Honestly, the games that take the most time I often have more negative opinions about. The Assassin's Creed games, for example, purposefully waste your time. They shove a bunch of junk in and try to make you interact with it when I could be doing something enjoying with my time. Enjoyment per hour should be the measure of a good game, not hours alone. If the game takes me 300h to complete and I only enjoyed 10h of that, it's a bad game.
Yes exactly!
Games are meant to entertain. If they aren't fun or force you to do unfun things, then why waste your time on them?
I got the same with collectibles in games. Chasing collectibles is boring to me, and you will never see me going for one that isn't directly on my path. It is meaningless fluff.
