Title says all.

Me, I like my games nice and long. I want to be able to play it for weeks.

I like games like that also, but you call that type of thing "Live". 360 and PS3 allows you to play with other people and it would be longer.

Massive RPGs FTW! Although, I actually don't like games that long, because I enjoy replaying them over and over again. Especially nostalgic ones.

Kingdom Hearts 2 is probably my most replayed game. I think I've played through it, what, 5 times?

Contrary to most people... I like games shorter.

I mean, if I had all the time I wanted to play, then yeah, of course. Seeing as I don't stupid forums, then I want to be able to beat them in the time I have.

Case in point: FFIV. Too long. >_>

That would mean you have a shorter attention span, or something close to that. I'm not even sure at all.

...FFIV is pretty short in comparison to some games, s0L0. >_>

It's just like you saying Stairway to Heaven is too long. Try "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" by Pink Floyd.

Maybe FFIV was a bad example. It had an EXTENDED story.

I guess ZTP would be an example. What was Nintendo saying, 60 hour game?

I think that would be a lie. I don't know, but I think ZTP wasn't that long of a game compared to OOT.

I got through TP in, I think, 30 hours first play-through.

Kingdom Hearts II: 37 hours...

Well, that's without skipping cutscenes. I like me some cutscenes.

Skipping cutscenes kills the game for me. Unless, like, I've died a million times on one boss and need to see the same cutscene over and over again. >_<

Somehow, though, in those cases cutscenes are always non-skippable. xP

KHI had non skippable cutscenes. Before bosses. It sucked. v_v

Nope. Hit start button and you can choose to skip it.
