A lot of these 40~80 hour games just really piss me off. There are some indie games that are great because they're only 10~12 hours (Hotline Miami I/II, Gris, Limbo, etc.). It's nice to have a well developed game, story, whatever in a smaller package.
I've had a lot of fun with some long/AAA titles (God of War Ragnarök, the original FF7, Red Dead 2, Far Cry 4/5) but there are also some I've dumped $60 for something hyped a lot that turned out to be shit (I couldn't get past 2 hours of Elden Ring without hating everything about it. Hogwarts Legacy is fucking awful. I beat Far Cry 6, but it was still dumb. Kingdom Hearts is totally overrated).
Longer, bigger open world games are getting more exhausting.
Nintendo is the worst. They're games are honestly not even that good. I've never made it through a Zelda game. I made it through a lot of Mario Galaxy back when I had a Wii and just gave up. Xenoblade I had great story and fuck awful gameplay. I don't see why people love Nintendo. Their games suck, their prices suck and their consoles are mediocre at best. The Switch doesn't allow you to backup your saves without a paid network account, and the PS5 also removed individual save backups (which the PS4 had!).
