short RPG or long?

[acuben]

I really enjoy those short RPGs (especially before someone thought of save/load system or in wc3RoC or starcraft xP) mainly cause I don't have to type of those saving/loading codes, and I dont' spend too much time leveling up on same place/enemies, but it seems like most people prefer RPGs like Definace RPG - where you can save and you gotta level up for a while to beat it.

I'm working on RPG which is designed to be able to be beaten in 2~3 hours.
but it seems like these short RPGs aren't that popular anyways, let me know what you like

Like Many Maps people usually don't mind if its short or long, it depends more on whether its made good or not, Personally I like long RPG's like defiance with dungeons etc. where you can never really "beat" the game. The main problemwith save/load IMO is the bugs and such like putting your insanely long code in then it not working so you have to make a new guy, or if you type your code in wrong than you have to type it out again. Short RPG's are good to but there is always the guy who takes all the items and ruins the game for others
in the end it does come down to how well made it is to

Just so you know, if you play about 3 hours with a whole group of people in Defiance ORPG you will probably get to level 80 if no one leaves. By the way whats your Rpg about?

All the different dungeons and such are fun in defiance which is good, but it does get boring after a while
Any screenshots of your rpg available yet?

For your save load code problem you make a screen shot of it, type it in notepad and copy it and paste it into the game when playing. many people do that and its way faster.

Shorty for online games.
Long (extremely huge enormous full of campaign maps and thousands of stuff) on offline and solo RPGs.

I like longer versions of the shorter RPGs, in the sense that you can't beat them in one day but you don't spend hours in one area either. Somewhat like the Orc TFT campaign, that thing was epic, someone should re-create it for a different story!

The lenght of an RPG doesn't matter imo. The important thing is wether you can keep the fun or if it gets lost after 1 hour of playing. I personally prefer short once because long ones usually get all about farming and the enemies are boring and repetive (such as defiance RPG).

IMO is always Better Longer Rpg.I love to save and then in morning load with new group!:thup:

 

[Andyoyo]

The best rpgs have unique quests & has spells & items to look forward to getting, diversified classes & balance are really needed too
