    By a fucking QA tester in a speed competition. Probably skipping all dialogue and cutscenes and teleporting everywhere. Bethesda said the average time for the main quest will be 25-30 hours. So that doesnt mean shit.

    back to the 360 and ps3 camparisons...i've already stated that ive had my ps3 for like 3 years and have yet to play a game online so $50 a year wouldn't be worth it for me. and i dont care about all the features xbl has, like the online chat cause thats why i have the internet. blu-ray movies are not that expensive, they're less then the cost of xbl for year. DVDs used to be around the same price. the prices for HD TVs, blu-ray players, and blu-ray movies will come down eventually just like dvd players and dvds did. blu-ray will probably take over the market eventually anyway, just like DVDs killed off VHS. as for which console exclusives are better, thats just a matter of opinion. personally i'd rather have Twisted Metal over any xbox exclusive. the only xbox exclusives that i can think of that i really wanted to play were Left 4 Dead and Alan Wake. i dont like the halo games.

    this...

    and you could easily sink over 100 hours into fallout 3, Skyrim will be no different. no matter much you want to fanboy it doesn't change the fact batman cannot hold a candle to Skyrim in terms of game length

    I believe the point was it can be beaten very quickly.

    I believe the point is invalid
  • mrAPEmrAPE Posts: 39,476 moneytalker
    Not really. He said it can be beat in 2 hours he proved it. Point valid.

    I've never played the game. Don't even know what it is.

    The game was beaten by a QA tester who has more than likely been playing the game for months now and has played the majority of the quests in the game. He knows the game inside and out. He was also purposely trying to beat it quick, assumably skipping cutscenes and important plot points.

    So, employee of developer racing to beat Skyrim = Marc sitting on his ass eating cheetos and beating Arkham City. Im sure if someone from Rocksteady did the same for Arkham City theyd beat it in an hour, maybe 45 minutes. Point invalid.

    Did a person regardless of job title beat the game in 2 hours and 16 minutes. Yes or no?

    there's no legit way of beating fallout 3 in 75 minutes, they had to be teleporting because just walking across the capital wasteland alone would take 75 minutes

    for those of you who care...


    Battlefield 3 To Offer Early Access To Mass Effect 3 Demo

    If you weren't already excited about DICE's upcoming Battlefield 3, EA just sweetened the pot. Gamers who purchase the game will receive early access to the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer demo.

    The news broke through the (Canadian, by the sound of it) unboxing video of the PS3 version of Battlefield 3. An insert in the game package stated that the purchaser would have "early access to the multiplayer portion of the Mass Effect 3 demo." Apparently, details on when BF 3 owners can access the demo will be revealed through Battlefield 3's in-game ticker.

    Later, on the Mass Effect 3 Facebook page and Twitter account, it was announced that the ME 3 demo will feature both single- and multiplayer portions. According to Facebook, "It’s going to be a happy new year! Mass Effect 3 will have a pre-release demo in January 2012. The demo will have both single player and multiplayer sections, giving fans a taste of what’s to come on 3/6/12."

    Sounds like the perfect way to get through the January gaming doldrums.

    Good thing I'm getting Battlefield 3

    Yea, fuck Oblivion and Skyrim. Any game that takes 1,000 hours to fully complete is a waste of time and for people with no lives. The longest I ever spent on a game was a little over 80 hours on Kingdom Hearts 2. Completing as much extra shit as possible and shit.

    Then don't complete everything. Quite simple.
  • ShaneShane Posts: 15,229 balls deep
    fallout 3 took about 30 hours for the main quest but you could easily sink over 100 if you did everything... i don't see the problem. I'd rather have the option

    This. Plus id rather have a game that can take me months to fully complete if I choose to stretch it out that long

    Even the main story can take about 100 hours. At least in Oblivion. I never beat it, but I've heard that from multiple people.

    Also, I wanna get this. It's not just a video game like Guitar Hero/Rock Band. It's literally pretty much a Guitar teacher. The sole purpose of the "game" is to teach you Guitar. Comes with a real Epiphone Guitar and shit. And since I wanna learn Guitar, I think this will be perfect for me without having to pay for lessons.
