On the fact when he mentioned MGS1, that game also changed up the gameplay and mechanics as it progressed and thus experimented.
I never actually heard anyone complainig about A:I's length before tbh
it promised too much
it asked too much
A good point well made. This seems like another case where the careless choice of ultimately irrelevant and meaningless words many reviewers use has yet again impeded communication to the public and to developers/publishers.

The complaint isn't that the game is short, it's that it costs $60 and is short. Portal was short, it was just simultaneously well-priced.
People expect, rightfully so, about 1.2 hrs per tenbux they pay for a game.

It's just that the story got stretched. You could really feel it being a little bit too long.
I don't really complain, as I've enjoyed the game til the end.

That's the biggest problem with the order tbh.
It's a cool game that has a lot of neat stuff in it, but its dollar-to-content ratio is one of the worst in recent years.
if the The Order 1866 was a $30 it would have been fine.
He didn't even talk about how Ground Zeroes was panned by some Critics and players for it's 60 dollar price for a game that takes around 1-2 hours to beat.
Sure there is but for a person who wants to just play the story, paying 60 bucks for what most people called it at the time a "Demo" is a waste of money.

at MOST it was $40 and that was only if you bought a retail copy, something i think only major fans would do that didn't mind the extra $10.

$40 for PS4/XBO retail, $30 for PS3/360 if I remember right (I know digital got reduced to $30), $20 for PC release which was near half-off on the day of its Holiday Sale release.

WOOPS my b didn't know that since i'd bought the PS3 version.
I think it was around 50-60 here in Australia before the price reduction.

except the game as a whole is something like five times longer than the 1-2 hour story campaign.
when you buy the game, you buy the whole game. you don't order a sandwich, throw out everything but the bread, then complain about how much you spent on it

Straya mate. Games are normally $90-$100 here, GZ was less at $60.
