I can't say, it heavily depends on the game. There's lots of long games that I love, but there's also plenty of short and sweet games. Trying to blindly say that X hours is the optimum length doesn't make much sense.
Yakuza Kiwami 1, with it I'm clearing up any interesting side content that I missed. Also close to getting 100% with Sly 3.
And I've recently started with Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker. It's good so far, though I prefer the story beats from the first game.
Too late for me. I'll catch up on the announcements the next morning whilst skipping past the awards. Hopefully there'll be some good surprises to wake up to.
I'll wait for official confirmation before getting excited. Before the PS5 release, there were a lot of strong rumours saying that it would be backwards compatible with PS1 and PS2 games. Disappointing that it never happened.
@lolwhatno This game was hugely popular at launch. It was inevitable that the excitement for this game would quieten down to a more reasonable level. There's still plenty of players though, and it's nice to see the developers continue to support the game.
I kind of lost interest at Season 5. The jungle theme and its content didn't really click with me. Party Spectacular could be great, depending on the new games of course. So I'll give it a try once it's out.
Soundtrack is my biggest concern. The licensing issues are a complex area, and it would be a surprise if they managed to keep every original track. But as of now, there's no clue as to how many songs will be cut.
The Lives system was the big reason why I stopped playing the Vita game. Being expected to clear all those levels in one sitting with very limited lives just wasn't fun to me. Glad to hear this one doesn't use lives.
Deltarune Chapter 2 now that's been released. Also continuing on with Zanki Zero: Last Beginning, Persona 3 Portable, and Professor Layton and Pandora's Box.
After Geoff's promise of a character you "won't believe" coming to Super Monkey Ball, getting a perfectly believable character like Morgana is a bit disappointing.
Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth. I'm finishing off the final case. It's a good Ace Attorney game, better than I was expecting.
GTA: Chinatown Wars. Once I got used to the 2D top-down perspective, it's been fun. I've just completed the main story, though I'm not sure yet whether to go for 100% completion or not.
Earthbound. Playing through it for my very first time. It's a good RPG so far.
Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise (aka Rhythm Heaven Fever). I've cleared all the main games and final remix, so there's just a few side games left for me to check out.
I'm also in the latter parts of Okami, and in the middle of Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth.
Vice City was such a great setting in the original game. Very colourful and vibrant. As long as Rockstar nails the single player campaign, then I'll be excited for this. Not sure I like the idea of a Fortnite-style map though.
That limited movement thing is quite a cool twist for the Sloth update, though I still don't think the Season of Sin DLCs are worth the price. I'll have a go at the two elusive targets once they're available.
@get2sammyb I did read the article, that doesn't mean I agree with it. Nintendo had a great show, and Microsoft's was fairly average. The third party shows were disappointing, but I'll put it down partially due to the global pandemic over the last year.
I played it at launch, but it was sure in a bad state back then. If the patches have made things significantly better, then it's fair enough that it should be relisted in the store.
Eh, I feel like there might be a bit of bias here since Sony wasn't there. If they were there with an average show instead of Microsoft, I think this place would be singing E3's praises.
It still surprises me whenever I remember that the original game was on Game Boy Color. It can't have been easy to get it running on that system, they went all out with it.
That previous trailer was so good. That had fluid and intense combat, and seemed like it would be a lot of fun. In contrast, the battling in today's trailer just seems so bland.
There was also that 2B costume heading to Fall Guys. Nier Automata is one of my favourite games, and I do love to play some Fall Guys, so I'm excited for that.
I'll give it a watch or at least have it on in the background if I'm not too busy. There could be some interesting announcements, but I'm not expecting too much from this one.

Re: Rumour: Quantic Dream's Other Upcoming Game Based on Dark Sorcerer Demo
That's a cool tech demo. The fantasy setting would be quite a different tone to their other games, but I could see this working well.

Re: Sony Is Releasing Official PS5 Console Covers in 2022
The purple looks great, but not $55 great.

Re: Hitman 3 Will Be Getting a Second Year of Content
That was unexpected. I thinking they would wind down on the new content once the last season of sin ends.
New maps and story is great to have. And hopefully the Elusive Target Arcade will let us replay the targets as many times as we want.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 403
Still playing Persona 3 Portable, and I was planning on getting started with Yakuza Kiwami 1. Might find another game to get started on as well.
Re: Fans Lament GTA Trilogy PS5, PS4 Secrecy
Soundtrack is my biggest concern. The licensing issues are a complex area, and it would be a surprise if they managed to keep every original track. But as of now, there's no clue as to how many songs will be cut.
Re: This Is What the GTA Trilogy Looks Like on PS5, PS4
I like the art style. It keeps the original style whilst improving them. And £55 isn't really unreasonable for 3 great games.
Re: Squid Game Meets Its FMV Match in Bloodshore, Out Next Month
I'll give Squid Game a try once all the hype dies down. When it's this popular, my expectations will be set too high for it.
Bloodshore looks fun, and I do enjoy the FMV style games.
Re: Mini Review: Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania (PS5) - Sony Potassium 5
The Lives system was the big reason why I stopped playing the Vita game. Being expected to clear all those levels in one sitting with very limited lives just wasn't fun to me. Glad to hear this one doesn't use lives.
Re: Sony Fixes PS4 Internal Clock Battery Issue with Firmware Update 9.00
Good to see them resolve this issue.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 394
Deltarune Chapter 2 now that's been released. Also continuing on with Zanki Zero: Last Beginning, Persona 3 Portable, and Professor Layton and Pandora's Box.
Re: Gran Turismo 7's PS5, PS4 Campaign Requires an Online Connection
That lame. I only put up with this for Hitman as I'm super fond of that series, but I don't care about GT enough to support this practice with GT7.
Re: Hello Kitty Joins Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania as Premium DLC Character
All the DLC seems a bit much, and is kind of putting me off getting the game at launch. I might wait for a sale before getting the base game.
Re: Timothy's Night Is a Weird Noir PS5 Exclusive Platformer, And It's Out Now
Weird, but I like the style of it.
Re: Persona 5's Morgana Is Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania's Mysterious Character
After Geoff's promise of a character you "won't believe" coming to Super Monkey Ball, getting a perfectly believable character like Morgana is a bit disappointing.
Re: Weirdness: Fall Guys Cosplayer Umo to Be Immortalised In-Game After Living a Year in Costume
Oh wow, that is brilliant.
Re: Yes, Yakuza's Kiryu Will Be a Playable Character in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania
That is brilliant. That is making the game all the more tempting.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 387
Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth. I'm finishing off the final case. It's a good Ace Attorney game, better than I was expecting.
GTA: Chinatown Wars. Once I got used to the 2D top-down perspective, it's been fun. I've just completed the main story, though I'm not sure yet whether to go for 100% completion or not.
Earthbound. Playing through it for my very first time. It's a good RPG so far.
Re: Fall Guys Season 5 Introduces Limited Time Events, New Rounds, and More on PS4
Jungle is a good idea for a theme. I'll give the new stuff a try.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 385
Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise (aka Rhythm Heaven Fever). I've cleared all the main games and final remix, so there's just a few side games left for me to check out.
I'm also in the latter parts of Okami, and in the middle of Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth.
Re: Talking Point: Was Sony's Latest State of Play Livestream Any Good?
Not a lot really interested me tbh. That Lost Judgement trailer is looking great, and Moss is looking fine for the VR players, but that's about it.
Re: GTA 6 Release Window Rumours Pick Up Steam
Vice City was such a great setting in the original game. Very colourful and vibrant. As long as Rockstar nails the single player campaign, then I'll be excited for this. Not sure I like the idea of a Fortnite-style map though.
Re: Pre-Order Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut on PS Store and Play the PS4 Game Today
That's quite a neat thing to do actually. It's only another month until the Director's Cut releases, so I may as well wait for that and then play it.
Re: Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut Bundles in New Island Expansion, Coming to PS5 and PS4
Awesome. I was always eager to get the original, but never got around to it. The Director's Cut is the perfect place for me to jump into this game.
Re: Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut Gets Age Rating for PS5, PS4
Ghost of Tsushima does look great. I haven't gotten around to buying it yet, so a Director's Cut would be the perfect place for me to jump into it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 382
Finishing off Subnautica. Also starting playing the Wii games Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise and Okami.
Re: Unfinished Atari Jaguar FMV Game American Hero Coming to Console
Looks cheesy, but I'd probably quite enjoy this.
Re: Hitman 3's Season of Sloth Is Chilling on PS5, PS4 Right Now
That limited movement thing is quite a cool twist for the Sloth update, though I still don't think the Season of Sin DLCs are worth the price. I'll have a go at the two elusive targets once they're available.
Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game at E3 2021?
Despite all the complaining about E3 from this site, there's actually quite a few games here that I'd be interested in playing.
Re: Reaction: E3 Is a Relic Desperately Clinging to Relevancy
@get2sammyb I did read the article, that doesn't mean I agree with it. Nintendo had a great show, and Microsoft's was fairly average. The third party shows were disappointing, but I'll put it down partially due to the global pandemic over the last year.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Will Return to the PS Store on the 21st June
I played it at launch, but it was sure in a bad state back then. If the patches have made things significantly better, then it's fair enough that it should be relisted in the store.

Re: Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water Haunts PS5, PS4 This Year
I played this just a few months ago on Wii U. It was pretty decent overall.
Re: Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania Rolls to PS5, PS4 on 3rd October
Lovely, the Monkey Ball games do look so much fun.
Re: All Five Shantae Games Are Hair-Whipping PS5, Including the Game Boy Color Original
It still surprises me whenever I remember that the original game was on Game Boy Color. It can't have been easy to get it running on that system, they went all out with it.
Re: Babylon's Fall Gets Smashed with Dislikes Upon Its Gameplay Return
That previous trailer was so good. That had fluid and intense combat, and seemed like it would be a lot of fun. In contrast, the battling in today's trailer just seems so bland.
Re: Babylon's Fall Slashes onto PS5 as Well as PS4, But Still No Release Date
Looks alright I guess. For a Platinum game, the combat does look a bit underwhelming here.
Re: Riddle This Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One PS5, PS4 Trailer
Could be great, obviously depends on how good the writing is in the game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 380
Mostly just doing some Monster Hunter Rise and Subnautica. Might play some rounds of Fall Guys as well.
Re: Doki Doki Literature Club Plus Brings Cult Hit Visual Novel to PS5, PS4 with Extra Content
It's been on my radar for a long while now, so this seems like a good place for me to try it out.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at Summer Game Fest: Kickoff Live?
There was also that 2B costume heading to Fall Guys. Nier Automata is one of my favourite games, and I do love to play some Fall Guys, so I'm excited for that.
Elden Ring also looks excellent.
Re: Talking Point: Did Summer Game Fest: Kickoff Live Blow You Away?
It was alright. Elden Ring was great to see, and I'm eager to unlock that 2B costume in Fall Guys.
Re: Elden Ring Dated for January 2022 on PS5, PS4 in New Trailer
Okay, I'm starting to see why people were hyped for this. It's looking pretty sweet.
Re: Turn Based JRPG Monark Announced for PS5, PS4, Developed by Ex-Shin Megami Tensei Staff
This could be great, I'm cautiously optimistic about this one. The Ego system with the combat sounds like a fun twist.
Re: What Time Is Summer Game Fest: Kickoff Live?
I'll give it a watch or at least have it on in the background if I'm not too busy. There could be some interesting announcements, but I'm not expecting too much from this one.
