i still like medium length games. stuff that can be 100%ed in like 30-35 hours is perfect for me.

I like long games so I feel like I'm getting my moneys worth I'm like 55 hours into horizon and nearly finished and ive been playing it for like a month. Could be a bit longer imo

Dollars to game length doesn't work on me because I hate padding and busywork, they act as a detriment to a game's Fun Factor. I'd rather have a sweet short package than something longer but full of uneventful traversal

I'm really struggling to think of a game that was too short. Even when the ending is a bit abrupt it's more an issue with pacing than lack of time.

Its nothing new though, took me like 4 months start to finish to beat Uncharted. These folks who are already on a second run of persona 5 scare the poo poo out of me.

Titanfall 2 was the first game in YEARS that I finished and outright wanted another level or 2! That's not to say its too short but I certainly wanted more.

TF2 could have used a few more stages and Doom '16 a few less

I think some people got really mad about Metal Gear Rising's length when some reviewer posted his completion stats or w/e (It maybe happened with Vanquish too)

I think Titanfall 2's single-player needed a couple more stages where it would reach its full potential. I loved the game but I felt there was still some air left under the accelerator pedal if that makes sense.

It's weird because two mega-long games came out really close to one another that both hooked me totally (Breath of the Wild and Persona 5), but usually I can't do mega-long games anymore. Before Breath of the Wild, the last one I managed to actually complete was Pillars of Eternity, I think. It's a very special super-long game that can hook me the entire time, which I guess explains how over-the-top my love for Persona 5 is.

I can get into 1 mega long game only every couple of years but it's more about what can get me actually hooked rather than a premeditated decision.

I played Yakuza 0 and Persona 5 in back-to-back months and while I loved both they've left my brain in a pile of mush

I don't really care how long or short a game is as long as it has decent pacing. Financially I prefer long games so I get my $60 worth

I have no problem with buying games at full price, in fact I think putting down $60 motivates me to find the good stuff in a title and play it to completion rather than waiting for a sale on something I'm iffy on and getting bored after a couple hours. My instincts about what looks fun are mostly correct and it's only the full-throated endorsements of goons that cause me to waste my money on poo poo I don't like.

I think it's usually pretty obvious if a game is something you might enjoy just from watching a video or two, or at least I can usually tell. If I see someone wholeheartedly recommending something that I don't think I'd enjoy, my usual assumption is that it's just a matter of taste. I might be missing out on some great games that I could've taken a chance on, but so far I've yet to buy a game on someone's recommendation and end up disappointed, so it's probably a wash.

Is a goongret "I'm sorry I got talked into buying this" or "I'm sorry I can't enjoy this as much as my goon friends"?
