There's plenty of jrpgs half that price point with twice the length though. Heck, even the previous GTAs have at least that length for a cheaper price, and are occasionally even cheaper now. Be patient and you'll likely even get the game given away for free.
Length =/= quality. JRPGs specially love their bloat.
Exactly
So much grinding...
Gotta like the JRPG genre for those hours to be fun, though.
I think the last major JRPG I was willing to play to completion was Final Fantasy V.
I'll play the occasional CRPG, but JRPGs aren't really my cup of tea.
Why even suggest a different genre when the man said he will enjoy it?
I'm trying to point out that i don't think that the length of a game shouldn't really be indicative of the price. I have no issue with him enjoying the game or buying it.
Pointing out a game genre with more hours of gameplay for the price is a strange way to point out game length shouldn’t matter.
He was saying that £80 was worth it cause of the amount of hours. So i brought up games with similar or more hours that are cheaper. Including prior gta games...
Yes, he made a statement. And you answered a question he didn’t ask.
I'm lucky enough to own literally thousands of games. Most of which I get at a deep discount. Games like GTA and Red Dead are usually an exception where I'll play on day one. Even though Rockstar tends to milk a title long after a release, the attention to detail is worth the price to me. I'll still check reviews first however.
