ElizabethLakePosted 2/19/2013 9:52:45 AM | Virtua Racing on the Genesis was 80$ new, I would say technically its under a 5 hour game. I could only beat the God of War games in that time frame after I leveled everything up, otherwise I don't know how you guys do it on the first playthrough. --- "you will find you spend a good deal of your life sitting at red lights" |

I put 20+ hours into Lollipop Chiansaw. That game is all about replay value. Yeppers, I gotta go back in for all the achievements. And the rest of the costumes. And the art and music. And to beat it on the highest level. --- Project Awakened. Look it up. |
luigi_master29Posted 2/19/2013 10:14:21 AM (edited) | The thing with MGRR, at least from what I've read, is that the completion time is your fastest gameplay time (without any cutscenes). Bayonetta is like this also, so you can easily get a time score of 3 hours (and you actually need to to unlock something).
The thing is with Bayonetta, there were Alfheim portals, new difficulties, a bonus boss, playing as Jeanne... I've spent many hours playing that game, well after I'd already completed the story.
Action games like this are not the kind you spent dozens of hours getting to the end like RPGs. Speed runs are encouraged, and getting the top score of each chapter/section as well and challenging your skills on intense difficulties. I really doubt MGRR has absolutely nothing else to do beyond the 6 hour campaign. If you don't expect to play a game beyond the initial campaign then you must have a small attention span, or these kind of games aren't for you.
That's just my 2 cents.
Edit: Oh and Platinum's other game, Vanquish, is about 5-6 hours long. --- :...white noise...: |

Uh yea it is. There is a trophy you can get for beat the game in under 5 hours.
i got the bloody trophy on my first playthrough. And lol for using that unreliable site. ok then, name one review, one single review that says resident evil is 5 hours long. |
dmack316Posted 2/19/2013 10:14:55 AM | How can you possibly count time on a game when you cut out cutscenes and extra stuff? That's like saying Dragon's Dogma is less than an hour lol. So then Skyrim should be counted as well if you just blow through the story quests lol. --- GT: Outcast Mack |

ok then, name one review, one single review that says resident evil is 5 hours long. Resident Evil 5 really is around 5-6 hours long. That doesn't mean it didn't have replayability, imo. I still love playing Mercenaries. --- PSN: Omegashrimp UMVC3: Capt Am/ Nova/ Trish P4A: Mitsuru BB: Tsubaki |

Ultimate_BrolyPosted 2/19/2013 10:44:02 AM | Prince of persia Jak and Daxter Last Rebellion
Those were pretty short. If you weren't playing them for a platinum Prince of persia and Last Rebellion were definitely about 5 hours. Jak and Daxter could be platinumed in 5 hours. The other two 10 hours to plat. |
