About Mass Effect length.....

wow 20 hrs thats it lol. thats way too little for an rpg. even if it was 35 or 40 hrs, compared to oblivion or morrowing which lasts u about 200 plus hrs. thats why oblivion will always be in my personal colelction.pablito3

Yay! 200 hours of grey castles and forests with no character developement and the only sidequests being "kyll all theez d00dz in templ for 10 gold kthxbi"

[QUOTE="jigglebilly1983"]So i see alot of people crying and bashing about how Suppossedly mass effect is only 12 hours without side quests and 20 with. Thats fine by me, but everyone seems to forget one thing about how reviewers play games. They dont play games like we do, they play them like they do, wich would be as a writer with a deadline. they only have so much time to beat a game and draft their reviews before the review goes to print or goes live on their site. Normally, this requires them to play games at a faster pace than we do, so calm down.King_of_Sorrow

Why wasn't this brought up when Heavenly Sword, Lair, and Rachet was reviewed?

Because nethier of those are RPGs with a plethora of sidequests?

I still think 20 hours is too short for an RPG. whatever happen to the 40-70 hours RPGs? I stop playing RPGs a long time ago for the reason they were too long.

I'm not even going to bother with you, as all you will do is fall back on that one single 1 up review and 'take their word over anyone else's.'.

Show me a link of a review that say Mass Effect is 30+ hours. Support you claim, please.I want this game to be good.

Well, there's an embargo on all the big internet reviews until Monday, so all we really have to go on is the OXM review and the Gameinformer review . And Gameinformer said 18-30 hours in their review.

How's about we wait for more reviews to actually EXIST, hmmm?

Of course I will. I don't like reviews, but I will take their word on facts over a gamer like yourself. Reviews has this thing called credibility they have to keep, unlike you.

Haha!

I've spent 6 hours just getting into the section of the game where you can freely travel through the Milky Way. I've explored and done any side quests that have come my way, collected everything from the Codex I could.

While the main quest might be 12 hours, there is no way you'll have a 12 hour playthrough.

OGame Informer. But, hey, you'll just find SOME way to throw that away, I'm sure. I am curious as to what your excuse is going to be when more publications praise it's length...what's your GT, by the way?

Reports from people who're doing the sidequests and not rushing themselves are coming in at 30-40 hours most of the time it seems.

I do know people who've completed it already in about 14 hours, though.

Let him cry.I find it hard to believe that someone who 'want the game to well' is so dedicated to hating it. :lol:

Hey, look, MORE quotes saying ME is longer. This one from a videogametalk article.

"I completed the single player game on a combination of Normal and Hard difficulty at character level 42 in a little over 23 hours. I'd imagine folks could possibly blow through the single player story in 12 to 15 hours if they avoided all the side missions, but they would miss out on an enormous amount of entertaining material."

You shouldn't be. You could complete KOTOR or Oblivion in less time than that if you did a speed run like people are doing to get these figures.

mass effect is meant to be played more than once. 3 different backgrounds, 3 different mentalities, and 6 different classes. and hundreds of choices. the dev on the official forums said he can beat the main story in about 10 hours on a speed run. but if he wants to level his character, and do many sidequests, it takes him more than 40 hoursAwinagainov

Yes, throughout the game, you only make three choices. Do you people even listen to yourselves? :|

And there's HUNDREDS of those instances where said 'three' choices have to be made. And FYI, I've come across an instance where there were FIVE.:|

Tell me, do you have the game?

i have clocked over 12 houres on AC already and still have 5 kills left.

I very much doubt Mass effect will be shorter than AC in overall length and story epicness. coming from neverwinter makers.
