Most games, no. Some games, Yes. Most games i would not even pay $10 for. Hell, 90% of games i would not even play if they were free, Mass effect, Zelda, MGS4 for instance.

$50-60 is way too high for console games that can be played in 5-8 hours. Anyway, wait for next gen. There are esitimates that developing costs will be 2-4 times higher. I think in that case games should cost $90-100. Question is are there enough fools who buy games in that price.

Very few games are worth the $60 price tag today.

There are some that do warrant it however, games that have either great multiplayer such as Call of Duty, Halo 3, and Killzone 2.

Some have amazing single player that just can't be ignored, such as Bioshock, Fallout 3, and inFamous.

All of those are worth $60 imo.

But for the most part I agree with you, I'm a firm believer that a 6 hour single player is nearly unforgiveable when thinking the game costs 50 or 60 dollars (with a few exceptions most being fighting games) and sadly that's about the average game length now, I'm old school where games at least lasted you 15 hours if it was good much longer then that.  Hell beat em up games used to be hard, and when you either A couldn't beat it or B wanted someone else to join in the pain/fun you'd co op, now they're generally 6 hour borefests with cenematics and boss battles that are just push overs.

It's a sad thing I say.  Which is why I refuse to pay 60 dollars for any game to this day I've lived up to it.

Hopefully people finally get tired of being had by the game companies, I know they need money but making a hype train for every game that is the "next big thing" to get millions of sales for a 6 hour game that people will beat and be ready for the next game the very next week.

A lot of games seem to fall in price so quickly now that I think I have to say most games aren't really worth $50-60 unless you really have to have it day one, because if you wait a couple month you can probably land a deal to get it for $20-30 less.

I really only get fighting games and non-Western RPGs so usually I get my money's worth. I mean, I probably get at least an hour worth of gaming for each dollar I spend on a game and that's usually more than worth it.

I don't think that games should even cost 50$ anymore (especially the single player games). These games are around what 8 hours or less? I just can't believe how low games have gotten this gen. There are only a few single player games that are actually worth their price tag (Fire Emblem radiant dawn: first play through was about 40 hours long for me cuz i loved the story). Metroid Prime 3 was around 15 hours-ish which isnt too bad. I cant think of anything else atm but my god how short games have become. Not mention how easy they have become as well...

No. Very few are, actually.

some games are worth the $50-$60 price tag, but some games like madworld (mad world's awesome, but it's short) and halo wars aren't unless they are like $30-$40

Consider how long it took for games to go from $50.00 to $60.00 with all of the production costs going up so much more than in years past. I can live with a $10.00 price increase.

Genre has nothing to do with what I'm willing to pay for a game, nor does potential hours played. I care more about quality of experience.

Shadow of the Colossus is worth more to me than any RPG on the planet except for one, and I can't imagine equating length to value.
