Valhalla only released yesterday so there’s no HowLongToBeat time yet as completion times continue to trickle in but players appear to have taken between three and six hours to tackle the main meat of the game, but many report that there is well over 10 hours of content if you want to see all that is on offer. In comparison, Modern Warfare III’s main campaign comes in at around three to six hours too, but closer to nine hours for full completion. It’s a tight race.

game journalism is such a joke.

 

[R3TRO]

But it’s still Ragnarok so it’s like comparing shit to shit with sprinkles…

I don't think the problem here is journalism, lmao.

I guess you enjoy reading low effort, tabloid level, cringeposts.

 

[Luipadre]

And its a much better game too

 

[Represent.]

Nothing wrong with a 3 hour campaign

They just didnt make it good.

 

[Diddy X]

Modern GoW is boring AF tho

 

[KaiserBecks]

„Campaign“

Tell us where Kratos touched you.

 

[Kilau]

DLC for the DLC versus the DLC for the DLC.

 

[Hugare]

I can finish Mirrors Edge in less than 3 hours and that game is one of my GOATs

Judging a game's quality based on campaign length is so dumb. But "journalists" gotta eat!

Apparently this one doesn't beat you over the head with cutscenes. The combat encounters and system in GOW are pretty solid so more of them and less of Atreus is a great thing in my book.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

And more people will buy and play COD even though a typical MP match only last 10 minutes.

Are gaming journalism going that low?

I mean, there is a list of games that beat MW3 campaign. You don't need a crystal ball to know that, just being a regular gamer.

How's it stack up against GoW pvp?

The problem here is that you're confusing these clickbait-driven gaming media news sites and the people who work for them for journalists. They never have been and never will be.

Actual gaming journalism is the sole remit of gaming YouTubers these days like GVMERs and Mike McMuscles (I think he's called).

But, But CoD has bigger engage-

 

[TheGodfather07]

3, 6, 10 or however many hours makes no difference because cod campaigns are usually shite and not worth playing anyway. The fact that it's shorter is a good thing in this case.

Vs

Seems thats an incorrect statement.

 

[Certinty]

I ain’t played MW3 but given how boring Ragnarok is I would probably rather play that over this DLC.

 

[R3TRO]

Seems thats an incorrect statement.

I said it had sprinkles; What more do you want?

 

[Flabagast]

I mean, this is a roguelike DLC, these things are designed to be basically timesinks

The article is contradicting itself within itself.

You really don't know why they are being compared?

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Keep both of them away from me.

 

[Gamer79]

Blame the idiots who mindlessly buy it every year.

 

[Raonak]

Excited to play the GOW DLC

 

[FF:Enhanced_Reality]

Careful now. Don't want the Call of Duty developers getting really angry over a bit of satire.

 

[Fake]

I do know, but they are just words.

Sensationalism is what those people are looking for.

OP STOP! You’re hurting Jez’s feelings!

Look at how hard you guys have to bat for Call of Duty now.

 

[Fbh]

Not that I've cared for COD in years or that I don't think MW3 is an obvious DLC turned full priced cashgrab.
But I still think it's weird how everyone seems to pretend the campaign is a major selling point of COD for these jokes and comparisons to work

 

[R3TRO]

lol saying a game is shit is going to bat for it now.

I've seen it all now.

So answer me this, if it's shit why are you attempting to defend it at all?

 

[R3TRO]

That's not a defense...It's more like if you see a 5 and a 6 arguing at a beauty pageant and you say to yourself hmmm.

 

[GHG]

What you did was a classic case of defense via deflection.

"hur dur but GOW is shit too" (it's not)

If you didn't care you wouldn't have felt the need to say anything, especially not in a manner that attempts to drag the superior product down to the same level.

But if this is how you're going to deal with mockery and criticism of COD then so be it, it happens every year.

 

[phil_t98]

What’s the DLC like is it a full single player add on ? Somebody I spoke to today said it’s more like a horde mode?

Is more like a roguelike.

I could've sworn this thread was about COD and GOW which both have shitty last entries. I must've been mistaken and entered the wrong thread.

But now I see what really hurt your feelings...Ice up son

But you keep telling yourself that.

But you keep telling yourself that.

You're arguing with a user that hides his profile.

That's the biggest giveaway.
