All games should be 5 hours or less

[DougoMan]

With two gazillion great games out, it's impossible to play them all.

Wouldn't it be nice if they just put all of their effort into making super duper high quality 5 to 10 hour games? Then we could play them all!

 

[Veliko]

No.

No.

no

 

[RavenSEAL]

no

Hell no

 

[zebrax2]

NO. They might as well make their game 10$ if they do that

I actually like 10ish, maybe 15ish hour games. So I don't agree with you OP but we're not too far off. I just lose interest these days if it goes much longer than that.

Nothing's stopping you from playing 5-10 hours then just stopping.

 

[roguerower]

Fuck no.

 

[Naeeldar]

NO!!!

 

[Rage187]

All gamers should have an attention span longer than 15 mins.

There are some decent 10-15 hour games, but that doesn't mean that all games should be that short.

To be sure, there is a place for short (~5 hour) games - but they should be priced accordingly!

Somedays I wish I was unemployed. Just 12 hours a day every day, that would make a dent in my backlog of games.

Even when I was unemployed, I didn't have time to play the games I bought. When I sold the Wii, I had 5-6 games that were still shrink wrapped. 🙁

The last 5 COD games were 5 hours or less in SP. MP is a different story. Me, I like long games, especially if they are done well. Not like Fable 3 which was a horror to play and endure.

 

[Dumac]

Another NO from me.

 

[AstroManLuca]

I feel ripped off if I don't get at least 30 hours out of a $60 game. And the sweet spot is more like 50+ hours from a <$20 game. Best gaming value I've ever bought had to have been Fallout New Vegas for $12 from D2D, I got over 100 hours from it.

 

[RPD]

Maybe you should pick up an itouch and game on that..

 

[DaveSimmons]

No. If a game is done well I don't want it to be over in just 5 hours.

Stop telling yourself that you need to play everything right now. Pile up a few unplayed games and use that as a reason to wait for sales on the games that come out after that.

On the PC I've been able to buy games like Borderlands and Torchlight for $5-15. Unless it's an online multiplayer game there is no reason why you need to pay $60 and get a game at release.

[trmiv]

No.

And if they were that short, I would never pay full price for them. The only games I pay full price for are games like Fallout 3, Skyrim, Oblivion, Red Dead Redemption, etc that I know will take me a long time to complete.

Same, I get bored after more than 12 hours or so of the same gameplay.

 

[heavyiron8]

modern warfare campaigns were pretty epic

 

[ChaoZ]

No. But games also shouldn't include repetitive content to increase playing time.
