Finished God of War Ragnarok. Great game. but man it coulda been about 1/3 its length and I woulda loved it a whole lot more.

I know they're aching to give players more bang for their buck and I admire that...but a lot can be said about shorter games. There's a time and place for 100+ hour epics but mostly linear, story based games don't need to be 40-60 hours (when side questing is factored in). It was so exhausting by the end. I was mentally 'done' less than halfway through.

Such a hard topic to bring up, though, because it's VERY hard to argue against more value for your money. But me, personally...shit like this is why I champion shorter games like Portal 2 and the recent Ratchet & Clank game.

Ghost of Tsushima, for as much as I loved it, gave me the same vibe. It coulda been 1/3 the size and length that it was and I felt it would have been a more appropriately tight.

Ironically, both games are Sony exclusives. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

I agree with you. I only have so much time to game and can only play so many longer games in a year. I would rather bigger games be 20-30 hours rather than a game that is 50+ hours that feels like they dragged out the story. Ubisoft is the worst when it comes to stretching out games and adding random side quests that adds nothing to the games.
