An Exceptionally Short Stint in Limbo

PlayDead's soon-to-be-realeased title Limbo is scandalously short. The question is whether length is the only valid metric value.

super mario brothers can be beaten in under 5 minutes. so what?

we really need to get over this retarded "dollar vs hours of gameplay" equation. i don't look at a dvd and bitch that it's $20 for a 90 minute experience. i don't look at a stephen king novel and bitch that it's $25 for a shorter novel than his previous book.

i think games are about the experience. i'm not going to buy a 100 hour game that bores the tits off of me just to feel like i got my moneys worth. $15 for an amazing experience, even if it's only an hour, is worth it to me. $60 for an amazing 5 hour retail game is worth it to me.

heres a little secret-you can replay the game! gamers these days seriously act like game discs are one time use only and erase themselves after their done. it's perfectly okay to put a game on the shelf for a month and go back to it. too many people equate replay value with "if i don't want to beat it over and over and over again the first day i own it, then i'll just rent it".

I totally agree. That's exactly what the article is about.

It's now time for somebody to go up to Xbox Live Gold whilst it's fast asleep, then hold a pillow tight over its mouth until it stops breathing.

This is game pass though. Doesn't seem that much better right now.

Profchaos292d ago

Looking at the quality of games mixing the two up in this case it's an easy mistake to make

BrainSyphoned292d ago

I forgot Everspace 2 released so I'm happy with this month.

Profchaos292d ago

Well I guess we know where all that gamepass money is going right into a giant s labelled bucket

Microsoft is spending $70B on Activision. That doesn’t leave a lot left over for other AAA games.

I've really wanted to play A Short Hike and Airborne Kingdom for a while now so it's cool they've been added but yeah I don't see this exciting the masses
