I just don’t want to have to play it for 50 hours to feel like I got the full experience. they were 15 hours well spent. however, you are missing out on a lot of the game if you just complete it once. the story is far from over, despite completing a run.

I just don’t want to have to play it for 50 hours to feel like I got the full experience. The game has pretty significant story implications at that point that I doubt would feel rewarding if you stopped there. There is a point where you see credits, the story is "complete", and you got the full experience. If it takes 15 hours to beat the game the first time, I'd guess it's roughly another 5-10 hours to see the credits. I'd consider that 20-25 hour point to be the full experience. There's still side character story stuff that you probably haven't completed by that point, maybe haven't maxed out every character upgrade, and certainly haven't unlocked all the cosmetic upgrades, but that's definitely where Hades the 'I just want to experience what this game has to offer and I don't intend to make this a game that I speed run or experiment in for hundreds of hours' game ends. What I think makes Hades so great is that it does have that satisfying story conclusion. The gameplay is run based and has all the trappings of something that people will play over and over for hundreds of hours, but it wraps a narrative around that so convincingly and with gameplay and story additions in a structured way that you can enjoy it even if you could never get into roguelikes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

madmaltese★ 2,549 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Finished DQXI main story. Not doing any of the post game shit, there's just too much. Really is a great JRPG. Glad I got around to it before the gen ended. Started Doom Eternal Also played Ghost: Legends....how is this free? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its short but sweet, some of the later stages are platforming bliss. You should play Wipeout Omega Collection if you haven't. Blood and Truth is decent too. Sony has some solid VR first party efforts. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going on a VR binge atm so all these games are waiting to be played Some physical games are already starting to get hard to find so now's the time to buy them up. Astro Bot is just super polished and I was floored when I got to that level where you need to jump around on that moving cart, absolutely amazing 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's when the real hardcore shit kicks in, but it is another 40 hours of gameplay if you want to do everything and it does get a bit redundant. Still, you haven't really finished the story. Just saying. DOOM Eternal is fantastic, a tad too long for its own good though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ike★ 2,906 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I might be reaching my limit point in Genshin. I really don't like how the story missions are tied to adventure rank. The gameplay that's there is fun, the world is huge and gorgeous, and I love the OST. I know it's a F2P Gacha game but the progression is garbage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll probably give Ghostrunner a shot, though. Love the setting and I like short games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
