Yes. I don't have time to collect 900 korok seeds in every game.
I don't really want to pay $60 for something under 10 hours.
12-15 is a good length for an action adventure game though.
If they have the price to match. I'm not paying $60 for a 10 hour game.
Sure, if it was priced accordingly.
Though personally I'll wait til it's on sale for $10-$15.
Wut? When? When I think of linear single player game I think of Uncharted 2, Gears etc. Those games have always been $60.That's fair, most of the older linear single player games were in that price range and of very high quality.
God of War was 20 hours, it was twice as long as the older GoW games, I wouldn't mind a 10 hour game again.Not really. At least I'm not paying full-price for them.
I want more games like Sekiro (49h first playthrough) and God of War (~40h 1st playthrough maybe? I did everything besides the crows and collectibles), which offer incredible amounts of great content without being open-world games full of padding shit and checklist types of activities.
I was using a well known, exaggerated example to illustrate open world gameplay.
i mean I could also say people equate short linear scripted experiences with minimal player agency to qualityUnfortunately people equate a games length with its value. So a 200 hour collectathon is worth more than a tightly crafted more liner 8 hour experience.
I have been playing games regularly since somewhere in the start 80'ies. Current state of gaming is slowly killing my will to play games.
Single-player is mostly open world now and has gotten so formulaic that I no longer want to play a good part of them.
GaaS is slowly murdering another big part of them.
I have been moving slowly to more and more console gaming, since it still has some exclusives that I love, and even though Spider-Man and God of War (Horizon and many others) still suffer from the open world syndrome, they at least still provide solid stories and don't lock my story progress behind having to do a bunch of annoying shit to unlock new areas.
I would *LOVE* more linear experiences with all of my heart.
