I love a game of any length, as long as its length fits its context. Games that pad out the play time with grinding or busy work lose me so fast.
I think it all comes down to pacing. A lot of games start off grand then go downhill towards the mid game that means theres nothing to keep me going. Actually a perfect example of this is cyberpunk 2077 which starts off amazing with the Jackie arc and basically peaks at the end of it then afterwards is just… shit. Blah blah talk to x go over there and talk to y and talk to someone else then blah blah back and forth cutscene talk cutscene talk cough a bit and moan at Johnny basically for the entire game till the point of no return where it suddenly gets fun again.
Its actually why i hate FF7 because the first disc sets up everything so well and when i get to disc 2 and the game “opens up” its fucking BORING. All the tension gone and now its follow xX_sephirppgpfie_Xx boring ass shit ass shit grinding mini game shit
