Nah but doin videos about games will do that to ya. Uncritical support to Thorhighheels.

Game reviewers/"content creators" have a strong bias toward games they can finish within a week and get on to the next one

Aye, whereas I'm real happy to sink into a good RPG for anywhere from 40-100 hours :)

In the minecraft modpack I'm playing right now, one of the goals I'm trying to accomplish involves building a giant machine and letting it run for 30-40 hours.

Not only do I mostly play thousand hour build games and huge RPGs, I usually mod them to be longer. RimWorld, for example, I play with heavy tech mods and completely disregard the rocket. My playthroughs end when my computer can no longer bear the weight of the simulation.

wish there was a "unite the planet" victory condition. i go for it anyways the best i can (trying Rim War right now)

Pretty sure that'd be past the point where it slows down to an unplayable crawl

we'll see how far rocketman can take it before i say fuck it let's play dwarf fortress again

I don't care how long a game is as long as the story is interesting and it's paced well. I've played 8 hour games that felt artificially lengthened and 80 hour epic JRPGs that I wanted to keep going.

Honestly its fine if it can stay good for that long

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Yes, yes, and YES.

I beat ADACA's campaign in ~9 hours and that was so refreshing.

[–] Comp4@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What does ADACA stand for ?

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

ADACA

I think that's just the name of the game. Never played it, but it's a retro styled FPS
