15-20 for main path? wtf THAT IS SHORT!!!! That means they spent more time doing the 80 other hours making me think the main path isn't that good... That is about the same with ME2 and ME3. ME1 was even shorter.

I am what would politely be called a "Completionist Asshole", so 100+ hours sounds about right. I'll be trying to go everywhere and do everything...

I like to really listen to the dialogue and will often reload and repeat conversations immediately in different ways just to get a comparison... then I usually go back to my original choices before carrying on forward. So, some of it will depend on whether or not ME:A allows for manual saving like that on the consoles. If it does, then my 1st playthrough will easily go over the estimated 100 hours regardless of whether or not I decide to do all the sidequests. If it doesn't and if I'm not really feeling a good connection to all the side-quests, then my playthrough will be a lot quicker... probably around the 60-hour mark.

I tend to focus on the main story the first time through with a bit of side content. So maybe somewhere around 50 hours (that is even if their estimates are correct, wouldn't be surprised that it's complete exaggerating, and I only spend 30 hours.
On a later playyhrough with the eventual dlc, I'll do a more complete one but even then I highly doubt it will be 100+ hours, people be drinking the hype Kool aid of they think the game will be that long.

If ME3MP is any indicator, 2600 hours
As for the SP, I think that was like... 9?

My average for the Trilogy is 21 hours so probably 20-30hours. Exploring really isn't my thing, I want to shoot things.

I will tell you after I finish the game, heh. i don't plan those things out. Normally, the length of the game that I find most satisfying is between 30 and 40 hours. I usually play 1 to 2 hrs per day, longer on the weekends, soif the game stretches for more than a month, I get too frustrated with doing non story-related content and with running out of the companion banter and dialogues with the PC. I am not big on mob grinding in a company of mules.

Forgot to say for myself.
I expect I'll get sucked in little over 100 hours in ME:A, just like in DAI, for my first run.
In previous ME games, it took me close to 60 hours to finish ME1, while 70+ hours for both ME2 and ME3. With everything shown so far, ME:A should be able to get me to play up to 100+ hours. And I'll still fail 100% completion rate, I just know it.

DAI took me 140 hours in my first playthrough, and that was without the DLC. I expect to get at least 100 hours out of MEA.

I've complete the ME trilogy in less than 15 hours Seems par for the course for a Mass Effect game. Skipping non-critical stuff makes each game considerably shorter. I'm pretty certain people have completed speed runs of ME1 within 10 hours or so. The fastest time I've completed ME1 was 3 hours 26 minutes. That was on the ps3. I'm sure it can be faster on a computer

I have no idea how long it will take to complete the game especially for my first playthrough. I will say at least 50 hours.
If I like the game, I will do a quick playthrough to see how long it takes to finish the game
I've completed DAI in 10 hours on the ps3. I haven't tried to see how much faster I can complete the game on the ps4. Maybe one day I will.

Obviously i skipped all the dialogue and i spent less than 3 hours on the main story, the rest was driving around on the Mako. Other than Noveria the other story missions can be done in under 20 minutes each It's impossible to do everything without engaging in dialogue. I mean smash the spacebar like crazy and skip it

Or maybe im just better than you Or you're lying/not talking about a true 100% run. Some of the quickest 100% runs of ME1 clock in at like 20~ something hours. So you're telling me you completed 16 Main Quest lines and 42 Side Quest lines (including the 15 Matriarch writings, 17 Turian Emblems, 23 rare earth/10 gases/ 25 heavy metals and 22 light metals, 10 medallions, 3 ID tags and 10 Prothean discs) in 11 hours when several of the main quests alone take roughly an hour in just travel time. Yeah no... An hour in tracel time? Do you walk everywhere? There is thes little thing called the Mako, seriously if you spend more than 5 minutes traveling anywhere you're doing it wrong, just skip combat and get wherever you're going

I have no idea how long it will take for me to complete a game that hasn't been released yet. I don't either but then I'm usually in and around 200 hours at the end of my DAI playthroughs so if it is about 100 hours then it'll likely be 80-100 hours for me. As I'm usually a slower moer completionist player but then it largely depends on how many side quests I end up picking up and doing and various other choices I make. For the most part my first run will be focusing mostly on the main story and not much else unless I find it along the way likely as I'll be focusing moer on learning the controls and the game. After that initial playthrough I'll likely then be more prepared to explore and see the game in more detail. Thatt's the approach I used for DAI and I think I'll likely use the same approach for Andromeda.

When I'm done, there won't be a stone left unturned. So, 100+. Oh Andromeda, what mysteries do you have for us? Likewise! I'll search a planet three times if I have to just to make sure I found everything!!! Do you have a source because the last time I checked BioWare was doing everything in their power to not give a time estimate on the game? Anyways I suspect it will take at least 100 hours for me on my first PT. I can't find the tweet at the moment, but it was either from Mike Gamble or Ian Frazier. One of them mentioned that the Critical Path would take around 15-20 hours to complete while the full game would be around 120. It was a few weeks ago if I'm not mistaken. Perhaps somebody can track it down. I am what would politely be called a "Completionist Asshole", so 100+ hours sounds about right. I'll be trying to go everywhere and do everything... A chip off the old block! DAI took me 140 hours in my first playthrough, and that was without the DLC. I expect to get at least 100 hours out of MEA. Agreed. I like being thorough and making sure I've seen everything before progressing. Not saying it's bad but I don't understand how people can go 100+hours on a single playthrough! I would go insane! I want to finish the story asap! I like to fully immerse myself and know that I saw everything. Otherwise, it bugs the heck out of me if I skipped anything. Then again, I'm the kind of person who spent over 500+ hours playing modded Skyrim and 200+ hours in The Witcher 3. I just enjoy doing as much as I possibly can to gain the full experience of the game.

I'm betting 60 hours, but a lot will depend on RP.
My first DAI run I completely blew off a couple of areas. I'm expecting to skip a whole bunch of ME:A content my first time through as well.

I am hoping it takes at least 60 hours. I know if you shoot through the main quest it only takes 15 to 20 hours so here is hoping the optional content is flushed out really well.

Considering I tend to take my time with these kinds of games, I'm expecting I'll easily go over 100+ hours as I intend to find and complete everything on my first playthrough. This. Likely 100+ since I love to explore all the things.
