It'd probably take you 15 if you just went through the main quest.

However, if you do all the sidequests, I'd say atleast 100+.

And not doing the sidequests is stupid imo, some of them are pretty cool.

But there's multiple ways to play through. You can play as a good guy with good karma, a bad guy with bad karma, or a neutral guy with neutral karma.

All in all, I'm probably going to spend like 250 hours on this game (if not more) throughout the entire time I own it.

I beat it in 15 hours.

I'm now going through doing sidequests.

Oblivion lasted longer though tbh, not to mention you could keep going after the end.

Nightfire was the only game I have on both console and PC, but they're completely different games.

I love how the sidequests always take you to a different place, a place you've never been before. It makes doing the sidequests alot more fun, and lets you explore new area.

Basically you can get out of your home, pick a direction and walk for hours discovering new places, scavenging for stuff, picking up quests etc.

If you take it easy you will get over 100 hours of gameplay.

This sounds good. Time to check the balance on my debit card...

So it just froze for the 4th or 5th time >_>. I already tried the ffdshow fix, but seems to have done nothing. Any suggestions? I'm rather pissed.

Try turning anti-aliasing and anisotropic completely off. Thats what finally fixed it for me.

I've looked at 5 million different fixes so far, each person claiming that it fixes the whole problem. TBH I don't see how anyone can call this such a great game if you can't even play it.

I'll that in a bit, thanks.

Turn sound acceleration off in the control panel. AA/AF off. EAX/effects off. Vsync off. The combination of those fixed it for me

I have had 0 issues with any other game, even games with higher system demands. I have a pretty top end computer. Fixed my drivers a couple of days ago for L4D.

I'm far from the first person to have this problem either, and there's not even a real fix or an accepted fix... I can't believe this wasn't taken care of before release.

yeah, because consoles have absolutely no problems of their own

not to mention that all pc users have problems with all of their games

Overall, I think the percentage of 360 users who get RRoDs is quite a bit higher than the percentage people who have problems running pc games, and usually those have easy fixes.

The problems I've had with my 360 (see: none) < the problems I've had with installing/crash issues on my PC (see: a lot).

You two need to STFU or die or something.

Now let's get back on subject.

Anyone else find the Alien Crash site? The Ray Gun is pure secks, though I don't want to use it as ammo is rare and I don't want it to deteriorate to much.
