Ex-CDPR devs' new open-world vampire RPG [Blood of Dawnwalker] is aiming for "the quality level of The Witcher 3," but since it's a smaller studio, only about a 30-40 hour campaign (www.gamesradar.com)

To be honest, I'm kind of over 200h behemoths anyway. A concise, focused, high-quality 20-40h experience is kind of optimal I think. Every time as of late that I start a massive game (thinking I'd be really into it and feeling hyped!) I just end up burnt out by the 75% mark and having to force myself to finish it, actively resenting it as I press through to see the credits.

Exactly this. I liked witcher 3 but I can never bring myself to replay it because of the time commitment. I replayed Witcher 2 a dozen times and its a tight 30 hours.

I don't mind long games but if it's an RPG with branching story lines I think I would prefer a shorter game that I could replay. I always want to replay RPGs to see the different paths but never do cause they are insanely long and I don't want to devote my existence to one game even if it's amazing

only? 30-40 hours is still pretty damn long ...

Just hope this game can rise above the anti woke mob. Saw them flooding the trailer comments section because finally! A game that has a white man in it! Woke cdpr would never!

Maybe anti-wokes can play other games in the mean time. But, wait a minute, the entire industry is woke. There are no games where you play as a white man, right? Right?

[–] apotheotic 3 points 2 weeks ago

White men are the most underrepresented demographic, notoriously

As it should be lets get back to Artists and programmers making games not marketing and HR

That's a longer campaign than any competitive multiplayer and lots of RPG games out there.
