I dont know if I want every game to be huge I like shorter games that are driven by there stories.
Are modern games too short?

Dammit, beaten by Eugene again.
I agree with the points made in the Jimquisition. AAA games need to start adapting to a variable pricing model, not every game is worth $60. Just because your budget became inflated to extreme proportions, doesn't mean that consumers should foot the bill.

I'm with all the RPG fans, i sometimes don't get that much time to play games but i still tend to like games like RPG 50 - 500 hour games that has a HUGE storie to it. I think i played about 350 hours of skyrim (PS3) over a 8 month period. I enjoyed every minute of it.
I'm also currently playing Witcher 2 and have passed the 50 hour mark, tbh i don't even notice the time goes by when i play the game.
I always feel cheated with games if I don't at least get 10 hours of gaming out of them on the 1st play-through because there will not be a 2nd one.

Once again variable pricing ideas crop up. The better question would be on what standard would variable prices be decided?Dammit, beaten by Eugene again.

i would be much happier to pay R350 for a 6 hour game, rather than R700 for a 20 hour game.

Would that depend on the quality of the game or just on the length pf the games.

assuming equal quality in every hour (which is pretty much impossible, as the longer the game, the more likely it will have padding). But lets assume the very best case scenario, each of the 6 hours is as good as each of the 20 hours. I would still pick the cheaper game with fewer hours, rather than more expensive with more hours. just too many games and too little time

So the issue is one of a lack of time. Unfortunately I don't think this is a problem that will go away for any of us any time soon.

ya i also would rather have 3 to 5 hours of fun than 100hours of padding.

Padding I don't think Is always the worst sin in the world. It allows you the time to appreciate the world around you and take I the minute details you might otherwise miss in the pursuit of the grand goal. Obviously it shouldn't serve to overtake the purpose of the game itself but instead can help expand your enjoyment of it. As long as the amount is within reason.

+1 agree but sometime it just used for most of the game.

Yeah, when the balance is achieved it's sublime . However usually you just get that feeling of overbearing gameplay
