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

In a world where change is the rule, we rely on the unyielding constants in life for comfort and security -- that the sun will rise, that the earth will turn. But what if we could no longer be certain of anything? To what then would we cling? For centuries philosophers and theologians have debated what it means to be human. Perhaps the answer has eluded us because it is so simple. To be human is to choose.

I choose FPS games a lot lately. While FFT remains my favorite game of all time, I simply cannot devote time into RPGs anymore - Mass Effect withstanding. And with my habit of "Play Four Games At The Same Time" the whole "pick up and put down" aspect makes me forget about involved storylines - which is really the reason I stopped playing Final Fantasy XII.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I rethought of what I put in this thread and wanted to add something - I'll always take a game thats short if there is high replay value. For instance, some of my favorite gaming "memories" (for lack of a better word) in the last couple of years have been Spider-Man 2 and 3. Its not because the games have great stories or good combat or interesting ideas never seen before (though I think they could've done with a subplot where Spider-Man fights for and wins Black Cat's virginity) - but because those games fulfilled a childhood dream of swinging around New York.

So replay is a big part of this.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
