Cool, I clearly was not talking about an mmo. I mean a single player story game. Dodge all you want, what I wanted to find out is whether or not you actually think "Feedback about a game being "too long" should not be considered at all. " or not. pretty obvious that was pointless and so is this discussion though. Hope you enjoy the game even without those extra 10 or so hours in the main story line. Im sure you will.
How does wow not qualify as a single player game ? I played it solo for years .
From last post
"Don't forget they are paying $15 a month to play a game that is $180 dollars a year.
With your example the player is getting 3600 hours of playtime for what $60 -70 and it takes them multiple years to finish it .
The value grows even bigger.
I think that is not only completely reasonable I Disagree " no one would play it" as the above average hours on wow example would indicate. "
I also disagreed with one of your main statements earlier in another post .
"So sure, it's there to boot up again. But now I have other games I both have started since and are now waiting for. And for most gaming isn't something they decide to or can devote all there time to. You have to make a choice in what to play. And now I'm more interested in playing either the new thing or just something else I am now more in to. "
Also you stated.
"You have to make a choice in what to play "
If a game takes you a year to complete and you CHOOSE to play another game that is personal choice that has nothing to do with the game
also again to quote MAXX VOLTAGE
Really this type of game should be made with as much story based content ( Story > combat ) as budget and time will allow with absolutely no regard to "length" again since it does not mater. the game is not going anywhere. It may take some 1 month to finish it may take another 6 months to finish and it may even take someone 1 year to finish or more.
In my mind a game that tries to shorten a game that already has no time limit to make the 6moth or 1 year shorter because they simply don't want to put in the time necessary just plain wrong .
