i can't lie about it. for better or worse, if the game i'm playing grabs me, it grabs me & i'll play it till the end. the OCD part of the wholething is that i will not play anyting else until the current game i'm playing is completely finished. here comes my complaint:

some games are just WAAAAAAAAY too long. Okami is brilliant in every way, but seriously- 30+ hours???? come on! at 12+ hours designers have given us our money's worth- but once you go past 24 hours- you've hit the OVERKILL point. if your game is that 'epic' in scope, you have totally killed any replay value for me. there is no way i'm going to ever revisit the world of Okami once this never ending quest is finally finished. unlike shadow of the colossus (which took way less time to complete), Okami just stretches for the sake of it. As far as i'm concerned the game could have already ended 10 hours ago- but no. after you kill the main baddy, there is still more epic questing to be done. ....boring.

nonetheless, i really do love Okami. it is nothing short of brilliant in every way....
