Voodoo Extreme (Ve3d now) is even saying it's as close to a 10 as you
can get with a game:

That's a quote from IGN on that page.

Considering how common this complaint is nowadays I wonder if it's time
we re-adjust our opinions of how many hours of play an RPG is supposed
to have.

When was the last time an RPG had more than 20 or so hours of play?
KOTOR 2 and.... ? I'd think we'd have to go all the way back to
Morrowind for the next one.

Sounds great. However only 22 hours of gameplay?
That's sounds really short to me for an RPG.

I personally don't think that is a short game. With Morrowind's open-ended
play style, it would make sense that it would take that long but these are
not open-ended rpg's we are talking about.

this is an "action rpg". no more micromanaging your inventory, a time
consuming process. the 22 hours was supposedly a single play through
without much exploration, which doesn't even touch on the branching paths
that are missed due to gameplay choices. I'm totally stoked about this
game. except for the fact that it doesn't do widescreen

I thought the demo was terrible maybe just not my type of game. Looked
pretty but that was it, I do not see how it could get a 9.9.
