Would you pay for a movie or 5 hour long game?

Movie all the way

Holy lack of subtlety, Batman.

did this really need a thread

A movie is a cheaper better experience than a movie game

5 hours is just not enough for a 60 dollar game i need tons of replayability for a 60 dollar game aka like destiny or something that i can play over an over again

5 hours na bro 60 is way overcosted

well said

I am glad The Order flopped. If it had been a success we would see more studios do meaningless work and make games that are 5 hours long. $60 for a game of this length is just robbery. Throw in no coop and multiplayer and you have a movie. Sad.

@FoxbatAlpha:

there are plenty of 5 hour games in the market, so I do not get what you point even is.

And beside, a game's success is measured by its sales not scores. If the game sells a couple of millions then you know it will have sequels.

Why would I pay 60 dollars when I can enjoy a movie for 9 dollars. Age of Ultron yo

I can see high quality, 2 hour films in the cinema for £2.50.

So no chance in hell I'd pay £40 for TheCorridor1886.

Depends on pricing. $60 is steep for a 5-hour long game heavily focused on cinematics. I'm not saying I would never purchase a game like that at $60, but it would have to spin a very good yarn.

If priced more reasonably, like at $30 or $40, I'd consider it a lot more. That's what I liked about Ground Zeroes' pricing. I mention it knowing it's not the same, but I'd definitely like there to be more dynamic pricing in the industry in the future.

Lol you first thread on system wars.

No need to choose when you can get both in one package.... Out of Order 188.....5. :P

Most 5 hour games were not hyped to this level, in production 5 years, have multiplayer and coop to add some replay and are indies. Sales is a different topic.

i would pay for both movies and games.

and movies are hell of a lot cheaper than games...this isnt a versus type thing

Movie.Games are ment to be PLAYED, not WATCHED like movies. Games are NOT movies. When are developers going to realize this?

I don't really mind if a game is 5 hours....And it's amazing. I mind if the game is 5 hours and it's filled with unskippable cut-scenes, QTEs, and with very little gameplay, that happens to be meh-ish gameplay.

Destiny's main, err...."campaign"(?) isn't much longer than five hours. I played and enjoy that game.

Neither. I don't watch many movies.

The order is a B movie

Oh look. Someone trying to claim ownage on a speed run of a game that's not on their system. Oh internet, how you disappoint me.

@Telekill: I heard you can finish it in 6 HR with half of it being cutscenes not skippable

well the ownage part would be that it got a 5 and flopped

but where is the evidence that the 5 hour thing was a speed run

Would you pay for this?

*coop not included*

@R3FURBISHED:

but it's also filled with co-op and pvp activities. And, for the story, you get gameplay for 6 hours. Not qtes and unskippable cut scenes.

Destiny has unskippable cutscenes....

A movie, unlike video games it has a better chance of actually having a good story.

Also, those other "5 hour games," unspecified, of course, probably had more than two hours of actual game play.

Roughly half the game was cut scenes and you couldn't skip them. The game has 2.5 to 3 hours worth of gameplay unless you are try to take your time playing it. No replay value or co op. Cows can't even damage control over this.

Cows, play this at a soft volume as you endure the grief. For you.

I would rather watch a movie like Age of Ultron at $60 than watch the disaster The Order at local matinee movie price of $4. This is the type of game you bury next to ET the game and DriveClub.

The order is probably the second worse game at the moment wow what a disaster

The movie. I'm more content with my import UK DVD copies of Scott Pilgrim and Police Story than paying $60 for a game that lacks content.

Crap, I'd spend more on a James Bond DVD Collection and I'd STILL get more enjoyment.

I don't think I've ever bought a movie game. Seriously when your gameplay is as deep as a QTE section from any other game I'll avoid at all costs.

I have bought lots of short, but enjoyable games. But I do wait until the price is right. 10 euro for MGS V Ground Zeroes was perfect for me.

Game, there is ultimate replay value.

Greatness awaits...4 the players...

I'm lucky I have a WiiU and an xbone for exclusives. The ps4 exclusives are mediocre.

Tiny Corridor games that only have good graphics as a positive never score well.

Look at Ryse for Xbone for example... 4.0

except the order......sadly

I'd rather pay $7 for a 2hr movie then $60 for a 5 hour cinematic movie trying to be a game.

I paid $7 to see Kingsman: The Secret Service and it was well worth the money. Damn that movie was over the top. Nothing was held back and the body count was through the roof.

The Order should have never even been developed, we get it

If you're asking would I buy The Order 1886, the answer is a no. Though, I may be willing to try it when it's cheaper if people have good things to say about it.

Anyhow, Vanquish was like 5 hours long and that game was awesome.

I could manage to play that multiple times.

Would you really watch the same cut scenes over and over? Well a least you will get maybe 6 hours of actual gameplay from those replays.

Movie of course. Lol, some people are still voting for option 2. Guys,,, just let it go.

Okay, now I'm a little miffed. I make a thread about the last XBox One Day One Edition on Amazon and that thread gets locked faster than a cricket can sneeze but this gets a pass despite there being a sticky?

its actually 2.5 hours of gameplay and 2.5 hours of cutscenes.

Lmao PS4.

It depends on what that 5 hour game is, because most of my favorite games of all time are shorter than that. Since this is obviously about The Order though, I wouldn't even buy it for $5.

5 hour long game

I love video games a hell of a lot more then movies.

So they plan on making a sequel to this game?
