We know that certain games are big, like BG3 or Persona 5. But recently games like FF7 rebirth and Indiana Jones just kept going on and on past "Act 3". Also Rise of the Golden Idol seemed a little short to me

Are developers getting more efficient with generating content?

Dragon Age: Origins. The base game was easily 80+ hours of interesting story and game play. Each DLC added 20-40 hrs a piece. I used to play it a ton.

I don't recommend giving money to EA, though. They have properly shit all over the sequels.

Maybe not the length of the main campaign, but good luck 100%ing Cartherine, holy shit. Nevermind Full Body. There's like 8 endings combined + insane challenges and 64-stage game within the game. +100 hours easy, if not more.

I’m not usually surprised by the length but by the girth.

Miitopia. I wasn't expecting more worlds from such a simple game. I really enjoyed it though.

No matter how much I've played it, I don't think I've ever got past half of the campaign of Sacred.

Now playing Elden Ring and even if I'm just starting out I'm constantly surprised by the amount of stuff in the world, most of which I only discovered the second or third time I visited the area it's in.

GTA IV actually, not even counting the two huge DLCs, just the base game alone.

Hollow Knight. Every time you think you're nearing the end, there's still a lot more. The true ending and optional DLCs add so much.

That Pathfinder Kingmaker was long as hell. Not sure i want to start the sequel until I'm good and ready for another pleasant slog.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

Pleasant slog should be the tagline on every owlcat game.

Love them but they definitely love a long game and a fuck you puzzle here and there.

I just finished it recently as well and also need an break until I start WotR.

I got surprised by DeathStranding.

Did not expect that a game that’s basically about going from A to B through walking could be that lengthy, having great scenery and a weird, vague but good story.

I’m really excited for its sequel, just hoping it will also be available for PC on release.

They already said it's going to be a PS5 exclusive.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Is that correct? Kojima bought full rights to the IP couple of months ago and released Death Stranding on everything immediately. Seems like it’ll be timed exclusive at most.

Honestly, that’s a real bummer. I hope it’s a timed exclusive (so with time it will be on PC too).

I 100% Tunic in 15 hours. I expected it to be longer and harder, considering it's not even in a real language and you have to translate it to solve most of the puzzles.

I never expected A Girl Who Chants Love At the Bound of This World: YUNO on the PC98 to take me like 80 hours to complete without a guide.
