I've logged over 110 hours, which is the most I've played any game since I bought a PS4 on launch day out of 30-40 titles. Most games I buy don't get finished, and some don't even make it out of the first weekend/session of play, so I'm pretty clear on what I feel deserves my game time, and what I feel is wasting it. So the concept of "value" as in dollars to hours of entertainment is completely meaningless to me. On the contrary, spending even 40 hours on a game means I just spent a work week's worth of time on entertainment.

Putting 100 hours into a game doesn't mean that it deserves a 10/10.  The game might just be good enough and have enough content to put an excessive amount of time into, or it might be a great game like MGS5 that just doesn't deserve the rating it got.  Just because people are bashing the 10/10s the game has received and the issues that it has because of that doesn't mean that they're stating it isn't a good or great game, just that this game has massive issues and it doesn't deserve the score it's received. 

I've put over 100 hours into every Yakuza game, White Knight Chronicles 2, Tactics Ogre, Dragon Warrior 7, Dragon's Crown, Persona 4, almost every Final Fantasy, Jump Ultimate Stars, lots of other fighting games and many other games in general.  Whether it was because of multiple playthroughs or across a single save file I've put 100s of hours into many games.  It doesn't make those games 10/10.  They certainly have to be  good games or games I enjoy for me to put that much time into them, but doesn't mean they're 10/10.


I don't give MGS5 a 10/10. There really aren't any perfect games in my book, and that's coming from well over 30 years of playing. 

Granted, that was a lengthy post, but you didn't read it for comprehension. The point was for me to play any game into the triple digits, is a rare anomaly given that I just don't have the patience to waste that much time on a single game. 

For whatever reason, MGS5 has given me more satisfaction than any other game in years despite its flaws.
