[quote name='ihadFG']Length for length's sake is irrelevant. I can understand it coming into the equation if you are limited in the amount of games that you want to play or you are only able to get absorbed into long games, but I don't think length should even enter into the equation when reviewing/scoring a game, which is where a lot of gamers tend to disagree with me (not saying you are one of them though).
[/quote]


That I agree with. Quality is what matters in scoring a game. I don't write reviews of things ever personally. I just casually chat about things I'm playing or reading or watching. I don't give a rat's ass about other's opinions on games, movies etc. so I don't bother writing reviews etc. as that would be hypocritical.

Additionally, even if someone does prefer longer games, that still doesn't justify complaining when a game is too short, as long as the short length is appropriate for the game.

Agreed. As I said I just tend to prefer genres that by nature offer a lot of hours of gameplay--WRPGs and FPS games with online modes.

There's no reason for say a simple action game etc. to be very long as those get tedious fast IMO. I just don't tend to like those types of games so I'm more drawn to longer games due to genre preference.

"I'm sure this game is fantastic, but I can't justify spending full price on a 10 hour game. I'll wait for it to hit $20." from someone who would gladly pay full price for a 40 hour game that is not as high in quality and they wouldn't enjoy as much as the short game. I find this philosophy frustrating.

Well, most people have a limited amount of income and need to buy enough games to fill their gaming time. A 40 hour game fills more time than a 10 hour game. So I can understand that viewpoint.

I don't share that viewpoint personally, as I can pretty much afford to buy all the games that interest me these days, finding time and motivation to play them all is the challenge!

But I still prefer longer games for the stories and other things inherent in them as I said before. So I just play 5-7 games or so a year as I'll have stretches where one WRPG is all I play for 3 or 4 months and so on.
 
After my workout tonight I'm all over Arcana Heart 3, must contain excitement while exercising. Although, I haven't been able to run for a while now due to something really bad happening with my toe nail, where it was bleeding and got infected and hurt a ton. Seems to be getting better now, I'm debating trying to run again, and if it hurts or feels funny I'll stop.

Everything you said, I can understand and agree with except for:

If someone is limited by their income then they shouldn't be buying any single-player game for full-price. They should just wait until any game is cheap, not only short ones. The only game that I could justify buying at release in that situation would be a multi-player centric game.

Of course they should not buy at full price! :D

But my point (which wasn't clear given your post that I quoted) is that I can get that they prefer long games as buying a 40 hour game for $20 a year after launch will fill 4 times as much of their gaming time as a 10 hour game for $20. Long games are more value in terms of filling your gaming time when on a limited budget. I can get that.

But I agree with your point 100%. I have plenty of money for games, movies etc. and still wait for price drops for most things that aren't multiplayer as it's just as fun down the road when it's cheaper. People just have little financial sense these days. Even on a site called "Cheap Ass Gamer" there are lots of people who are regularly bitching about having no money (college students etc.) who are yet still playing and discussing new games at launch etc.
 
Wow AH3 is big, people are saying it is a 2.5GB download, not looking forward to downloading that with how slow PSN can be downloading stuff at times. Also, at some point I probably need to invest in a bigger hard-drive for my PS3 because my 80GB one only has maybe 25-30GB left. Hopefully if save transfers work it shouldn't be a hard process when I do it (so I hopefully don't lose even the locked saves), the only thing I really care about right now would be the games I'm playing and transferring my DA saves for DA2.

I was talking about people though that do buy games at full-price, but only if they are long, and then wait for short games to drop in price.

But yeah, completely agree with what you are saying.

And if I were poor and on a more limited budget, I definitely wouldn't be buying as many games at release. But even so, the games I would buy at a higher price would be the ones that I want to play the most, not the ones that would last the longest.

I didn't get a lot of games growing up, nor could afford a lot in college and parts of grad school, so I learned that the only way I could game year round was to:

1) Buy (or put on my birthday and x-mas list) games that were cheap.
2) Buy (or put on my birthday and x-mas list) longer games.

There was no way to have something to play constantly on a tight budget by buying very many short single player games with limited replay value as I'd just end up with a bunch of beaten games I had no interest in replaying. So I got a lot of RPGs and things like sports games, fighters etc. that had a lot of mulitplayer replay value.

So I guess that experience helped shape my current interests where I won't buy many short games with no replay value unless they're very cheap (like XBLA games etc.). I've always viewed a game I'll blow throw in a weekend as worth less monetarily to me than something that will keep me busy for a while due to having limited funds for a long time and having to really think about what to buy.

Oh yeah, I agree. If I could only buy a couple games a year, then yeah, I would buy long ones. But if I was going to play a combination of both long and short games anyway, then the ones I would buy first would be the ones I wanted to play the most, not necessarily the ones that are the longest.

Pretty much agree. I tend to have a few buy at launch type of games a year--usually only 2 or 3--things like a Mass Effect or Gears of War sequel that I'm buying day 1 regardless of length or other factors.

Everything else is on a wait for $20-30 sale/price drop or to get matched up on goozex regardless of length. The order of picking up those games is just determined by what gets cheap first and what I feel like playing if I'm looking for a game and both a long one and a short one on my list are on sale.

Played some Portal 2. It's pretty damn good so far. I had to kill myself once because I got stuck because I leaped before I looked. I couldn't get back to the starting point either, so Minus Points for you, Valve! And I'm pretty sure it caused my PS3 to crash when going back to the XMB.

I gave in and bought it today. The online is hit or miss. I found a couple of really good games and thought you guys was crazy for saying it had bad online. Then I found a couple of games that was just flat out garbage the way it played. I'll still enjoy it though. How much time have you put into story mode?

KFC is not fried chicken. It's reticulated horse shit dunked in a marinade of dick sweat and olive oil, and then thrown in a busted microwave alongside rat feces.
