Price too much for a 2-hour game

[talloyer]

(UPDATE):

Amnesia: The Bunker is finally out and regional price (R$ 72,99), while relatively cheap, much cheaper than the usual R$ 249,90+ nowadays, still feels expensive for such a short game as this. And although Amnesia: The Bunker is made with replayability in mind, it is not compelling enough to me to replay it over and over, not with its restrictive gameplay, unless it had robust New Game+ with lots of secrets and extra rewards, even for storyline... 50% discount should suffice to me.

Yes, I know the first run is supposed to last longer than 2 hours, but even so it is still short, Crative Lead Frederik Olsson claimed it lasts about 4-6 hours, which is stll short. This game better be cheap, especially in my country or Frictional Games will only get my money in a nice deal!
But I will update this topic and title when the actual price comes out. At least there is no pre-order BS this time.

It's $24.99. Frictional Games said so on Twitter.

Hi, I updated my topic!

Yeah your topic makes no sense.
Even the demo alone got me around 1 hour of playtime and I didn't even fully explore that one.
These non-commentary videos are usually rather short and NEVER reflect the actual gametime for a first playthrough.

Take SOMA; for example. The first playthrough should take around 8-10 hours. Non-commentary videos for that game are as short as 5 hours.

Or look at Amnesia: The Dark Descent. The first playthrough should take around 8 hours. Non-commentary videos for that game are as short as 3 hours.

These videos are never accurate for an actual, blind first playthrough. I'd say wait until more people have played it and have a look at https://howlongtobeat.com, this site tends to be pretty accurate.

Yeah this is definitely gonna be more than 2 hours for first playthrough. And no, 4-6 hours is not short, that is the perfect length.

Maybe for a whole game set inside a Bunker. But then I remember Spec Ops: The Line had about the same length and was impressively fine, and a much more exciting game.
In this light, 4-6 hours for Amnesia: The Bunker is a too much, actually. If only the roman ruins were actually explorable, alas no.

Price in my region - 880 Rubles (10.8 USD). Not so bad, I think

Using that logic no game should ever cost than, say, binding of isaac since it offers endles replayability.
