Are AAA Games Too Long?

That's a shame too because I liked playing The Ballad of Gay Tony. Mind you I haven't finished it because I got it in the Steam Rockstar pack and the PC version runs like garbage, but I did like what I played storywise.

I was only able to complete GTA IV because I did nothing but the story missions non-stop. I wasn't about dicking around and killing cops and stuff like that because it was wasteful for me. You lose your weapons, you pay money, and all this other mess that seemed like a waste of time.

Maybe it's just cause I don't like that style of play, although I like sandbox games..I like games with a goal that can be reached. Even in open world games like Fallout New Vegas, the world might be open but unless you keep buying DLC you can eventually do EVERYTHING in the game.

MMOs are things that have to be really good for me to get into because of that.
