So, I was playing this one game and I realized how low gaming has become...

Most Rpgs THIS gen. And you only used three examples.

Your counter argument... is kinda moot, dude.. >_>;

Again, what RPG's are you talking about?

I guess you've said one now that is 11 hours...that's most?

Mostly action RPGs like Heavenly Sword, DMC4, Assassin's Creed, etc.

Most new rpgs on handhelds are also just 10 hours like Crisis Core, Tales of the World: RM, KH 358/2.

Did you just call Heavely Sword, DMC4, and Assassin's Creed RPGs

Wait, let me guess

Ninja Gaiden, Bayonetta, and God Hand are RPGs too

Excuse me I think my head is exploding

Even sports and fighting games nowadays have more RPG elements than these "Action RPGs"

Surprisingly nobody calls them SRPGs or FRPGs.

Except they ARE RPGs. You roleplay as the characters.

Furthermore, I like how hardly anyone brought up the handhelds I mentioned or the fact that, regardless of genre, the overall length of most games have become shorter for sprakly graphics that people put too much focus on.

That's the stupidest thing ever. Every game is an RPG by your definition. Flight Simulators are RPGs because you roleplay as a pilot, and those are damn ass long these days.

Goldeneye can easily be beaten in a few hours, same for Perfect Dark, Half life maybe 10. When I was 12 I beat Super Mario 64 in two sittings. Super Mario World is a few hours long, Link to the Past 15 to 20 (same as Darksiders).  I would like to see your statistics, if you have any. Or is this just some general "feeling" you have that games aren't as great as they used to be? I want to see some data for your assertions.
