The Order: 1886 is going to be an extreme trainwreck but I think it will be popular enough on Games for someone to buy a banner add or some really retarded smiley.

He is right, but his game is going to be a steaming pile of rear end.

I don't think number of hours means jack poo poo but when making a game try to, at the very least, make a gameplay more interesting than that latest Rambo game, an on-rails shooter, and TLOU failed at that

They should have called it 1887 and given you akimbo 1887s pre patch

if the gameplay's more interesting it means people will play it more times which means hours matter even less

being short isn't bad if a game has good replay value. being short and having no replay value kinda sucks though.

That's true and you make good points, but Portal 1 also isn't sold as a $60 game that is going to be a "filmic" experience.

Basically I think arguing about length is dumb but when your game is yet another boring cover based third person shooter when it could have been absolutely anything else in the world you should be killed.
