DeputyVinny Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) I was browsing through this website looking for a quick racing game to get my fix. I did not want a long platinum because I have several in the waiting. I saw this guide and thought, "Great 20-25 hours, I'll have it done in a few days." This time frame could not have been more misleading. I have NO IDEA where the road map and trophy guide creator got 20-25 hours from! I have noticed that a lot of "total number of hours to platinum" on this website are consistently underestimated (but not like this). The 100% ACCURATE amount of hours to platinum is between 100-125 hours (5X more than the road map says). Trust me on this.

Johnny Bananas Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 So, because YOU got the in that amount of time, it's the ACCURATE time frame? No. There are many factors when determining the amount of time to the game. Skill is probably the most important one. If you're not skilled in racing games, you'll most likely take a longer time to complete the game. For example, I've probably gotten the majority of the trophies in 10 hours of play time or less. That's because I've played previous DiRT games and am pretty skilled at racing games. Also, your definition of time it takes to a game might be different that what others think.

This is the problem right here....people get the majority of trophies and think....ok 20-25 hours since I got the majority....haha I challenge you to platinum this game and THEN give me some crap on my estimated times. You will change your tune once you are getting 300-500 points each 5 minute game online and have to get a total of 250,000!! (oh and the points add up fast right away, so don't think you are gonna get it so quick) P.S. I am skilled at racing games too.....pretty much all games for that matter.

DerbyStar Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I agree. The long online grind makes it more than a 20-25 hour platinum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinworldwide Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) You have NO IDEA, seriously? Well you seem to be forgetting that when i wrote this guide the online servers were still full and you got way more XP, probably 5 times as much too. So yeah, now that the servers are deserted i can imagine it taking a lot longer but still 100 to 125 hours sounds a little over exaggerated. If a few more people can give feedback on how long it should take now i can change it in the guide accordingly.

duck360 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I couldn't agree more. You have no idea how many guides I've seen says the game is this long when it's WAY longer. It pisses me off many times especially when it's '10 hours bad game' that end up 25 hours and not 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
