The irony in your statement vs. your screen name aside, what exactly is crap? Are you the final arbiter of what is crap and what isn't? Different games appeal to different people. Heavenly Sword is a great example of what I'm talking about. Great visuals and sound. Among the best. 6 hours long for $60 bucks. Gears of War was about 10-12. While that's better, it's no much better. 60 bucks for a 10 hour game. Twilight princess, though I hated the game (i'm not into adventure games with a lot of exploring and puzzles) was easily 30-40 hours long for the seasoned gamer. The graphics are most certainly "good enough". I don't know where Mass Effect will end up, but rumor has it that it will be 20+ hours. Fine, I'll put my 60 bucks into that one if it is a good game... I'd like to see a return to gameplay first, graphics second... Sony and MS are so hell bent on beating each other graphically, gameplay is taking a back seat... |
isn't 10-15 hrs the norm of most action titles though? but that's just it, they're action games, you can play them over and over. whereas the last rpg i played, Oblivion, i got a good 160+ hrs, and FFXII was more than 230 hrs, so i got my money's worth the first time around. i do understand your point though... which is why i'm now playing HS as a rental. though i know i'm not the average gamer here as far as graphics goes. my HD rig ran me a few grand, so anything that shows it off is appreciated by me.
