This is not how you compare it.

Rage takes up 25GB and, well, let's not go there .

I think the OP is more upset about the space that was not used. He probably thinks it could have been so much more.

But as said, the amount of space a game uses doesnt determine its content or quality.

Quality over quantity. And anyways they are completly different games. I just beat mass effect 3 and I dont like either of them better than they other. They both satisfy some of the things I want differently. You cant judge a game on just its size. If battlefield 3 were uncompressed (i think it is compressed, most are) and were 50 gb would that make it better than all other games that are smaller than it? Also thats probably way off but it proves the point.

I know but maybe he has a different opinion

I'd say at sixteen gig, they've screwed up somewhere. And while some of us have full time Jobs and therefore no time to play a game five days straight, I have still not done a tenth of Skyrim in the past three months, much of Oblivion in the past six years and a fair bit of Morrowind in the past decade. Has anyone out there not finished a Mass Effect Game in the same amount of time?

But Skyrim didnt even run properly on the Ps3 with the amount of data in the game to begin with.

Oh, and Skyrim had way more than 5 days of content. I've played it for at least 350 hours. Just thought id put that out there.

5.25=120 you moron..

There's 24 hours in a day you moron..

i am still eagerly waiting for the OP to reinforce his views on how the SIZE of content is determined by game SIZE

Really, extremely silly thread!

I see people have already finished ME3 on Friday - that is March 9th, which is 3 days after release.
It would seem like actual game play time is inversely correlated to game size in GB.
I played Skyrim for about 150 hours before final battle, and I did NOT do Thieves Guild or Dark Brotherhood or Bards quests.
And if you fast travel everywhere - well :
1) you miss out on a LOT of game play and exploring, and exploring is something I suspect that ME3 almost totally lacks
2) you can't fast travel everywhere and complete the game - it is simply not possible in Skyrim (likely is in ME3)

I fast travel at least 75% of the time and Skyrim is still one of many RPGs that are too long ie suffering from quantity over quality.

Yep like the one in my avatar and the rest of the Gold Box games.

Well, being someone who downloaded my game, I'm glad I only had to download a small amount...according to the OP I can now watch mega-gig's worth of internet p**n...

I'm at around 250 hours of Skyrim play, and I feel I have barely started. This clearly all entirely subjective. Although I don't share the OP's opinion, it is perfectly valid; his argument, however, is absolute nonsense.

lol at the idea that MW3 has anywhere near the level of content as Skyrim.

lol so hard.

Look everyone is missing the point. The point is how can I make this thread even more awesome?????

TACOS!!!!!!

This thread gone far enough.
