Well, if a game can be beaten a rental period that lasts a week, there's nothing to be done about that. It wouldn't be good to make games last two months just to prevent that.

But if I really like a game, I'd want to replay it a lot, so even then a rental wouldn't be enough.

I'd say

1~2 days: Getting short

1~2 weeks: Good

Over a month: Getting long


But it's not difficult to get a rough translation of days played to hours played. feeds@yuku.com (Crawl and 1OOO) http://flyingomelettespalace.yuku.com/sreply/81350 Fri, 31 Mar 2006 11:27:44 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: "This game IS worth..." ]]> http://flyingomelettespalace.yuku.com/reply/81349/t/-quot-This-game-IS-worth-quot-.html#reply-81349
And I guess I'm really not too picky on how long a game should be versus how much money it costs. I used to be disappointed if an RPG wasn't more than 25 hours long, but I don't pay any attention to things like that now.

As far as beating something during a traditional (non Gamefly) rental, I haven't done that very often.

I'm not doubting that Ocarina of Time could be beaten in 10 hours, but you'd have to be speeding through it and not doing much (if any) optional stuff.

Example: It might take a person experienced with the game about an hour to beat Ninja Gaiden (on the NES). An hour is NOT the time I'm counting here. Because two sentences ago I said "a person experienced with the game", while the standard is, "on your FIRST try."

I would imagine how many hours you actually play. There is tremendous variation between game timers.

Like, God of War's timer stops during cutscenes and when you pause (because I left the game paused for 45 minutes while I talked on the phone, but only 10 minutes of the in-game timer had passed when I... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Facilitypro) http://flyingomelettespalace.yuku.com/sreply/81343 Wed, 29 Mar 2006 18:58:48 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: "This game IS worth..." ]]> http://flyingomelettespalace.yuku.com/reply/81342/t/-quot-This-game-IS-worth-quot-.html#reply-81342

You'd think it'd be kind of obvious, though. I mean, what sidescroller or space shooter takes 25 hours to beat if you play them flawlessly? An hour for games like that would be longer than average.

I'd say "only" $20, because I can rarely bring myself to pay more than $20 for ANY game. Sure, a handful of games disappear completely before getting a price drop. But any somewhat popular game will almost certainly eventually become a player's choice $20 game.
