10 Video Games That Were Too Damn Long

If there's one thing that Final Fantasy XV does right it's building an incredible sense of camaraderie between Noctis and his team of J-pop boy band party members. This works at its best when players venture out across vast and beautiful landscapes, camp with their crew, and overall experience one of the most heartwarming and anime-esque road trips ever committed to a hard drive. Which makes it all the more devastating when that freedom is ripped away.

Final Fantasy XV stumbles hard and never recovers once it frantically tries to explain exactly what the hell is going on. Before the final quarter of the game players are rarely asked to care about the plot or anything really beyond their friends and their car. So when they're thrust into a poorly designed Metal Gear Solid style linear stealth trek through a bland and lifeless fortress, it's not hard to see how they lose interest.

Instead of being treated to comical hijinks involving Ignus and his cooking, or Prompto and his awful selfies, the game sits you down and demands that you listen to it ramble on about ancient kings and prophecies. Like it's suddenly became your grandad who can't seem to remember exactly what happened in the good old days, but he's sure it's important.
