18 hours regular play through.
40 hours if you explore.
Nice

that's pitiful
So what's Heavenly Sword?
So what's GeoW? Seriously was mentioning Heavenly Sword even necessary?
Gears of War has online co-op and online multiplayer. Gears of War also has several achievements that really encourage playing through the game multiple times to beat it on every difficulty and to beat it via co-op.
He's a PS3 fanboy saying 18 hours for a single player only game is pitiful. I point out Heavenly Sword, a single player only game, logging in at 7.
Assassin's Creed is multiplat...so this isnt a PS3 vs 360 issue no need to start a war. And GeoW's multiplayer is broken last I heard anyway. True gamers dont need achievement points to replay a game.
I wasn't trying to defend the XBOX 360. I was defending Assassin's Creed; I could care less if it were PS3 exclusive or Wii exclusive. I merely used a game that a PS3 fanboy would probably defend to the ends of the earth to drive my point. Take it for what it's worth, but it's an effective tool for arguing and driving points.
Gears of War's multiplayer is not broken, but I personally don't like the balance. You can also glitch in the game, but it's not as prominent anymore. And it still doesn't count out Online Co-Op and normal Co-Op, which Heavenly Sword don't have -- so I still don't see your point.
True gamer? What the hell is a true gamer? Somebody that plays video games all day? Achievement points merely add a reward factor outside of general enjoyment. If you've studied Psychology (I'll assume you have), you should know that adding a reward tends to drive an individual towards a goal much more than a goal without a reward. It's also just fun to beat the game on every difficulty and to beat it with a friend.
By the way, I don't even like Gears of War anymore. It's just not to my taste, especially since I was never an Epic fan to begin with. It doesn't change the fact that it's still a good game, even if I don't like it.
Gears of War is a good game.....but it was still too short(I have avoided buying heavenly sword for the same reason) but a good game it doesnt stop being a good game even if I can beat it in less than a day. As for achievment points, I like to think as adult human beings we are smart enough to fall for clas sical or operant conditioning(Psychology isnt my major, but I have delved into the science in several ****s) when doing something we all claim to enjoy.True gamers replay good game because it is fun, not to compensate for something else. Basically Im saying that bringing up achievement points as adding replay values is really lame.
You mistook my comment then = People do replay it because it's fun, but I cannot tell you how many times I got messages from friends asking me to join their game so they could beat the game on Insane (just for the sake of it) or to get the Don achievement. It's like an extra bonus -- it's fun but the achievements give a tangable meaning to it. To put it bluntly: People replay it for enjoyment, achievements are a little bonus.
And I never said Heavenly Sword wasn't a good game, if that's what you were implying. I was merely pointing out that a game mistervengeance most likely defends to the ends of the Earth is less than half of the total play time as Assassin's Creed. =)
