IllegalPaladin said: From what it looks like, I'm getting pretty close to the end and I'm guessing I'll have clocked in at 5-6 hours once I finish it. So far, I've put in about 3.5 hours or so worth. I can see complaints about the game's length, but while it's part of the reason I like to rent, any longer and it would start to get annoying. I don't know about anybody else, but I sure liked ICO and any longer than about 5-6 hours would feel like the game would be dragging on. |
Isn't the fact that you acknowledge the game would get boring if it was longer a red flag that something is wrong with the game? The staple comment of video games used to be "That was so much fun, I wish there was more." Now it's "Dang, I'm glad that game was short. I couldn't take any more of it."
That aside, it makes me sad that game developers can sell half-games these days and not only get away with it but have people praise them for it. At least Heavenly Sword lives up to the rent-only mantra it has built up.
