How much time does it take to play an episode?
Hello.
Bit of an odd question because i know this is probably different for each person but ...
I was just wondering, whats the average gameplay time / estimate on each episode of the BTTF Game? Because i'm really looking forward to it. It's the thing i'm waiting for this month. :cool:
Just wanna know how long we can enjoy the wonders of BTTF per episode
So we know whether these are short medium or long episodes.
Was hoping that one the Telltale Devs could give an answer to this (Well Kinda).

I estimate the playing time around 8 hours?
But I tend to take my time with games I like and explore every possible nook and cranny, hear all dialogues try all item combinations.
I am going to take this more extreme with BttF probably, obviously since I am a fan of the franchise.
I'll probably finish it twice too. I am probably going to have a blast exploring a universe I am so fond of.
Generally, the number is two to four hours per episode, and not more. You may hope for a replay value, though. I normally replay episodes at least once before the next one comes out.
On a second play through, I like to do everything *but* solve the puzzle in order to hear the wonderful dialogue, and to try things that are completely nuts just to see if they do anything funny. Doing this with a "Did you try?" list to hand is often good too.
(Admittely I've not found time to re-play many of the games in the last few years, but may do so sometime in future when my memory of how to solve the puzzles has faded a bit
its about 30min-1hr per play for most telltale episodes
thats what it took in testing about 1 hour.. and thats with bugs so...uhh
want to look at and do everything? longer! but they needed to add more filler in sam and max (each season had the same descriptions on items) oh look the same thing from episode 1... dull.. so I skipped most of the later season 1 views..
took about 1hr or less. (but ive been known to test for .. the darkside) ahem sierra..
beforrrrrrrrre the takeover! sheesh.
if you can beat a parser episodic game in 1hr hats off!
(oooh new idea!) lol
I can explain,
Sometimes when you play the FIRST time you miss viewing items or trying things on things to see what happens.
When I did this most times Id skip the OTHER already heard dialog. Making the episode shorter
even without skipping ..its not 4+ hours unless you meander around clicking nothing.(its more close to 1-2 hours some SHORTER even listening to dialog)
most MI series took 1hr or so.. minus one or two stumper puzzles which were answered in forum (see the fire on the ship) darn that clothesline
CSI takes longer as dialog seems to be its only point of strength but even then its droll and I skipped most of it FIRST play through.
But saying its not relevant.. seems a bit callous :P
I get your meaning but you didnt get mine XD
Peace be da' journey
Maybe there are people just in for the actual gameplay of the episodes?
Getting ready for work
Anyway, 2 hours sounds a bit short but i'm the kind of guy that explore every bit of the game, and no skipping dialogues. So i'm going to play the game slow then
Point and click adventure games are for the patient people, i know some friends of mine they are like "*Cutscene talk* Ohh cmon hurry up already CLICKCLICK" racing through the game, thats no fun :eek:
Even my first play through ... is short without skipping anything (unless of course I missed it not like SKIP cuts or dialog)
ONLY game IVE DONE THAT TOO is CSI.. which is DROLL
Trackah123 assuming im not patient in gaming. Assuming is bad :P well sometimes good.. but not in this case.
and im no newbie.. wow..
anyway at least you added the smile, but you still misunderstand.
Ok for me its about 1-2 hours depending on the game NO SKIPPING..
with skipping its 30min-1hr min if I know the puzzles as well.
And I LOVE to look at all context fillers. But you should and do know that telltale didnt add hardly anything to say.. sam and max season 1. Same buildings had same items with same descriptions. So episode 1 took me longer, than the rest. Get me ?
argghhh...
why do people misunderstand me. Its not a gloat people. Im just stating the facts as I view them. Which makes them real, same as all your facts.
I think maybe people think its slightly dubious that you'd complete TTG episodes in an hour on your first play though without skipping or using walkthroughs.
You are in the vast minority if you can complete them that quickly.
again Sierra ON-LINE .. not this sierra most know now..(you force me to name drop to make myself look less like I'm lying more qualified need my resume?)
also tested many many games for major companies (small role but yea) Some you might be surprised at.
Ask any of the playtesters how long it took them to beat strong bad episode 1 2 3 4 5
Or W&G vs say MI .. MI took longer by far than most.
its all depending on the game..
I said one of the monkey island episodes got me really stumped and I had to come here to find the answer without google and ruining the entire game with a guide.
its why i like the hide boxes here :P
but yep no joke.. its that fast on most episodes, unless context filler is added.
And this thread wasn't (are you in a vast minority)
A question was asked, I answered honestly.
This is now the 3rd thread of harassment in 2 days..
odd
logic states I would be at fault but ive read my posts, and I stick by them 99%
(always leave at least 1% in case of twins !) bad baby joke
Everything i said was ment in general, not to you at all :eek:
I ment it as my opinion and what my friends do mostly.
Let me explain my last post again in my point of view.
This was a reply to "Vainamoinen" post #3
Just how i play games
Again this was ment in general and how i think about it, not assuming anything nor an answer to someone specific
This is what most of my friends do. Also no answer to someone specific.
I'm sorry if i caused any misunderstandings.
Btw i wasn't aware that my keyboard is able to produce such characters: ‰
TellTale Games TTG™
I would not expect an 8 hour episode.
Well it has to be as at least as long as the longest movie of the franchise ^^ .
Lol, maybe once all the episodes are released and if you play them one after the other it might be 8 hours, but yeah, I don't expect one eposide to last 8 hours.
So for me a 'normal' playthrough is 8 hours. But I'll be aiming for a 'slow' playthrough.
If these dialogues consists of stellar writing I'll probably create 100 of saves to re-experience any part of the game, just like how I have watched a couple of scenes from BttF1 over 10 times the last couple of weeks. >.>
Mostly the Twin Pines Mall, Lone Pine Mall, skateboarding, Johnny B Goode, the bruise on your head I know how, exploring Hill Valley scenes.
No, these are not the official names for the scenes.
Yes but contrary to more common ones like trademark i wasn't aware that a promille symbol exists nor what the keyboard combination for it is.
Still looks strange and when i'm thinking about it, it's something i've never used a lot or i've forgotten about it.
