10 Great Video Games That Are WAY Too Long

10. Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth

After 20 years and almost 20 games, you'd think Like A Dragon (originally known as Yakuza) would be out of steam.

But considering the most recent instalment, Infinite Wealth, is among the few games to receive a perfect score from Famitsu, the wacky mob saga is looking to be stronger than ever. 

Which is ironic since the latest entry suffers from a shameless amount of bloat. From beginning to end, the game is filled with overly long cutscenes and drawn-out exposition. Though these sections can be skipped, you'll miss out on integral plot points. 

As can be expected from Like a Dragon, Infinite Wealth has a bunch of mini-games and side-quests, including treasure hunts, photo missions, and delivery tasks. Although similar bonus features appear in previous instalments, they're usually for hardcore players since they take hours to accomplish. However, several mini games tie directly to the central characters, compelling you to take part in them to get the full experience. 

Also, the random encounters become disproportionately tough later on, so you'll be forced to grind if you don't take part in these so-called voluntary missions.

Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth is superb, but the way it artificially lengthens the main campaign is annoying.
