Then why have you been shitting this thread up complaining about the length of GOW3 then ?
I wouldn't say I ever "shitted" the thread up. I posted politely and reasonably (and at least, for the most part, even now, since people began insulting me) since the moment I expressed concern about the length of the game considering 2 people and a review
have all reported their game lengths as half the amount of time that I spent in God of War 2. The people that "shitted" up this thread were the morons who replied to me, making sarcastic remarks, insults, telling me I must suck at God of War, making up assumptions like that I obviously wanted the team to ditch the polish on the game and just add meaningless filler level design, that God of War 3 would have to suck if it was a longer game, and that I'm playing the game wrong.
There was nothing wrong with me wanting to speculate, discuss, and even share my thoughts on the length of the game based on early reports. The problem was the people who decided to act like children and treat me like dirt because I expect to spend more than 8 hours on a game I pay $60 for, when if you look at other posts in this thread,
I'm not the only person that feels that way.
The real "shitting" began when people tried to argue my reasons over wanting more than 8 hours out of a $60 purchase. Which, those are my reasons, and people trying to "disprove" them when I simply DON'T have the money to spend on games all willy-nilly, is ridiculous.
if people are causally completing the game in 8/9 hours then it's a safe bet considering how you choose to play GOW2 that you will take around the same time if not more to complete the 3rd game so what's the problem?
It's been more than half a day that I've had to think about it since I first heard reports that the game was 9 hours long, and of course in that amount of time I've had the ability to reason with myself and consider that I might just take longer than most people. But I didn't really believe I was such an unique case, especially since reviewers themselves said that their experience with GoW2 was that it was double the length of the first game, which was almost the case for me, too.
Then again, since the beginning I've stressed that my concern is simply over early reports of a few people, so I mentioned that I'd obviously have to play the game myself to judge its replay value and length. But that from the sound of the reports,
all I initially said was that I was disappointed because the reported time was shorter than any of the time I spent on either of the previous two games.
