100 hours is "super short" game length now. Now I've heard everything.
My steam:
Company of heroes 2 2445 hours
Civilization 5 2380 hours
Civilization 6 1250 hours
Squad 1060 hours
Those games replayability is higher and my point is baldurs gate 3 has potential for that too with very little efford. But if the budget is being spent on huge amount of movies that player only enjoys watching 1-2 times rather than gameplay content, i think its not something that players are hoping for. How many of you would be ready to sacrifice 200 hours of content for big amount of cinematics that you only enjoy once or twice and after that you want to skip them
I personally don't want them to cut the cinematic scenes or make less of them, and I already see a huge replay-potential in BG3 compared to DOS2. I mean, I made another character pretty much identical to my first one after realizing I had f*ked up big time with my build (be patient with me, I am learning
) and even though I tried to make all choices the same - a lot of the content was COMPLETELY different for me during the second time. And we're seriously just talking about top 10-20 hours in. I found so many things that I completely missed on my first try even though I am the type of player to explore every inch of an area before leaving.
And... How can you compare games like Civilization to RPGs? O.O Civilization is supposed to be more of a lobby-type game where you play a match trying to best your opponents one way or another - the game has NOTHING in common with RPGs except for the turn-based strategy in BG3. >.< The games are simply not comparable to one another. That's like me saying "Hey! I spent thousands of hours on Warframe, I should be able to do so on BG3 as well"...
Obviously, there are people such as yourself who can spend thousands of hours playing games like Civ. Meanwhile, there are people with equal amounts of time spent in RPGs - I have some friends with absolutely ridiculous amounts of time in games like Skyrim, Witcher, Dragon Age, you name it...
I mean, I personally loved DOS2, but I didn't really feel like replaying it - but my parents, on the other hand, are about 500-700 hours into DOS2 by now, they love replaying it to the point where they never actually finished act 2 xD ... YEAH, YOU READ THAT RIGHT (I can't even imagine what they will be like when they get BG3, they've already ordered a 5e DnD rule book to read through
<3 ). It seriously doesn't matter when I call my father (yes, I am the type of person that calls my parents pretty much daily), he is almost always testing out a new and new setup and you can really hear how much thought and planning he has put into it. :'D
