And I can't believe the game is short - I played ME1 2 and 3 for about 60-70 hours each.

Most people played them in less than half the time though.

So you paid $30 credit card, and the gift card covered the rest? That's not $30 bucks, that's still $60 bucks. That opportunity cost isn't free, you could have spent that gift card on other things.

And I can't believe the game is short - I played ME1 2 and 3 for about 60-70 hours each.

That's more or less the same for me, but I played each game twice for Paragon and Renegade playthroughs to get those times. (Technically 4 times on ME1 since I played it on 360 but then again on PC)

Unless the pacing after this first golden world goes to absolute poo poo, there is no way you can just blast through the rest of the game that fast.

I'm sure there is an extra 40 hours of content for those that like to collect things.

I distinctly remember my first run in ME3 being a very complete run and lasting a bit under 25 hours.
I remember because I went "okay, I spent a day on that and that loving ending was the reward?".

I'm not going to post it because it's a straight endgame spoiler location, but the stream earlier had saves with the time played attached to them, alongside game completion.

And as I said, guy had "Game Completion 59%/Time Played: 21 hours."

Now, guy could 100% be lying about how he spent 5 hours 100%ing worlds, and he actually did spend all 21 of those hours doing the main quest with zero side quests, but he still finished FIFTY NINE PERCENT of ME:A in 21 hours. And he can't even be lying about side quests, because he opens his quest log/journal at various points and it's full of completed side quests.

So yeah, I'm going to say it's very possible the pacing after the first world goes to absolute poo poo.

"Game completion 59%"

"Time played 21 hours."

Guy said he did all the main stuff/side quests, everything else was just grabbing collectibles/maybe finding a few extremely wayward endgame quests. Said the main core path took him about 15 hours not rushing, and he spent about 5ish hours trying to 100% a few planets.

Yikers.

I mean it's certainly possible that the main quest line makes up a disproportionate amount of the completion percentage, but yeah. Yikes indeed.

But that's usually because they skip side quests and skip dialogue. This guy had a journal filled with completed side quests, and he didn't skip dialogue/side quests across any of the footage he's posted ( he also posted other footage of the game previously ). So either he's setting up for the long con here and played the game legit through the first world/ending, but secretly speedrunned it to showcase the ending online, or ME:A does have a serious drop off.

That was a fairly completionist run. I did the garbage multiplayer map missions.
I got the green ending.

If you have Origin Access, it's a free game in "the vault".
