RE6 is long?

Its 20+ hours. Thats ~6x times longer than the hypothetical game you mentioned earlier.

What is with people falsely advertising the price for games on Craigslist? This one said in the title "5 Wii Games + 5 Gamecube Games for $5". Not one of those games were $5 and they were asking $160 for all 10.

except that's just 4 different 5 hour linear singleplayers put together in 1 game.

which just goes to show that they can easily put in a loooooott more than the amount you see in Spec Ops for example

Its one story 4 different characters.

RE6 is WAY longer than Spec Ops and Spec Ops is WAY better than RE6. It doesnt matter the length of the game its the quality that matters. They could have easily made Spec Ops a 20 hour singleplayer and that doesnt mean it would have made it any better.

mhm, that's why i said Linear 4 hour singleplayer. then it just drags on and on if all you're doing is following a line straight through the levels.

I'd mention here what consoles I plan on buying but I don't want to type out all the caveats and disclaimers.

by more content, I don't mean simply do the same thing you do in all modern shooters now only 4 times longer.

20 hours and open doesnt make a game good either. RDR is that and I dont think its good at all. Quality is more important than quantity.

as we already know (and you said yourself) you don't have a lot of imagination. you'd probably feel lost in an open world with not a lot of things being told what to do. and of course quality is more important. any game can be ****. But that is the problem of the developers not coming up with unique content to fill a game like that with, which i've seen done in a good way more than often enough.

4 hour linear game can definitely have good content in it, and it's way easier to keep that level of quality throughout the game. but simply knowing they could've made a game 5x bigger/longer/more content filled, but they didn't simply because they couldn't think of anything to do with all that space is just a bad thing to me.

and yet I loved Bully and LA Noire, and Fallouts and Skyrim and liked GTA 3 and 4. Just because they could make a game with 5x more everything doesnt mean they should. More games like Spec Ops and less like RDR would be a great thing.
