Kennysplash Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I can have a really short attention span, especially for the single player games. I can play for minutes intermittently than sit down for hours. This mostly makes me opt for the shorter games, that I can finish in half an hour at most. But I can come back some hours later and pick up another. Would you rather play long hours at a stretch or intermittently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagger Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) Quality over quantity. I understand the idea of feeling ripped off by a game because it lacks content, especially for a single player, but judging the quality of a game by it's length is a ludicrous trend. I would rather have a few hours of engaging, interesting content that has an impact over 60 hours of grind and pointless padding.

killamch89 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 The quality of the game matters more to me than the length. As long as the pacing is okay and it doesn't feel rushed, I'll enjoy it regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowHammerYou Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Generally I prefer 40 hours or less for an RPG, and 12 hours or less for anything else. If I spend 100+ hours on a game I want it to be because I enjoy the game and played it multiple times, not because the devs didn't know how to trim pointless fluff out of the game.

JennyorAlice Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Well, I figure that if you play a longer game then you get more of your money's worth. With games costing at least $50 or $60 these days, who wants to play a game that's not going to last that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 I don't look for how long a game is but more what the quality if is of the game. If the game is somewhat short but it was great quality, then I am happy but if it ends up being low quality and a really long game, I find I can't stay as interested.

I completely agree with you on this. Quality over quantity is what really matters when it comes to games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 I prefer playing intermittently! Short bursts keep me engaged, allowing me to savor each moment without feeling overwhelmed or fatigued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
