    The older and busier I've become, the less I want to sink 300 hours into one single game. Having a child really impacts the time I can spend on something and I've lost all patience for grinding and doing busywork in games for a perceived reward like a skin or unlock. I love when games trim the fat and give me an amazing time all of the time.

      i appreciate games that have a style that makes me want to keep playing - i don't want only that as what every game is, but some infinity services **are** quite appealing to me, and make me want to play them for thousands of hours.
      but yeah, other games are good too - my favorite games **have** been mostly indie or midbudget entries that didn't go forever but i think the style was just as important as the limited length in those titles as to my longterm enjoyment even after i stop playing.
      but sometimes a game just makes me want to play it 'forever', eh? not that anybody has the time to do that, but wanting to because of enjoying the Gameplay that much.

    "Being 4 hours isn't a negative."
    I wish more companies understood this. I will spend money on a game like DOOM 2016, because I know it's going to be a game that is balls to the wall ripping and tearing for a few hours, and then end. Sure, maybe I'll play it again, but maybe not.
    I will not spend money on a game like The Division, or Destiny, because I don't want a time sink. I want a fantastic game. I already have enough time sinks as it is.
    Edit: To clarify, I don't mean I'd rather spend $60 on a 4 hour game, but I'd rather buy an indie/non-AAA game for like

    • @joelmorder9780
      @joelmorder9780 4 года назад +55

      I think it does matter to some degree. Especially if you pay a full 60 dollars for the game. At some point quantity does matter.
      Yes I would rather play a good 4 hour game over an 8 hour one. But if I have only money for one game and my choice is a 10/10 4 hour or 8/10 long game with replayability I’ll pick the longer game. But that’s just me.

      It's not a company thing tho. It's gamer thing. "Game is only X hours" is such a common complaint that I'm not surprised big companies would rather make filler content to stretch gameplay time.
      Even I am guilty of that, despite being conscious that shorter game doesn't mean bad, I often stop myself from buying one because "oh it's so short but so expensive, I rather buy something else".

      Idk if that was your intentions but the fact that manga eventually end is a big difference between American superhero comic and Japanese comic. Since the popular superhero comics are never going to end, none of the characters / story developments really matter in the long run and everything will reset back to a status quo at some point. I used to be a fan of Marvel and DC stuff but now I just couldn't care less.

    "4 hours isn't a negative." After hearing this video in full, yeah I understand your reasoning very much. What matters is the fulfilment I received while playing. RE2 remake isn't that long on a second or third playthrough, but because it hooked me on its' setting, characters, and gameplay(survival horror fan), I got way more longevity out of it than a typical looter shooter, or open-world grind fest. Thanks Ray, you put the words to my thoughts yet again.

    • @cattysplat
      @cattysplat 4 года назад +7

      Enemy encounters and ammo amounts in RE2 can also be seen as somewhat random too, it keeps the moment to moment gaming exciting instead of rote grinding. The hidden dynamic difficulty in play and random zombie health and movement behaviour makes each playthrough and encounter unexpectedly challenging even when you thought you've mastered movement and aiming, the enemies keep surprising you unlike most games where enemy behaviour is quickly learned and exploited in every fight. We're likely going to see even more of this in RE3 with Nemesis being much more unpredictable and aggressive compared to the relatively forgiving Mr X.

    I figure this is a good time to share a personal story, since it's something very much related to this topic.
    Back when I was going through the Trails in the Sky trilogy, I was mesmerized, and when it was over, I was all but done with it. I didn't leave wanting more, but I didn't leave wishing it was over sooner either. I left it wanting to share it, and it became a game for me I dread playing through again on my own, but streamed for others several times. I find the best games, once you're done with them yourself, you still can't help but want to experience it again with others. That the simple act of sharing it with another person and seeing how they react and respond to its highs and lows becomes enough to reinvigorate it entirely. I'll never pick up Trails in the Sky again for myself, but I know I'll make more saves just because I can share it with others who won't buy it for themselves, and that's praise I can't say about very many games. I doubt I'll ever go back to A Link to the Past or Final Fantasy 7 or any number of classic games heralded as greats of their era, but the act of sharing them with others seems to give them a new flavor entirely, as seen with the resurgence of LttP content and hype in the wake of a new way to play it with others.

    It's really a funny feeling that i realised a year ago that the way i "consume" video games is i play a lot of one games and I'm hooked on multiplayer and playing with friends and then completely switch to solo campaigns and don't touch any other games to go back in full force into the multiplayer games.
    And this video made me realise that is is the feeling of acomplishement is different from games that are made to last for years and one that are made to last days
    Thanks for this and keep up the good work

    I may have played the first two Max Payne games a dozen times each. They're such a perfect length, and I finish them ready to go back in again. They never wore out their welcome, and the thought of going back in never left me wondering if they'd cut into something else.
    I like big lengthy games. The Yakuza games are delights, even as huge as they can be. But my favorites are the 'fun afternoon' games. The ones where I say "I haven't played that in awhile" and then the rest of my afternoon is revisiting that old digital friend.

  • @AbbreviatedReviews
    @AbbreviatedReviews 4 года назад +6

    This is one reason I'm into indie and small developer games. Innovation is a requirement because without it, their games wouldn't rise above the overpopulated baseline. They often can't be long because they don't have the means or will to stretch interesting mechanics past the point that they become mundane. I'll always have more fun in a game that wraps up succinctly in less than 10 hours of great gameplay and story than I will a game that drags itself to 30+ without comparable value.
    The issue in mainstream game development is that some publishers now want everything monetized perpetually. Bethesda is particularly egregious as we've seen with recent releases. They expect a game to draw in a long term audience in order to sell them a season pass and microtransactions. Youngblood is the way it is because of that "Gold Bars" purchase option. Had it been better received, it most likely would have gone even further.

    It's great that you covered many different aspects of the market here, including F2P and multiplayer games, because I believe this has a huge impact on game length. The significant mainstream growth of multiplayer - along with massive budgets and player expectations - mean that a lot of these experiences in the last decade are now designed with a particular interest in hooking players long-term. As a result, I think many expect single-player games at the same price-point to occupy an equal measure of their day-to-day lives. That being said, the 'Over X hours' marketing line has been used before games-as-a-service became so prevalant, so perhaps this is a coincidence.
    Also, there have been some absolutely wonderful edits tied with music in both this, and your MW Years Later! It gives me an incentive to go back and watch parts again just to catch certain transitions or effects.

    POP: Sands of Time is barely ten hours in playtime and it is STILL one of the most moving games I've experienced. No NG+ (I think?), no "postgame khantent" that people seem to demand be in every title. You play the game, progress through the levels, then you finish it. Wanna play it again? Go right ahead. Enjoyed your time with it but want to move on? That's fine too.

    Another great video, Raycevick. You never disappoint.
    My take on YOUNGBLOOD was that it's a generally enjoyable fps (I was able to get the game at a duscount at launch). Despite it's notable flaws (specifically those at launch that were soon patched and fixed), it delivered flatout fun gunplay, challenge and the way you were able to upgrade and customize weapons was pretty cool. I thought it was a solid game. I actually enjoyed the Terror Twins' juvenile antics, specifically because they were juveniles themselves, which for the the life of me, I could not understand why people didn't get that.
    People were so up in arms against this game when it released, you'd think Youngblood murdered someone's puppy with the hatred it was receiving, especially when alot of the complaints were downright unreasoanble. The problem I had with Youngblood's detractors was that alot of them hadn't even played the game, yet agreeing with and spreading the false narrative that the game was crap.
    I literally spoke with tons of people in the comment sections of various channels covering the game, and they outright admitted they never touched the game and only watched video reviews if it, yet they were dictating to ME why the game sucked. Those who claimed to have played the game were grossly overexaggerating, or totally blowing out of proportion, the issues the game did have while ignoring or outright denying any of the game's strengths, to the point that it became absurd just talking to them.
    I'm all for shitting on a game if it is indeed packed with bullshit, especially at launch, but I'd never jump on a hate bandwagon against it, not unless I could verify it's shittiness from my own direct experience playing it.

      Really? I haven't seen much of that critique online, and even as such, I very much disagree with it.
      What I'm referring to when discussing agency is direct control. New Order is an experience that is frequently broken up by cutscenes, cinematic setpieces, and HQ Missions. Meanwhile, Old Blood is far more gameplay driven, and the handful of moments control is taken away from the player, it's still all told through BJ's eyes. Facilitated by the teams lower budget, and tighter schedule.

    Not sure if you remember me, but I just had to give you props for this video. Thanks for taking the time to make this stuff, man. I know firsthand how much work it takes.
    Cheers!

    I totally agree with you. This is also why I don't like replaying games or rewatching movies: I want something good to stay in my memory the way I experienced it for the first time.

    thanks for the super bunnyhop video recommendation. I hadn't seen that one and I quite enjoyed his video essay.
