That all the older games like System Shock 1&2 and Deus Ex are so much longer than the newer Games e.g Deus Ex 2 & Bioshock. I spent ages working my way through SS2 and Deus Ex. But I completed DE2 in a Day and Bioshock in 2. WHY can't they make the newer games just as long as the older ones????:confused: :mad:
 
I agree with all of what you are saying but my problem is that the developers who are taking old titles such as Deus Ex have to remember that when people like me pick up Deus Ex 2 they are expecting the same style of play and length of story as the older one with aspects like graphics and gameplay to be vastly improved and when they get it and find that it's a good few days/weeks shorter to complete than the first one it's disappointing. :(

edit: also these titles don't have as much freedom about the game they are a hell of a lot more linear.

but i can't play old games anymore. at first, you had space invaders, it was fun, and about as hard core as games got at that point. basic, fun, but we grow, we learn, we got bored of basic and i would never go back to basic long games over more complex games of now.

I dissagree I'd rather go back and play a game that was more challenging and less linear over somthing that has s*** hot graphics and sounds plus the story lines had more to them and kept you thinking about what you had done and what you can do because of somthing you did or didn't do earlier this is what allows for a non linear game at the moment all games like the ones I discussed are suffering because they are precisely the opposite all your goals are set before you and you really don't have any choise about what you do. e.g Deus ex your given the option to stealthyly enter a backdoor or go in throgh the front all guns blazing or if the mission objective is not essential to the story you don't have to enter the building at all but in doing so you could make it harder for yourself to complete an objective essential to the story line it's this freedom of choise that was available for games that have an RPG element to them like Deus Ex and SS2 that I miss. :(
 
Thing is I'm not talking about the MMORPG games. I've played most of them and decided although their all good they do tend to either get boring or take over your life so I kicked the habit. What I'm after is the single player epic games and their ain't many coming out* and the sequals of older epic games have become much dumber, Immensly shorter and a hell of a lot more linear.:mad:
* I'm not sayin there aren't any E.g Oblivion
Anyhow I'll bring the rant to a close at this point :p:rolleyes:
