Length of New Games

I bought Uncharted:Drake's Fortune last week because it was cheaper and I didn't want COD:WAW.

The only problem is that I finished it on normal mode in like 10 hours. In fact, COD4 was really short aswell but the multiplayer made up for it.

Don't get me wrong I think these games had great stories but I just feel they were a bit too short. What do you guys think?

Cheers.8)

I know he wasn't, that why I said "let's" as an indication that someone "should" to do that.

How about the length of several old games (mario, sonic, etc), they were much less than 10 hours

 Hell, I've seen mario games completed in much less than an hour .

I think the length of games are perfect for those games .. any longer and it would feel repetitive ..

That's what online is for ..

But hey that's just my opinion .. :P

Lets just all agree .. you're not alone .. ;)

I'm not spending $60 on a game that I can beat in 3 days it's a waste of money.jdc6305

Bioshock get you your moneys worth! That game takes 4ever specially if you want to find and discover everything!

The gaming industry has gone the way of Hollywood offering more flash than substance and we keep begging for it. More graphics we cry! Better online! Mo one cries: Better sub plots!

We're idiots.

It depends on the game. You would expect COD4 to be long, but it wasn't, its actually a online based game. Assassin's Creed was short , but it was suppoesed to be - can;t wait till AC2 come out. I was a little disappointed with Heavenly Sword, but nothing is better than a game that keeps you wanting more.

Great games that took ages if u wanted to find everything - Zelda : Ocarina of Time... Mario 64. Awsome fun both those games.

How long does R2 take to complete?

You know, there is absolutely nothing wrong with playing a game over again.

If the game was good you would want to play it all the time.

That is the problem with games today.  Its not that they are short, its just that they are bad.  Everything mentioned in this thread is an example (Call of Duty, Resistance, Uncharted, Heavely Sword).

I wouldn't want to play them again either.

It depends on what difficulty you play... I heard Gears 2 could be completed in 8 hours on Casual. I played it on Hardcore and managed about 12 hours... If you play a game on easier difficulties, your surely gonna finish it faster than harder modes...

So its on the greatest hits list? I haven't heard it has been, but if it is, I'll think about it.For the record though, I don't calculate how much an hour of gameplay would cost, I go for a what it has to offer including the story as a whole.

I think the TC is talking about just the story.

Game length depends on the genre but I agree that games today are shorter.

I hate it when I beat the game (just the story) in less than 10 days. I normally play 2 hours a day, as much as possible I want game to last at least 20 hours.

My favorite game length is Okami. :)I really like long games because I rarely replay games.
