I want to buy infamous but...

[ Edited ]

I can't seem to justify to myself spending between £30 - £40 on a single player game. Maybe its just me being tight with money but I need to spend wisely to keep myself entertained as most tv is rubbish but I need to keep money for my driving lessons and for college etc.

 

I do have the money to buy a few games if I want but I want to spend that money on games that give me lots of gameplay time. I mean for me personally (a lot of people may disagree with this) I could justify buying GTA for these prices even if it only had the story mode because it kept me busy for ages and I played through it a few times without getting bored.

 

Im rambling on now but the main question that I want to ask is if anyone can tell me how much game time I would get out of infamous as I love the demo. Obviously it hasn't been released yet so I know it will only be rough estimates. Hope people can see where Im coming from, its not a moan its a concern more than anything.

Re: I want to buy infamous but...

People are saying your first play through will take you around 25 hours if you do all the side quests, the story and mess around inbetween.


Which is still longer than it taken me to complete GTA4 at around 20 hours. Going from the demo, and the fact i've played that nearly 20 times now - i have no problem paying £40 for the special edition :smileyvery-happy:

Re: I want to buy infamous but...

Its dissapointing it doesnt have online , but the story line is really long so ive heard. I'm waiting for someone to post that they have completed it already to see how long its taken them. I bet it can be completed in 10 hours or so.

Re: I want to buy infamous but...

I'd wait it out if I were you.  Like you said, it's a single player game, so you won't be missing out on any online fun. Plus the longer it's out the more the price will go down, & the more you can save.  If you really can't wait though just trade some old games or whatever into cex to scramble £15 & get it!

I cant justify to myself to spend  over £25 on ANY game...full stop.

 

I refuse to pay over £25,i either wait until they drop in price or buy second hand.
