Yeeeeah. No padding in old games. None at all.

Somebody hasn't gone back to play mainstream games on the PS2 era recently, when large developers had a fraction of the money and any game below 30 hours was ruthlessly slammed online for being "too short" and "not good value".

I swear, people use the term "triple-A" just to refer to bits of gaming they don't like, regardless of who made them or for how much money. The term is meaningless by now.
