  Length =/= quality. JRPGs specially love their bloat.

  Why even compare the 2 genres?

    I’m trying to point out that i don’t think that the length of a game shouldn’t really be indicative of the price. I have no issue with him enjoying the game or buying it.

      Pointing out a game genre with more hours of gameplay for the price is a strange way to point out game length shouldn’t matter.

        He was saying that £80 was worth it cause of the amount of hours. So i brought up games with similar or more hours that are cheaper. Including prior gta games…

  There’s plenty of jrpgs half that price point with twice the length though.

  Gotta like the JRPG genre for those hours to be fun, though.

  I think the last major JRPG I played to completion was Final Fantasy V.

  I’ll play the occasional CRPG, but JRPGs aren’t really my cup of tea.

  I’m lucky enough to own literally thousands of games. Most of which I get at a deep discount. Games like GTA and Red Dead are usually an exception where I’ll play on day one. Even though Rockstar tends to milk a title long after a release, the attention to detail is worth the price to me. I’ll still check reviews first however.
