Addressing The Argument That Japanese Developers Are Not As Good As Western

Fighting generalizations with more generalizations is meaningless. Sorry, but you're doing the same thing they are. I mean, most western games are 8 hours? I've put tons of hours into Fallout New Vegas, Torchlight 2, AudioSurf, and Borderlands 2 over the last six months. What about Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age?

These generalizations accomplish nothing. If you want to defend Japanese games, fine, but trying to do that by lumping all western games together serves no real purpose.

LOL.  Don't get me wrong, Audiosurf isn't a bad game.  I have it too (got it soon after it released).  However, it's not exactly a game you complete.  It's more like an arcade game.

Rats, you're right, because I said complete.  LOL, wait, no I didn't.  What does that have to do with anything?  

Well, the point is that the time you put into a game like Audiosurf varies considering the type of game it is.  
You may not have said complete, but you were responding to "Western games being around 8 hours."
Any Western arcade game would have beat that number.
