If you don't like the PS3 go somewhere else to disrespect it. We don't give a crap about your opinions.

I agree. space cowboy has been trying to convince people that the game sucks since the demo came out. he claims he hates the game yet posts at least one topic about it a week. it gets old.

i just dont understand why people deem it necessary to try and ruin someone elses enjoyment of a game just because they don't like i. especially when they are persistantly doing it.

This just popped into my mind, I'm sure it's been brought up before but; GS designates "levels" to us so why not make up a forum game that allows GS members to "battle" opinions according to level stats? The purpose would be to ultimately determine the "winners" of forum arguments. It could be played like a strategy RPG in that each poster could rally support for their side of the argument from other posters (within a time limit) and the other posters stats would play directly into the game. Winning the standoff would result in bonus level points and losing would result in demerits. The challenges would be triggered by an option in the (select an action below) drop-down and when triggered, the mods on-duty would fall in to referee the event. If this would be too much trouble for the existing mod staff to implement I'd be happy to work with GS (in my free time) to upstart this idea.

The reason you see people do that simply boils down to the fact that they can't or don't want to afford the "pricey" PS3. (Even though when you break down the PS3's value compared to the competition the PS3 wins out hardcore. Unfortunately, things like seatbelt laws and FDA regulations are now destroying the 'Survival of the Fittest' laws and IDIOTS ARE THRIVING.)

Besides that, isn't 6 hours, like, the shortest possible time? If you're an ace gamer, maybe it's 6 hours. If you are a spaz like me, you will enjoy the game for several more hours. Ask anyone who has raced me in MotorStorm, they'll tell you I am a spaz ... I often do not finish the races and my death-count is off the charts!

Those games are relatively short, but not 6 hours short. GOW 2 clocks in at 15-20 hours. MGS are at least 10.

I beat GOW 2 my second playthrough in 7 hours and in my first one 8, and my friend that is a GOW freak beat it even faster than that it only took him launch day to beat it. MGS games are all beatable in about 5 hours. In fact you get a special ranking for beating snake eater in under 5 hours.

yeah didn't 1up/egm say it was 10 hours? I'm still laughing at GOW 2 clocking in at 15-20 hours. that is jst horribly slow. like my baby sister could beat it in less time than that (no offense of course to XL83 :P)

North Vancouverite here! Yeah! The only thing is that 24hour is not the most credible source. But hey I still think that HS is going to be a very solid game and still on my buy list that is for sure!

From memory MGS on the PS was SHORT ---- SHORT but the EXPERIENCE or rather MY personal experience with the game was more so so positive that i didn't care if it was short. IMHO that is why i play games for - the experience, the atmosphere (bioshock as the more recent example for most). So yeah, length wise it doesnt matter TO ME :P my 2 cents.

Those games are relatively short, but not 6 hours short. GOW 2 clocks in at 15-20 hours. MGS are at least 10.

I beat GOW 2 my second playthrough in 7 hours and in my first one 8, and my friend that is a GOW freak beat it even faster than that it only took him launch day to beat it. MGS games are all beatable in about 5 hours. In fact you get a special ranking for beating snake eater in under 5 hours.

I wouldn't worry too much about the trolls on here. Even when MGS4 and UT3 are coming out they'll be picking out minor details that aren't perfect and telling people that they're not worth the money, even if they do get AAA scores.

If you like the look of the game, buy it or rent it, because it certainly looks like its worth a go at the very least.

Well said. I thought the demo (brief as it was) looked great and will definitely be picking up a copy.
