As I sit patiently until the 1st of September for my copy of Persona 3 FES I recall the reason I purchased it in the first place...
No, not because of the Endurance Run (Well that is probably part of it) but because I knew it would last me a long time and was cheap (20 bucks :3)
The reason why I came down a generation back to my PS2 is because when I heard "Batman: Arkham Asylum" was coming out I was excited to say the least. As I looked into it more though, I began to realize that a 12 hour ride was not worth the 60 dollars I might have to put down for it. I could get a lot more entertainment out of a cheaper game I'd never played before!
So, why are games getting so easy and so short and so expensive? Do game developers know that games are becoming shorter? Or is the difficulty level so low that it's a breeze to get through, so we never die, and we never have to start over. Do you want more health bars and less regenerating health? Are games' graphics are taking up so much space on the discs that there isn't enough room for more gameplay? Would you guys like to see less graphically intense games with longer times or more pretty games that are short? Are you happy with the pricing of games today? Do you think you're getting your money's worth?
Forum, why is this? There's too many questions here and I want to know what you guys think.
