35 hours for "everything", so that means the story is probably only like 7-8 hours. Yeah this game is a rental at best just like FC3 was.

I don't think that just a fifth of the fame is about the campaign. Its certainly longer than that. Besides in an open-world game the world itself has a lot to explore, and adds to the value.

Anyways I don't understand this notion that a short game is not worth a purchase. Some of my favourite games are short (like the first five God Of War games) but that was probably why they were so much fun throughout.

Well if I'm going to be paying 60 bucks for a game I'd like to know that I'll be playing it for a long time to come. FC3 campaign wasn't that long, I beat it in like 7 hours or so. Overall Far Cry is a rental for me because it doesn't bring a lot of value/content for me to want to keep playing the game 6 months from now. 

Again I don't get this notion that a game has to be so long for it to be worth the full price. Many long games tend to have too much griding till the end, which eventually makes that boring to play. Short games can be really incredible, and can have a lasting impact. Long games usually don't, unless they are GTA or Assassin's Creed.

I think that is what is wrong with gamers, too many excellent games sell poorly due to not being long enough or not having multiplayer. Its your money though, so you'd know best what to buy for yourself. However, this is not good, people not buying games simply due to them not having enough content to play for the next 6 months. Again, that is perhaps why most games are not very good, developers have to lengthen them or add a multiplayer mode out of necessity for people to buy them and hence the quality suffers due to it.

Not really, this is all my opinion of course just like your above statement is an opinion. Nothing wrong with people wanting to get value out of the 60 bucks they spend on a game. You listed God of War as an example before, I'd never pay 60 bucks for a game like that, short story and that's really all you get out of that game, a story. I'll gladly wait for it to drop in price (20 bucks) before I ever consider buying it, which I'm glad I didn't buy any GoW games because I can get every GoW game  for 20 bucks now on a single disc (except Ascension). I'm not saying short games aren't fun I buy Halo and Gears games at full price but that's because they have MP I can go to and play for hundreds of hours making them easily worth the money I spend on them.

35 hours is good. I think that games longer than 40 hours are too long.

but "35 hours for everything" means much much less if you aren't interested in some stuff which is often boring.

Oh right. Yeah that's true. That's kinda disappointing then. I'll get it when it becomes cheaper.

Ironically, Ascension is the only God Of War game with a multiplayer mode to increase its longevity.

Anyways, what you just said is exactly what's wrong with gamers today. They only buy a game if its really long, or has multiplayer, or both. A game seems to be worthy of a purchase for the content it has, not for the quality of that content. With this kind of a mindset among gamers you'll soon only see RPG's, open-world games, multiplayer-oriented shooters and sim racing games on PS/Xbox systems. I think you might be fine with that, but I certainly wouldn't. Might not even bother with gaming then.

Do you go out to watch movies? The tickets for a movie usually cost around ten dollars, don't they? Well, they are only about 2 hours long. So 60 dollars should be fine for a 12 hour game or longer. Think about it.

No I rarely go out to watch a movie, @ bolded, again this is your opinion repeating it over and over doesn't make it fact.
