We know that certain games are big, like BG3 or Persona 5. But recently games like FF7 rebirth and Indiana Jones just kept going on and on past "Act 3". Also Rise of the Golden Idol seemed a little short to me

Are developers getting more efficient with generating content?

I wasn't surprised by the length of the base game, or even by the presence of the post game, but by how much time the game spent ending. You beat the villain, that should be it, right? Lol no, you have to traverse the whole game world without vehicles and no network support. That's it, right? Lol no, here's a giant boss monster. That's it, right? Lol no, here's a shitload of cutscenes. Then the credits, then cut to black. That's it, right? Lol no, more cutscenes, then one last delivery... and one last burst of cutscenes, some of which should have come earlier. That's it, right? Lol almost, you have to watch the credits again, and then one blessedly short cutscene before the postgame, and then you can finally go to the main menu and quit.

I really liked the game, but good lord.
