YMMV. I've grown increasingly tired of all these huge-for-the-sake-
of-being-huge games. Partly because I just don't want to dedicate 500
hours to exploring every nook and cranny. But also because -in order
to fill out all these aforementioned nooks and crannies- developers
are increasingly turning towards procedural generation and the result
is just boring grind. I'd much rather a smaller, better paced
adventure.

But that's just me. The nice thing about modern video gaming is
there's a game to suit EVERYBODY'S taste these days. ;-)
