Do you judge the worth of a game by how much "value" it has?

So if you had enough money for one game, saw two that looked awesome, with one being a 100 hours long and the other 5 hours long, that wouldn't be any factor at all? Madness I say! locopatho

I judge the worth of a game by the quality of the experience. I don't ever pay attention to whether a game is 6 hours long or 60 hours long. If I had a damn good time playing it then it was a worthy purchase.

No, not at all. It doesn't matter if the game is long or short, if it looks great, I'll play it. Most of the time though, I won't play it at the same time everyone else does, which is usually on release day for them.

I usually don't pay $60 for a game. I'm not being greedy or whining about anything, I just normally do not pay $60, regardless of how much "value" the game holds. For value and worth, I look at the game itself and not its price.

Quality > Quantity.GeneralShowzer

This is how I feel. If the game isn't good or fun then the amount of content it has is void since what would really be the point of going through it if I am not enjoying myself.

If they really enjoyed the game I don't see why not. It's the same thing as people rewatching their favorite films. I think I played through Resident Evil 4 like 6 times.

Yes. I usually go like this. For each dollar I spend I should get an hour of gameplay. 20 dollar game = at least 20 hours. 60 Dollar game = at least 60 hours. I think this is a good way of deciding. If I won't get that much worth, I should just rent it because I can beat a game that's less then 10 hours long without spending 60 dollars.gotdangit

How many games do people actually play twice let alone 5 times? I can probably count the amount of games i've played multiple times this gen on two hands.MFDOOM1983

No, I buy games based on how much I'm interested it. I've played Metro 2033 for 40 plus hours(:o) and I certainly got my moneys worth despite the game only being single player and has a short campaign.

Really so long as the story is at least 8 hours or longer and i REALLY want it. i'll get it. After enjoyng the game, the trophies is usually what provides enough replay value for me.

I do not however buy games based on how easy or hard the trophies are, or if the game has trophies at all. Just that having them does seem to add a bit of value to me.

Multiplayer does not for the most part, cooperative does.

games like Battlefield multiplayer are exceptions. I am mostly a single player guy.

For other hobbies like movies. I never go to the theater without watching at least 2 movies. I would never pay 12 bucks for a 2 hour movie, and I usually either go early to the first screening which is cheaper, or a day that they are discounted.

So yea, I'm cheap, but I save a lot of money I think. The thing that I probably spend the most money on is food, I should just get ramen like every other college student and save my money even more for games that I do want to spend my money on.

Another thing, and I think it's psychological, people don't want to spend 60 bucks all at once, even for something that will last them a long time, but then they will still spend 20-30 bucks a night or weekend on food, drinks, movies, hobbies etc. I think it's just that fact that 60 dollars is so much as once instead of 60 dollars spread throughout a couple days.

I see a lot of people just play the same game over and over again because it has multiplayer. I don't know how they do it, I have a friend that plays BF3 still and nothing else. I got bored after the first 20 hours of the game, I wonder if he's forcing himself to play. People even play when they don't like the game because they paid 60 bucks.

I don't care much about length honestly. I expect 20 hours of entertainment, that's about right for every game. Otherwise I get bored playing the same thing. I don't look at the price too much, gaming is a luxury you know. It's not bread and water.

While content does matter, the quality of the content trumps the amount of content. RE2 is a short game, but it's good enough that it doesn't matter. I've played it many times because of this. The original Persona is a much longer game, but RE2 is of a much greater value to me, because Persona isn't a very good game.

I judge a game's worth by how much I personally enjoy it. Having said that, no matter how much I enjoy a game, I'll never pay $60 for a very short game.

i just buy whatever i feel like buying, ive never bothered bout reviews at all really.Some games arent worth top dollar and sometimes end up getting traded in a-la homefront and bulletstorm there just wasnt enough to keep me going for the price i paid for either of them and prettty sure bulletstorm was traded in for Madden 12 (sue me i like NFL).
