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

I really couldn't vote. The hours depends entirely on whether the game has any appeal to me or not. Good games with many new features introduced constantly, I can spend a long time on them. Games that I feel repetitive (short attention span too), I don't play long at all.

While some good games should have long hours, there are other titles which are short, but ends perfectly too. So it's really hard for me to say.

I guess one feature in games that will keep me hooked for long, is customization. RPGs tend to have that; be it equipment for statistics or detailed appearance.

The first ever game that made me spend a long time on was FFVII. My in-game clock was maxed at 99:59, and I still continued playing after that. Games with fun gameplay or story will basically keep me glued on it. Titles off the top of my mind are Wild Arms (any), Grandia, Okami, just plucking out games I feel like playing right now.

Also note that I tend to complete games REALLY fast. Latest example would be MGS4, cleared the hardest rank within days of the game's release, and perfected it a little after the first week. After completing a so called 100% of the game, I find it meaningless to continue further. Bad habit.

How ya doing, buddy?
