MMO's with RNG systems should not be considered.

It's interesting that Sony had two of the longest games considering some people claim their games are short one and dones. It's largely not the case, Sony actually has plenty of robust games. Days Gone, Death Stranding, GT Sport, U4, HZD, MLB The Show, KZ SF, Bloodborne, Let it Die, LBP3, TLoU Remastered, Ni No Kuni II, The Nathan Drake Collection, Judgement, Firewall, Rigs, God of War, Driveclub, Dreams, and the upcoming Predator and TLoU II look to have plenty of play. Even Godfall appears to be a lengthy type of game. Then, rumors of a mp SOCOM.

There are actually very few short PS4 exclusives. The Order is sort of an aberration, even Gravity Rush 2 has a 53 hour platinum time and a 34 hour average. The story is nearly double that of the rebooted Tomb Raider games.

Trails of cold steel is number #1 for a reason it has 1.2 MILLION WORDS in the story. If your playing this game and finishing in 65 hours you think you enjoyed the story but you only got a little of it. It has been proven that when it comes to emotion, you cant speed read and get an emotional impact! Plus to put this in perspective it is 500 thousand more words than the bible. It is bigger than all three harry potter books combined. Not to mention over a 80 boss fights and countless non-boss enemies. This game should take you at least 200 hours if you doing more than the bare minimum.

Bard's Tale IV director's cut released this year on consoles. I am sure it should be right there.

If you finish Death Stranding in less than 40 hours why are you playing the game? Some chapters took me nearly 40 hours. Granted i am playing on hard, but still.

I guess playing on easy and speeding through the story could technically net you a 39 hour play time, but the cutscenes alone make up nearly 12 hours. So are people actually completing the game portion in 27 hours? Chapters 2 and 3 combined should take you more than 27 hours alone.

Good lord.

I have put over 100 hours in and i'm not even finished with the story. I feel like Death Stranding is an extremely long game, perhaps too long, but still incredible.

Days Gone is another meaty game, but 36 hours for just the story at least sounds more reasonable. Playing on hard and going for the platinum will net you almost twice that. Then, add in all the free DLC and the NG+/survivor modes and it's a very robust game. The photo mode also accounts for quite a few hours.

ummm its like trails of cold steel people like to brag and they think we dont know when they are telling a fish story!

[jeromeface]

I'm well over 100hrs into Death Stranding and I'm fairly certain that I'm about halfway done lol
