I've been thinking along Animal Crossing New Horizons Bells these lines, too. Just prepared for something new. I have been trying to catch a PS5 or a Xbox collection X for a couple months (no luck so far). I'll still keep my Switch round for whenever BOTW2 comes out or possibly Odyssey 2 or some other very exciting games, but I'm really excited to branch out a bit and try these out Netflix-style game catalog streaming things. I believe it's where gaming is headed and it's actually consumer friendly.
(FWIW, I think Nintendo is like 30% of the way there using their NES and SNES libraries. If they added N64 and Gamecube, and keep fleshing out the collections, plus add in certain current-gen titles, it might be a pretty competitive support... but that's a very long way off, if they ever get it done...)
Just like you mention, I am also very sick of spending $60 for a 10-15 hour game. And that I have a fantastic job and salary and operate fulltime. It feels like too much.
If a match takes longer than that then the odds of me actually completing it crash. I work full time and have a pretty shitty schedule so I can only just game on the weekends the majority of the time.
I have also found that devs throw in a lot of useless filler crap or else they inflate the difficulty of the game so it takes longer because they know they'll face backlash if it's too short. I really hate feeling as if my time has been wasted.
Games that are 10 hours or less are perfect. I'll gladly spend $60 on a 8-10 hour game that's concise and does not waste my own time.
There is a couple Buy Nook Miles Ticket twitter accounts/subreddits you may follow to have upgrades on PS5 restocks!
I agree! Games that are concise and under 10 hours are a perfect fit for busy schedules. You get the satisfaction of completing them without feeling stuck in a time sink. Speaking of which, have you tried Geometry Dash? It’s a rhythm-based platformer that delivers a highly engaging experience in bite-sized levels. Perfect for weekend gaming when time is limited! 🚀 You can grab the Geometry Dash version 2.2.143 APK and enjoy its addictive gameplay—no filler, just pure fun. Highly recommend it if you're looking for something fresh and exciting
