When do you feel that you've been given "enough" for the price that you payed for a game?

If I pay £40 for a game, I want to get at least 100 hours out of it.

Most of my games cost me £0 - £7 and have given me hundreds and hundreds of hours of entertainment. Maybe once a year I will buy a AAA game because they are expensive, huge to download and rarely very fun compared to more specific and niche products from smaller devs

So if I'm going to get out of my comfort zone and buy some AAA game for 6x the price I normally pay, it better be an insanely good game that gives me my moneys worth

The last 3 AAA games I have bought are Dark Souls 3 (100 hours in, still need to do DLC), Doom (0 hours in because I'm waiting for a friend to give me a the files on a hard drive as I cant download 75gb with my internet) and Dark Souls 2 (played for roughly 300 hours)

So currently thats like £120 for 400 hours of gaming. Compared to my top 3 most played games in the last 5 years, Quake Live (~1000 hours), Reflex (~400 hours) and Dota 2 (~600 hours). So thats 2000 hours for about £14

Thats kind of why I'm iffy towards AAA games and their prices. They are more to download, cost a shitload more to buy and dont offer an experience relative to that price. So I rarely feel like I get my moneys worth with AAA games and with indie games I feel like I'm getting a shit load more out of it than I paid for
