Video game length

Posted on September 29, 2003 @ 09:54 in Games

There's an interesting thread on Slashdot Games about whether the length of video games differs between US/European games or releases and Asian/Japanese ones. There's some fluff in the thread (what else you'd expect?), but there are also some interesting observations about possible cultural differences or differing expectations of games. An interesting question for instance is, whether Japanese games commonly expect the player to play through the game several times to unlock more features, or if this form of play is tied to the type/genre of game.

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
