NowGamer looks at the longest games in different genres, from the longest FPS games, to the largest open worlds. This is a list of longest games by genre, NOT longest games full stop.
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
As is they're coins down a sofa, some announced games seem to just disappear. So just where are these missing VR games?
For GTA SA
Meta made a lot of budget cuts and cancelled a fair few exclusive game contracts we don't know if this was cancelled but it's possible and this was announced prior to the release of GTA definitive edition which was slammed and eventually moved to be supported in house by Rockstar.
Since then we have just gotten the mobile versions a d they are actually the best way to play the definitive edition unfortunately the consoles never got a retrospective patch to implement the improvements they made in the mobile games.
But for VR we know a VR mode was found in the definitive editions game files thanks to data miners so seeming it was meant to be using the definitive edition as a base given its ue4 that makes sense. And the mode is there right now (some Polish may be required still) I would assume this is ready to go but meta got cold feet and cancelled it given the games reputation.
I do hope Rockstar forge ahead and still just launch it anyway on psvr2 as it's a game I've loved since day 1 on PS2 I'll even tolerate the de version to get it in VR
You might not be able to believe this, but Dark Souls is a pretty tricky game on the PlayStation 3.
The Total War series really needs a mention too. Hell any RTS really eats up your time, like Age of Empires but I guess Civilisation represents them.
I thought Fallout 3 was pretty dam long. And what about those Pokemon games?
Dragon Quest games... the avrg game gives u 90 to 300hrs of gameplay.... Especially DQ8 on ps2.
i would say resident evil 4 is pretty long. it toke me about 20 some odd hours to go threw my first time and im still not done with mercinaries.
Is there some rule that you have to mention HL2 to seem legit it video game journalism?
I remember completing this in the 8-10 hour range when it came out in 2004, then it took about 16 hours on PS3 a few years later. Don't ask me why it took longer the second time, maybe it has something to do with the controls.
AAAAAAANY WAY, the play time is short compared to the original, so why isn't this on a list of "Longest games ever". Has the author only played games from the last couple of console generations?
