    Absolutely. Brevity is the soul of wit.

    I dropped Okami a bit after the first dungeon. It's problem isn't that it's long; it's that it's fricking boring.

      Yeah, but 300 of those hours are just waiting for a timer to run out.

    The only game I've played that I would describe as having "too much content" is Hyrule Warriors.

      Okami is a long game, but the main issues is the pacing lurches with several bait-and-switches where you think you're in the final stretch but then there's another arc of the story. Zelda games usually have an inflection point after the first few dungeons that reveal another major mechanic and open up the world, but Okami just sorta does that, then.. does it again...then does it again before finally ending. If the flow was more cohesive and there was more of a connective thread I don't think it would drag on as much.

      Still a great game, and not just because of the fortune cookie.

      Mosou is just sorta like that, I think. From what I understand the fans are all about that grindy shit.

    Yep, fatigue is real.
    I would say the only games I've played that went on too long are Final Fantasy XII and Persona 5 though. About the 120 hour mark is where it has to be put down.

    Outside of fighting Orochi a million times Okami justifies it's length by just constantly getting better unlike most games which drop off in the second half

    While I love the first Grandia game it is way too long and should be 20 hours shorter like it's sequel, especially when the 2nd half feels rushed.

    Genshin Impact. It would be a much more respectable game if there was no resin and it's not like morons wouldn't spend loads of money on the gacha anyway. But instead you have to artificially spend a week on an hour grind.

    Only (unironic) moronic people regurgitate that Okami is too long. Every normal human was disappointed that it's not longer and you don't get to explore that floating island at the end.
