>$60 game
>less than 30hours to beat
why is this allowed in 2016?
Length only matters if the game is too short or too long for it's own good. Most RPGs would fall flat if they were very short, as they are slow burners. At the same time, I don't want a linear action game to be 30 hours long. I want something I can complete in a day or two, with nothing but high quality levels so it is endlessly replayable.
>>334893323
You think a longer game will somehow entertain you more?
>>334893604
>You think a longer game will somehow entertain you more?
yes if it's good, it will entertain you longer, and thus "more"
>>334893647
Or you can simply replay it.
>>334893323
To be honest, a lot of 20+ hour games are repetitive as fuck.
>>334893323
>2 dollars for entire experience
The fuck are you whining about?
>>334893960
Rude.
>>334893323
>>334894016
No game on my top 10 list is 20 hours long in one playthrough. Except multiplayer games.Love you Quake 3

>>334894390
Okay now this makes me mad.
Before long 100GB games will be the fucking norm. Fuck this 40GB bullshit.
>>334893323
Most AAA games are long as fuck right now, with way too many shitty stretched out missions.
>>334893960
Cool pasta.
>>334893960
Nice pasta
>>334894390
This shit is getting out of hand. GTAV was more than 50GB.

You have to pay hundreds of people to model all those rocks and trees.

I bought Megaman 2 for the NES when it had just come out at a Sears a long time ago,it was $54.99 and that game barely last for more than an hour if you take your time with it and enjoy the scenery
>>334893323
Because consumers have allowed it to happen. That's how it works.

>>334894887
No you didn't.
Sick and tired of faggots lying about how much games cost 30 years ago.
>>334895076
Inflation bra
>>334895076
I don't see Mega Man on that list and one of those games does actually cost $54.95
>>334893323
It's about quality not quantity. My favorite game of all time that I've also replayed the most can be beat in 8-10 hours
>>334893323
>why is this allowed in 2016?
Because you keep buying it, you dumb shit.
>>334895241
Prove it. Until then I'm calling bullshit.
There's only 3 ways you paid more than $50 for a NES game back in the 80's:
>You live in Canada
>You were dumb and didn't value shop (ie, bought your games from Toys R Us where they sold over MSRP)
>You were buying one of the few JRPGs using special cart hardware that increased the cost to +$60
A copy of Megaman 2 for the NES fdid not cost $54.95 back in 1988
>>334893323
i'm gonna go ahead and say that gamers allowed that. just like they/we allowed unfinished games and the whole dlc system, paying for full price for half a game and then keep paying to get the rest of it. pic related
>>334895076
Sorry anon,but it wasn't abnormal for games to cost 60 dollars back then either.Sears was one of the few places where you could buy vidya and their prices seemed to fluctuate wildly.
Look at the image that you posted,how the fuck is Dick Tracy worth as much as Castlevania 3?
>>334895129
>muh inflation
First of all, inflation doesn't retroactively increase the price of games more than you paid 30 years ago.
Second, call me when the average wage rises to match. Until then fuck off with this argument.
We live in an age where the cost of manufacturing has dropped dramatically and games are sold digitially instead of on expensive-to-produce carts. Not to mention all the extra revenue streams from microtransactions, DLC and paid online subscriptions.
>>334895076
Money was worth more then, those games were more expensive than games now.
>>334895745
Why are you lying? It was incredibly rare for games to cost anywhere near $60 back then from fucking Sears of all places. Prices fluctuated because specific stores would sell well over MSRP back then. Even then you would never pay that much unless it was one of those harder to find Japanese titles
>Look at the image that you posted,how the fuck is Dick Tracy worth as much as Castlevania 3?
Why wouldn't it be? Games weren't priced based on quality back then.
>>334895584
Well, even if he didn't, I think the point he's making still works if he paid $40 or $30
>>334895960
>anon claims he paid exact price for a game
>evidence shows otherwise
>YEAH BUT MONEY WAS WORTH MORE!
Oh fuck off.
>>334893323
We need to bring the gameplay back from CHYNA
MAGA
I firmly believe that the greatest games are all beatable in 10 hours or less but have at least 30 hours of side content and infinite replayability.
>>334893323
I don't even feel like playing games that last for more than 20 hours noadays, desu.
>>334896012
not lying,faggot
I can't find a sears catalog with MM2 on there,but trust me when I say that I paid damn near $60 after tax for a copy of Megaman 2
Sears was the only place around that had video games so my options were limited as fuck,price gouging was a thing.
If you had enough time to google the prices that they sold for ,then you probably saw the other shit that Sears was selling at the time.
>>334896748
pretty sure i paid around 40-45$ for my megaman back in the day. this is an estimate though, since i'm not from usa.
just my 2 cents
>>334895076
That's more expensive than today if you take inflation into account brah.
I'd rather have a game that doesnn't overstay its welcome.
Because casuals keep complaining about a game being long
>holy fuck the game is 100 hours
>>334897232
i've never understood why someone would complain about that, that's like complaining you get too much food at a restaurant.
can anyone explain the logic to me?
i'm just assuming there's a logic, i don't understand why anyone would complain without some sort of logic behind it
>>334897334
>that's like complaining you get too much food at a restaurant.
Because some people don't eat like fucking elephants, you fatass
>>334897556
that doesn't really matter, you can always leave food on your plate.
would you complain about getting paid too much as well?
>a game has to be long no matter what
No it has to be the length it's meant to be. If you make it longer then the game noticably drags. I can't think of any platform that takes 30 hours to beat, and why should it?
>>334897782
>you can always leave food on your plate.
In some cultures that's extremely rude.
>>334897852
platformer*
>>334897782
>would you complain about getting paid too much as well?
Did I deserve the money?
>>334897852
i can see it being rude IF you put it on your plate yourself.
in this case however, someone else puts it on your plate and if it's considered rude in that case, the culture has issues.
>>334898098
It's insulting to the chef.
In China though it's the opposite, if you DO finish your whole plate it's insulting because "what, I didn't feel you enough, you pig?" So you're expected to leave a little on your plate regardless.
>>334898196

>>334893323
>more than 20 hours to beat
>any year
Why is this allowed?
I play games for the satisfactory feeling that comes with beating them. I don't understand how people can enjoy long games.
>>334893323
>wanting to grind in the game
kek
>>334893323
>$2 per hour
>implying thats not a good value
Regardless, I'd rather a game be on the short side and interesting the whole way through, than a bit too long and wear out its welcome. Some games are designed to be super replayable, like Elder Scrolls, and thats great. But some are just kind of there for the ride, like Journey, which was super short but absolutely worth it.
>>334898398
Well, if the game is longer then the satisfaction of beating them is greater. It often feels like you went through a long journey.
>Buy a $5 game
>Spend 750 hours in it
>Buy a $60 game
>Spend 40 hours in it
Why is this allowed?
>>334893460
One of the best rpg's i've played in years, Child of light, was only about 10 hours long
>>334898539
But that runs into the problem where the game starts becoming monotonous because it stretches out longer than it needs to.
>>334898597
Are you actually complaining that the better, longer games are cheaper?
>>334898827
No, I'm complaining that the expensive games aren't even longer than that
>>334893323
Because most people don't complete games, so they think it's ok to make shorter ones, because no one will notice.
>>334898891
So dont play the expensive ones, play the cheaper, longer games instead
>>334898761
Well good games are expected to avoid that problem, probably by regularly introducing new mechanics and stuff. All my favorite games are on the shorter side though, so I can't speak from experience.
>>334898987
o-okay
It worked for Chrono Trigger.
>>334894390
Does anyone have the screenshot from Emperor's New Groove where Pacha was literally doing this exact pose?
I swear, fucking meme magic is real.
>>334893323
I will always try to play 1 hour for every 1€ I pay. If I don't play more hours than the cost of the game then I regret buying that product
>>334899157
Here you go man
>>334899157
This one?
>>334894390
finally, something we can agree on.
>>334899435
That's the one. I swear to fucking god.
Length doesn't determine quality.
List your top 10 single player games and their length.
>have to pay bills, alimony, child support to my ex girlfriends son because it was legally agreed that i was his dad
>donate to patreon, kickstarter, feminist blogs, twitch streamers
>have no time or money for video games
How the fuck do you guys do it? How can I budget my time and money better so I can afford full priced, long games? What do you pay/donate to?
>>334899804
No but I'd rather have a 60 hour pretty good game than a 10 hour amazing game
>>334899914
Not him but fuck that, there's plenty of "pretty good" games out there. Amazing games are so rare that of course I'd choose that.
>>334894016
>NFS U2 repetitive
Too young i see.
>>334893604
>>334893647
>>334893930
That's another issue too. Games priced at 60 bux, but aren't worth shit in terms of replay value, like Fallout 4.
>>334894390
NFS 2015
>2GB update
>only for a fucking Nissan GTR that you can't even rice at all
Game and creators couldn't be more of a joke.
>>334895342
Preordering niggers are the worst.
>>334899874
>>have to pay bills, alimony, child support to my ex girlfriends son because it was legally agreed that i was his dad
This is where you fucked up, anon.
>>334893323
Be thankful you weren't gaming in the early/mid 80's when that $60 would have got you about 1 hour
Believeit or not you get better value for your money than you did 20-30 years ago
>>334900541
Speaking of NSF2015, how's the PC version? Is it yet another straight console port, or did they actually justify the three month delay?
>>334900923
Can't speak for the PC port, but i heard it has the same problems as console gameplay. Falling out of the map, textures appearing right when you pass them, cars dropping from the sky lol, AI being retarded etc.. Doesn't really have replay value after reaching level 70, story plot is garbo, and drag racing more of a joke.
Imagine if for every solid hour you had clocked in for a game, you had to pay a dollar.
What game would you owe the most money to?
>$1200 to TF2
>>334898693
Shit taste, arguement invalid
>>334899874
Bait or die
ITT: kids who don't remember $70 SNES games you could beat in under 1 hour.
>>334902281

I dare you play some of those games without prior knowledge or a walkthrough.

>>334902281
>SNES games you could beat in under 1 hour.
What game?
>>334901521
well, back to NFSU2
so a game with no win conditions like sim city has infinite gaming value
