This pissed me off enough that I quit playing during the third "act". 'oh hey, finally here's some meaningful character development in act 2... actually, nevermind lol we want to pad the game for another dozen hours or so and don't want to build new assets'
Bad Video games are too long, good video games are too short. Him simply saying that video games are too long means that he acknowledges that modern video games are shit, he's just too cowardly to say that.
For 100% there's no such thing as too long if the game itself is fun enough to make you want to do so but main campaign should absolutely be 10 hours or less.
He's right. Games that are pointlessly long because they shove in a bunch of pointless and unfun busywork, and fill the world with ubisoft towers aren't suddenly great for being long.
You should be able to replay a game at least once a day if it's that good.
There aren't over 36 hours in a day so it's bad to be 18 hours long.
Also, everyone know this is true because people don't play Monopoly with the real rules for a reason and it's because it's meant to go on stupidly long if you don't institute house rules to stop it.
Depends on the game, nobody wants a survival horror game to be 30+ hours, consider how much Alien Isolation overstays its welcome compared to a Resident Evil game.
RPG: 30h main quest(s), 50h with side content
Linear: 10-20h
Witcher 3 fricking drags on and on and on and on, as much as I like it replaying it is annoying
i can sit and binge a movie in a couple hours
i can sit and binge the entirety of the lotr movies in a single evening
i can binge an entire season of a tv show in one day but a single video game with inferior writing where im actively mixing gameplay with that story? oh that’ll be a couple week log commitment. good luck remembering all that shit AND remaining interested to the end AND not getting burned out by the same mechanics for 60 hours
A 30+ hour long gaming experience should be rare and reserved for the rare titles like rdr2. not every single open world slop.
He's right though. Worst part is people drool over 200 hours long games such as Witcher 3, AssCreed RPGs, Elden Shit, BotW etc. I personally hate them and I doubt I will ever bring myself to finish a game like that again.
I've been playing it finally and doing all the side shit so I'm well past 100 hours now but I'm pretty sure if I just did the main shit I'd have been done long ago.
Unnecessary side quests aren't part of main campaign length which is the true length of a game. Anything you don't have to do to roll credits isn't part of the game length.
>didn't read the rest of the post
Gen 1 Pokémon is easily completed in about an hour per badge AKA 8 hours while completing the dex is going to take more like 20 hours. By your logic Gen 1 Pokémon is now a 20 hour game and you know damn well it's not.
Nothing forces you to complete the dex so that is not part of the game length. Side shit doesn't matter.
It's true. I wish we could go back to where you had a decent pick of different game lengths. Now every fricking game from AAA to the most poorgay indie shit is all 100s of hours of grinding and slogging through shit. There's just so many games I have had to shelve recently because I just don't have the fricking time for every game being 50 plus hours just for the main shit. It genuinely sucks and is robbing every bit of joy I get from this stupid hobby.
yeah because publicly acting like you’re the next hitler is really going to win you those votes
stupid ass troony still mad Trump took away your rights to govt paid wiener removal
The problem isn't that games are too long it's that every game now wants to be the ONLY game you play. Not every single game needs to have a battle pass. Why does every single game now need to have seasons?
The only truth shown here is that schrier is a homosexual moron who hates the medium and is just in it for a "career" cause no one would hire him to do anything else.
Video games are too short, every late 90s jrpg had more fricking content and length than just about anything that comes out today, running around climbing towers to reveal pointless "sidequests" that are just mmo quests that reward 300 gold are not content.
he's right
most games don't respect your time
but most gamers don't respect their own time either
having that fact even implicitly pointed out causes much pain, hence the pathetic reeeeeing itt
Nah, reviewers are gays who no longer think like a regular gamer. They *need* games to be shorter, so they can review more in less time.
Jason Schreier has been a gay forever.
It took me forever to reach Act 3 and the moment i was gonna reach it by beating ketheric, he teleported away and had to spend another few hours playing
then when i was about to enter act 3, got flanked by fricking frog people because i went against the queen
then when i entered act 3, i had to watch multiple cutscenes and forced into a battle before even getting to move my character in act 3
its just fricking too much. The game is giving me fatigue and im getting so fricking bored and i havent even made it to baldurs gate where it does get overwhelming with content. Id rather have a shorter game if it gave me more meaningful choices instead of railroading you for hours
>"video games are too long!" >"video games should cost more!"
lmoa imagine saying people should pay $100 for a 2 hour long movie because you're such a paid shill for AAA publishers
There needs to be a "respect my time" mode to modern games. The average age of gamers is getting higher every year.
People can't just put in 100+ hours into every title like they did when they used to.
Have a mode that cuts out all grind and time wasting bullshit, and leave normal mode for people who want to play it normally.
I want longer games with realistic graphics made by people who are paid less to work more and i'm not kidding
>realistic graphics
That’s gonna be a “gross” from me chief
Realistic graphics eat up budget, storage space, bloat the system requirements and actually look uglier than a good artstyle and soulless.
just say you're cringe next time instead
fpbp
If a game doesn't have at least a 1hr/$ of good content (excluding time wasting collectibles) I'm not buying.
>Nose too big
Hat too small.
Jason Schreier is a israelite.
sometimes they are. dragon quest 11 has no reason to be 50 hours. it's just dragging at that point.
>Jrpgshit is shit
OH NO!
This pissed me off enough that I quit playing during the third "act". 'oh hey, finally here's some meaningful character development in act 2... actually, nevermind lol we want to pad the game for another dozen hours or so and don't want to build new assets'
Bad Video games are too long, good video games are too short. Him simply saying that video games are too long means that he acknowledges that modern video games are shit, he's just too cowardly to say that.
Red Dead 2 was a great video game and it was a bit too long.
Western muh reality shite is not a good game. Such mechanics immediately make it movieshit.
Nah it's excellent, shut up. RDR2 has tons of interactivity
>RDR2 has tons of transeractivity
FTFY sista
The Cosby room thing that Xittergays have been crying about make flat earthers seam reasonable
This homosexual again? Someone post the one where he encourages killing goys. I hope no one takes this moronic clown seriously.
Depends upon what he means by that.
For 100% there's no such thing as too long if the game itself is fun enough to make you want to do so but main campaign should absolutely be 10 hours or less.
just like his nose
I hate that fricking moron. Videogame journalism was a mistake.
shut the frick up, casual.
>MOM LOOK I POSTED IT AGAIN
jannies are Black folk
Why do ~~*they*~~ constantly push bad and subversive ideas in literally every single subject matter?
>Jannies when you criticize God's chosen people
He's right. Games that are pointlessly long because they shove in a bunch of pointless and unfun busywork, and fill the world with ubisoft towers aren't suddenly great for being long.
I’m 200h into tactics ogre reborn. I had no idea this old game was so expansive. Its great.
Just in the way the hours are distributed
It should be 10 different playthroughs of 2 hours instead of a single playthrough of 20 hours
You will pay $100 for a 3 hours video game soon enough.
And you will be happy.
In what way are three 6 hour games superior to one 18 hour game?
It's the quality that matters, not the length.
You should be able to replay a game at least once a day if it's that good.
There aren't over 36 hours in a day so it's bad to be 18 hours long.
Also, everyone know this is true because people don't play Monopoly with the real rules for a reason and it's because it's meant to go on stupidly long if you don't institute house rules to stop it.
The audacity of you newbies trying to claim this shit
so is his lifespan
yeah hopefully this rotten israelite is dead soon, im tired of his ugly face
>anime sight
>sight
lmao, how brown is your skin you ugly third world spic
What is the right length for a videogame?
Mine is 70 to 80 hours.
Depends on the game, nobody wants a survival horror game to be 30+ hours, consider how much Alien Isolation overstays its welcome compared to a Resident Evil game.
Then 10 hr games should be 10 dollars, 20 to 30 hr games should be 30 dollars, and 40 and above hr games should be 50 dollars.
Money spent and time played have no correlation.
You don't spend 30 hours in a theater. You don't spend 5 hours eating a sandwich. Stop being moronic.
you're an idiot and a fricking commie.
66 hours
>main campaign
10 hours or less.
>side/post game
No limit.
Depends on the genre
>Open world
20-30 hours, 50-60 with side content
>Linear
7-15 hours
RPG: 30h main quest(s), 50h with side content
Linear: 10-20h
Witcher 3 fricking drags on and on and on and on, as much as I like it replaying it is annoying
I ignore most major releases and even I have difficulty getting through my backlog, I hate this israelite but he's right
i can sit and binge a movie in a couple hours
i can sit and binge the entirety of the lotr movies in a single evening
i can binge an entire season of a tv show in one day but a single video game with inferior writing where im actively mixing gameplay with that story? oh that’ll be a couple week log commitment. good luck remembering all that shit AND remaining interested to the end AND not getting burned out by the same mechanics for 60 hours

please keep ethnicity discussion on /misc/
Please stop being a b***h, anon.
frick off jidf
~~**~~ we SEE you, you aren't fooling anyone anymore../..
if anything they are too short, 10hrs for 70 bucks?! get outta here
A game I love can never be too long.
He's right though. Worst part is people drool over 200 hours long games such as Witcher 3, AssCreed RPGs, Elden Shit, BotW etc. I personally hate them and I doubt I will ever bring myself to finish a game like that again.
Is the Witcher 3 even 200 hours?
I've been playing it finally and doing all the side shit so I'm well past 100 hours now but I'm pretty sure if I just did the main shit I'd have been done long ago.
Unnecessary side quests aren't part of main campaign length which is the true length of a game. Anything you don't have to do to roll credits isn't part of the game length.
>Is the Witcher 3 even 200 hours?
Yes, with all the side content and DLCs.

I agree. A games story/campaign shouldn't be longer than 20 hours,

gas yourself OP, if you want 70 sheckels you better make a long quality game with no troony devs
gas yourself too
yeah because publicly acting like you’re the next hitler is really going to win you those votes
stupid ass troony still mad Trump took away your rights to govt paid wiener removal
What does he care? It's not like he plays them.
The sign of a great game is that I beat it and immediately want to play through all of it again.
The problem isn't that games are too long it's that every game now wants to be the ONLY game you play. Not every single game needs to have a battle pass. Why does every single game now need to have seasons?
Dab on ‘em, Jason!
video games are too short
>tfw spent 40 hours on stranger of paradise and felt like i got ripped off
>i bought it for 20$ too
shut up homosexual
He's right you know
The only truth shown here is that schrier is a homosexual moron who hates the medium and is just in it for a "career" cause no one would hire him to do anything else.

Daily reminder this is what Jason sounds like and is why he rarely ever talks

watch the first 2 minutes
Yes, Kotaku is gay. Nothing new
Here's another 4 words:
Jews are too rich.
Jason Shreier ate my foreskin.
I just can't stand quiet anymore...
Jason Schreier is too alive
he's right
most games don't respect your time
but most gamers don't respect their own time either
having that fact even implicitly pointed out causes much pain, hence the pathetic reeeeeing itt
Persona games are too long
the greatest games of all time are below 20 hours. any longer and the devs are just sucking themselves off
zoomers agreeing with him ITT
Nah, reviewers are gays who no longer think like a regular gamer. They *need* games to be shorter, so they can review more in less time.
Jason Schreier has been a gay forever.
So is my dick but you don't hear me complaining.
middle-aged israeli journos aren't the target audience. Find a new hobby/career, and leave the game-playing to people who actually like playing games
Baldurs Gate 3 is making me now agree with this
It took me forever to reach Act 3 and the moment i was gonna reach it by beating ketheric, he teleported away and had to spend another few hours playing
then when i was about to enter act 3, got flanked by fricking frog people because i went against the queen
then when i entered act 3, i had to watch multiple cutscenes and forced into a battle before even getting to move my character in act 3

>"video games should cost more!"

Anything above 10 hours is a waste of time.
game I like = too short
game I dislike = too long
Don't complain about long games, complain about bad games.
vs
Fill the games with pointless busywork for maximum ""retention""
yeah yeah video games should be shorter and cost more, we get it, you're a subversive israelite
>video games are too long
No, we are simply too short.
There needs to be a "respect my time" mode to modern games. The average age of gamers is getting higher every year.
