Borrowed from a friend a xbox360 with two org games (its not moded), giving it back this week ... and when playing those console games it struck me , are all xbox 360 games that short ?

i mean finished gears of war in 6h (2 days) , crack down in 3 days (6-7 h played like 2-3 h a day)

now i don`t even what to buy a xbox360 anymore , but still some where inside my consciousness screams wait for "Too human" and "Mass Effect" and then buy it

so i ask you what are your experiences with this console

o and i add i hate : racing games , stupid kids RPGs manga like and Mortal combat games

ANY GAME IN HISTORY is short if you just blow through the standard straight up "story" mode.

The rest of the content is in the extras, hiddens, and difficult to gets.

Gears of War, take it online and try to stick people with grenades, try to rack up chainsaw kills, etc.

Single player, try to collect the tags.

Crackdown, try to find the orbs, try to get through the stunt rings, max out your stats, repo all the cars, etc, etc, etc.

Any game is short if you do the bare minimum.

ahm no Fallout 2 needed 2 months just to only finish the main quest and other 2 months just to finish the side quests

hmmm just like i have though they know that they games are short thats why they force you to replay it more precise to unlock some crap , like that tommy gun for Godfather

this remembers me the Book from Will Wright how not to make games "A Theory of Fun for Game Design"

@Leishar
he only has 2 games Razz that where included with the console , mostly he uses the 360 as a dvd player

@ELIZ
I allways play on normal

@LeoNatan
so you are saying that :
Races and RPG (2 weeks/months),
platformers , fps(normaly i finish them in 2 - 4 days)
Fighters , strategy games (infinity)

Look at the genre of games you were playing, no matter what platform they're played on these kind of games only have a limited single player, 10 hours is considered a long time.

If you want to whine, whine about the state of games today. It's not limited to the 360. Rolling Eyes

Well that's more of what I was trying to say,thanks for saying it better. Very Happy

I meant it's not the 360 that is lacking, to pick on the 360 that way is just wrong.

yeah i know but its just sick that they still use the same sucky standard from the old consoles that forced you to finish a game in one sitting (well now you have save points but still its the same ), or the console players became so moronic that if a game is longer then 10h they say "nice game but it gets boring after 6h " - why not just play for a few hours and then play it again tomorrow or later Rolling Eyes .

i hate the games of today that are manipulated for the rating system , have became a movie like entertainment with the same duration as movies , with brain dead stories only to show new graphics and not playability/ the fun factor - oh and when they lack of the story WHY not just remake a old game with a story and add new graphics ... its just sick

or our standards became so high we no longer know what we what , spoiled by the movie vision of the future ....

Please.. You must be easy to fool.


Squirrely: Now come on y'all. We can't waste time arguing. There could still be survivors out there. We need to hunt them down, and kill them.
Beary: How about we kill them, and then rape their bodies so we can use their blood as lubricant.

At the end of the day all a single player game is about is achieving objectives set by the developers. Achievement points are just an extension of that.

But by Sad-persona's "everything should be free" comment it seems he doesn't even know what they are.
