The whole Thessia mission for example feels like a sidequest. I mean in 1 and 2 there were dozens of sidequest which took longer than Thessia. Same for Palaven and Sur'Kesh. Quite disappointing from my pov.

Also there are no hubworlds to explore like in 1 or 2 (no exploring at all).

I think a lot of people miss the point that ME1 was the shortest of the series by far. I hardly count the sidequest due to 90% of them being identical with different stories and the 10 min mako rides on identical planets.

ME1's main quest was literally no longer than a CoD campaign.

No, it's the exact same as the other two upon your first run, completing everything.

Except how many hours of ME3 were spent doing useless fetch quests or "talk to x" assignments that are even more boring than before?  It seems like they just stuffed the game with fillers.

ME3 def took me the least time to play, and i was near 100% on the frist playthrough unlike me1 and me2. Want a longer game, I guess you could raise the skill lvl or not upgrade you gear as much. We also dont have any real dlc yet to add some hours so there's that too.

Well here's the rub...

DA2 was lambasted for having "rinse and repeat" fetch/carry missions, that took you to locations using the same map assets.

So...

ME3 is the opposite, because instead of landing on a planet, you just get to scan it, "fetch" the item, then "carry" it back to a limited interaction NPC back on the Citadel.

Shame.

These sort of side quests are of course "filler" for the game, but at least use assets from previous games, if there was no desire to flesh out the side quests any more.

[Cosmar]

Yeah, I did all the side missions and everything, and even if the actual hours played matched up more or less to previous games, it just "felt" faster to me.

And like ahandsomeshark said, I felt this way especially post-Rannoch. I was a little disappointed there wasn't more we could do on Thessia, but after Rannoch I felt similarly as I did after Virmire, like the game was kinda funneling me toward the end.

[ev76]

I think after Rannoch there was potential to add 5-10 hours more of gameplay but it seemed rushed. Either way my playthroughs ( finished two at the moment on a third right now) will avg. About 33 hours. Not bad considering one dlc (prothean)

My first play-through felt as long as my first ME2 did, I think the pacing of the game and the lack of any planet mini-games or random planet landings makes it seem shorter and smaller in any subsequent play-throughs.

I sort of expected that though, you've spent two games exploring the universe and looking for evidence to backup your claims, now its about stopping the Reapers and anything else would be a 'needless' distraction. Its a fine line and easy to get wrong, at times in ME2 it felt like the collector's were not the main story line in the game and given the scale of the Reaper invasion it would be wrong to detract from the focus of that in ME3.

Sometimes games can be too open, while I enjoyed it alot I just never felt like there was a 'main questline or story' in Skyrim.

30 hours for 5 characters x second playthrough and multiplayer so about 150-500+ hours. Not short imo.

[Trentgamer]

One thing I noticed, if you play on casual, the games go much faster. Normal difficulty and above usually takes a bit longer. The fighting parts definitely take longer on anything above casual I think.

Significantly less than ME1, as you had to drive around barren planets to do the boring fetch quests on that.

ME3 doing all the sidequest + Javik's mission was only 30 hours. And I played on Normal. I guess it might have been longer if I played on Insanity..

[doodiebody]

All of the games were 30ish hours for me, give or take. ME1 was the shortest, ME2 the longest, and ME3 in between.

[rivqa]

It took me 30 hours and I'm generally slow -- I'd have spent around 50 on ME1 and ME2. And I feel like I wasted heaps of time on the Citadel, even more than the usual time-wasting I do. So yes, it felt short.

[KotorEffect3]

Takes me close to 40 hours and no I don't die alot. ME 1 takes me around 30 hours and ME 2 takes me close to 50 hours and ME 2 has alot of DLC giving it more meat. Pre DLC ME 2 took me around 27 hours. I am sure once the DLC starts rolling in ME 3 will take up to 50 hours. ME 3 just feels short because the pacing is very well done.

No it really wouldn't be.

[MrPuschel]

It feeld a much shorter because of the go-to-a-and-shoot-b sequences.

[Cody]

...I did everything and had 45 hours. Unless you rushed it I don't see how anyone could get 20 hours. Like ffs.

[Phattee Buttz]

Shorter game = more DLC = more $$ for EA.

[Xenmir]

I would say on average all three games take 45 hours for me to complete 100%.

[shadey]

it's definately shorter than the other 2 games

insanity took 28 hours, with every single quest done and planet scanned.

there isn't 40+ hours of content, there are no loyalty quests, squadmates have less to say, there is only one place to visit, the citadel, no planet scanning virtually, most of the side missions are on very small maps

ME 1 took two playthroughs, but one was half-assed and the second was 100% and it took 70-ish hours. ME2 took 50 something hours for the same thing, one part and second 100%. ME3 was 100% and it took me 30. I think it was shorter. I did a playthrough with only story, and ME1 was 7 hours and ME2 was 17. I haven't done ME3 with that one thugh.

[ElectronicPostingInterface]

There were elements of the game that were underdeveloped, definitely.

Felt like their were a lot of missed opportunties and unfinished plot lines.
