dont you all think game industries are making shorter games i mean sure multiplayer is awesome but single player is almost as important and that goes for all the consoles, i think game industries should start worring more about single player. i mean the halo 3 plot doesnt suck but its not really that good, they just stopped telling us about the arbiter, they could have done much more.

judging by cod4 being 4 hours long... yea they need to be longer... i remember back in the day when games were hella long, grandia for example.... DAMN that was a LOOONNGGG game, but also very interesting with a VERY expansive story... my guess is though, that its getting too time consuming creating these extreamly detailed graphics that they get too tiresome to make it longer

I dont get the fasination with the length of games. I dont care how long a game is as long as its great for the duration it lasts.

Crap on all that self-righteous "buh buh spending 60 dollars for a 6 hours game" that just a load of horse dung imo.

I've played a lot of FPSs and I can bodly say Halo 3's Single Player is solid story-telling and a lot of fun. Plus the general gaming world these days prefers multiplayer. If a more in-depth multiplayer comes at the expense of the songle player, so be it.

No. I get bored usually after 8 or so hours with a game. FPS's should be short and amazing, however, for other games e.g. GTA I can play for 50 or so hours and not get bored yet FPS's are too repetetive to be long. Other games such as GTA and Rachet and Clank should be long though.

Nonsense. Oblivion was 60-70 hours, not 200 (and that's completing every quest, first time through, without a guide, and still taking the time to wander around).

...and the only really enjoyable bits were the Thieves' Guild/Dark Brotherhood quests. Most of the other quests were dull.

Yea I wrote that part. And I was going with 50 for the whole thing, the quest, all the guilds, and the majority of the town quests.

I don't know where you get that from. I know TONS of people that game hardcore offline but don't touch online either due to lag or price of broadband or just because they prefer SP.

From IGN:

"March 24, 2006 - How much free time do you have? It's a legitimate question if you're considering Bethesda's epic The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, as it's likely to engulf whatever tidbits of unoccupied hours permeate your life. It might even start chipping away your daily responsibilities. With over 200 hours of gameplay, Oblivion's depth is nothing short of staggering."

Maybe they are adding up the loading time, lol.

I'm guessing that the review didn't bother to finish the game, and just assumed that there was more content in there.

Back on topic - I'm sick of all of these multiplayer-only games. There are far too many online shooters and MMOs coming out, when, realistically, people would only have the time and money to focus on a handful of them.

Yup. Agreed; My friends won't buy a game that's short for $60, despite it's greatness (but they will buy Halo 3 and never play it once they beat Legendary, :lol: ).
