If I were to value entertainment by "lenght" or "time spent playing per dollar" I guess I would have no choice but grind for hours on end in some stupid MMORPG to get the "most gaming value" LOL.

This is an amusing post considering where we are. Freespace 2 with what has been done here is the perfect blend of entertainment, longevity and value for money.

Me personally, I always target longevity and entertainment in my games.

Hah Freespace 2, point taken. ;)


Anyways... just wanted to point out, personally... I see nothing wrong with spending 20 bucks on a game that is trying something different. The contrary... there is the hope that by spending money on it... the people who made it will be encouraged to make more games that dare to break the usual mold.

Longevity is a secondary issue, at least to me. There are too many good games and way too little free time. ;)


Yes, I can get down with that. For the first time I was sad about not buying a game because it was short recently after watching Asura's Wrath on Youtube. I felt such an original and fantastic game deserved something. I'm not buying it though, it's also a game where gameplay takes a back seat to the story and I just don't buy those either. I know for some story is first consideration even if gameplay is weak.

Obviously a bad game is a bad game no matter how long it is (hello Unlimited Saga you enormous piece of worthless garbage) but I love being able to get a game which I can just squeeze months and months of gameplay out of, if not longer. They all cost the same, yet some are done with in 6 hours, others in 6 months, some you'll still be coming back to on and off after 6 years. And I predict this right here, Freespace 2 will easily be one of those in my collection.
