Variation.
I can’t play 3 50h open world games after another.
Mix it up with some shorter games and it’s the best of both worlds.

Personally as someone who tends to game in shorter sessions, I like a game I can finish in 8-15 hours vs. a game that takes 20+ hours
But I still like those longer games once in a while

15-20 hours max is good with me

Both. Sometimes I want a 60+how epic and sometimes I want a 10 hour romp

I like both.
I love a game that I can dump a ton of time into and do every little thing on the open world map and spend over a hundred hours playing.
But I also love a smaller curated experience that gives me great story and/or gameplay.

8-12h is great for most games.
18-20 (ish) is perfect for really top end games.
Games that hit 40+ are often just too much for me. I will maybe play one of those year or two.

Longer games, I feel like I get my moneys worth more.
I don’t watch much tv so getting lost in a long big game is much more enjoyable these days

It kinda depends on the vibe I want. I’m more of a multiplayer kind of gamer, so if I want a break from toxic teammates, I’d prefer a longer game like GTAV where there is so much replay and there so much side quests to do to get to 100%
For a short game, I’d have to be willing to commit to it in 1 weekend.
Both are really good but I prefer shorter games just because I can jump from one game to another.

Me :40 years old with wife/kids=shorter
Me:Before all that=longer
On the plus side, when I do finally get to the game I want to play its usually pretty discounted by then.

I love super long games, if i havd fun, its money well spent

A mix of both. After I finish a long game I switch to a relatively short one.

GTA 6 I’m ready for +100 hours

Depends on the game.
15 hour games that are stretched to 40 hour games are a no-go.
In general I prefer 15 hour games the most.
>100h games like assassin’s creed Valhalla is something I never ever want to play again.

Optimized games.

Short games are better. I think the Resident Evil series has it perfect. It’s a complete work you can finish in 12-15 hours on first run, and then you can revisit it with changes to difficulty, rankings, new items and weapons, so every time you come back, its a little different and you get a sense of mastery.

Mix of both.
I adore that Spiderman 2 is like 15 hours, while I love that I managed to spend 273 hours in Odyssey.
One is not inherently better than the other, although I feel like these post formats are designed to make arguments.

I guess 10-15 hours is good, but only if the game can justify being that long. My favorite game ever, Mario 3, is probably around 5 hours long, for example. And as much as I adore every minute of those 5 hours, I think it would overstay its welcome if it went any longer nonetheless.

With that comparison shorter. But I will blitz Wither 3 for 2 months and enjoy it but AC Odyssey was a slog and I still don’t think I’ve finished it

Both. Admittedly, I don’t spend as much time as others in longer open world games (mostly main story + some extras) but most of the time you’ll still spend 20-40 hours. I also enjoy some 5-10 hour games here and there. Some games aren’t meant to be long as they could get repetitive.

Fun games. Don’t care about the length.

Good games.
Long_Date_2663 on
Shorter tbh I can’t do huge games and I lose interest quick once I’m done with the story and side quests I’m pretty much done with it
Hulstraderm on
Shorter everytime
DanFarrell98 on
Games as long as they need to be
RunOfTheMill_23 on
With whatever length they need to be best. But when a game costs $70 I better get some bang for my buck
