ME was closer to 30..

If you played it 3 times....

Yeah, I didn't beat Mass Effect, but I was about 3/4 of the way done the game after 8.5 hours (According to various FAQs and most of my friends saying how far I was in the game who had beat the game). ME is only a 10-15 hour game. As I completed a fair amount of side missions at that point.

This just went from a maybe buy to a maybe not rent.

Mass Effect is only 10 to 15 hours if you skip the vast majority of the side missions. If you do all the side missions Mass Effect is 25 to 30 hours.

I have trouble with this logic. RPGs are about always having awesome optional content in every playthrough and going at your own pace and character development, and keep things fresh every time you replay it... it's not about forcing yourself to complete everything like some people do with GTA games.

 

shio- you have no idea what you talking about.

ME is the great rpg of all time, and took me 28 hours.

 

ME is a great game but unless you're horrible at shooters or are playing on the harder difficulty settings you need go on the sidequests and if you avoid them it's about a 10-15 game for the average player. Still since I don't recall any mention of sidequests Too Human could easily be a 10 hour game total, which isn't bad by MGS standards but is a little lacking for an RPG.

 

 

 well, it gets that long when you are engrossed in the game. I read almost everything in the din game encyclopedia. You don't have to read anything after all. The game was just that engaging.

So it's basically going to be the 360's Haze?

 

we have already had our Haze, it was called vampire rain and ps3 owners are getting it soon.

 

This may be another (less hyped) shadowrun. So it will at least get into the 70's.

 

Haze was a average/medicore game from a great developer with a moderate amount of hype


Vampire Rain was an awful game from an average developer with no hype and previews that made fun of it


Not quite the same thing

 

 

 what's worse though, a hyped game that ends up sucking, or a game everyone knows will suck ends up sucking?

10 hours man, for this game??? And I heard that this game was being made for almost a decade. That most certainly sucks for not only us gamers but the developers as well. I do hope this game is good though although I won't be getting it.



Generation 8 Predictions so far.....(as of 9/2013)

Console that will sell most: Nintendo Wii U

isn't it supose to be in 3 episodes anyway ???
10 hours for a game is on normal difficulty... which if I have to remind you correspond to the easy difficulty from 10 years ago due to casual gamers.... and even though saying 10 hours is not enough I agree... but that's the standard length now a days anyway... cost of production are so crazy that only big dev studio can afford doing long ass games.... once again it's why i'm convinced episodic content is the future of the industry...
we'll see I4m sure this is the kind of game that will have die hard fans and die hard haters... I don't know yet on which side I will be... but i'll try the game.... I've been looking for a game like that on console for a while... I hope i'll like it... what's the realease date again ???

I took my 14 hours and I made alot of sidequets. It's still way to short.

I dont mean this sarcastically at all, so please don't take it that way.

With Too Human seemingly not being all it was cut out to be, what exclusive games remain in the 360's lineup this year that will be hits?

I know Gears 2 and Fable 2. Past those two games, what other games are 360 fans looking forwards too(please look at the wording before you blow up on me.)

It just seems like last year both the PS3 and 360 were touting epic line-ups for this year, but all the exclusives bailed out until 2009.

^^What else do we need?

we have a sticky for that go check it out :)

I guess I'm just biased, but I'm not seeing this particular preview as being that terribly negative. It's probably not a review that would result in a 90+ but he did have quite a few positive things to say as well. I suspect the shortness of the game and the abrupt ending, according to this previewer, will be what keeps it from getting there. I guess we'll see soon, eh?
