Re: Talking Point: How Many Hours Is A 'Short' Game For You?

Really subjective question, as others have said, genre plays a part.

Whilst waiting for Metroid Dread to be released, I played Inside over a couple of days, it took be around 4 hours to complete, i'd consider that a short game.

My in game clock for Metroid Dread is approaching 9 hours and I haven't finished yet, currently battling the flying bug boss...I wouldn’t consider Metroid Dread a short game. I put 50 hours into Zelda Skyward Sword, I'd consider that a long game.

Re: Random: 'Switch Vs Steam Deck' Memes Are A Thing Now, Apparently

@Lordplops What do you think are great numbers? can it sell 80m units? is 5m units an amazing success?

Is there a scenario where this has a negative impact on the Switch? I'm looking at it thinking that even though they are handhelds, they are aiming at different markets? This isn't the same as Sony releasing another handheld, or am I getting this wrong?

@Iggy-Koopa I think you're 100% right, MAYBE we get a progress update, but that's it. I'd be disappointed if there wasn't something metroid related at E3 though, assuming the 2D game rumours are true.

Maybe this is the beginning of a year of metroid announcements? 2D metroid announced now for later in the year, Metroid Prime trilogy announced before christmas for 1st half of next year and MP4 at E3 next year for the holiday game or early 2023?
