Why a 6-10 hour game is sufficient

[MaxwellGT2000]

No... NO... and more NO....

6 hours isn't sufficient when games aren't artifically lengthened and 6 hours is just getting started, its that it is 6 hours and often split up between 3 games that would make an 18 hour game, which was the standard for last gen and you got it all in one package.

Some of the best games are indeed not that long but most of the ones you beat in that short time span are also all about replaying them and that was the very concept of a game... a story based game that has one set story and no different ways to play though it... and it's only 6 hours?  No that's not worth 60 dollars by any means.  Which is why I'm more fine with paying for fighting games on PS3 and 360 when they're 60 before other games on PS3 and 360 cause often times there's no reply value at all, they want me to buy the next game, there's a tacked on crappy online multiplayer, and they don't give me local multiplayer... 

I don't care how anyone tries to justify it, the only way it's justified is when the game is designed to be something you play over and over like Nine Hours Nine Persons Nine Doors.
