Borderlands 2 was def a multiplayer game with a single player mode included
I think 10-20 hours is a bit short. my sweet spot is 40-60 hours. Past that, I start feeling pretty burned out, and just want a change of scenery. Elaborate and worthwhile minigames within long games can help alleviate this problem for me. Triple Triad is one example.
Depends on the game, I think. I've clocked up many hundreds of hours in Skyrim and, to a lesser extent, Oblivion, and both games continue offering something new to see, try or explore. The vastness of the game world is part of the appeal, and it rewards the time invested in it.
Sometimes, though, a shorter journey can be equally rewarding, only in a different way. The Last of Us is a good example. It takes handful of hours to complete, at most, but the journey is so engaging, yet draining and harrowing that dragging it on longer would be borderline torturous.
A lot of it comes down replayability. Even a 'short' game can turn into something a lot longer if you keep coming back to it again. If each playthrough only takes a few hours, you might simply not notice when your total playtime is into the dozens, or even hundreds of hours. I'm looking at you, Tekken and Metal Gear Solid series, among others.
I like very large open-world games, or shorter linear games.
Hey, play that Breath of Death game I gave you, it is only 5 or 6 hours long!
Games can take a long time to complete! I was around 7ish when I first started trying to play FFVII, I did not complete it until I was about 10 or 11. So that's around 26297 hours!
But I don't agree, those hours were worth it! :greenie:
It's quickly bubbling up the queue.Quote:
