I tend to primarily play JRPGs and RPGs in general. The Xeno games have resonated strongly with me (all Xenoblade and Xenogears) over the past few years and each game has taken 100-200 hours each to complete. Hard to resist exploring the worlds in games like this and even the silliest sidequests can end up being a blast (and take you to unexplored areas of the map).
It depends really, for MP games I usually put in 300 hours or so, Ultra Street Fighter 4 and Monster Hunter World I have 300 hours, but I have like 692 hours on a more replayable game like Skyrim if you combine the playtime I have on the normal and Special edition.
This was my favourite thing out of all the Direct. Can't wait to play it! Sucks though that the acronym is very similar to SMW and maybe even to NSMBW.
No way! This is still my favorite Mario RPG i cant believe they're finally doing something with the series! They've always been so reluctant to even acknowledge its existence in the last
I find when I get a "fever" for a game I spend 20 to 80 hours on it. (Exception being AoE, I've played that game for 15 years and I'm not stopping) The reason I have clocked more than 300 hours in some games is that I come back to that game many times, like Civ 6, Satisfactory, Cities Skylines, Transport Fever, etc.
There are a handful of games that I've logged more than 100 hours in. I tend to get bored. Right now, I am enjoying Tears of the Kingdom and approaching that burnout period. There are enough side quests to maybe keep me going for another week or two, but I am getting ready to just complete the main quest and stop playing. I almost never replay games because I'd much rather be exploring something new.
I generally have a few "forever games" that I sink thousands of hours into. Right now that's Stellaris but in might try to get back into Crusader Kings with the new patch and of course when Civ 7 comes out I'll be all over that.
I generally prefer my other games to be fairly short, especially for story heavy games. I've left hundreds of Civ games unfinished, and it doesn't really matter, but I do actually want to finish games with a strong narrative, and really long ones can be hard. I never finished either of the Divinity original sin games, for instance, despite enjoying then quite a lot. Same with Witcher 3, though in that case it has more to do with rapidly becoming fatigued with the open world and also starting grad school about 3/4 if the way through and not having much time to play. I'm general though, I'd say about 20-30 hours is ideal for a game that I can't just replay forever.
While I'm no completionist, it takes me a LONG time for me to finish games. Whether it be because I bounce between multiple games (Street Fighter 6 and Tears of the Kingdom currently), I do nearly everything in a game, or I set a stupid challenge for myself. I like to kneecap myself for no discernible reason in video games and TTRPGs. I'm attempting a 4 (but might be 3 soon) heart run in Tears of the Kingdom on my first run through. Why? Shrug
It's funny, your comment reminded me of Questwood studios, which published a joke flash game marvelous questing experience way back in 2003, I looked it up, and holy shit, they made something else in WebGL that I can't play at the moment because I'm on mobile, but now I have something to check out when I get home.
Depends some games like Miitopia, Mario Kart 8D, Monster Sanctuary or modding Dawn of War Dark Crusade I've play a lot of hours cause of giving me tools for me to be creative or easily distract myself when my mind is fried, replayabily while being able to play differently or just being able to mod and rebalance the game.
Some of my favourite games are short like Wandersong and the Steamworld Games
Some of the games i play a long time also give me idea of games i'll never make
Some games i know i could of played a lot of hours i don't cause of isolation and that online doesn't fill the hole of local play so now i don't play online games even if i'm interested in them or like playing them.
There are a lot games i played over 100 hours. Every big mmorpg i played in the past has for sure over 100 hours. That would be Guildwars and Elsword for me. But since i'm a big jrpg fan, there are a few games that just take over 100 hours. Persona 5 for example. I played the original Persona 5 and Persona 5 royal, so about 200 hours on this game. The Trails of the cold steel series has quite long games, 3 out of 4 took me over 100 hours and i played them all one after another, so it took me about 400 hours to finish this series. I played Genshin impact for 500 hours i guess, but forget about that...i'm finished with this. I played maybe every Fire Emblem entry for over 100 hours, reaching on Three houses about 400 hours and on Engage already about 250 hours. Final Fantasy X is my favorite FF game i have played so much. Over the years for sure about 10 times, so i guess i played to 300+ hours. So there are a few fighting games i played for a long time, my favorite in the last years is Soulcalibur VI. I played Soulcalibur VI for about 800h i think. I still would say i play a big variaty of games, but i invest in some of them a bit more time. But i doubt i reach 1000h in any game recent game, only in the mmorpgs, but that was a long time ago.
