re: How long should a game be?

Length of the game doesn't matter to me. I had far more fun with MadWorld (3 hours at most) than I ever did with Dragon Age. As long as the story is quality and I feel like I got value out of my purchase, I'm good. Aiming for some arbitrary length or benchmark can hurt the game if forced.

The length is tied to cost for me, for full price I still want at least 15-20 hours, but for $15 I am not expecting that. There are some $15 games like The Long Dark that isn't even finished yet and I already have 15-20 hours in.

Journey can be beaten in one sitting, roughly 2 hours, but I had more fun with that game than all 10 hours combined of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, which is roughly when I gave up on it and decided I don't like Assassin's Creed games.
Now would I pay 60 bucks for Journey? No, but I think I'd be fine buying it for $20 or $25. I'm pretty sure I paid $15. (I didn't pay full price for Black Flag, thankfully, but I know many did.)
