Still awesome games. Every one of them. The time it takes to play a game to the end doesn't really matter if it has high replay value. I'm playing some of those titles until today and spent more than 1,000 hours with each one of them. A massive RPG can eat up 100+ hours, but I'm never coming back to that.
Besides, if a bad game is long, it makes it even worse. A long good game is great of course, but sometimes you just want something short. I don't have that much time for gaming, sometimes I'm not playing for two weeks or so. I would have completely forgotten about my progress in a massive RPG in that time, so I'm not motivated to play any further. I would have to start over again and again and again. It's the main reason I haven't bought Persona 4 or Ni No Kuni, although they look quite interesting to me. With a full-time job, wife and son, there's simply not enough time for those games.

It's therefore pretty cool that there is such a broad variety of games. That way everybody will find something he likes. There just aren't those Über-games that appeal to everybody. That does also count for playtime. Some like it short, some like it longer. Everything's ok, there are enough titles for every taste.
