After How Many Hours of Playing Do You Feel Satisfied with a Game? - Games

This question has been in my head for a while about how many hours people play before they feel like they have played the worth of the game.

*Looks at Fallout New Vegas* 300 hours :v:

when i reach the point where i feel that i have done everything

Usually around 80 or so.

850 hours on gmod.

at least for me, it doesn't really matter about the time - it's more like, do I feel satisfied now that I have played through this game? i.e. Oblivion I kind of quit after ~90 hours but I was much more satisfied after I finished Mass Effect 2 in ~18 hours

Depends on the game really. For a multiplayer game I want at least like 100-150, would prefer a lot more but for most games that's just too much to ask. As for singleplayer they're really way too different to say, for a major release I'd say around 30.

Mostly depends, but in most cases it's 11-30.

I am satisfied when I have finished the game

Depends. I generally aim for at least half as many hours as the cost of the game. So I generally expect at least thirty hours of gameplay from a sixty dollar game.

[QUOTE=Juniez;26420209]I am satisfied when I have finished the game[/QUOTE] Then again, it depends on you're opinion on what finishing a game means, do you mean get 100%, or simply complete the storyline. Or maybe somewhere in-between?

i'm never satisfied with games these days

Sandbox games with no real plot and multiplayer games tend to last a lot longer than single player story driven games. I reckon I've clocked over a thousand hours on counterstrike source since 04.

It depends, for story based games around 20-30 hours is good. For open ended games and sandboxes it's 30+ hours. For CRPGs and WRPGs it's 40-50 hours, JRPGs it around 100+ hours (grindan erryday). For multiplayer games I want at least 100 hours of play to feel satisfied, anything less is a waste of money.

for singleplayer games, 20 hours. Multiplayer 50+

I depends on the game. I would rather have a great 15 or so hours than some mediocre 100+ hours.

linear games 20+ is good. If it's a sandbox game or multiplayer I want to get at least 50. For example the GTA games and Just Cause 2 all took around 75 hours for me to play through the story and keep playing afterwards until I was bored.

I like lengthy games. If I had a job, game length wouldn't matter to me because I would buy a new game each month. But no one is hiring me, so any money I get has to be a careful investment into replayability and satisfaction.

If I can not bring myself to play a game twice, and if it's at full price I feel ripped off.

a dollar an hour for paying 59.99 i expect at least 59.99 hours of gameplay

At least 100 hours. This is accurate for me as, by this definition, MW2 did not satisfy me.

I don't really get bored at a specific time, but if I get atleast 20+ hours of gameplay I feel I didn't waste my money unless it's extremely crappy, but I prefer 30+

It depends on the replayability, really. For games like Fallout I could play hundreds of hours before I finally get done with it, but games like Half-Life 2 can only keep me entertained until it's over, at which point I close it and play it over again at a later date.

Huge, exhaustive games like Oblivion, Fallout, and sorta Mass Effect I expect at least 100 hours. But for something short and sweet like SC: Conviction, I'm fine with around 10-15.

On an okay game, 50 hours. On a game I really like, 120+.

Like already stated, depends on the story but for me, with RPGs, I expect atleast 200 hours of satisfaction.

I got GRAW for Xbox for $5 and I'm satisfied with beating the game twice on both difficulties, as well as a few multiplayer matches.
