[General Discussion] How long do you like your games? What about girth?

I voted a couple of weeks, but really for me that vote means a month. If I can go through an RPG like Shadow Hearts with a FAQ by playing an hour or two a day, and get through it in a month, then I'm good to go.

On the other hand, when it comes to games like Jak & Daxter, I really felt like they stretched it out to the extreme with hunting for all the orbs etc. I feel like that should have been a two-week title. (I found all 1000 items so I'm sure that took longer than needed.)

However, what is most important for me, especially in an RPG, is pacing. I absolutely, positively do not want to be forced to play for more than half hour at a time without the ability to save. Game companies, I have other things to do and I'm not going to buy your games nor play them when you make me go an hour-and-a-half between save points. I don't mind plunking 100 hours into an RPG at all (just did it this year with FFXII in fact) but I absolutely do mind having to stay up and play while I'm falling asleep, leave the console on for hours so I can come back later, etc.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
