5 HOURS

5 HOURS

For what?

yes elaborate.

For OP to finally kill himself and stop making shit threads on Sup Forums

That's actually kind of long for a classic Sonic game.

Is Sonic 3 and Knuckles even 5 hours? That shit feels like forever.

0/10 bait

3&K is something like 100-120 minutes long.
An hour is about as long as arcadey action can be experienced before it starts to wear you down and multiple sittings start to become necessary.
It's not a coincidence 3&K added a save feature.

Sonic 3 and Knuckles is like 7

No it isn't

When will this "game length = quality" meme die?

Most of the best classics can be beaten in a few hours, if that.

What? Are you taking nearly 10 minutes for every single act including Hidden Palace, getting all emeralds and super emeralds and taking your time in the special stages, counting playing as Sonic, Tails, Sonic+Tails, and Knuckles all together, and counting playing through the 2 player levels?
How could it be 7 hours?

>5 hours
>7 hours
that's some slowdown, i tell ya what

S3&K is barely two hours long. And that's if you do everything in a single run.

Shouldn't that be a good thing a game where you need to go fast?

>the arcade like video game that you pick up and put down and probably (for their sake) has high replay can be finished in one sitting

Oh no it's almost like they made a video game and not a fucking novel.

Five hours to what?

Who are you talking to? Nobody in the thread is saying short length is bad.

that's fine, the other sonic games were maybe only 2 hours or so long it just has to be good

More like an hour long. I wouldn't have it any other way. Why would you want a game that forces you to sit there and complete it in one five hour go? That is stupid.

I really doubt you could beat a sonic game in under an hour they aren't that short

It's strange how games have to be a billion hours to satisfy you people. Especially since you're older now and don't have as much time for games like a kid.

I am sure you can beat Sonic The Hedgehog in around 60 minutes, give or take a few minutes.

Plus games with long playtimes are usually full of repetitive or low quality content, or, at best, lengthy non-gameplay story content.
About the only genres that can achieve long playtimes without this are puzzle games where you spend a lot of time staring at the problem trying to understand what to do, and strategy games.

Around 6 hours if you play the game with all 3 characters that is

5 hours is too fucking long for a game like this
Leave that to 2D Mario games which are mostly filled with filler shit

DON'T SAY THAT! Honestly I felt the same with a lot of SNES games, Super Mario, Donkey Kong Country, and so on. I prefer games that only have a single sitting in mind rather than a long drawn out game with a save system.

>Game is challenging
>A 5 hour game becomes 20
WOW IT'S ALMOST AS IF THIS GAME IS MEANT TO BE A THROWBACK TO CLASSIC GAMES WHICH COINCIDENTALLY WERE SHORT AND CHALLENGING

...

5 hours?

Not the point though
They're just different kind of style of games(more quantity and less focused/more slow paced)
The NSMB games take it too far though and feel like a bunch of shit and same goes for the Rayman Origins games
Super Mario World was cool tho

I don't mind a save system
Sonic 2 could have used one for Super Sonic

Thought it was delayed

Also non-special edition switch cartridge when?

Sonic and Tails are too similar to consider them distinct, imo.
Knuckles at least plays differently with his shorter jump, glide, and climbing, having entire paths through about half the acts to himself, having upgraded versions of boss fights, and having totally different Marble Garden and final boss fights.
