Kind of a hot take here for me.
- I looked up the source, those are "popular" games, and not the "most completed games on PS4". So, we should be talking about "big AAA first party games" instead of "video games" in general https://twitter.com/danthat/status/1315326836713435138
- One issue I have with that list is that they don't even require the same time to finish them. FF7 takes about 33hours, Spider Man 16hours, Uncharted Lost Legacy 7 hours, RDR2 nearly 50 hours! So...
- Yes, there is a debate to be had about some games being too long
especially with open-world ones, but I'm pretty sure that's not the issue here. (cf. the huge backlog on steam for a lot of people)
- Let people enjoy things how they want. There are people who don't feel the need to finish their games, for a million different reasons.
I personally try to finish most of the games I play. But other players are different, and that's fine.
- There are a bazillion new games coming out every week, and there are people who always want to buy new games instead of trying to finish their previous ones. And that's fine.
If some people want to buy new games to escape the realities of the outside world, it's not a crime if they don't finish them.
- And yes, some games are long, because AAA games are expensive, (heck, videogames are expensive!), and there are people thinking "If I have to invest
so much money in a product, I should be able to enjoy it for more than a couple of days".
Anyway, this thread has been going on for too long. So, tl;dr: the list doesn't make sense, it's not a crime not to finish a game, and yes there's a debate to be had about the topic.
