You're likely about half way. I did a weekly co-op with some friends, about 3 hours per week, and it took from release (back in September) until just a few weeks ago (so, 6 months?).
Most of us have kids as well, hence the 6 month time-line. It's great solo as well, though.
38? I'm well over 100 on my (solo) playthrough and co-op doesn't cut time excluding a little bit of fiddly navigation.
Co-op progresses at roughly time x players in my experience. Between people fucking up and requesting a reload and people taking bios/phone calls/requiring sleep.
I'de recommend playing it all the way through at least to the 3rd act as if at least one person has you'll have a rough idea how to progress.
Man, this is making me realize how awesome this game would be in a LAN setting.
My solo run took 100+ hours. Co-op runs tend to be slower. The game has three acts, as a rough estimate you can say each act is the same length. (This will vary wildly, act 2 can be very short and act 3 can be very long, act 1 can also be the longest as you're still learning the game.)
If you're not sure what act you're in, you're probably still in act 1.
If you can give details of what you're up to, I can tell you more definitely.
Wow, that's a lot. We are in act 2.
I guess we are far from being done yet.
Depending on your choices act 2 can be rather quick, act 3 is likely to be the longest.
I wouldn't encourage you to rush, but I would say 100+ hours total is reasonable.
Act 3 has a lot of "side quests" so you may be far above 100+ hours or just about 100+ hours depending on your choices.
My solo run took 256hrs, but it really depends on how much your group wants to do
How did you manage 256 hours on a single run? I've played through it three times and I'm at 300 hours.
He just wanted to do 2βΈ hours
Tactician and being very thorough. I was also careful not to leave it running while I wasn't playing. I'm also currently 150+ hrs into elden ring and haven't beaten it yet.
Suppose that makes sense. My "do everything there is to do" run was on the standard difficulty and it took like 150 hours. The two tactician ones I did were about 75 each, but I skipped a lot I had already done the first time around.
