which length do you prefer in games?!

i really like to games which would last very long, such as dragon quest titles or final fantasy titles.

i recently finished baldurs gate dark alliance on the gba which i think was of that just right length. i have also played short games such as vagrant story. since those games would leave many people wanting to play more, i prefer to play long games.

ofcourse game length would not be an issue for great games.

While longer is better for me, I'd prefer a shorter game that is packed of excitement rather then a longer game that just seems to be drawn out with useless gameplay.

For FPS anything around 10 hrs is good for me, and for me at least anything past that can become a bit samey unless the Dev brings something new to the table later on which will draw me back in.

RPG obviously the longer the better, but as I said above, it can't be just "walk for 30 minutes here and talk to this guy" for the entire time, it needs to have fairly frequent action sections or sections which draw me in, otherwise I find myself getting pretty bored with the game.

Well it depends...If they were open world games, the good type where u can do lots of stuff and it has a good story, I'll like it to last....but I think the other genres should make their multiplayer worthy so they can get a good replay value...because sports games, racing games, FPShooters, RPGs, RTSs, they all get boring after sometime...even the greatest of them gets boring after 30hours (There may be less than 10 non-free world games that are worthy of more than that only with their single player, In my opinion)....so I think it's a good thing games like CoD4 and R6V and... have short campaigns...because the replay value is in multiplayer. Period.

I say 200hours for open worlds,,,,,,10-25 for other ones...IN SINGLE PLAYER, I MEAN.

12 to 15 hours for the single player game is perfect, and I love when games have extra mini game modes and tons of collectables

As long as it is fun, the longer is the better.

After all I do like playing MMOs.

40 hours is a minimum for me to even consider it a game, cause less then that and it might be done and over in 1-2 sitting...while 40 hours is unlikely to be done in 2 sitting.

$1-2 per hour played is stretching it for me, while good games goes way below $0,10 per hour played, MMO or not.

DooM3 , it's very long ,but repeative gameplay killed it .

I like games to atleast 30Hrs to get my full moneys worth. But for racing games the Campaign shouldnt be too long because it can get boring afterawhile...

I don't care as long as its good a i can replay it again.

But these peopel who say games are getting shorter and want longer game why don't they play less.and it will lass longer.

Action games, 12-15 hours. RPG's/Adventure games, 20-30 hours.

There's many instances of great games that were just a little too short to be great, Heavenly Sword being a good recent example. I mean... 6 hours? :/
