Is Halo a better game than World of Goo? Personally, I probably enjoyed WoG better, but I haven’t finished either game, so I have no idea which is longest. Clearly, game length didn’t vaguely factor in for me. And That doesn’t put me in some minority either. A huge chunk of gamers never finish games. I’ve been gaming since pong and only ever ‘finished’ 3 games in my entire life. I got bored with Half Life (yes really) and Half Life 2, and Bioshock, and almost any game you care to mention. When I read about how some l33t haxxor ‘finished’ a game in 8 hours, I find it laughable. Imagine bragging about ‘finishing’ war and peace in 2 days. The idea is to enjoy the experience, not race to the end as fast as you can.

How exactly do you disagree with him saying he got bored of games?
If he said "I'm hungry." would you disagree with that too?
Is it really hard to understand? I wasn't bored with Half Life, Half Life 2, Bioshock and almost any game he might have cared to mention. I disagree with his critique that most games are boring. Understand now?
Maybe he would have understood if you had posted that the first time instead of just "I disagree" or "I agree". You didn't even offer an opinion of your own. So I can get why he would have trouble "understanding".
