Some games are just too long. The gameplay is not addictive enough to last the length of the game. This is one of them.

i disagree, you dont have to play the game in one sitting, you can stretch it out over time you know :Dif a game is to big i just play it on a friday night and the rest of the week piss around with other things.

I dont mean to put down the game. It was one of my favourite 360 titles of 06. I'm just stating a common problem i have with certain games. This game had really poor combat IMO, no sense of impact what so ever, and took a thousand hits to kill someone (even in their sleep). Also the loading times were annoying. Little things like that cause me to lose interest in a game even when the story is as gripping as it is. I think i played for 28 hours and just lost interest. I had the same problem with KOTOR, no doubt an amazing game, but just could not be bothered to finish it.

I can see that being true of some gamers. I think others quite enjoy the discovery oriented games where they do true roleplaying, determining their own path in a new world. RPGs are not for everyone, especially true RPGs ala Western ones, just as the story oriented Japanese RPGs are not for everyone.

I am not really into either (until either get better realtime gameplay mechanics and offer a story / world I am interested in) but I can see the merits of the genre.

actually reminds me of that statement NINTENDO made about how they make these massive games but only a minority complete them, so there going to make there games shorter so all people get to see it all.... but of course still charge the same amount of money :D
