I didn’t mind how long it was, I only disliked many of the Atreus sections. Don’t get me wrong, They were great the first time around from a story perspective….but I’m reluctant to replay it since you are not doing much in those sections and they can’t be skipped. The same goes for Spider-Man(1) and all those MJ mini missions😢

Oh my gosh, I thought I was the only one who felt that the end felt rushed!!! I felt like there was a twist around the corner, the way it was moving so quickly!

I see what you did there

I'm 100+ hours into Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and I'm only at Chapter 6 of the 10 chapters of the storyline. I'm loving every second of it, but... yeah, I get it.

With so many rpgs, many crpgs, online rpgs, arpgs, jrpgs, you, yourself probably havent got the time to even play video games because of playing video games.

As a P5R platinum guy, I agree. Long can be just what I ordered!

​@@guillepankeke2844the playlist is hundreds deep now. Always growing faster than I play them. Doesn't stop me from trying ! 😂

I have to take breaks from my longer RPGs. I usually have 3-4 of them going at a time just to keep from getting bored of the grind in one game. That's not including the other games I sprinkle in as well

I'm just glad you don't have to slowly climb through rubble to go to the next screen. Those masked loading segments probably took up half of FF 7 RE's game time.

I don’t think that’s an unpopular opinion. Just as many loved it and it has a good chance for GOTY. It fully deserves the 92 metacritic score.

The mini games outside of the Gold Saucer and before being patched just made me repeatedly say, "I'm not having fun anymore." I actually turned the game to easy as well to finish Sephiroth because of that horrible final move of his and the sliver of time given to stop it. I just wanted the game's ending and later, I'll go back and do it properly, probably with my hard mode run. But by the time I finished Rebirth, I just felt exhausted and I hate to say that. I will defend most things FF7 related till my dying breath and yet Rebirth...Rebirth might be my one exception. Still enjoyed it overall, but I think I almost prefer Remake, even with its linearity and padding.

A weird comparison for me to read. I absolutely hated Assassin’s creed which became repetitive. Never felt that with Rebirth. Sure it’s got a huge amount of mini games but they are some absolute bangers and I can skip most of them and continue the main story. The side quests are excellent and develop the characters and world well. And the combat is deep and rewarding. FF16 on the other hand, has some of the most mundane side quests I’ve ever experienced that overstay their welcome. It’s starts out a lot of fun, excellent Voice acting and world building, but the combat did become repetitive . It needs to be more challenging with RPG elements and upgrades included to add depth and longevity.

Ghost of Tsushima is definitely a good example how to do it right. Square and Ubisoft always seem too occupied with bloating the game to make it larger instead of making it more memorable

Honestly can’t remember how far I had gotten in that game, but I at least knew I was miles away from finishing when I finally looked up where I was/what I was stuck on. Also remembered I stepped away from the game and had no concept of what all the skills were when I came back.

I got stuck and never had the desire to ever go back. I still don't see why people adore the game, other than the art style. Even before I got stuck, I was rather bored.

Lol, I have to deduct all of the hours I allowed the game to sit idle while I did something else as otherwise, it says I spent 160+ hours on the game. I'd say realistically...probably 70? And I still haven't completed everything (and probably never will, given the difficulty for me with the piano game).

I have 56 hours and I just got to chapter 10. I can’t play it anymore-I’m completely burned out.

​​@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValleythe in-game timer actually pauses if you are in the menu and let it sit idle for 2 minutes. It'll turn gray and stop counting

@@OversoulGaming I'm usually not in the menu when I stop, just somewhere safe where I know enemies won't get me or I've defeated the enemies around me.

@@erakfishfishfish I'll go ahead and spoil it that there are only 14 chapters in Rebirth, so you're close to the end. You've got this. Take a breather though if you need it.

It's more like the chances of it never getting completed go up the longer the game is. You have to have a schedule that lines up where both people want to play

@FaithOriginalisme fair but my point is that just because not everyone is interested in long running 2 player games doesn't mean they just shouldn't make them, not everyone wants to play mmo games constantly but there is a plethora of them to choose from and it sucks that the single player/ online community is catered to so much more often than people who want to play games together with friends through a campaign or story of some sort

​@tommystrickland6268 But Jules makes a valid point that It Takes Two really lends itself to being a 2 player co-op game for gamers to bring their non-gamer partners in to play. Being that it's so lengthy, I'm sure a lot of partners found it a chore to want to finish it.

@@tommystrickland6268 oh yeah, i found it to be just a little too long myself, but even the too long bits were great. That's one of the coolest games ever made and more co-op games like that should exist

@@FaithOriginalisme I agree

They had to patch at the very least Fort Condor, but I did try the double fight of Bahamut Arisin and Titan and that was just brutal, lol. I did realize from it that I hadn't maxed out all of my weapon skills though, so I went and did that, but it was still brutal. Bahamut Arisin on his own was a tough fight so pairing them together is harsh. But at least those are more optional than any side quest that then also keeps you from getting skill points for the characters.

Not for me. I absolutely loved all of 16. It was Rebirth I couldn't stand.

Same. The extremely mundane side quests opening up everywhere didn’t help. That game should have cut a lot of that content and it would be a far better experience for many. Combat needed some RPG status effects or something to encourage the player to explore more as there is a lot of potential there. I would have loved the world having secrets hidden in it to find or having meaningful upgrades. Rebirth may have too much content for some, but it’s a much better Final Fantasy IMO. A shame it’s not selling well apparently.

@@zacarybruner2600 Everyone is different I guess. I was the opposite. Love Rebirth, FF16 felt like DMC, not FF. Practically no magic or summons? Not FF IMO! Side quests in FF16 were incredibly boring and mundane.

They literally troll the player when they implied that you had to lure it back into the village. Even the fiend popped out to save you from that bs.

If you believe the shared souls universe theory then Demons Souls too

Far Cry 5 fits here, as the only good ending is refusing to even begin and set the game’s events into motion. It’s a shame such a great game got such a meh sequel.

Yeah the plot beats were all over the place

There's 1 part in Final Fantasy 15. That one boss takes hours.

I see why you married her

She loves it when a fart coms together like that.

My only complaint with it was the final battle in Asgard felt rushed. They could’ve fleshed it out a bit more.

Far from a masterpiece... I'm playing it again and it's amazing how dull it all is when you know what happens in the story, at no point does the player think anything else will happen than Odin dies and Kratos wins

Sounds super smart and honest.

I just spent 100+ hours on Rebirth alone, do not complain to me about it not being a complete game.

@@Xone9 Padding, the story continues on from part 1, into part 3, not complete.

@Pillock25 Yeah, I've heard all of the BS excuses. It's like saying Fellowship of the Ring isn't a complete movie.

I still think it's a bit rich, dividing a game up into 3 parts and charging over $100 a pop, when once it was a single game. I hope this isn't a trend that catches on.

Nah

To this day I still haven't completed Witcher 3 and probably never will. After a while it just bored the arse off me tbh. It's extremely well written but god almighty it drags on and on and on ha ha

Spoilers I guess but, I got all the way to killing 2 of the witches of crook back bog then I was supposed to meet with Cirilla and..... Something happened to the save and I had to start over for a third time

@@bricktop. Meanwhile, I have finished it completely, including side stuff... TWICE haha, game is amazing,

@@bricktop. A lot of the of side quests aren't need to complete the game though

That's because Witcher 3 isn't too long.
