OMG!! Quit Crying for games not being long enough!!

12 hours for a non rpg game is perfectly long enough. Lets face it, if a shooter or regular action game is more than 12 hours, I dont know about you but i start getting really bored. Im glad games like Lair and Uncharted arent more than 12 hours long, unless a game is a RPG, it needs to be short but sweet.  As amazing God of war 2 was, I think that game last too long and started to get boring toward the end. so fanboys quit bashing and complaining, 12 hours for actions and shooters is plenty long enough.  Look at all the games that where short but still was great

DMC

DMC3

Halo CE

Twisted Metal Black

Ratchet and clank series

MGS games

all those games are amazing and none of them had online multiplayer and they still rocked!!

so why did everyone complain about gears of war being too short?tree-branch

I would also like this question answered.  

no

for most the games you mention, they still either have offline co-op/multi, or exceptional difficulty

if a game is over in 12hrs or less, it's not worth 50$ w/o multiplayer... it's a rental

even though i loved sotc, i felt really ripped off beating that game in 8 hrs

lair gets no pass, prolly same for drakes too

b/c it was before every sony fanboy knew the ps3 would flop 

God of War II too long ? Blasphemy. But I do agree that if the game is amazing and it is around 10 hours then that is fine by me. I loved the original God of War and remember , we don't have to buy these games. We just NEED to experience them.

$60 a game? ok just give me my moneys worth

If i pay $60 for a game iwant my moneys worth and if i can beat a game in 1 day it's to short.

if the single player is 6 hours and longer and has great online that is worth 60 $.

or better yet spent 12 pages in a thread trying to explain why it's OK for Lair and Uncharted to be short, but a crock that Gears was...

i never did recall saying MGS or GOW were great....

I also factor in replay. So I would definitly miss DMC3 from there. Even more so DMC3SE. The replay value in that is beyond great.

But like the first GoW...Beat it under 7hours. What was next...Play the same game the same excat way over again to open up two stupid Movies? Not to mention very little difficult?

But DMC3SE for instance...Play as another character...Play with one of the other styles and contuine leveling dante. Unlike new modes and new costumes that actually do something other then adjust stats. Infinite Demon mode, Legendary Sparta...You can put about 40-50hours in that game before you finally played everything in it.

But also lets take an RPG...Most of the time...YOU ARE DOING NOTHING. And they give you ridiclously stupid quests so they can say...OVER 100HOURS!! Like FFX ultimate weapons. That main game...in play time..is probably less then 20hours. Most of the time you are either running around to next location...Waiting on load....Watching text move...Or watching cutscenes. 

Yeah I dunno why people keep complaining about that... 10-12 hours is perfectly normal and reasonable for a linear action game. I mean what exactly were you playing last gen that was so much longer? 10-12 hours last gen was average and this gen it takes far far more work just to get the same time. It's just the worst how people say only 10-12 hour games is somehow an arguement against Blu-ray....when the amount of detail and file sizes of those 10-12 hours went up by at least 6 times.

And why expect multiplayers too? There's nothing about GoW, Lair, Heavenly Sword, or Uncharted that would make anything more than a crappy tack on multiplayer... aside from maybe a leader board (like Lair) it just shouldn't be there. I'm kind of liking the single player only and multiplayer only games coming from Sony..... gives you games dedicated to be the best of both.
