@lundy86_4: Some of those longer stretches in XC were still very tolerable for me because the music is so goddamn beautiful in this game. One of my personal favorite video game music scores, ever. The atmosphere is so goddamn good too.
I remember when I first ever played XC, all too often I found joy in just taking a pause and soaking in some of the incredible views the game has to offer, and that soundtrack.
The funny thing about Rockstar games is their lengths are about average to the length of XC. Most Rockstar games are about 60 hours in length too, yet somehow I have issues with it.
I think that just goes to show the quality of a Rockstar game, the fact their novelties wear thin very quick. I've always thought, if a Rockstar game is just 30 to 40 hours long, I'd probably enjoy them a lot more, because I would say that's about the amount of time it takes to fully embrace Rockstar mechanics before they begin to reveal how shallow and limited they really are.
