[steam deal] prey deluxe 80% off

27h includes the dlcs

Nope. Extras adds anything that isn't the core story and the linear path. Considering it's an Arkane game, that's the entire point of their immersive sims.

44h+ is probably for completionists or people who leave the game running while doing something else.

Interesting way to stretch out the definition to kill any reason that people actually play games and that games take time to complete.

I do think that beating a 20h game in 2-3 weeks is not only very doable, but I also see multiple people doing it every single month.

Depends if those people have the 5 hours per day needed to do that, yeah (or the 7h if you're actually playing the immersive sim like an immersive sim). Not everyone is unemployed or lacks literally anything else to do in a month or has enough energy at the end of the week to just start going through a single game for an entire month's span. Perhaps I'm alone in that I don't want to play only one game at a time.

Again, the deal's reasonable for many. But saying that getting a subscription that's only a couple bucks cheaper than what you want to play is better for most is a bit of a stretch. You don't own your game, you can't play it in the future, unless you fork out more cash and odds are you might not even have the time to finish the game, which means that you're going to have to spend another fiver, which makes this deal immediately worse for you. So your entire pitch relies on the fact that people will finish the game in a single month and that they never want to play the game again.

Thanks and np, well usually it's save the kingdom/princess and get the 4 elemental pieces blah blah blah, but dunno about your age but yeah if you been into gaming for over 25 years then you pretty much heard and seen every story possible already.
And grinding, they give you some hard boss and try tackling it or just grind level after level till you become stronger and try again.

I got a Nintendo Switch a few months ago and i played the usual games (Kart, New Super Bros and Smash) all games that been on previous Nintendo consoles too and usually i was still like yeah a new one, but now i am also like how many times haven't i been here already? And it's a bit boring.

Now 4 laps of Mario Kart at one time is already more then enough while i used to try getting A's or whatever on all levels for hours.
And since most of the other good games are also on the PC i don't have much reason to touch the switch (it's only good really to pass an hour before bedtime or sit in the garden with it).

Couldn't you just have grinded more to kill Sephiroth?
I had Final Fantasy 8 on the playstation 1 (ugh the long loading times) been stuck and given up around disc 3, 2 times till i actually finished it on pc the third time.
Not sure about replaying 7 again with that whole remastered one.

But maybe that's just it that we are getting older too and got less patience for such things (as life is getting shorter and time become more precious) oir shorter attention spans. :p

Sooo.... if they are trendy, does that mean that I'm finally one of the cool kids?

Thought the policy was you could refund any game, so long as it was under a specified amount of time played.

"Had" ;)

Cpu wasn't denuvo fault as Tzaar wrote and as it goes for disk they changed some algorithms to avoid problems on ssds. So if You want to quote me than look which time I use.

Yea and nothing changed, only that when denuvo is broken by crackers studios remove it from games only to not pay for usage of denuvo ;p
