Keyword bolded. I've seen plenty of people who will or won't buy a game based on nothing more than its length:cost.
Edit: Should've mentioned I'm talking about core gamers here.

If you have windows running in bootcamp you could give it a try. The length of the game depends on how good you are and how fast you play it, if you want it to be a 6-8 hour game then it's possible. There's an achievement for beating it in 3 hours I believe.

Depends on your setup really.
I'm definitely going Xbox because it's hooked up to my TV and it's far easier to pick up and play that way.
Performance on a game like this is really a non issue.
If the game is as good as reviews suggest, can i ask why you are hoping for less of it?
Really rolls off the tongue doesn't it?
Ha either way it's impressive. I appreciate reviewers haven't been handing out high scores as often this gen, (or maybe there just haven't been many good ones) makes seeing high MC scores like this, Bayo 2, etc. really stick out.
Yeah maybe I'll just do it on Xbox for the achievements too. Hopefully this is one of the games that becomes cross buy wherever Windows 10 happens. This feels like the kind of game I would double dip on.

Sure, I'm not saying people don't do that. There are better ways to maximize your entertainment free time spending per hour than video games, if that's what is important.

Ehh ... not really.
TLOU: Remastered, GTAV, Diablo 3: UE, Fez, Rayman Legends, etc. are all over 90.
Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, Resogun: Defenders, Guacamalee, Towerfall, Velocity 2X, FFXIV, Rogue Legacy, Guilty Gear Xrd, Geometry Wars 3, Farcry 4, Tomb Raider DE are 85 or over.
Can't wait to pick this one up though. If I didn't have 10 games already on my purchase list I'd get it tonight but there is so much on my plate and no room for maneuvering. Maybe though ... maybe.
Almost like Trine in a way. Game was so beautiful just had to pick it up eventually. Will prob screenshot half the game as I play lol

I don't disagree, I was just pointing out that your post sounded like you were speaking for everyone!
Any information on when this is releasing on Steam? http://store.steampowered.com/app/261570/ The countdown still says 1 day 4 hours... which feels wrong considering it's the 11th in 5 hours.

This game wasn't on my radar at all, but after seeing Brad Shoemaker's extremely positive tweets, and now these reviews, I'm really excited for it.
Debating between PC and Xbox One...it's a stupid reason, but I think I'm going with the Xbox just to have something to play on it.

because i feel that a good amount of longer games overstay their welcome just so they are a bit 'longer'. i don't think many game makers have the ability to create a wonderful game that lasts 15h+ and never gets stale.
i take a well crafted game that executes one idea amazingly over 4-6h over a the same game that has more of he same for another 4-5h.
I just noticed this, huh. It's kinda funny, kinda sad. Here's hoping it's uphill from now on.
And it makes the wait for Ori even harder, won't be playing it till tomorrow.
My point was that those are all ported games from last generation with extra DLC thrown in. Incredible games/value no doubt, but all except for maybe Rayman Legends which is a tossup are products of efforts targeted at the previous generation of consoles. Obviously it's just a qualifier I threw out for fun, but Moon deserves credit where it's due.
Wonder how it will look by the end of the year and whether or not any of the big upcoming games (Witcher/Batman/Uncharted/Bloodborne/etc.) will be critical darlings like their last gen iterations.
Yep, the WiiU's great. Thanks. I'm more in tune with what's happening on the PC/PS4/XBO side of things.

Get the Xbox One version.
There is a good chance that you will get the Windows 10 version for free with crossbuy when it presumably launches on there.

I agree with you 100% here however just because a game is 12-15 hours doesn't automatically mean it's overstayed it's welcome. But I honestly can't think of many examples, for me the perfect game can be beaten in 6-8 hours. Also it's probably a lot shorter than that but the difficulty of the game probably added a few hours to the length for a lot of reviewers. There is after all an achievement that unlocks for beating the game in less then 3 hours.
That's Nintendo though. Their games are pretty much always "top of their class" in their respective genres.3DWorld has 93
Smash U has 92
Bayo has 91
MK8 has 88
Pikmin 3 has 87
If you want to make a kart racer, you look at Mario kart, if you want to make a platformer, you look at Mario, etc.

I own every single title on that list except bayonetta so I feel like I can comment on this. This might sound silly but I really feel like some of these Nintendo games are still getting rated on a last gen scale...
Of all those highly rated games I've played SM3D world is the only one I would consider a "must-play" and even then I don't think it's worthy of a 93 metacritic score.
Maybe ive just lost my appetite for Nintendo games though since MK8, Smash, And pikmin all feel so "been there done that" that it was difficult to enjoy them.
I've played all of the listed titles and the only one I'd give 90+ is Bayonetta 2, hell, it's my favorite action title.
The rest are great, but not 90+ great in my book. Also worth noting that, beside 3D World and Pikmin, none of these titles came out within the first year of WiiU's release.

I'm glad someone agrees with me lol. Anyways I feel a lot of these indie games (and remasters) are still on that old rating scale too... So it will be interesting to see how this turns out once I play it and if it's as fun and profound as some of the reviewers are saying.
I'm saying that if someone owns a 360, SF4 and is a fan of fighting games, I don't know if KI was the game to sell Xbox One's even though it's a good game because $500 was a lot of money back at its release... There's more to being a Killer App than just being a good game.
When I think Killer App, I think of exclusives at the time like Gears of War, Uncharted 2, God of War 3, and Mass Effect, etc. Ratchet and Clank: ACiT is an absolutely brilliant game that received high accolades and provided one of the best single player experiences last gen. It was not even close to being a killer app though.

But it won't be playable at 5pm PDT, We'll have to wait a few more hours. Am I wrong?
StudioTan
Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
It'll be playable immediately. Also you should be able to start playing before the entire download is finished.

The default release time on Steam is US Pacific Time at 10am.
Not whatever time it becomes the release day in your region.
Fake edit: But the current countdown of one day and approximately three hours implies a release at 4pm PDT.

disagree and i would put DK in he 90+ category, nothing on XB1/PS4 came even close.

I'm going PC. Because a couple of years down the line, you can just play it from your steam account and not have to hook up the system to play it.

Thanks!
We are live streaming the game right now, showing mostly the beginning

Well, that's kind of implied. $20 is a great price for a good game that you will play for 12-15 hours. That better?

Hey ho here we go, let's play some more!
This game just keeps getting better and better. I just unlocked the Dash move, which is basically a game changer in terms of traversal AND combat.

music and visuals alone are an 11 from me.
well technically, a couple years down the line this $20 game will probably be $4 during a Steam Sale.
Case in point though yeah, never have to hook up the system again
