"Every game is too short, although we never finish the games we play. Every game is too expensive, although we demand ever-increasing levels of interaction, graphical fidelity, and length. The same people who claim every game was 80 hours and a masterpiece 10 years ago are 10 years away from saying that today was the golden time, once they have the distance needed to scrub the bad games from memory. We used to claim we wanted more people to game, but now we scoff at those who play "casual" games as if planting a garden strategically is somehow beneath those of us who pretend to be an elf... strategically. We are sitting around a Dungeons and Dragons table and complaining about people who read Twilight."

i read the gaf one piece musou thread and there are people complaining about the orange looking marines and the textures and shit in the pics. They're complaining about shit no one will notice when hauling ass  by the hundreds of thousands, in a game that is very lucky to even EXIST.

to quote the warhammer thread:

Also, 4chan- once united in anticipation of this game is now split because half are upset an ultramarine shrugged off the codex astartes lol. So basically /v/ went like this:

•Ultramarines? Boring chapter all they do is follow the rules.
•Titus says lets not follow the codex astartes.
•Fucking Relic- this isn't realistic the Ultramarines need to follow rules or its not canon!

the solution is to keep replaying your favorite game until you get bored and move to a new hobby

Eh length is important in RPG's.  People dont finish their other RPG's because the games are boring and shit.  Games are getting better now though.

I think the only part of Darksiders that bothered me was the portal stuff at the end, I had to watch a YOU TUBE VIDEO to figure parts of it out

Or, if you're a Nintendo fan, you can keep replaying your favorite games whenever they launch a new console.
