im not wandering around so ill beat it this time in even less. did anyone push close to 100 hours? i dont see how its possible!

I think, it is lie.
When you play this game first time and you really do everything and visit every corner of world under bariere, I think you can reach 40 - 50 hours.
But we must say if we are talking about play time with loading and trying things again or without it. There is no much thing I tryied many times but some...

They lied about multiple endings as well. Maybe they meant 100 hours by the game's clock? About 4 days in the game?

Did they say multiple endings?? I don't recall seeing that..if they did, isn't that just a blatant lie??

I mean..for the 100 hours, maybe for someone who has never touched a PC before..to learn the controls, the interface, how to interact with monsters/npcs.. maybe then..

but multiple endings?? c'mon..

Like most people, I assumed you hurried this game, as did I. I finished it the first time in about 40 hours. I was very impatient and the game was so good, I was dying to see what each day would bring. But I did not do all the quests. I teleported around alot.
But, I have since been playing it over and over again. So even if I didn't take 100 hours the first time, I have taken more than 200 altogther.
Hell, I finished Max Payne in about the same time.
It is very dificult for me to savor the moment. Am I greedy for wanting more and more?
I swear, the next game I get I will take my sweet time to finish. Without using cheats.
I am currently plying Castle Wolfenstien.

So you are very quick.
In standart non-linear RPG is time for shortest way to end maybe 10times shorter than if you visit every place and do every quest.
Gothic is not so non-linear but if you want to do everything and kill every creature...

When someone writes 100+ hours of gameplay, every normal player will think - so if I start this game, I will finish it after 100 - not I will start this game, after I will finish it, I will start it again with slightly different story and if I try everything possible, it will be 100 hours.
Gothic is great game, there is no reason to promote it with lies such as 100+ hours of gameplay, multiple endings etc.
