I can beat any RPG that's Handheld in three days tops. If it's home it takes longer as I can't get as into it.

quote Shadow Pikmin AaI~ You can finish every single quest(Including minor sidequests) and get all the unique items and secret things, I think you'd beat it. Or at least get bored with it. Have you even got Oblivion? You shouldn't be saying things about the game unless you've played it. -------------------  | |

It takes me 1-2 hours to beat any game now days, but when I was in the 4th grade it took me about 3-4 days

I know what you mean. I have a lot of old games that I never beat, some that took me years to beat, then months, weeks, and days. It's just so much easier now. Maybe its because my fingers are a better length, and I'm more coordinated. Who knows? Maybe they are just easier.

Yes. It took me about 50 tries to beat Mario when I was a kid, which spanned over two weeks. I'm obviously smarter now, but I feel the gaming industry has not kept up with human advancement.

Games are getting shorter and shorter as time progresses. Its because devolopers aren't so worried on the gameplay these days. There more worried about how their game looks whilst being played.

Back on the NES and N64 you could put HOURS and HOURS into games. Nowadays I can just beat Halo 3 ODST on legendary in like 5 hours

Pretty much every game I've played in the last 5 years has been like that. The average game is much easier now because video games in general now appeal to a much larger audience. Shit had to be dumbed down.

The problem with me and games is that once I start playing it I have a very tough time taking a break, so I beat almost every game quick

Yep, same thing happened to me until I was around 15. XD I couldn't even tell you how long it took me to complete Kingdom Hearts. In fact, I have games from like 2002 that I didn't complete until last year. But now I can breeze through even the most difficult games in a few days if I'm disciplined enough (but I like to pace myself so it takes a little longer). I don't think that games are getting easier though (R&C5 was much tougher than the rest of the series). Guess it's just because I'm older and more experienced at gaming.

It's because we are smarter game wise (or smarter in general), older games were harder, and etc.
But I know what you mean. -------------------   | |
