Depth or Breadth in Gaming Experience?

I definitely like both.  The way I see it is that everyone has a set of games they "like" and a set they "love".  I still want to play the games I "like", but I might just beat them and forget all of the optional stuff.  If it's a game I "love" then I want to get every last bit out of it that I can.  I am a lot more likely to replay the games I "love" too, where I am happy to play the "like" games just once and then move on.

For example I remember liking the first Just Cause.  It's a good open world game.  I haven't played Just Cause 2 or 3 yet, because my time is limited, but if given the chance I'd probably pop one in and play it to the end.  On the other hand Breath of the Wild is an open world game that I "love".  I put it over 100 hours into it even though I know I could have beaten it after 20-30 hours.  It's just that good of a game.  I'm sure at some point I'll play it all over again for another 100+ hours.  Why not spend a lot of time with a game that you "love"?

On the other hand I still like variety.  I get a lot of enjoyment playing a game I only like and quickly beating it so I can move on to the next game and get a different kind of experience.  I'm glad to play both kinds of games.
