I was afraid as much, I will be waiting to pick this up once the price goes down. Although I think it is $20 for the PSN PS3 version which isn't too bad.

I must not lurk hard enough, because I didn't know about that fact or that it garnered any attention. That feels like a small amount of gameplay for a 3D Mario though. I could see how people would be disappointed. |
No your right, I confused the melt downs with Neo Gaf.
Only happened here for a few days, was there that ppl were freaking out for weeks over it.
But the 8 hours are if you rush to the final bout with Bowser. Not counting the 4 special worlds + collectables. I'm at 36 hours and I just got to the final special world.

If you get it on current gen, it's $20 digital, $30 physical. It's certainly short, but quite honestly I have no problem with it being that way due to the discount. Metal Gear Rising, Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite, and Pikmin 3 were all roughly 8 hour games that released this year for $60. If the side missions contribute two or so hours of gameplay, that'd make it 4 hours of gameplay for $20-$30, which isn't bad by any means. |
Hmm, it took me 30 hours to beat pikmin 3, getting every piece of fruit..... Guess I'm slow, but I felt the game was very large and long...(that didn't sound right).....

...really? 30 hours? On a single play through?
Each day is only what...13 minutes long, I think? Something close to that? I don't think there's even enough fruit in the entire game to support a 30 hour playthrough.
On multiple playthroughs, certainly you can get a combined 30 hours, sure, but the same argument could be made for this game too. You can probably put 15 or so hours into Ground Zeroes on multiple playthroughs, completing the various difficulties and going for achievements.

No, single play through, and had 40 bottles built up by the end too. I think the days were a bit longer than 13 mins tho. Not sure how long, but I'm sure a bit more than that.
edit: I think your right. I must be mistaking about 30 hours, I might be thinking of another game? Anyway, I loved pikmin 3, lol....


Campaigns under 6 hours are unacceptable to me.

don't you give ethomaz a chance to bring Gran Turismo (prologue) in to this! |
Careful, people getting banned for stuff like that lately
OT: 2 hours? That's only half of a modern retail game!
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

I'm not paying the asking price for this (AU$50). It'll drop in price pretty quick though, I'd imagine. Is it really confirmed that the full version is next gen only?
