The sign that something is good is when I want it to be longer. Who tf has time to get burned out in some 100 hour game they have to force themselves to finished. I think my hard cap for any game these days is 25 hours

This is actually why i dislike the persona games so much outside of the first because the story is interspersed through hours upon hours of dull grind where i either follow a guide and play the game optimally for the reward of short dialogue snippets or miss it entirely by playing the game without a guide and gain nothing from that experience other than wasting about the same amount of time for less dialogue snippets.

At this rate a compilation of all cutscenes and dialogue is a better way of experiencing the game which is usually where i draw the line for game too long is if its more fun to watch it than play it.

I tried to play fallout 3 again and got so bored. Like theres cool content if you go find it but i dont want to find it because it doesnt pace it well or lead me there its hidden between vast wasteland of raiders, super mutants and copy paste buildings that i cant enter to travel to some random spot on the map to find out its just another raider base with 50 enemies i vats explode heads using the combat shotgun and loot. ITS BORING. THE WHOLE GAME IS BORING. Like one of the major sidequests is basically just a tutorial
