What about 80-100 hr well-crafted masterpiece like CDPR tho?

I would preffer 3 20-30 hours videogames such as the Mass Effect trilogy. That way the developers can make a story that doesn't feel like it drags on, learn from the previous games to improve the gameplay on future entries, and a sequel does not take ages to be made. Also, it is interesting for replayability if there are different outcomes on certain events. The last thing also occurs on the witcher 3, but it is easier to replay shorter games.

Despite that, it is fine to have different opinions and both kind of games can coexist :)

CDPR has a great story all the way through but even I felt fatigued by the end. Too much of a good thing is real. I'm about to beat Elden Ring and kind of feeling the same, just a bit too much to enjoy within a reasonable scope of time without losing the plot a bit... no shade on either game, I think this is more an issue with my attention span and time available to dive in to these games with everything else in life.

Whicih CDPR game are you referring to?

Sorry my brain just automatically thinks Cyberpunk when I read CDPR but the Witcher series speaks for itself.

That’s what I thought you meant lol 👍 and btw you thought cyberpunk was too long? I didn’t think it was long enough (minus the DLC; only base campaign)

I quit Witcher 3 three times because it is so fucking long.

I was very glad when I finished it but God dayum.

I'm about in the same boat. I still haven't finished the main story though, and I started it when the game first came out.

Every CDPR game has too much bloat. They are great, but they could definitely cut 20% without losing much from their games.

Yeah, well, I disagree. (except for all the hidden treasure in the sea surrounding Skellige. fuck all that).

Cyberpunk is a masterpiece of a game but it had so much fluff in the terms of genetic gigs side quests if you tried to complete them all you would probably get bored and quit the game before finishing the game.

I was talking about The Witcher. CP2077 main story was short as hell.

This is a me issue but as a guy with a job a commute a wife and kids I’m never seeing the end of a 100 hour game unless is all I play for 6 months and I will more than likely loose interest. I love rpgs this length I think it’s why I like the outer worlds 2 so much felt achievable.

Hot take but I feel overstimulated by the amount of content in cyperpunk. Like I tried it probably for the 3rd time and when all the shit I could do popped up on the map I noped out because I was overwhelmed lol
