asdfen Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 at least 10 hours for 1st playthrough but if you like the game then countless hours 60+ 100+ land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_hammer Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Can someone answer my qusetion or is it to soon. How long dose the game last or can you keep doing side mission for as long as you want? You can do side missions as long as you want (although it becomes a bit repetitive in the end, since the enemy don't change like in the OG - so you'll always have Mutons (normal, elite and Berserkers) one Ethereal, Sectopod or Cyberdisc and Heavy Floaters...) A playthrough usually takes 15-25 hours with 30-40 missions each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icurnvss Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I am curious about this too. So, what you are saying red_hammer, is that I can just stall my progress on a particular story mission, say researching the alien crystal thing I captured, and just work on side quests, etc gaining money, satellites, other research, foundry projects, buildings, through UFO crash sites, and other little missions along the way, without penalty? Like, it's not going to suddenly get harder on me, force a progression of the story that I'm not ready for, or suddenly increase the panic in the countries to a point that I'm not going to be able to handle? Or the Council will not give me my monthly stuff because I didn't advance the story? I don't mind doing side quests if it can help me get a small advantage and a chance to catch up on my satellites and panic areas, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Direkin Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Quick question: so, are you stuck in turn based mode, or did they include real time mode like in XCom 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdfen Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 regarding story mission yes it is possible to stall as long as you want but enemies will get tougher regardless as time goes by turn based only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbolo1988 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 If you want to keep the game going on forever, just don't initiate the final mission and it will keep scanning for council missions, and UFO sightings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
