ChocoboMog123 10/15/21 12:58:40 AM #4:	Just make the walking speed half as fast. Gaming is an experience and if that 5 hour experience is worth $20, it's worth it. People go out to the movies and pay $20 for tickets and popcorn for a single person. People go out and buy $50+ dollar meals for certain occasions. At least a game you can go back and replay it or let a friend play it. --- "You're sorely underestimating the power of nostalgia goggles." - adjl http://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/20110218.gif <cite>ChocoboMog123 posted [p:959047217] in Some indie...

ssjevot 10/15/21 1:07:56 AM #6:	Yeah a lot of classic games are only a few hours long, but the difficulty caused us to have to replay from the start many times as a kid so we never noticed. And adjusted to today's prices those games were like $100 new. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss <cite>ssjevot posted [p:959047406] in Some indie...

UnfairRepresent 10/15/21 3:04:28 PM #16:	Honestly I don't think time is all that important vs quality. I mean it's widely agreed that Portal is one of the best games of the 21st century right? And that took like 90 minutes. Undertale only takes a couple of hours. I kinda get it for big Triple A releases where they just are not trying and it's a cash grab like Ground Zeroes. But Hunt Down the Freeman is not worth more money than Portal because it takes 8 times as long as to complete. That's madness. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:959064959] in Some indie...
