How are these cliches? They're statements of truth. How many different ways can you say that a game is "too short" or "too easy"? I think we're reaching for straws here, folks.

You may be right about them not being cliches but they're far from truth. They're opinions. I've seen far too many games get unfairly knocked for being too short when they're of perfect length for myself. 6-10 hour games are ideal for how much free time I have available. Reviewers need to grasp the reality that not all gamers have tons of free time to devote to 20+ hour games continually.

FACT: 6 hours is too short for a 50$ investment.


and no most of those things listed in the first post are not cliches. Most of them ive only seen once or twice, and in most cases they are apt descriptions not just some saying they stole from another review

Who pays full price for games? I surely don't. Most significant releases go on sale within a week or two and the rest eventually drop in price. 6 hours is just fine for game that'll cost me less than $40. Hell, I pay 15-20 bucks on a DVD movie that usually equals roughly 90 minutes to 2 hours of entertainment.
