What do you prefer?

Long games with short replay value (i.e. Zelda, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear solid)

or

Short games with long replay value (i.e. Wii sports, Resident evil 4, House of the dead overkill)

short with high replay or, games like mass effect

either is fine as long as the actual game is good

Long games, definitely. I think they're the most rewarding.

Short replay value,like L4D thats why its so fun!

why? <.<

I'm actually surprised that you consider Zelda a game of low replay value. As much as I hate the way Nintendo ends the Zelda games, I'd say that Ganon is the "spiritual" ending to the game.

If it's a linear game I don't mind having a low replay value (including new game + and all that stuff) as long as it takes a decent amount of time to finish it, I'd say that 20hrs+ is good enough

but if it's something that has some sort of "career" mode or something like that I don't mind being short as long as I have loads of stuff to unlock, e.g. Rebel Strike

but a game with higher replay value has priority over longer games without replay value, and short games with questionable replay value have the lowest priority, unless it's really awesome (Eternal Darkness was a good buy!)

length generally i get bored of doing the same things over.

unless its a online and things are always different.

According to that, only six games have been played longer than Wii Sports, and only two games have more individual sessions than Wii Sports.

As for your other post, the replay value of Wii Sports comes from the multiplayer.

I prefer short games that have high replay value. I spent this evening replaying Atari 2600 games trying to break my high scores... until the damn thing broke on me :(
