I agree with the sentiment that shorter but more replayable games are the way to go. It always feels like a lot of games nowadays are incredibly bloated with things you would never replay. A good example is the A Link to the Past vs Skyward Sword. ALTTP can be beaten in what a weekend?
SS takes a week or two and probably even more since it is about 40 hours and ALTTP is about 10 hours. The 10 hours in ALTTP I spent was some of the best I ever had. SS, on the other hand, had only puddles of fun in between very boring things like collect all the musical notes or get back all your weapons.
Some games don't deserve to be long but some can do it correctly.
