Games are becoming shorter now, post comments here

I can beat Zelda: OoT or Zelda: MM in one sitting. And I'm sure all of you have seen those speedruns of the NES / SNES / N64 games.

Besides this post, what's really changed at all?

FF7 was the RPG that got me into RPGs, i've played that game to the point where i can beat IT in one sitting, it has alot of replay value, because of it's Phenominal Storyline.

(current personal record, 14h:23m)

But alot of games have crap for re-play value, What i'm i'm saying is, the better the story, Gameplay and difficulty increase it's replay value, game makers need to balance these three things out

A game with no story has the potential for replay value, if it has good gameplay
A game with not so good gameplay has potential if it has a good story.
A game with a High/low difficulty you may not want to replay as it was Too easy/hard and not worth it, though Fun gameplay/good story can make this better.

Music and Graphics are cosmetic they make the game simply more enjoyable, a factor but not as significant.

There's a rather large difference between being short and being easy.

What I mean by that is that the game isn't short... just too easy for you and I. So it feels short and lacking.

I don't know about you but I thought the final boss of SPP was probably the hardest boss in Mario history. :o

Then I would call you god.

I would call him ground beef.


I can never sit doing one thng for too long.

NSMB isn't short. Far from it.

From what someone said here about that gameplay matters more than graphics, that is true, but if the gameplay is the same and the graphics are better, I'd rather have a better version. This is why my SMB1 NES ROMs are only used for ROM hacking.
