Forums - Gaming Discussion - Who here would pay $70+ for 3-5 hours of game play?

I can't justify a $60 purchase on a ten hour game. I take everything into account, of course....If I plan on spending at least 40 hours with a game (multiplayer etc. included), I can buy it at full price. Otherwise, I'll wait for a used copy under 20 bucks, or rent it.

 

There are many good developers who deliver a real gaming experience.  I support them.  I do not support 10 or less hours of fancy graphics.

Why not? Street Fighter 2 was, afterall, only a 20 minute game, and I paid probably the equivalent of 100-150$ USD multiple times for multiple versions of it back in the SNES era.

Resident Evil 1 and 2 couldn't have been more than 2-4 hours long.

Most NES games were not more than 2-3 hours long.

If the game is good, I will buy it. What the question fails to understand is that shorter games generally have LOTS of replayability. I would sooner pay full price for a good replayable short game, than a long game I would only want to play once.


3-5 hours refers to how long you play it total, before you are done with it.  A game from start to end could be short, but be able to be replayed a lot.  One could, for example, play a game of chess in under one half hour, but not be done for it in a lifetime.



I've bought 1$ iphone rpgs that I've played for over 10 hours... O boy console gaming will be dead at least for me.



I would embrace every hack I can find and turn to piracy. I hate games shorter than 10 hours. I can manage 8 hours for games with an excellent replay value or lots of other modes. Just another reason I love Zelda, Mario and Metroid. They're always long.

I can't wait for AI to match the intelligence and unpredictability of actual humans. Then I'll never need to go online again.



Well....I don't think games will become 3-5 hours long.

Almost every game that is

Almost no games were worth $50, no game was wroth $60, not a single one. THerefore No game will be worth $70.
