They say size doesn't matter. That's what I HEAR they say, anyway. I'm well endowed. But what about when it comes to video games? I've been kicking video game ass and taking video game names since the 80's. Some games would take YEARS to beat. Other games wouldn't last a weekend. Hell, some games that I'd consider classics (ie: Starfox 64) had me looking at the end credits in total satisifaction after an hour or two.
So what's the perfect game length? I'm a grown man with a full time job, a child, and a girlfriend. I don't have the time to grind to level 99 in Final Fantasy to take on Ruby Weapon anymore. I'm happy with a few hours of "Holy crap, this is awesome" compared to a few hours of "Holy crap, this is awesome--with a side of filler". Respawning enemies, repetitive grinding, and a lot of the things that you have to do to become good at a game just don't appeal to me, nowadays.
But I'm just me. I'm the guy that still hasn't finished The Order 1886 or Vanquish--two games that I highly enjoyed but are considered criminally short. They weren't short enough for me and my attention span! I'm the guy that got bored with GTAV and looked at a game like Red Dead Redemption like it was going to be a chore to complete. I'm the guy that would LOOOOOOOVE it if Metal Gear Solid V was just eight hours long. This isn't about me. It's about YOU!
...oh, and it's kinda about Halo V, too.
