I think it just depends on whether you feel like the game is respecting your time or not.
A long game that’s eating up time with boring random encounters, fetch quests, grinding that you don’t enjoy, and so on? Ain’t got time for that, I’ll play something else.
But a long game where I’m enjoying near every minute and every aspect, like an RPG that’s been crafted absurdly well and isn’t filled with bloat and has fun combat in every encounter? I’m all in for that.
I think the issue is mainly that for obvious reasons there are FAR more of the former than the latter, even before accounting for personal taste.
For me it’s more that I forget where I was and what I was up to, as well as having to reacquaint myself with the controls. Shorter games don’t have that problem.
simultaneous two-player jrpg where each of us plays our own character following our own story-line but our story lines intertwine throughout the game. either of us can jump in, play our story, grind, etc, and sometimes we can’t progress without the other person. sometimes we have to team up to defeat bosses, etc. but ultimately it’s a single world and requires both of us to play to beat the game. once beaten, we can replay as the other character to experience the game anew
Here is my idea massive multiplayer ; from the top you have civilization game feeding strategic objective to a command and conquer player who’s feeding tactical objectives to battlefield players. You could branch out to integrated logistic games with the same kinds of levels. From factories to train tycoon to truck simulator.
A true investigative horror experience that requires actual deduction. Phasmophobia is kind of close, but I’m talking about real investigative work with a multitude of threats all around the world. Xcom, mixed with SCP and Phasmophobia.
I miss a modern alternative to PlaystationHome. Something that is not really a full game by itself, but just a space to hang around in with other gamers. VRChat, SecondLife and a few other things go into that direction, but what made PlaystationHome special is that it wasn’t just a public place to meet up, but also doubled as advertising platform. Every major game release would get its own special room with mini games and stuff, you had movie theaters showing trailers, special rooms when E3 took place and all that kind of other stuff.
Browsing around the Steam Store just can’t compare to an actual 3D space you can walk around in and explore with your avatar.
