What game surprised you with their length? (lemm.ee)

We know that certain games are big, like BG3 or Persona 5. But recently games like FF7 rebirth and Indiana Jones just kept going on and on past "Act 3". Also Rise of the Golden Idol seemed a little short to me

Are developers getting more efficient with generating content?

I just finished The Veilguard at 68 hours. I loved it, but haven't played Origins. I bought it, but refunded after I saw how buggy and unsupported it is on new hardware these days. Maybe they'll have a remaster some day, since everyone seemed to love it.

It probably wouldn't be too resource intensive to run it on an XP virtual machine. You'll want a version that runs on its own, though (no game store launcher, drm, etc)

What problems did you have with it? Still runs surprisingly well for me. Haven't tried Veilguard yet, but plan to as soon as I have some time. Felt that none of the sequels where able to match Origins yet, though.

Well, it crashed on launch, for one. I saw there's a '4GB' fix, but that doesn't let me launch from steam, and I wanted to stream to the steam deck, where I do almost all my gaming these days.

I really loved Veilguard, but I've definitely seen people who played Origins complain about it. I thought the characters, story, and combat were fantastic though.

Well, people love to complain. I didn't feel Inquisition was as good as Origins, but I still had fun with it, and I assume the same is gonna be true for Veilguard.

Anyways, that's curios. I think the Dragon Age Games are some of the few I own on Origin. I'd be kinda surprised if EA made the effort to patch the games on their own client, though.

Might try running it tomorrow, out of curiosity.

I just started Inquisition. I'm looking forward to learning more about the characters that appear in the Veilguard.
