Is that you do not take your time with the game.

The Reason I bring this up is because all my friends have been telling me how short Call Of Duty W@W is and I still have not beat it yet. I havent died that much if that is what you are thinking, but I do take my time with games. I might play like an hour here and then stop and play some multiplayer and then switch games. I really do not see how this game is that short though. I am actually ready to see the end now lol.

I think that some gamers attention span is so A.D.D. now they think every game that is 8 hours is not a full priced game. I say that is enough for me to get it. I heard someone say the God Of War games were too short... I am like huh really? I guess my question is do you think some games are too short in general or is it gamers have ADD?

Oh yea here are some games I actually thought were short: Heavenly sword, Rocket Man, Time Crisis, and my own version of hide the snake

I like shorter 8-10 hour games. Now, I do love me some JRPG's and WRPGs, but they're just so time consuming, and I very rarely replay them due to that fact. But with a shorter quality experience, I can finish it in a timely fashion and replay it down the road without having to dedicate a lot of time.

I do not rush through games but it all honesty, it all depends on the difficulty being played on.

the only games i really want to be longer than 8 -14 hours are JRPG's .. everything else i prefer shorter... Uncharted was the perfect length.. i'd rather have a solid shorter game that i could play through multiple times than a long weak game..

For real... these COD5 levels are a lot longer when played on Veteran difficulty. I play a level then have to take a break for a week or so because I'm just drained, lol.

It depends on the game, im a huge RPG fan so 60+ hours of gameplay is welcome in my eyes. I recently bought Prince of Persia and beat it in 2 days, for a $60 game thats $30 a day which is a little dissapointing so yes i believe some games really are too short.

Veteran is insane. The enemies have telescopic vision and the grenades spawn around you. Either that or it rains grenades in Germany.

I was mad at NCAA Football with not being able to start a dynasty afetr Campus legend ... and also mad at GRAW2's ending ... I just got Uncharted for Xmas and World at War and am enjoying those 40 minutes to an hour at a time ... Then I'll replay them ... if you want a game that's cheap that you can play for hours upon hours - get Burnout Paradise ... a lot of things to do that take a lot of time

I would have to say yes and no...for instants the 2 games you mentioned are perfect examples...WAW and GOW. WAW I would say is short because the multiplayer is the big draw of the game. GOW's strength is the story so naturally it has to be long(I COULDN'T IMAGINE GOW BEING PLAYED ONLINE)lol...and whichtever friend of yours said that GOW was to short does have a very bad case of ADD!!! lol
