25 hours "too short"

[beevie]

Idk about me but even 25 hours still takes a while to beat a game now, I never have time to play more than around 2 or 3 hours per day if I even get that much.

So what's your point?

Are you saying that the game is too long, or too short? I've literally never heard anyone complain that a game was too long...boring maybe, but never too long. The vast majority of issues people have with play time in triple A titles is they're too short, but I have no idea what you're trying to say. And with comments like "Idk about me", I'm not entirely sure you do either...

I'm saying I don't think its too short.

Relatively speaking, it's probably not too short. But once upon a time, a game in this pricepoint would have been 40-50 hours of gameplay "start to finish" (ie. doing only the required missions to complete the story line). Over time, developers have shaved this down to 10-20 hours of content becoming "acceptable" (hell, Portal 2 was heralded as one the best games of all time, and on release it was US$50, for a game that was 3 hours long, and with no possible way of extending the playtime beyond being completely stupid).

Although, I'm fairly certain that this game could be completed in well under 25 hours (again this is only including doing the missions that are required to complete the main quest line). In reality, if you include all the side quest, all the collection quests (the hands, cave paintings, etc.) there's probably well over 50 hours of gameplay.

So, I agree, it's probably not too short, unless people try to rush to the conclusion of the story, in which case, it's their fault for being so impatient.
