I do think it is cool that there is so much expansive stories and different styles of storyline sequencing. That is a neat feature in itself. I feel that since it is like this then each person can have his or her own gaming experience.

I am curious to see what you would rate this game? On a scale of one to ten, what are the marks that you give it?

I don't like the idea of an out of 10 thing because I remember watching an episode of the Jimquistion where he pointed out that fans have a tendency to hate on anything that isn't at least a 9 or 9.5. Sometimes they even rage at the reviewers for games that didn't get 10s (like the Call of Duty fans for the review of MW3 by Game Informer Journalists)

I never have and never will give a pros and cons list or an /10 or /5 rating because it leaves a visual representation of either hate or ignorance from both the readers and the reviewer. hmm this gives me an idea for the next Analyze.

I can't finish these games either. 200 hours of gameplay? Holy shit. That is too much for a game, LOL. Is this with the extra side-quests or just straight through?

That's including, but not limited to, the side quests.
