It's Short, So It Sucks!	comment	Games in the 1970s and early 1980s usually had no fixed ending; if you survived, you kept going. Then came home consoles and personal computers. Suddenly you had games with a definite length, lasting anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Sure, the ending probably wasn't much, but an arcade mentality still existed for most genres, meaning there was very little saving and a whole lot of soul-crushing difficulty. As such, unless you were very skilled, you probably aren't beating that game the same day — or in some case, the same weekend — you picked it up, meaning gamers were still more or less satisfied. Fast-forward to the 1990s and 2000s, where more arcade-style genres began to take a backseat in popularity to adventure and role-playing games. Now games were expected to last dozens of hours, with hour-long games quickly becoming regarded as short, budget titles to be avoided at all costs. The mentality developed that a game's length must be directly proportional to its price, and it's a mindset that has only gotten stronger as we enter the present day. In other words, it's short, so it sucks: it doesn't matter what genre the game being targeted is: first person shooters, shoot 'em ups, RPGs, Action-Adventure, you name it. If you can beat the game in a day or two, or worse, in one sitting, expect review sites to, at best, cut off a whole point or letter grade. Truth is, there is nothing (inherently) wrong with a short game. First of all, a game being short doesn't mean it's of poor quality. It literally just means that it's short. A shorter game of consistent, concentrated quality is ultimately going to be more preferable to games that were artificially stretched out with padding and other forms of fake longevity in response to this trope, but would otherwise be just as short. Secondly, as gamers grow older and chose to continue the hobby, they find that adulthood has more time-consuming responsibilities and complications than childhood: college/university, work, family life, and paying for your own necessities of food, water, and shelter leaves you with less time to play games, to say nothing of leaving you with less money to buy them. As such, there are a good amount of people who actually prefer a shorter game that can be beaten in a few days, or even hours, so they can get on with more urgent aspects of their lives, or at least move on to the next game (or the New Game Plus, or whatever post-game content is available in the present one). Additionally, long games tend to satiate the player after a single playthrough, leading to the mentality of â€œoh, I'll put this game away or sell it.â€� In comparison, shorter, arcade-like games, due to being designed specifically around having high replay value, are less likely to do this. You may find yourself undergoing multiple playthroughs of such a game, with the total of those hours matching or even exceeding the time you may have spent with that year's big AAA action-adventure title. Games for handheld consoles and mobile phones also fall under this idea of "short is good" since they're designed to allow for quick intermittent play while you're out on a normal day in contrast to the longer play sessions you may have on PC or console. This is further mitigated by handheld games commonly being cheaper. Still, as the general price of games remains high, gamers may blanch at paying full price for such a game, making this perhaps a legitimate complaint for a review, though a more apt label would be â€œit's short, so it's too expensive.â€� Some reviews have forgiven shorter games that are either budget-priced or cheap downloads (Portal is a commonly cited example, lasting around 3-4 hours, but originally sold in a $50 bundle with four other AAA games). Sufficiently egregious examples come across as a Mission-Pack Sequel masquerading as actual games. Development time of a game often plays an important role in inciting this reaction. When an hour-long game with little replay value had taken only three months to develop, then the length of the game is not usually paid attention to. However, when such a game would have taken over 10 years to develop, complaints about the game's length are more expected as the short length may not compensate for a decade of anticipation. Note that the minimum amount of time necessary to complete a game is never actually paid attention to, as very few games remain unbeatable within the space of a single day for the dedicated and experienced; it's only the amount of time it takes on an ordinary, first-time playthrough that draws this ire. It's Easy, So It Sucks! is a sister trope. This is not the inverse of Bigger Is Better in Bed. It is the inverse of Ending Fatigue though, which is where you feel that the story has gone on for too long. If people are screaming this because the work happened to be awesome for how little there was, and they're upset there wasn't more of them to enjoy, then you have yourself a case of Awesomeness Withdrawal. This page is not about complaining about video games or other works that are too short. This is when the fandom (or hatedom) and reviewers make the complaint.

It's Short, So It Sucks! / int_1929cbce	comment	A common complaint about The Super Mario Bros. Movie is its short running time of 92 minutes and its fast pacing (for the sake of comparison, Universal's previous animated film, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, was 102 minutes), with the general feeling that the film could've done with at least 10 more minutes to flesh out some of its setpieces or plot beats.

This is fairly forgivable as it was produced solely as a low-budget CBS 'movie of the week', performed live, and happens to be a damn good adaptation of the source novel, despite the Americanization of James Bond.

It's Short, So It Sucks! / int_271b9cc8	comment	Persona 5: The Animation is often criticized for this. The game can easily take 100 hours to complete, but the anime only has 26 episodes that are each about 25 minutes long, plus two 50-minute OVAs, making the series about twelve and a half hours long, and resulting in numerous cuts. The pacing is significantly quickened, and important bits of exposition and Character Development are cut out. Most Confidants who aren't party members or affiliated with the Velvet Room are Demoted to Extra, with the exception of Sojiro. The party tends to clear most dungeons in a montage, despite the fact that Persona 5 featured more complex and elaborate dungeons than its predecessors. Some viewers consider this a poor adaptation, while others argue that it's a decent way to experience the story if you don't have time to play the game.

Many people who read it were unpleasantly surprised to find out that the third chapter is the last. The fact that it ends abruptly, with little having changed between the two leads, doesn't help.

It's Short, So It Sucks! / int_47dfc6f	comment	Total Drama: Revenge of the Island lasted 13 episodes, as half as long as the 26 episode seasons (not counting the 27th episode specials in Island and Action, or the former season's big recap before the finale), and (besides the point that it mirrors the headcount of 13 contestants) it's often blamed for having rushed plotlines (specifically, a double elimination). The All Stars title sequence is also criticized by fans, as it lasted 20 seconds and uses an abbreviated version of the theme song. When Pahkitew Island aired on Cartoon Network in the United States, it was advertised as a "two-week Summer Showdown". This move did not give fans enough time to catch up on the episodes after they aired. Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race went back to the 26-episode format the first three seasons of the primary show used. However, this did not stop the network (even the show's native country Canada) from airing the episodes on a daily basis instead of weekly. This would end up being the only season of The Ridonculous Race to ever be produced.

They somehow took 20 episodes and edited down to only 103 minutes (for rather vague reasons), meaning that whole scenes had to be either dropped, replaced with narration, or combined in ways that just made it a mess.

It's Short, So It Sucks! / int_bb58cad8	comment	Justice League (2017) was criticized for being too short at 120 minutes for an ensemble film. After the divisive audience reception to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Warner Bros. executives mandated that the film should last no more than 2 hours, allegedly to allow for more screenings per day and address the complaints that Batman v Superman was too long. The problem is that while a shorter run time would be appropriate for solo movies, this ended up hurting an ensemble film like Justice League since there is less time devoted to developing each hero. A lot of footage was cut from Zack Snyder's originally intended version and eventually made it to the Director's Cut, which is a whopping four hours long.

It's Short, So It Sucks! / int_bbef40fc	comment	The eighth episode of Movie Fights only lasts for about half an hour (instead of the usual 90 minutes) due to the producers being in a rush to celebrate Thanksgiving. As a result, the gladiators were barely given the chance to defend their choices, and a lot of people were not pleased with the end result.

It's Short, So It Sucks! / int_bcb03d22	comment	A major criticism of Hazbin Hotel's first season is that it's only eight-episodes long, which many fans felt resulted in plotlines having little-to-no buildup (like the revelation that Vaggie was an angel) and rushed or nonexistent character dynamics (such as Charlie's troubled relationship with dad).

It's Short, So It Sucks! / int_c4282b71	comment	Many fans of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic have called out the Season 3 episodes "Keep Calm and Flutter On" and "Magical Mystery Cure" as being rushed, and feel the stories in question should have been two-parters. Unfortunately, the season was a shortened 13 episodes and had already started with one two-parter, meaning a significant chunk of content would have to be lost to make this happen. Of course, that just transfers the criticism to the whole season rather than just these episodes; if it had had the standard 26 episodes, there would have been more room to extend stories that needed it.

It's Short, So It Sucks! / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: From 1963-89, the series was presented as a serial, with storylines sometimes taking a month or longer to unfold. When the series returned in 2005 it adopted a more US-style format consisting of standalone single episodes and a couple of two-parters per season (though each season to date has had a background story arc of some sort). Some die-hard fans complained (and continue to complain) that they miss the more leisurely pace that four, six, or more weekly episodes afforded the viewer. In the '80s, the series actually moved to something closer to the current format with an experiment during the Colin Baker era of splitting stories into two 45-minute episodes (as is done now) and with a few Peter Davison stories clocking in at two 25-minute episodes (not much longer than a stand-alone 45-min episode from post-2005 series). Another thing worth mentioning is that, especially in the Eccleston and Tennant eras, there were complaints that some writers (often those who grew up watching the 63-89 run) were scripting stories that were more suited to 4x25mins rather than a single 45min episode meaning that sub-plots were resolved extremely quickly, there was poignant dwelling on the death of characters the viewer had only known for about 15 minutes, etc, etc.

It's Short, So It Sucks! / int_d8570146	comment	Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race went back to the 26-episode format the first three seasons of the primary show used. However, this did not stop the network (even the show's native country Canada) from airing the episodes on a daily basis instead of weekly. This would end up being the only season of The Ridonculous Race to ever be produced.

It's Short, So It Sucks! / int_db96ded4	comment	The first season of The Legend of Korra is accused of this, though the minuta of these complaints is less about the actual length of the season (12 episodes), and more about how the poor pacing of its events. The general thought within the fandom is that the season should have been longer in order to better devote time to both the main civil rights plot and the romance subplot, or that the romance subplot should have been cut away entirely like the tumor it was.

It's Short, So It Sucks! / int_dcbaf050	comment	Thor: Love and Thunder is one of the shortest entries into the MCU, and much of the controversy around the film stems from complications caused by that (such as cutting out subplots that had been hyped like Valkyrie's love interest, some of Gorr's Character Development, etc), and though some appreciated the breezy experience, especially those who have gotten sick of some superhero movies boasting very long runtimes, it's not uncommon to find people who cite the short length as a mark against it compared to the other MCU films.
