Syn Angellus Zephyrkitty Is the EBT the amount of time it takes to beat the game, or get 100% completion? Which sidequests get factored in, and how are they determined? What about games with several difficulty levels? What about New Game+, especially when it's something like TWEWY and doesn't require starting a new file? What if the game spends a lot of time loading? There are things like these that would cause problems for figuring out an EBT. That said, it'd be a nice feature and I would like to know roughly how long a game will take me to beat.
You don't see a movie telling you the time length of the ads, included or excluded. Or if the time length given on the back of the box is with or without deleted scenes. For a New Game+, sure. It's not too difficult to separate the game pre- and post-end credits. This applies to some extent with loading screens, as well (although you can't skip loading screens the way you can skip ads). But knowing how sidequests factor into the EBT would be nice, especially considering how many sidequests some games have, the fact that part/all of some will be required to beat the game, or they won't be essential but a lot of gamers will still finish them for some other reason.
On a tangent, I was looking at a few games at the store a couple of hours ago, and one of them mentioned something about "40+ hours of gameplay" on the back. So EBTs on games do exist, they're just very vague and not very common.
