If I'm being charged $60 for a damn game, I expect AT THE LEAST 60 hours of gameplay. Unfortunately current devs and I do not see eye 2 eye on this topic.

Well you could get 60 hours of gameplay on any game really...

Just go for all achievements and try to max every possible thing in the game.

Or if the game has online, go play that and you'll easily get over 60 hours of gameplay.

Lemme guess. You watched Funhaus' podcast this morning? Because this is the exact topic that they talked about in the video.

I don't know where I stand on this topic. Just let the game be working when I turn it on. I'll be happy anyway.

I actually don't participate in the listening of pod casts. I'm just generally dissatisfied with the lack of content recently.

To be fair, most good games don't even cost $60.
I completely agree with what you're saying though. A pretty big chunk of the gaming market is solely online games, so the amount of content they actually have to put in is a lot smaller now than it was 10 years ago.

10 years ago we were playing Pac-Man and Doom on PC. The amount of content on that was like 64 kbs or less.

$60 is up there but you'll really see an eye opener to marketing when you see the Halo 5 ultimate edition. I thought I read $250 for it.. That's 2/3 a base Xbox One.

Games today have drastically improved visually but drastically downgraded mechanically.
