Sometimes these new games are just so big which is great value for money but in The Witcher 3 I have forgotten what the main story is all about. I AM SO DISTRACTED BY SIDE QUESTS!
Yeah my problem is that I like to play my playstation whilst having a few cans and listening to music, a lot of today's games require the sound to be on, that's why I have stuck with Fight Night for so long, I can play it whilst I'm steaming drunk with my music blasting and still destroy everyone on the hardest setting.

RDR was brilliant, I loved that game, and I loved Arkham Asylum and Arkham city.

Another problem is that I don't have enough stamina for big games these days, I'm a casual gamer at best, I struggle with massive story lines because I lose interest in a game after a few weeks (I bought the last of us when it first came out and played it for all of 20 minutes before deciding I was bored by it, haven't ever touched it since)

One of my favourite games of all time though is Heavy Rain, fucking awesome that was, the other one was alright as well, the one with the little poltergeist dude, wasn't as good but still decent.
I know what you mean with the long games. I am still playing the Witcher 3 and I have tallied up 50 hours so far and all I have been doing is discovering places and doing side missions and contracts. It's alright as the game is really good, but if I was working right now I would only be able to play and hour here or there and I wouldn't be into it at all. I sit there and do it in 4 hour chunks and still I just open up new undiscovered places and thus still ignore the main story which is apparently very long too. I am having a blast, but this is going to end up being the biggest game I have ever played. It's amazing how much content they have put into this.

GTA 5 was a big game, but this is going to dwarf that by quite a margin in the end. Massive. I bought the Game of the Year Edition so it also has the two download extra add ons that will apparently add another 70 hours of gameplay time. This could end up being over 270 hours. That is just ridiculous. It's like a month of your life if you play 9-5 everyday. It's no wonder gamers end up becoming nerds who sit in the dark acting like they have Tourette's.
