Yea you can finish Morrowind in 15 minutes or less, that doesn't mean that you only get 15 minutes of playtime out of it. A speedrun doesn't really count in determining how long a game is since those are usually done by people who have played the game many many times.



It's fine for the price as a retail game for the amount of high quality, puzzle platformer content it has.

If it was DLC then..........Nope.

Good point....except that I didn't speed run it.  I posted that the game cost $60 on the N64 and I was looking at credots about a half hour later.  Yes, there was more content.  I eventually unlocked all of the levelsetc but the game is short.  Fun?  Hell yeah.  Still short.

 

Then the other guy commented that I was wrong.  I playef it today on my 3DS and beat it in about 45 mins.  The same guy said he saw speed runs and it was longer.  I checked and saw speecruns with short times.  Now, youre up to speed.  Carry on.

I really doubt that you finished Starfox 64 in 30 minutes the first time you played it.

They needed to pass it off a separate game with the droughts and all.

I'm sorry I insulted Star Fox's honor.  I was just saying short games aren't necessarilly bad value.  I apologize to you, daredevil.shark, and Shigeru Miyamoto.  I'll never speak ill of SF64, again.



No it's not that at all I just don't believe you lol.



I'm undecided on the DLC proposal, but I do think it's overpriced. People seem to think that the fact that it's lower than average retail at all makes it all fine, but I like to weigh a game's price versus content. Also a popular argument is that some full games are about as long as this one. To that I'll just say that not all of us think that spending so much on such a game is a wise choice.

$20 would have been good. $30 wouldn't have been ideal, but not terrible either. $40 is ridiculous. 2/3 retail price for a game that's half the length of a short game, and more like a quarter the length of an average game. If it was the most mind-blowingly awesome game that had ever been released I might be more okay with that, but you're just tottering around a tiny space solving incredibly easy puzzles. It's cute and decently fun, but I think everyone singing the game's praises is exaggerating. If the Wii U was in a better place I don't think this would have gotten much attention at all.

Ohhhhhh I said it.
