Virt is obviously one of the best there is at his thing, but I was amazed just how accurate the 8bit version of Mount Vesuvius is to the sound and spirit of the game. Its an original track for a new level in the Remaster, but it sounds like its straight from the original. Im still not sure how he did it.

This absolutely sucks and gigantic game lengths are nothing to crow about. I have no idea why game companies do this, you don't get the movie industry talking about how long their movies are or a novelist being proud their new book is 6000+ pages.

Skyrim has sold 60 million copies and a lot of those are from people who don't play tons of games because they can buy one and spend years plinking away at it.

Setter is Better.

The guy basically said that the game "really started" when you beat the campaign, which is something people frequently say about Bethesda open world games. I have no idea why it was spun as the game literally being over 100 hours long, except Kotaku.

The quotes in the article straight up say there are 150+ hours of content and the campaign is 40-50 of them.

And the thing that everyone says about Bethesda campaigns is that they're the worst part of the game and you should ignore them and gently caress around with side content instead

Maybe not in explicit terms but both movies and games are now made with the mentality of "people have very little time and money to play games/watch movies any given year so we must throw everything into making sure they only consume OUR games/movies".

eh with movies there's a bit of an upper limit. at least for the very popular stuff when you get to something that's like 3 hours long they wind up making all kinds of excuses about it

The whole thing that Bethesda games do that no other game seems to is that the primary storyline is just another quest you can start or completely ignore at your leisure. There's no such thing as a side quest or a main quest, really. But the original video makes it clear that his point is not "You need to play for 130 hours before it gets good" but rather the completely opposite "You can spend 80 hours doing whatever you want before you even start the main quest if you want, and then another 50 on the main quest if you want".

https://twitter.com/TheRealDfea/status/1694764247492792683

The quote about "doesn't really get going until you finish the main quest" sounds more like he's trying to say that the main quest is impactful without saying anything about it because it's spoilery. It also looks like he kind of regretted saying it the second it came out of his mouth. Maybe the Kotaku headlines were flashing before his eyes.

The campaigns are usually fine until the endings when you blow something up and cut out access to certain factions or content.

Agreed. Not length though. You can have perfectly epic experiences around the 100 minute mark. No-one in the movie industry says "this movie is really long" as a selling point. Only seems to be games that specifically tout length of completion time as a positive.

There are cases where I can see this makes sense like Vampire Survivors or Slay the Spire or Counterstrike; "you will put in thousands of hours but you will enjoy the short run each time" , but RPGs?

Maybe it's just me but when I see studios say this is a 150hr+ narrative experience, I don't feel hyped. ESPECIALLY if it's Bethesda saying it.

Actually, I take it back. If Starfield has the same quality of buggy insanity Oblivion did then I actually hope it's a 400 hour game. I want to see characters swimming through the sky, repeating dialogue to trees etc.

Their games aren't any more buggy than any other open world game. It is just more noticeable due to what the engine they use does. Have lots of small bits with their own physics is going to cause funny stuff.

the problem is that once you allow access to level 13 you allow access to 7th level spells which includes poo poo like Teleport, Plane Shift, Mordenkainen's Magnificent Mansion, Mirage Arcane and Reverse Gravity and understandably the devs looked at the spell list and said "no"

"Wish" just opens up a command line window in the game that all the characters stare at like they're seeing a biblically-accurate angel

BGS games had the deserved reputation of being buggy but now the entire AAA industry is that way, so they don't have to do anything different to be at an equal level

that said, it's a space game made in an engine that wasn't designed for outer space so i'm sure it'll have some craziness in it, but probably nothing on the level of what i've heard about star citizen
