The Guardian also reported very low game completion numbers.

If half of all players who touched the mode got through the first two acts, Tiburon actually did pretty well, and they are about on-par with how the rest of the industry is doing with respect to how well they engage players in story-driven single player modes.
But you're comparing these numbers to long rpg games. Longshot can be finished in under 4 hours..so these numbers mean most people only played for 2. I wouldn't call that a positive, especially since they spent FOUR YEARS developing this short story.
