ME was closer to 30..

If you played it 3 times....

Yeah, I didn't beat Mass Effect, but I was about 3/4 of the way done the game after 8.5 hours (According to various FAQs and most of my friends saying how far I was in the game who had beat the game).  ME is only a 10-15 hour game.  As I completed a fair amount of side missions at that point.

This just went from a maybe buy to a maybe not rent.

Mass Effect is only 10 to 15 hours if you skip the vast majority of the side missions. If you do all the side missions Mass Effect is 25 to 30 hours.

I have trouble with this logic. RPGs are about always having awesome optional content in every playthrough and going at your own pace and character development, and keep things fresh every time you replay it... it's not about forcing yourself to complete everything like some people do with GTA games.

shio- you have no idea what you talking about.

ME is the great rpg of all time, and took me 28 hours.

I wouldn't expect it to be AAA now (90+% average review score) but then again I never did. I'll keep an eye on it though, looks to be worth a rent or trial at least.

 

AAA doesn't mean 90%+.  Starcraft just made that up because at this time, early cycle, 360 has more 90%+ games than PS3. Convenient when, by other metrics, like average score and such, PS3 is ahead. 

And of course, the improved-in-nearly-every-way PS3 version of Overlord has a lower metacritic score than the 360 version, which goes to show that metacritic can't be used to make a static determination of a game's quality, since the PS3 version of Overlord is just better than the 360 version.

The 360 version and PS3 version were release a year apart so that doesn't help

ME is a great game but unless you're horrible at shooters or are playing on the harder difficulty settings you need go on the sidequests and if you avoid them it's about a 10-15 game for the average player. Still since I don't recall any mention of sidequests Too Human could easily be a 10 hour game total, which isn't bad by MGS standards but is a little lacking for an RPG.

So it's basically going to be the 360's Haze?

 

we have already had our Haze, it was called vampire rain and ps3 owners are getting it soon.

 

This may be another (less hyped) shadowrun. So it will at least get into the 70's.

 

Haze was a average/medicore game from a great developer with a moderate amount of hype


Vampire Rain was an awful game from an average developer with no hype and previews that made fun of it


Not quite the same thing

It makes no sense to compare heavanly sword to too human. one game centers on being an action RPG much like Diablo, Hellgate london while the other is primarly and action/hack n slash much like god of war, DMC, NG. action game are for damn sure supposed to be much shorted then any type of RPG.

some are using the diablo comparison where you play through the game many times for experiance and item. I play through diablo 2 about 50 times. but there is one difference Diablo 2 was Game of the year status for PC, while I highly doubt too human will even be top10 on the 360 alone this year.

"Too Human has been a long time coming and while it may not live up to the epic expectations it is going to be a good game. And who can argue against having another good game in the 360 library?" - IGN

Well they said it was good.
