Azlanslayer Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) 36 - 50. The game requires 3 playthroughs (If your first is easy / normal) and collecting the bounties requires luck. Edited March 2, 2013 by Azlanslayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtimusPrime Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 21-25 hours. Eight or nine hours playing through on Hard, collecting all the collectibles. Four or five hours on Crushing (would've been three hours if it wasn't for the final boss). A lot of hours trying to earn all the bounties. I can't even put a figure on this, but I know that I had all other trophies within a week, whilst collecting all the bounties took me another week.

Seishuku Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 36-50. I did 3 playthroughs, plus the GAU farming and doing bounties takes a lot of time. At least its easy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoaringEagle23 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I also put 36 - 50 hours as I beat the game within 3 playthroughs (easy, hard, crushing) and had to farm the bounties and treasures between the 2nd and 3rd playthrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHST_Guy Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I went low. 16-20, I did 2 playthroughs, but only had to grind for very few bounties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcueid Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I didn't time myself or anything, but 16-20 hours sound right. I did one normal playthrough on Hard, and then another playthrough on Crushing where I cleaned up the rest of the collectibles. The bounties/weapon kills I had left only added an hour or two at most.

cbchaos67 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I went with 26-35. Based on the roadmap of 2 play throughs. 1 on hard then chapter select for crushing & skipping all cut scenes for the crushing play through. Then chapter select on very easy for bounty farming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wout Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I chose 36-50 hours. I did 3 playthroughs, one on medium, one on hard and one final run on crushing. After that I had to grind some bounties. However, it can be done much quicker (in only 2 playthroughs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyamaha Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) 36-50! Â Went through 2 playthroughs, hard and crushing! Most of the time goes to the bounties! Edited March 16, 2014 by Toyamaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBunHien Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Went through 2 playthroughs, hard and crushing! Most of the time goes to the shooting! OMG,I the only person who vote 100+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaoleDave Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I believe it took me around 27-32 hours. Wasn't too bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXaphor Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hard + all collectibles + few weapon kills/bounties = 15 hours Crushing + rest of the bounties = 10 hours as for the rest maybe 3-5 hours? So, overall it took about 28-30hours for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerbyStar Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I believe it took 30-35 hours. 2 playthroughs and some clean-up/grinding at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmilerNuts Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I think 26-35 hours is reasonable for this one, especially post-patch so the bounties are far easier to farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Winged Joker Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Around 25 hours for me, although I think I was a bit lucky in regards to the random elements of this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skaughtto Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 26-35Â Hard and Crushing difficulty weren't bad. The boss swipe list helped with Crushing, trophy guides reveal treasure locations and moving the Vita itself allows for precise aiming. Knowing how to quickly farm shotgun kills and where to get Steel Fist Expert(Ch2-3) makes it feel pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahsutify Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I voted 36-50 hours. You can go lower I guess but for normal playing I feel this is about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dipsy Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 26-35 In terms of difficulty this is the easiest of the series and the collectibles aren't too hidden; there was a patch that hightens the bounty drop rate to speed things up so you dont really need to worry about em.

eduardohrks Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I think with good guidance, particulary on the subject of collectibles one can finish this platinum faster, but 36-50 hours looks fair to me so I voted that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfodds Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 26-35 here. 2 playthroughs, hard and crushing then a few hours cleaning up. There's really no need to have to do anymore than this. I just played the game on hard, picking up whatever I could find. I then used crushing to finish off the collectibles. I would never have found them all without a guide though.

Shanehi185 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Took me around 30 hours. After two playthroughs the only bounty I still needed was Arcana and about 45 minutes of grinding finished that off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Alchemist Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Voted 26-35. Started playing post all the patches so the Bounties didn't take too long for me personally. Collectibles were a breeze using the guide and I started on hard so only required 2 playthroughs of which my crushing run only took me around 6 hours to finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Spider-Fan Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I voted 21-25hrs. First playthrough was collectible run on Hard using a guide, second was crushing and skipping all cut scenes as much as possible. By that point I only had Steel Fist Expert, x3 gun kills and x2 bounty lists to complete. I got those all done in under 2hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysorian Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Voted 21-25 hours. It took me 20 hours to get the platinum, but I played the game previously, so I knew what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
