Should I just watch the youtube video? I don't have the 10 dollars to spare.

Odds are good you'll see it on AlphaBetaGamer (without commentary) or ManlyBadassHero's (with commentary, fairly snide) channels if it's a short horror game.

Dont forget these are the people that you are arguing with on this website. Full of opinions and never played the game.

How the hell would it be worth putting RPG mechanics in a game that's 45 minutes long? Anyway if it's on Steam and you're that poor just buy it, play it and refund it, you can refund anything you've played for less than two hours and owned for less than two weeks.

Not zoomer, would do the same.

There's probably some trashy fast progress game out there. Wouldn't surprise me.

Roguelites sometimes do that.

I expect an hour of gameplay for every dollar spent on your game.
Anything less goes yarr matey.

You're why RPGs are padded with tedious bullshit.

fat retard

not my problem I pirated it
>>
>>3657265
no, no, no. That one anon says they pirate games that don't have padding. The other anon took it to mean they'd only buy games with padding and thus says they're the reason games have so much padding.

i'm 35 and i do this. well i don't make threads about it and i do have 10 dollars to spare, but those are the only differences. if the whole game is an hour long, i'm not going to bother getting it. i won't even watch the whole video, i'll watch like 5-10 minutes to get the vibe and then skip to the end. most recently i did this with with "no i'm not human" and "white knuckles"
>bb-buh muh experience
it's a fucking video game. with that extra hour i could go on a walk in the park and listen to an audiobook, or get a better night's sleep
with those extra 10 bucks i can get a sandwich and a bottle of water and a bus ticket to the local mountain.
>b-buh you don't do that
i do actually

that said i do also waste my time on video games. but if i'm going to be wasting my time on videogames, it better be a real fucking video game that has 20-60 hours worth of content, some replayability, or something that's recognizable either as gameplay or a decently well thought out story. mini indie horror games don't have any of those, so if you'll excuse me, i won't be buying or "playing" them
>>
>>3657455
You seem really insecure, treating your hobby like it's a waste of time.
>>
>>3658036
is this supposed to be a counter argument or an insult or a way for you to feel better about yourself
