    I want shorter games, on average. 10-20 hour completion times would be right up my alley.

      I blame Far Cry 3 for this proliferation of open world bobbins. So much shit to do and almost none of it is worth doing.

        I tried to play borderlands 2 and I was moving happily through the main story when I realized I was way, way under-levelled for the next part. I then realized I needed to go do half a dozen of the 30 or so fetch quests I had ignored up to that point. I did not continue playing Borderlands 2

          You were more patient than me. I lasted about an hour of it. I just don’t think FPS gameplay and RPG stats gel at all well. Can’t stand Destiny for the exact same reason.

          Call me a traditionalist, but I expect enemies that take bullets to the face to do the decent thing and drop down dead, rather than just take very slightly more damage.

            That’s why Shadow Warrior 2 was so disappointing after the first reboot. Reboot was an updated fps thay even managed to make the sword melee relevant through the whole game. 2nd one was a bullet spongy mess

            I enjoyed Fallout 3. But I agree with the general point. RPG/FPS’ rarely gel.
