SuperJediMedia Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Man, I am hearing bad things about the game, saying it's very short (under 10 hours), etc... even for a great story. I will probably buy it, play it for 2 weeks, and then sell it.. Hopefully over $40 value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mystic MVC Posted September 17, 2008 MVC Share Posted September 17, 2008 I heard it is a pretty decent game. Nothing spectacular but still worth a play. Links please? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grabbed it on my way home from work this morning and played for a good 2 hours... no complaints thus far :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remysaus Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 as a star wars fan, going through the game just for the story alone would be worth it hopefully. also loved the demo so it's a definitive buy for me, release is still a few days ahead here in europe. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halcyoncmdr Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 No complaints here either. The combination of all of the engines is absolutely perfect for a Force based game. The way euphoria interacts with DMM is just epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted September 17, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 17, 2008 Well I hear the best part about the game is the cut scenes, meaning the story. I would not be surprised if someone soon makes some videos and puts them up on youtube. Just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I said, let's wait and see, you went off on one of your usual flights of fantasy. So, time to reconsider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 10 hours of gameplay is never worth $60. I've had more hours out of 400 point XBL Arcade games for crying out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(maybe save for KOTOR) You will not be disappointed if you're a fan of the IP. The combat is great fun too, except for the targeting. The last couple of levels leave somethings to be desired, but overall I liked the game. I don't think it's worth $60 though. Other than getting the alternate ending (which is easily enough viewed online once someone posts it) I see no reason to play through it again. Maybe if you're an achievement ###### and want to get 1000/1000 you'd go through it again, but not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistah Mallory Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 10 hours of gameplay is never worth $60. I've had more hours out of 400 point XBL Arcade games for crying out loud. That's really a ridiculous argument. The length of a game shouldn't be an indicator of how good it is. Bioshock took around 8 hours to beat, are you saying it wasn't worth $60? Because pretty much every reputable gaming magazine/blog/website will disagree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kupo-Cheer Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I think that it's more worth a rental, although I don't rent games, myself. If it really is only 10 hours long, then I have to laugh that the "most expensive game (to make) ever" is also one of the shortest feature-length games. Ever.

Rookas Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 It may be short, but i think there's a lot of replay value there with all the different skills and bonus objectives. Not to mention that it's just so fun. I don't regret my $60 purchase at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix XII Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I haven't heard many good things about the game yet. Most of the people I've talked to who bought it said it was decent, nothing amazing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldgunner Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 For a while I thought HL2 was. But I think GTA4 may have topped it because of MS's $50m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bioshock took around 8 hours to beat, are you saying it wasn't worth $60? Because pretty much every reputable gaming magazine/blog/website will disagree with you. My argument was ridiculous, and yet you're saying that because 'reputable' sources disagree with my opinion, I'm somehow wrong? $60 for 8 hours of gameplay is not good enough. If the likes of GTA4, Oblivion, COD4, Halo 3 etc can give us 50+ hours, why can't all games do that? Better yet, why not come up with your own argument rather than simply saying 'so-and-so says this and they must be right'? :rolleyes: EDIT: as for BioShock, no, it's not worth $60 since you could easily rent it for one night and get exactly the same experience out of it as someone who paid full price.

spacer Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 To me, games don't have to offer straight up 50+ hours of gameplay to make their retail price worth it. If a single player game that only lasts for 6 to 8 hours is extremely fun (and rewarding) to play through it multiple times, then it's worth just as much as a game that has an engrossing single player that takes 25 hours to beat once, and/or a multiplayer mode.
