Gothic 2 has been <a href="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/r/?page=http://www.computerandvideogames.com/reviews/reviews_story.php(que)id=94902" target="_blank">reviewed</a> by Computer & Video Games. It's pretty positive with a final score of 80%. Here's a snip:<blockquote><em>Let's talk landscape first, since this is one of the game's best points. Gorgeous and twice as big as the first, strolling around the rolling landscape, glancing at the setting sun glint around the wooded glades, carping askew thy swamps and clifftops - it really brings out the William Wordsworth in me. (William Shatner, more like - Ed.) Your initial quest sees you foraging with no reason to go beyond a relatively small area - still huge, mind - so you'll often find yourself impressed when you take a wander off the beaten track. A little strolling before typing this, for instance, and I came across a whacking great temple in a valley I'd never seen before. All praise must go to the map designers who've managed to come up with a world that feels natural and varied enough not to become repetitive. And it's all been done without the intermittent immersion-breaking loading times of Morrowind.</em></blockquote> |

So, how many hours of gameplay does Gothic 2 really give? I bought Gothic 1 on a Thursday evening and sold it back to the store Sunday afternoon, and I saw every inch of the gameworld.
50 hours of gameplay for $40 sucks when I can get 200-500 hours in a MMORPG in one month, each month for $13. |

If you "sold it back," then you didn't pay $40, did you? If you want to play a game 6-16 hours a day for months on end, then buy an online game, but you already know that no single player game will give you that much, so quit complaining.

Yeah, that makes sense... Even going back to some old mmorpg that I was hoping to get away from would still give me more hours even if I give up on the character and try to quit again.  |

You can also see it from another perspective. What if you have a family and spend 10 hours a day at work? Then you hardly have more than an hour per day for gaming. A 50 hours game takes almost two months to finish.
I think quality is more important than quantity. I wish all developers would just cut out all the filler material.
