How long do you think it should take to beat a great video game?

 

 

I think it should have around 40 hours... So we can have great experiences and all...

 

 

What do you think?

Over 80 hours for me to consider it a great game, and only a couple have done that.

40 hours is good. Anything less than 10 is way too short for me, I hate games that short!

to me, it must be long, but it must have a good plot, if it doesnt have a good plot and it takes forever, it is just a waste of time

40 hours is good enough for me

Anywhere from 10-20 hours is good enough for me. It's not often you find a game that borders 40+ hours, other than RPGs, so it's silly to say that 40 hours is the PERFECT length for a game. Anything under 10 hours feels way too short. 10 hours seems to be the standard length for most games, so that's my minimal expectation.

I love long games as long as the story is good and it has decent graphics. It took me 5 months to beat KH Re-Coded. Maybe that's just because of my lack of time and skills. I hate short games it's seems like a waste of money when they only last a day.

21-40 i believe should be a length of a great video game http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png (i dislike it when a game is so quick to finish , i made an exception for Batman Arkham City and asylumn because they were so awesome http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png)

Most games I own are 20+ hours

I really love games that can keep going on and on and I won't get tired of it.

At least 40-something hours for the main story and a crapload more after that. I didn't realize that I spent more than 300 hours on Dissidia until I looked at my time once.

 

Time should fly by, but the game shouldn't.

I love a long story so....21-40 hours.

A good game in my opinion should last about 30 hours minimum, have an exhilarating plot line, great graphics and gameplay, and just be all-around fun. anything less than that is usually garbage, even if it is in a series i like.

11-20 for just story completion. A good 50 or so to 100% it.

Probably over a year.

Over 80 hours,I like long games like Final Fantasy,I like that feeling when I finally beat those long and challenging games with such deep stories,I'm like: ''WOW!! finally,I sure haven't waste my money on this''.There is a real feeling of achievement to me after beating a FF,unlike short games like Sonic colors,Super Mario galaxy 1 & 2,Metroid other M,when I beat these 10 hours games I'm like: ''That's it?...hmmm...that was good...but way too short'' .As for 30-40 hours games like Zelda or Kingdom Hearts I have no problem with them,but I prefer 80 and more.

Obviously depends on the game.

The only games I can think of that would extend for 80+ hours are the Pokemon games (The main series black, white, platinum etc.) and some of the Final Fantasy Games. Those games are, in my opinion, some of the best that I have ever played... so I have to go with 80 hrs. 25-40 to beat the main story and then many more hours fully leveling up the characters and finishing it 100%

About two days

Beat, ~40.

 

Play, that's another story. I've got 80+ on Pokemon White and 300+ on Pokemon Pearl, and 250+ on Dissidia 012

mine really depends on the game, it can range anywhere from 10 hours to 40 hours. most of the time it is somewhere in the middle of that.

tutti frutti. Much like what Sora96 and VentusRoxas, to me it depends on the game. So long as I find the game great enough to enjoy, such as KH2 for example, then I would be content with it being roughly 40 - 60+ hours to get everything in the game. But I guess it would also be on how the game came together as a whole, on top of the game.

From 23 all the way till 50

the lower end of elven

21-40 hours. That's how long it took me to beat Skyrim.

I love my games to be long and interesting but I dont like to rush through them. I use to do that but now I savor the experience. One of the main reasons I love the Kingdom Hearts series is because the games are lengthy but not long enough. Has anyone played a Tales game, like tales of vesperia, or tales of the abyss? Those games are long as hell and its awesome! I wish each game of Kingdom hearts was as long as one of these games, it would satisfy me even more

OVER 80 HOURS!!!
