How do you know Rocketpig doesn't suck? Maybe I could beat it in 4 hours. Have YOU played it?
Edit--@Rocketpig, I know you probably don't suck.

Are you joking? I've completed it and got 129 out of 129 gylphs, that's why i know how long the game lasts.
Game is short. Deal with it. Live with it. Accept it. Move on.

7-13 hours isnt short, stop ruining this thread please.
Rocketpig is only saying why he thinks sales won't be great for Heavenly Sword. He thinks the length of the game affects that. If after 13 hours you've collected everything and done everything there can be done in the game, with no multiplayer, I can see Heavenly Sword hitting the used section quick. Used sales aren't good for the game, only for the game store and the consumer.
It may have replayability for some, but it seems the length has been the main concern with the game in many of the reviews. This doesn't take away from how great the game is. If anything, it is a complement, just as everyone was upset about Gears of War.
OT: I think it could do about 150k first week, but I think it needs to do more, or have really good legs.

No, 7 hours of normal gameplay and 13 hours to do everything is not short. |
You are not serious are you? 7 hours to finish normally. 13 hours to do everything in the entire game. That is the definition of short. Also, tell me where the replayability lies.

Please stop it! Most gamers would classify a single player game that was under 15 hours as short, 15 to 30 hours as average length, and 30+ house as long. Most reviewers and game related sites have commented on Heavenly sword as being a 5 to 8 hour game which makes it short. Deal with it.
Half Life 2 was considered a short game at (roughly) 15 hours while being praised because Valve produced a game with no filler. Many reviewers have commented on how Heavenly Sword was only 5 to 8 hours with repetitive gameplay and reused puzzles ...
You may be cool with this, and it may be the greatest game ever in your books but you must accept that NOT EVERYONE AGREES WITH YOU and stop spaming the boards with " ... but its not short ..."

Yeah here we go again. 13 hours is to unlock all the videos and artwork by getting 129 out of 129 glyphs but then on top of that you unlock hell mode which is another 8 hours so in grand total if you want to do everything in the entire game then that is over 20 hours. The replayability is from going back to unlock any glyphs you missed by performing 100+ hit combos or what ever it takes to fill up the glyph bar. This thread is like bashing your head against a brick wall, why do people find it so hard to except if you want it their is over 20 hours of gameplay to be had in heavenly sword.

Here's a tip, as soon as people stop replying saying it's short then i'll stop, simple.
