He claims it was killzone 2 becaus of "warehouse grinding"?? He claims that they added a bunch of tedious sections to lenghten the game but what makes me laugh was if the game was any shorter then everyone and their mother would be b!thcing about how short it is and not worth 60 dollars blah blah blah.. Tittie babies man never satisfied...

It took me nearly twelve hours, but I have the thumbs of a 90 year old washer woman, it's probably a quicker game if you actually have decent reactions!

That said, one of my gaming resolutions this year was to not bitch about game length. Portal and Split/Second have pretty much defined short, sharp, fun and doesn't outstay its welcome for me recently, and thats the ideal for now. Be as long as you like if you can maintain my interests, but if you lose my attention or pad things out to reach some magic number of gameplay hours, then you've lost me.

I honestly don't know how long killzone 2 took me to complete but I could care less.. Thats the mark of a great game, whenever you can play through a game and you enjoy it soo much that you don't even notice how long it took.. On top of that I dumped 200+ hours into the multiplayers so I got my money and then some out of it.. People are always looking for that magic combination of length, content, graphics, yadda yadda yadda to justify a purchase and for me the only thing I look for is enjoyment.. If I enjoy a game and it's not stupid short then I'm happy.. But on the same foot if a dev decides to add sections to lengthen the game then I'm fine with that as well.. I like those sections as it allows me a little time to catch my breath if you will... It's only on multiple play throughs that those sections become irksome... So I guess it's in the eye of the beholder.. My opinion is that length should never be an issue as long as its not to the detriment of the quality of the game...

The game that just missed the cut on this was Resident Evil 5, which was a huge disappointment as a Resi game, but a good enough co-op action game to get a pass. Just.

I returned both my Killzone 3 and Black Ops to the shop got almost all my money back in trade at gamestation.

I got my KZ3 for £40 traded for £30
I got my Black Ops £25 traded for £23

So im happy. I'll be getting Crysis 2 tomorrow looks alot more fun than both games mentioned.

Killzone 3 campaign really a let down for me and multiplayer was ok but got boring fast. Back to playing Bad company 2 on my PC. So ill wait for BF3.

BiggCMan5548d ago

Crysis 2 is pretty much the same average as both of those haha. You will be trading that in as well if you traded in the others.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle33d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree39d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai39d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde40d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy40d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12540d ago (Edited 40d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
