Story can take 2 hour start to finish. (Destiny)

Not sure how anyone would expect it to be different. They wanted the strikes to be part of the story so they made them into missions.

I’m not buying the DLC because the game is still unfun and a 45 minute story won’t change that, but this isn’t a valid complaint.

I played for at least 3 hours last night, pretty much straight through the story, and while my friends told me I got near the end, I didn't finish. 45 minutes might be possible if you're a full fireteam speedrunning as much as possible and ignoring the story (and there is one, and it makes sense), but for the average player, you're probably looking at 4 hours (at least) of gameplay just to finish the story, before the midgame and endgame content opens up.

Chappy and I ran the story last night on our alts. From the time we loaded in until we finished the last adventure it took around 2hrs. We skipped the cutscenes and ran through most of the infinite forest. Using a rep booster we were able to still level up to 25 while skipping a lot of things.
