Heavenly Sword gameplay time..WTF!

[Son Of LA]

i have been reading few review sites and bunch of blogs around the net.
and i noticed that many people mention Heavenly swords gameplay time.
i ran into comments that "you can complete the game in 5-6 hours"
Sony claims that you cant put this game on DVD,but for that i gotta say basic comment..WTF
If you have a game that cant fit on DVD,HOW THE FUCK ITS ONLY 5 HOURS LONG!
anyway back to gameplay time issue
Sure its great game,but do you really want to pay full price for Singleplayer only game and when game only lasts 5-6 hours.

And i can imagine how fast people played this game who play the games usually fast as they can,3-4 hours?

Most of the Hardcore gamers will play the game around 2-3 hours when they actually get some good game
But how about FANS?
Fans of the game[or if series is new,the people who bought all the hype]
will try to see what happens in the story/in the game as much as they can.

So Fan gets game and spents all the time he can to the game[on weekend time is basicly unlimited for gaming]
so lets say its weekend,Fan of Heavenly Sword gets the game
so ofcourse he will try to play as much he can the game
So fan starts to play the game,soon as he says"woah i played alot ill continue tomorrow" the end credits roll.
How will the dude feel?

The fan just played 5-6 Hour game and completed the story in one day.

of course there are the diffrent difficulties,but that dont affect to game price because nowdays pretty much every game has least 3 difficulties,and some have 4-6 difficulty settings

So what you think should be REAL price for this game?
so lets speak in dollars.. Would you pay 60 Dollars for 5 hour experience?
personally i would only pay 30dollars or mayby even less.

But dont take this as LETS BASH THE GAME,
bottom line is.. the game is really great but really short
what we learn?
Go rent it and enjoy returning it at same day
But why not play the game for free?
go to game store in morning,buy the game,complete it and return the game to shop before it closes,and complain that the game dont work..problem solved Good game completed for free
also i would like to share this funy comic for my fellow RGF`ers:
Penny arcade`s comic about Heavenly Sword

yea, on easy. On the hardest, not even close son. maybe around 8-9 hours or more. it sucks that Heavenly Sword had a 50GB blu ray disc and a 5 hour game. Heavenly Sword lost

On hell mode HS is harder then NG, and according to the great reviews, great first week sales and how nearly every ps3 owner likes it, it is anything but a 'lost'

So the lowest scores are the real scores according to you? because there more 8+ scores then there are 7- scores. But if you are one the few mindless idiots that bases what they buy off reviews then i feel bad for you.

But lets get back the bluray issue, first its on a 25gb disk, second developers are going use the space to the full of the first year of the consoles life? at the moment the extra space is used for full quality picture and sound.

They could just use a dvd for these first year games but the disadvantages are-

Worse sound and picture quality due to compression.

Loading times, a 2x bluray = a 16x dvd, and since data travels faster from a bluray then dvd it reduces loading times (theres none in lair or HS)

the DVD drive in the 360 is faster than the 2x blu ray drive.. and gee.. 25GB vs 8GB DVD.. and same length of game, its a shame.

and yea, reviews are generally a good thing to read when purchasing a game, after reading most and playing that demo, it was shit from what I seen.

Well unless ur a no-lifer and spend the morning to the night completing a game thats 7-10 hours game might be a prop for you. But to people that have things to do we normally only spend about an hour on two on our console you see, so 7-10 can be a long time, especially when your not rushing it.

I dont even understand where you got this "I play GOW for 10 hours" thing from.. lol. I work 5-6 days a week full time, when I have the time I download a game and play it usually at night as I work during the day. I don't have time to sit and play through a game for 2 hours at most.
