Next Gen Games are way to short

That's whyMicrosoft now has achievments ,the PC has online and the PS3 has random shutdowns thatforces you to repeat the same part over and over t'ill the console decides to work well .robby_345

LOL. RROD.

what action games were longer last gen? god of war takes like 6 hours to beat.yentar480

Yeah, people throw out wild numbers all the time. Apparently, before the Halo 2 map pack all FPS shipped with 30+ multiplayer stages too.

Maybe if they are so easy you should start playing on the harder difficulties.

I can't beat most games on the extremely hard/very had difficulty settings (Resident Evil and Silent Hill being the exception) so I never complain about games being short.

Do that and then we will discuss...

See.. Dev's nowadays are trying to milk each one of their games for as much as possible now how will they do that? They will cut back on SP and work alot more towards MP which for some people might suck but personally, I can enjoy it. Gears might be 8Hrs but I've been playing it for about 8months, MP FTW.

And Assassins Creed is longer then ME IMO, but then again I beat both in a Week.

Ive bought AC, and Im enjoying it. Not always as much as in the beginning, but I calculate "fun" like this:

One visit to the cinema costs me 10 euro's. EDIT: For 1.5 hours.

One 8 hour game costs me 60 euro's.

So, thats still good right? Entertainment / per hour

That's funny, because your Gamertag says it took you closer to 3 weeks to finish Assassin's Creed.

Is it just me or the most Next Gen games are to short ? Oblivion dont count. If you look at GOW,Bioshok,Stranglehold,Lost Planet, Assasins Creed they are all look awssome but in 6 a 8 hours you can beat any of them on normal difficulty meanwhile the last gen games where way longer even action games wujachi

Assassins Creed is OVER 20 hours long.

Think before speaking.

If you feel that the games are too short then ... (ahem) ... PLAY ON A HARDER SETTING!!

Haha yeah? I beat it within the first 3 or 4 days I owned it.. I've been playing it on and off from time to time, does that mean I haven't beat it? No. Keep your ignorant comments to yourself.

Mass Effect is MASSIVE...

My first playthru took 46 hours. I did every sidequest / conversation and explored /surveyed every damn planet.

My second and third playthru's (mostly main quest only) took about 20 hours each.

I agree that alot of "next-gen" games are putting too much emphasis on graphics and ignoring length tho.

I don't think they are too short, not for me anyway, because I am pathetic at shooters and any general action/adventure game, I can only do sport.

But yes, they do seem to be getting shorter, maybe due to the fact the games are imrpoving and they are putting more effort into the game itself,despite the duration.

If you played Assassin's Creed in 6-8 hours, you missed out on the entire game, wtg!

Mass Effect is over 40.

Darkness is pretty long for a shooter.

I never said you didn't beat it, moron, I simply called shenanigans on you beating it within a week.

Start playing games on the harder settings then.daveman_Ci

I agree 100%

Andrew_Xavier

lol. That is all that needs to be said. That game can be completed in one sitting of like 7 hours on hard setting. You must took longer because you were too busy finding out where to go because the level design in that game is sht.

But I'm not ragging on the darkness though. that game is tight

Not really..last gen games were the same length, just cheap in terms of difficulty and forced you to start over.

Alright alright, reguardless that wasn't the point I was trying to make. I was simply stating that becasue my Gamertag shows that i've been playing it for 3 weeks doesn't mean it has taken me 3 weeks to beat it. I bought it on retail and beat it 4 days later, no thanks to work, then I recently played through it again. You can chose to beleive what you want, choice is yours.
