12 hour RPG's should never get over 7.0 on gamespot if so i will be appalled

3-4 generations ago on nintendo final fantasy has 40 hour epics in 2d an had tons of side quests

yet a next generation game for 360 cannot make story longer then 12-15 hours that is friggin rediculous

if i play the game 3 hours a day i will beat it in a 3 days that is just pathetic for an rpg main story i dont care how much sidequests ther are in it or replay bein evil

i want a long meaty rpg with mechanics that will make the game last an want to keep playin for atleast a month straight

i got huge long epic rpg's on the nintendo super nintendo an playstation

i got small 10 hour fable on xbox and 12 hour massive flop effect on 360

any true rpg gamer should be shocked an appalled at the game length that is inexcusable its not even an action rpg like fable so its even more rediculous that its short cuz the combat system is a joke unlike fables

mass effect isn't an fps it should not be 12 hours from beigning to end in the main story line an thats just a fact if it is i feel it will get 8-8.5 but i wish it would get a 7 to tell bioware to learn to make longer rpg's cuz it what fans want

here we are we have all the power of a 360 huge dvd disc space, hey you can even use multiple discs like ff7 or baldur's gate yet u dont push any limits bioware u did nothin extra for ur game fans of bioware should not respect this title of theres cuz it is not liek there past ones

I'm tired of saying the same thing OVER and OVER - I am 9 hours into Mass Effect, I've barely touched the main story, this game looks set to be AT LEAST 30 hours long, if not more, because judging by what I've seen so far, there are an absolutely HUGE amount of side-quests to undertake, each entertaining, I've done about 4 so far and they've been brilliant.

Mass Effect has more content than any of the FF games have, the only reason FF games are so long are the ridiculous mini-games and constant level grinding.

All the talk is bs. People say Oblivion can be beat in 10 hours, and I bet it can. You know how much time I've spent on Oblivion? 74 hours, and haven't even beat it.DivergeUnify

It can beat beaten in 5 minutes too! xD! i dont know if it legit or not,but i was watching a vid of a guy doing that but i dont know if there's a real end game to it... some people say the game is 200 hours long.

No, we should instead give a 6.0 to any game that uses turn based random battle system as a means to bloat the true length of the game.DivergeUnify

... Turn based rpgs are actually pretty fun,if you think about it. I mean its pure strategy at best. Its planning plotting and succeding. It doesn't take skill but it takes thought. Thinking it through and out. im not saying all TRPGs are good,there's alot of bad ones like suikoden series. FF7 was awesome and FFX was too. FF series limit break styles and everything is jus funky and cool.

I love how people think repetitious random encounters with the same monsters for hours translates to an epic RPG.

I've said this before without this ridiculous game mechanic which many JRPG developers still get away with, Their games would be much shorter. Oh that, and fighting the same boss monsters multiple times in the game. How about the light/dark world color swap in which you still fight the same enemies but they are much stronger:|

Epic my ass. That's just downright lame. Bioware's RPGs have always been topnotch affairs even when they don't succeed (which is rare. Jade Empire, I'm looking at you)

Trying to bash a game like Mass Effect when most people are already saying it's got the best sci-fi story in gaming is laughable at best. Lying about it's playtime is just pathetic.

But I can't say I'm surprised, unfortunately.

God I hate Final Fantasy, for some reason people think that every RPG from Japan is made like it when that statement couldn't be more far off.

if these ppl have mass efffect that are posting here. why arent you not playing it . now that really makes no sense to me. if i had mass effect i would be playing it.

Okay kid, so now you need to learn basic grammar and arithmetic. :lol:

Chrono Trigger is considered to be a classic but you can beat it in like 8 hours if you found a random battle place that yields alot of XP (which every RPG has somewhere) and you did that for like 4 hours straight, never did any side quests, never explored and went for the quickest/crappiest ending that the game had.

You can do that for most RPGs... but why? Its like placing more value on beating the game than actually playing and enjoying the game.

if i play the game 3 hours a day i will beat it in a 3 days

Neither you math nor your english is very good, its hard for me to take this thread seriously.

Most people in the gaming community are too busy concentrating on trying to be "real" gamers then actually playing video games. (not refering to anyone in this board)

people have beaten Morrowind in under 1 hour

Don't listen to the TC he is a troll. I just got Mass Effect yesterday and beat it today. Its about 20hours long. But the final boss is really cool. spoilers

your main character dies

Your main character dies in the end.

oh and by the way, even if mass effect could be beaten in 12 hours that doesnt mean anything.

most games can be drastically shortened if you tried hard enough.

Metroid Prime has been beaten in about 56 minutes, that doesnt mean anything.

Work, perhaps. You know, getting on with life.

So, by your logic if Final Fantasy 13 is 14 hours it should flop, but I bet you would come back with,"No not Final Fantasy". fixer293

well if you take out all the CGI i wouldnt be surprised if both final fantasy and MGS would be under 15 hours

No,no,no

The TC states if it is over 12 hours long,it should fail, no ifs ands, or buts. Thats why his thread fails.

The people who are playing it now got them from places that broke the street date, which is 11/20.

That's why. trust me, I'd rather be playing it than discussing it's quality with people who haven't but want to bash it anyway.
