I think it should have around 40 hours... So we can have great experiences and all...

 

 

What do you think?

Anywhere from 10-20 hours is good enough for me. It's not often you find a game that borders 40+ hours, other than RPGs, so it's silly to say that 40 hours is the PERFECT length for a game. Anything under 10 hours feels way too short. 10 hours seems to be the standard length for most games, so that's my minimal expectation.

I love long games as long as the story is good and it has decent graphics. It took me 5 months to beat KH Re-Coded. Maybe that's just because of my lack of time and skills. I hate short games it's seems like a waste of money when they only last a day.

21-40 i believe should be a length of a great video game http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png (i dislike it when a game is so quick to finish xP, i made an exception for Batman Arkham City and asylumn because they were so awesome http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png)

A good game in my opinion should last about 30 hours minimum, have an exhilarating plot line, great graphics and gameplay, and just be all-around fun. anything less than that is usually garbage, even if it is in a series i like.

Over 80 hours,I like long games like Final Fantasy,I like that feeling when I finally beat those long and challenging games with such deep stories,I'm like: ''WOW!! finally,I sure haven't waste my money on this''.There is a real feeling of achievement to me after beating a FF,unlike short games like Sonic colors,Super Mario galaxy 1 & 2,Metroid other M,when I beat these 10 hours games I'm like: ''That's it?...hmmm...that was good...but way too short'' .As for 30-40 hours games like Zelda or Kingdom Hearts I have no problem with them,but I prefer 80 and more.

The only games I can think of that would extend for 80+ hours are the Pokemon games (The main series black, white, platinum etc.) and some of the Final Fantasy Games. Those games are, in my opinion, some of the best that I have ever played... so I have to go with 80 hrs. 25-40 to beat the main story and then many more hours fully leveling up the characters and finishing it 100%

tutti frutti. Much like what Sora96 and VentusRoxas, to me it depends on the game. So long as I find the game great enough to enjoy, such as KH2 for example, then I would be content with it being roughly 40 - 60+ hours to get everything in the game. But I guess it would also be on how the game came together as a whole, on top of the game.

I love my games to be long and interesting but I dont like to rush through them. I use to do that but now I savor the experience. One of the main reasons I love the Kingdom Hearts series is because the games are lengthy but not long enough. Has anyone played a Tales game, like tales of vesperia, or tales of the abyss? Those games are long as hell and its awesome! I wish each game of Kingdom hearts was as long as one of these games, it would satisfy me even more <3
