You can always wait for a sale and I agree but 3 or even 5 hours for full price is pretty fucked up. That's three times the price of a film. There used to be a sweet spot of 8-12 hours for linear games for full price and then you'd get MP tacked on. Idk what happened to those days. 

3 to 5 hours you can play over and over and have a blast.

Golden Axe is about an hour long, we played that together for months! And it wasn't difficult either, just pure fun. (Difficult as in you can hit each other, which made it that much more fun!)

Xenon 2 the same, just an hour from start to finish without doing optional stuff. It was a blast to play through that once a week.

Prince of Persia 1989, 2 hours. But so fun to replay.

Now we have The Last of Us at 15 hours which was pushing it, Part 2 is 20 to 30 hours. It's just too long. I paused my second play through, got fatigued from all the corridors. Same with GoW Ragnarok (20-60 hours), haven't picked that back up yet and probably won't.

This "hours for full price" ruined gaming!

Shorter games are more fun to replay and have a much lower threshold to replay.
