I don't mind "short games" if the immersion factor is good, like Spec-Ops Line (now this is a game that badly needs more support). Movies over here cost about 15 dollars on weekends, not counting tidbits, but I still dole out the moola if I am sufficiently convinced the movie will be entertaining.
Then again... I always seem to be a slow player.
I don't know how they calculate game-length in reviews, but I never seem to play a game as fast as reviewers. Generally speaking, if a reviewer says a game takes 12 hours to complete, I take at least 24. I guess I'm a "smell the roses" kind of guy.
Having fun in Tomb Raider at the moment, but getting distracted by SC2:HotS release.
I might complete HotS' campaign first, because spoilers are coming out way too much for my liking.
Cheers.
