Great thread Reim, lots of good points in there.

And the answer is that a game may be as long as it wants, so long as it is handled correctly. By that I mean so long as the content and the gameplay is not only sufficient for such a Length, but that the story and locations support it the whole time.

If you're just doing the same thing over and over and it's more a chore than a game, then there's little point in playing it for that long. But if it's done well that it really engages me, then it's possible but unlikely to hit 300 hours. Perhaps 100 hours but 3x more focused would be better in most cases.

Thanks! A lot of play hours can also come from sandbox digging, and also from limited exploration outside of questing. Other than that you would have to rely on an addictive levelling/grinding system to reach those high numbers
