The game must be at least one of those - RPG, sandbox or competitive.

Price isn't relevant, quality is.
I can easily afford to buy a bag of shit for 5 bucks, but it's still a bag of shit.
A game should feel like the time you spent on it was well spent and enjoyable. I'd rather pay 40$ for a great 20h game than a 20$ 40h game that was mediocre and felt padded.

You guys are making an entirely different argument.
I'm just curious about the people who are arguing that the development time should correlate with the length of the game

>>
>>719871667
The 7 year dev time is more damning in terms of the lack of improvements to the core game from HK to Silksong. 7 years and all the same countless problems remain, while introducing new ones.
Then you look at other games like Ender Lilies to Magnolia and Blasphemous 1 to 2 and see the big improvements from each, while each taking much less time to develop.

It makes you question what they did for all those 7 years. It wasn't spent on making a big game or making relevant improvements. So did they just twiddle their thumbs, fuck around and then slap something together these last 2 years.

Silksong is designed wrong though. It's unfun torture with sponge enemies and endless backtracking.
>>
>>719872105
The team was not 3 people. Same way Disco Elysium and Darkest Dungeon dev teams weren't just 2 people.
These were just the core non-contractors.
You most definately wouldn't need 7 years to make Silksong either when it's so similar to HK, so you could re-use tons of assets, code and save time on not needing to prototype and test designs.

It's way more likely they either barely worked on Silksong during that time or fucked around trying different stuff that didn't work and they fell back on just copypasting HK instead just to get the game out.

Even if it was 16h if you were not rushing everything, it feels fair for 20€

Imagine if people continued to accept long dev times, the goal posts keep moving further away what we will tolerate. People like you accepting almost a decade to make a game like this, makes me counting down the days AI gets good enough to replace the whole system.

I swear more people accept more shit every year. Longer time to release, more bugs on release, worse than early games. It's like people memory holed the 360 era and earlier. It's so bad now the gaming population calls DLC new games.

I feel like gaming fans have been brainwashed over the years. Oh well in 7 years, 2032 Silksong releasing a new game will be fine. Who cares it's 10 hours and ranks worst in the series!

with the 7 year wait i was expecting some crazy big game like elden ring or a surprise second half map like sotn. but no. no. its just that same game again. same size and all. i guess since it was made by them 3 people. these retards really did sit around for 7 years adding all these scrolling layers to every room by themselves instead of hiring a few chinks or pajeets to expedite the process
>>
>>719874653
we've been cooked years ago...
for example: The Resident Evil 3 remake had sold 9.9 million copies... It takes from 4 to 9 hours to finish. Some people paid from $40 to $60 for that slop, others speedrun the game just so they'd get a steam refund... At least in this case it's a AA game which costs $20 and surely it'd go lower..
>>
>>719864861
The achievement for speedrunning 100% completion is for doing it in under 40 hours, so realistically that’s probably closer to the average for a normal person taking their time and doing most of the content in the game.

>>719875467
bugs mostly mindless. they believe in higher beings here and there.
big worms like to make bugs worship them and build societies.
big worm dies and leaves behind egg which spawns Pale King.
Pale King OP, gives bugs intelligence. One forgotten Moth deity mad cause forgotten. Moth spreads infection to bugs via dreams.
King tries to find a way to contain Moth. Finds area that contain Void (entity). Finds bimbo Queen with high libido and spawns countless of vessels imbued with void.
One of them becomes the Hollow Knight, taken by the King and trained to become Moth's vessel the other one is you. HK wasn't succesful and infection starts leaking.
Sometime PK dies to pressumably to Void.

Anything over 10 is bloatmaxxed faggotry. Quantity is anti quality. The best games of all time can be beaten in under 2 hours by normal skillful play. Most shitty long games are just disrespectful to the player's time. I can count on one hand the number of games that deserve to be played for longer than 30 hours.
>>
>>719878890
There are so many games you can finish in under 6 hours but if a game has a very nice atmosphere and that it doesn't feel like a chore to play, I'm gonna take more than 6 hours to finish it. The important part is how fun the game is throughout these hours, anyone would take a 500 hour game if it was fun from start to finish.
The problem is that games are made with super long tedious tasks in mind, extra side quests to make you feel like the game is larger than it should be.
Look chuddy, you've got 120 hours of game for $70! You would be DUMB to not take advantage of such a deal! Then you realize it's a hostage situation and you're never getting your money back.
