Surprised so many people are confused on why someone might think more content is a good thing.

None of the replies to you seem confused. People seem to be fine with the route they took of 30 hour main story but dozens of hours of extra content. More content is always good, I prefer its optional as it’s less likely to seem like a dragging story and more sandbox like.

I’ll be dead for at least 30 hours. I expect to get a good solid 283 hours out of this before finally not dying all the time.

This is me playing these games encountering the first boss...

Brain: Ok, he's doing his special attack. Hands dodge left.
Brain: Hands please dodge left now.
Brain(panicking): Hands, dodge, dodge, dodge
Monster swings and kills me.
Hands: Message received, dodging left now.
Brain: I'm too old for this shit.

Finds another game and turn difficulty to story mode.

Can't solidarity this hard enough. I LOVE the Pathfinder games, but around the 30-40 hour mark I'm ready for it to be over. It really shouldn't take 80 hours to tell a good story, especially in the age of voice acting and cinematics.

Pathfinder me harder daddy

When I introduce people to DS1 I make sure to tell them the intended path is through the catacombs :)

I went through the catacombs my first time.

I had played demon souls and all the kings field games prior so I knew Fromsoftware liked letting people walk into bullshit.

It was "fun", rest of the game felt much more relaxed after all that.

Now the ghosts in the flooded city on the other hand....

I think because if the game is as good as everyone is hoping, they want it to last forever.
Simple answer but this is precisely why ppl want Elder ring to be 100+ hours.

On pc you can grab it for 50$ here : Green Man Gaming
(trusted retailer, keys come directly from publishers)

Lowest price on this website was 47.99 $

I think people THINK they want this. But it's precisely because the game didn't overstay its welcome that it was such a good experience. You keep stretching that out, hour after hour, and it starts losing its luster. I much prefer FromSoftware start working on the next Bloodborne, or Sekiro, Dark Souls, Elden Ring 2, etc., personally.

Like the cliche goes, show me the hottest woman in the world and I'll show you the guy tired of her shit. There is such a thing as "too much of a good thing".

Yep! Precisely why I like shows like Ozark,, Breaking bad, etc - 5 seasons tops, a clear beginning, awesome ride, and satisfying ending. Otherwise, the game gets fucking Dextered.
