speaking of short games, which seems to be becoming a huge problem especially in these super high budget ps3/360 games, i read in game informer in the review for mass effect they said the game has "an expansive quest (18-30 hours)." now i was led to believe this was and action-RPG. as in an RPG with action battles and elements to it. not an action shooter game with some rpg elements. cuz that'd be a good length for a game that is primarily an action game but adds in some other elements. but for an rpg that is piss poor. 18-30 hour rpg = these 6 hour fps games. ridiculously short. i was expecting mass effect to be around 50-70 hours, which is what an epic rpg should be. 40 hours is pretty much the minimum for an full length rpg, anything under that these days is crazy short. i'm talking about the first play through of course. but man if mass effect takes under 45-50 hours (let alone 18-30) i'm gonna be greatly disapointed. here i thought this fall after almost 2 years the 360 was actually gonna have some games worth getting besides gears, but they're seemingly all ridiculously short. straight up dumb!
