I just thought of another one:

I find it absurd when people complain about the length of a game being too short to be a full retail game. I got more out of Portal 2 and Miles Morales than the mindless bloat of other games. As a grown-assed adult who has a lot to do, I'd often much rather have a compressed 3-5 hour story that's all great than a 20 hour story that's got lots of filler. I do think there's a lot of room for the true, never-ending epics and open world stuff (I love those games, too), but to claim a game is inferior because it's short just seems silly to me.

Nobody would watch a movie, say 'it was only an hour and a half, therefore it's not as good as Lord of the Rings'. That would be simply asanine. A game's length really shouldn't be that large of a determining factor. Its replay value, fun factor, and a bunch of other stuff should come first.
