Face Off: Single player games can be too long

Face Off pits two verbal gladiators against each other as they attempt to tackle gaming’s most perplexing conundrums. This week we decide if single player experiences can be too drawn out, or if more is always better. Grab some popcorn and get ready to see these two contenders duke it out with argument uppercuts and logic bombs.

Ultimately, only you choose how long the game is, whether you're playing CoD single player 20 times, or Oblivion for 20 minutes, only thing that matters is whether you enjoy every moment you play it.

Well if singler player is the only thing being offered, then yeah I would definately want a long experience. Got to get my money's worth.

caseh4953d ago (Edited 4953d ago )

For me it depends on the game. CoD MW felt over stretched, the single player campaign was about 6-7 hours long and I found myself saying 'Maybe THIS is the last mission' a few stages before the end.

Dragon Age on the other hand had me for 50 hours, when I finished it i sat there with a sense of 'I guess thats it...? need...more!'

Some games are like crap movies, once you reach the point of no return you are compelled to see it through to the end. Even if its a grind, you will still endure it. On the flip-side, if its good you never want it to end :)

supremacy4953d ago

Yeah, but thats call of duty, single player its not its forte. Their thing is a bear trap, buy the games then buy DLC until you lose yourself. Heck I wish a game like uncharted be longer, not that I dont like its current lengh, but I can only want more.

what an utterly stupid opinion !

Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements

I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed

ZeekQuattro57d ago

Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.

New Vegas and Morrowind should have been first!

Christopher65d ago

Fairly certain we all know that New Vegas isn't getting anything because it's not a Bethesda developed game.

OMGitzThatGuy65d ago

MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it.

***MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it. ***

I think the issue is that it's not a Bethesda developed game, not that MS owns both. This is more about Todd.

RaidenBlack65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

Yep ... Todd doesn't like getting bettered within his own IP scope.
I still think of the Elder Scrolls spin-off Obsidian pitched similar to New Vegas, but Todd rejected.

RaidenBlack65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

Replayed NV more than FO3 ... so I appreciate the FO3 remaster more.
For NV, I'd much prefer a sequel or a spinoff from Obsidian.

FTLmaster65d ago

Got a soft spot for Fallout 3, so I'd be down to play this.

-Foxtrot65d ago

It's crazy New Vegas wasn't worked on first to launch alongside Fallout Season 2.

They could have added all the cut content they had planned but didn't have enough development time to add, possibly even expand on it a little more. For example, have the Vegas strip as one big hub over being chopped into smaller sections we have to keep loading into.

Would love a complete remake or sequel with enough resources

Abnor_Mal65d ago

The only Fallout game I’ve played, PS3 had to keep stopping every few minutes to save. Next thing I knew the credits were rolling and I never did any side quest. I never replayed the game because of all the bugs the game had.

Yui_Suzumiya65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

I've played Fallout 3 more than any game. I lost count many years ago of how many times I finished it. It was my first Platinum trophy. But yeah, it was buggy on PS3 at launch before it got properly patched.

anast65d ago

They are only remaking their games that have been streamlined.
