Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows

[Fletch]

3 hours to beat. That is an hour for every year of development time.

so no good huh? what plaform? any screens?

[Deckaux]

I don't get it.

It's the same across all platforms. We played it on X-Box. It's very pretty, and there are like 2 hard spots in the game, but I think Mike was about to put a controller into the wall when it ended.

man...this is the Midway game, right?

they are out there pimping how clever their marketing was on a limited budget...to market a great game...

a very short game i guess.

Whenever I beat a short game, I get so mad I start punching things.

HL2 caused me to punch things.

Very frustrating when you hit the end of a game so quickly. Sometimes games can get away with it simply by being awesome (ie. Ico, PoP games, Conflict:* games in 4 player coop), but at other times you are just left completely unsatisfied. After just 3 hours, it would be bloody had to find "satisfaction" I reckon

I didn't really think HL2 was all that short - on par with most modern FPS's I'd say.

[von*ferret]

HL2 was really short huh?

I got through it in 10 hours and I thought I was taking it slow.

Of course, I find 8-12 hours to be the sweet spot for most games; only the occasional kotor or wow (or ratchet, now that I think about it) has me embracing 20-30+ (615,507,000+ in the case of wow) hours. So no complaints from me.

i played jade empire for like 20, but that was pure fun and runing around.

[Mojo]

3 hours, Dark Legacy took a lot longer and was a whole lot more fun.

I don't mind that much about short games, if they are awesome.

But with 3 hours of gameplay, it should be cheap.
