What's the optimal length of a game for it to not overstay it's welcome?
>>7245513295-11 hours.
>>7245513296-7
>>7245513293-5 hours
>>724551329What was his name again?
>>724551329It depends on the game type and design.
>>72455132940+ hours or I'm not buying it.
>>724551329100-300 hours
>>72455132960 hours of the same gameplay loop. If it's more than that I lose interest. If gameplay loop parts inside the game vary deeply, it can be longer. E.g. in Fallout 4 exploring, shootin-lootin on already visited locations and building a base are quite distinct activities.
he had a trump induced mental breakdown on twitter the other day, seemedlike he was years late to that party
>>72455132910 hours is perfect.Yes, even for RPG's.
>>72455132910-20 hours. I miss being able to beat games a few weekend sessions.
>>724551674Macho Cuatro.
>>724551329I don't actually care but please don't make me fight the same enemy / building / etc. again and again but with a different hat and color tint. That's a sign you ran out of content and need to let it end.

>>72455132910 hours for main content you can add as much as you want in side contentand note I mean side, don't do ubisoft shit where side quests are mandatory
>>724552760>OP is the ESLI know.
>>724551329Depends on the kind of experience you like, but for the type of games I play - story-driven games with a unique setting or mechanics - around 18-20 hours. But my own ideal length is slightly shorter at 12 or so hours, and I don't mine 3-hour or even shorter experiences at all. t. never watches anime with more than 13 episodes

>>724552353>>724552760Do you really care about a apostrophe? You could really chalk that up to phone posting, honestly. Stupid thing to harp on regardless.

>>724553339Took the bait.>inb4 merely pretendingYou're a projecting ESLfag and it's kind if embarrassing. Native speakers wouldn't care that much about grammar on Mongolian basket weaving forum. Don't get deported, ESLku!
>>724553086I care because it's a very widespread mistake that tends to be accepted as the norm and when that happens, "people" like you pop up and start pretending that being incompetent and/or retarded is normal because the 10 other monkeys beside you all behave the same.
>>724551329It's all about the gameplay loop and narrative pacing. The perfect game is as long as possible for the most well paced narrative and enjoyable gameplay loop.

>>724551329Depend on the game genra.
>>724551329millage may very person to person depend on age bracket.
>>724551329It depends on how engaging the story and the type of genre. I've played games that kept me engaged for over a 100 hours while others barely have me for 10.
>>724551329Just put the game down. It won't be going anywhere.
If it's repetitive gameplay then 5-25 hoursIf the gameplay evolves over time you can get away with 60 hours average.If the story is very strong as well then you can push 100 hours
>>724551329Why is he so mad though?
>>724551329Action / Adventure / Platformer - 5-10 hoursRPG / Strategy / Sim / Manager - 15-20 hours
It depends on the type of game. If its a action/shooter type of game I would expect it to be 12-18 hours at most. If it is an RPG then I would expect it to be at least 30 hours long.
silent hill 2 remake is what i consider overstayed welcome. because it wasn't ff7 remake everyone suddenly had amnesia into not hating hallway simulator of smacking the same enemies again and again
>>724551674Outraged Osvaldo
>>724551329When it comes to lenght customers are more likely to criticise excellent but short games than mediocre, bloated slop. Replayability is irrelevant because almost nobody replays games these days.
>>724551674Choleric Camilo
>>724555878>billions in taxesThis nigga serious?
>>724551329Depends on the game's genre.You wouldn't want a platformer with the length of a JRPG.

>>724557419Alex OJ show when
>>724557419Alex - pretty cool guy with great insightsOJ - discount AlexJoe - dumb retard
>>724551329At least 500+ hours.
>>724555878Integration is a myth.
>>72455132910-15hrs
>>724551329Depends on the genre. For JRPGs, I require a minimum of 60 hours. Fatigue tends to set in around the the 110+ hour mark depending on the game. The only one in recent memory that exceeded this cap was Xenoblade Chronicles 3, with 154 hours. Barring the exception of RPGs or visual novels, most single player experiences I indulge in barely hit the 30 hour mark. The sweet spot seems to be around 15 - 25 hours. If it is your typical linear third person over the shoulder stealth/shooter or "sad dad" game - that's generally the amount of time it takes for me to get bored. It's similar for horror games as well. Except I am less "bored" and more psychologically drained. Was shocked viewing my old SH3 save and seeing my first playthrough was only 8 hours but it felt like an eternity.
>>724551771I don’t care what game it is or where I am in the game, I’m stopping after 20 hours. And never turning it on again.
>>72455132912 hours is the sweet spot for linear games. Openworld, 120-250 hours.What the fuck is this new captcha?

>>724551329Main contend can be finished in 9-10 hours, 40 hours to do all side content.
>>724551329Depends on the game. 20ish hours is usually pretty safe. 10 hours for action slop.

I've never really played anything I would consider great that had a "main content runtime" of longer than 15 hours.
>>72455132910-12 hourstechnically beatable in one day
>>724551329Less than 20, more than 8 is the sweet spot imo
10-40 hours. Up to 60 for an RPG.
>>724551329FPS? 6-8 hoursMetroidvania? 6 hours or soRPG? 40 hours, you better have some good content if you want to go above that
>>724551329Didn't he just seriously have like a super embarrassing Trump/Halo rant?
30 minutes
Depends. If it has decent gameplay variety and a tight story, it can be as long as the developers want it to be. If it overstays its welcome, it should be shorter.

>>724551329I should be able to finish a game over a weekend. So two afternoon or evening sessions.
>>724551329It's literally the same as the age of an ideal woman. 0-8 is too short. 9-16 is ideal. 17+ is too much.

>>724552735Always felt weird that people cry about videogames being $70 when the amount of hours you get out of it is an order of magnitude higher than movies, where it's like $18 just for the ticket cost of a 2 hour movie.

>>724551674Manuelo the illegal caliente border hopper.
>>724551329Sloppa Sanchez demands more hours.
>>724551329Narrative indie games that aren’t a billion dollars: 10 hours, 20 if the writing is excellent.Narrative A-to-AA (excluding CRPGs): 20 to 30, maybe double that if the writing is perfect and/or it’s a strategy thing where fights take a long time. CRPGs and Narrative AAA: if I hit 100 hours excluding DLC in a non-completionist playthrough and it isn’t done I get annoyed by the bloat. I got annoyed by BG3 for this reason. Add 20-30hours per DLC and 10 hours if there’s a very good minigame somewhere (good enough to be a standalone indie game). Witcher 3 was 155 for me including both DLCs and gwentmaxxing and I didn’t get sick of it at all. That said I have next to nothing interest in any game longer than 20 hours at this point in life. Make your point, tell your story and fuck off. I’m not trying to replace my life.

Anywhere from 12 to 50 hours
