I never really noticed a length difference, but that's also because I don't like JRPGs very much and far prefer Western-style RPGs, and therefore haven't had much experience with Japanese games outside of the sort of canon of classics (Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy IV, Star Ocean, etc). However...

Wow. Reading this thread, it seems like everyone has completely insane speeds compared to me. I just did a test, and I get about 4.75 Mbps (and oddly enough I have a higher upload speed than download speed).

I've mostly been replaying games this year as well as finding new ones, so as a result I've started a lot of playthroughs but haven't finished many. The ones I have finished, in no particular order, include: Dead Rising 3 Mass Effect 3 (replay of the whole trilogy) Gears of War 3 Doom II...

I don't personally hate IGN. Actually, I still go on there -- but I don't really pay attention to their reviews, most of what I look at is the insanely stupid comment section to cheer myself up and remind myself that I'm not the dumbest person in the world. I suppose I do also sometimes go there...
