Yeah, well i just recently beat this game and I was really glad I did, worth the $60 purchase, but I don`t know if it`s just me, but, was the game really short for you guys? I mean, i haven`t went for the platinum, and i wasn`t really distracted with all the other things to do, i spent a little time hunting and crap, but thats about it, i didn`t really bother to help strangers or anything, so it could just be me but, I feel that the main story campaign was pretty short, I didn`t spend too much time on the multiplayer, probably like 50 minutes all together, but other than that, the game just kinda flew by, is there really anything I can do besides trying the poker and all that other stuff, because I honestly wasn`t amused trying those

How short is short. How long did it take you to beat it?

How long did you play for? Cause It took me maybe 20 hours to finish it. Which I feel with the 12 hour games no a days is great. And I now have over 50 hours including online and side stuff.

Yeah, it took me around 40 hours to beat. Granted, I did some a lot of side quests, but 6-7 hours? That's weird.

" @LiquidPrince: 6-7 hours "

" @The_Laughing_Man:  i did skip most cut scenes, and I did use the improved campsite to travel places, so that`s probably one reason "

" @The_Laughing_Man:   so i should probably go back and try finishing the  side quest`s huh? "

So let's pretend for a moment that I believe you... You skipped the cutscenes and fast travelled everywhere? Why the fuck did you bother to play this game?

" @The_Laughing_Man:   so i should probably go back and try finishing the  side quest`s huh?"

wtf man? The story was pretty good. Also, a lot of side quest stuff is really interesting. RDR easily can suck you in for 30 hours.

Its you. I must have palyed just the poker game 6-7 hours. Learn to enjoy a game not run as fast as you can to the end.

I thought it was way too long. This "game" would have been better as a movie because it had a good story and world, but the gameplay sucked (including the online.) Metal Gear Solid games have AMAZING storylines, and yet they manage to make the gameplay not suck.

Then you just speed ran it. You enjoyed none of the game then.   So no its not short. Its just the way you played  "

Did you know that there's other stuff to do besides just racing through story missions?

i`ve just now been replaying the game, didn`t realize there were like, 7 extra hours of things to do

I BEAT it the OTHER DAY, and I came in at ABOUT 25 hours with 100%. I wouldn't CALL THE game short by ANY MEANS. I thought it WAS JUST right!

The game isn't short at all.
 
You're doing it wrong.

" I BEAT it the OTHER DAY, and I CAME "

The game story is probably under 20 hours, but most people will spend around 20 just playing the game, riding around, challenges, whatever.
 
Also, 20 hours give or take is still way more then most games out there, so it was 60 Euro well spend in my eyes, I got a sense of accomplishment finishing it and also finishing the other stuff (still not 100%, but almost there!)

Well considering I put close to 60 hours into the game before I beat it (and before I went back to finish the 100%) I totally disagree but by sticking mostly to the story missions you really cut out a lot of fun activities that can take up way too much time.

The gameplay was fantastic in my opinion. "

You skipped all of the story and world exploration? Then I wouldn't say you finished the game. Plus, if you haven't done any stranger missions,

As much as I love Metal Gear, 4 was the only one with good gameplay.  "

4 was the only Metal Gear I've ever played. "

I fast traveled almost everywhere and by the end I was saying "Damn, this game is long." Almost too long I think. You could have cut out basically the entire Mexico portion and not lost out on anything that significant.. I really thought it dragged at times.

" @The_Laughing_Man:   so i should probably go back and try finishing the  side quest`s huh? "

Considering I stop to help every random person I see, and I travel on donkeys, it's going to take me a REALLY long time to beat the game.

" @The_Laughing_Man:   so i should probably go back and try finishing the  side quest`s huh? "

I'll never understand people who get games, then skip basically everything including the cutscenes.

" i`ve just now been replaying the game, didn`t realize there were like, 7 extra hours of things to do "

took me a day:/

Why would you even play a Rockstar game if you want to skip everything and get to the end? They are known for their rich storylines, variety of characters and a huge world to explore. 
 
How can you possibly skip the cutscenes? I'm curious...
