Is it just me or are the newest resident evil games too long?

If anything, they're too short...

just you

Yea I want racoon city to just keep generating

I definitely feel like resi7 overstayed it's welcome

I agree with you op

According to howlongtobeat the main campaign takes 11-14 hours to complete. That's inline with most RE entries and shorter than some, like RE4.

You also play as Leon half of the time - that's supposed to be more action and less horror.

Nah they're the right length, any longer and they'd get boring. I'm sick of these bloated 50+ hour games nowadays.

this is the dumbest take I have seen in a while, Congratulations

RE9 took like 20 hours tops to beat, not exactly bloated there..

This has nothing to do with length. Basically every resident evil game sticks in the 10-12 hour range, with rare exceptions going up to 15-16 (I think 6 is the only one that averages around 20).

This has to do with design. I like Requiem a lot, but the back half of the game is definitely a step down from the first half. A lot of Resident Evil games follow similar patterns I think. The first half is better, but usually the second half involves some sort Umbrella facility that’s just much less interesting than whatever the game starts off with.

I dunno about you but I like getting value for my money.

I've never got how people think that way about any game really, especially linear games that eventually have an ending. If you can only play a few hours a week you have a game to last you months.

Some people spend a lot longer per day gaming and your 3 weeks or months is their 3 days or a couple of weeks on something really long. Those people buy more games and if there's not 30 or more hours in it there doesn't seem to be value for money when you've played games that do have potential for 60 hrs plus.

I'll be interested in a game I can spend more time on and it'd have to be unbelievable for me to be interested if I can complete it in under 20hrs.. and if it's really good... the more of it the better.

I was gutted when I realized I wasn't going to get to really play as Aya at the end of 70+ hrs on AC Origins and I'd still pay for an expansion pack that made it possible and had even 20hrs more content.
