Why. I can find $70 worth of enjoyment in a concise video game. It would be a shame to have it arbitrarily watered down to please people like you.

Not if they're dead hours.

Are you really telling me that you'd rather play 100 hours of assassin's creed collecting map markers instead of 12 hours of uncharted 4?

(I mean I feel you're gonna say yes but my answer is no)

I've always found this idea to be weird. I'm not going to demand for higher prices because, LMAO, why would I? However, video games are actually very low cost entertainment. Getting even something as low as 15 hours of entertainment for $60 is actually pretty good now a days. Going to the movies are starting to hit close to $20 now a days. That is usually for about 2 hours of entertainment. When you compare that to video games, I can't really complain to much.

Like I said though... I don't want to pay higher prices so you won't see me advocating for it lmao

I prefer shorter games than longer ones overall tbh.

Mafia Definitive Edition is much better than Mafia 3 despite being much shorter.

most games are too long as it is these days because they're padded with brainless filler to make them take longer.

Metroid Dread took me ~13.5h to finish the whole game at 100% item completion and that was absolutely worth $60. i recently finished Yakuza 5 and while that took me much longer (like 50h IDR), it wasn't nearly as satisfying. i'd much rather take MD for $60.

Absolutely agreed. Smaller condensed games > bloated shit that you burn out on 30 hours in because it isn't interesting enough

this is why i haven't bought a single player game in almost a decade(outside of GTA/RDR)

So you never bought them on sale?

So don't. GOTG came out last month and is already half price.

There's stuff like Game Pass, PS+ games etc.

It has never been cheaper to play games.

For me $70 games aren't a problem in themselves but what if you paid $70 and got a Cyberpunk 2077?

Or paying that much yet having huge walls of DLC thrust in your face afterwards?

That's my issue. We haven't improved upon the things that tended to cut into the value of a $60 game, why are they now worth $70 for the same hangups?

For me hours of enjoyment is a lot less important than just sort of satisfaction. I'd rather pay the same price for 16 hours of content to 100% a game over 60 hours of a game that I decide to stop playing.

Almost every mainline Resident Evil game is worth full price.

Are we arguing that only open world or multiplayer games are worth full price?

How many new full price games can you name that only have ten hours of content that also have singleplayer DLC?

Unless you wait for GOTY edition expect to shuffle out 100+ dollars.

Games have never been more profitable for developers than now.

Most games aren't 70 hours long. GTA V isn't even half that length. So I guess you're not going to be buying anything except a handful of RPGs.
You can pretty easily get 70 hours of entertainment out of GTA V on one playthrough
