Multiplayer has absolutely no value to me. So i don't care how stunning the graphics are you better give me more than 6hrs of gameplay if you want to call your game exceptional and awesome. Well unless ofcourse you're 15 and you buy the game just so you can have bragging rights to your nerdy friends at school.
You can't be much of an old school gamer if you expect more than 6 hours of game time per title. King's Quest I could be clocked in less than 3 minutes.

As I've said above, there are a lot of great games that are pretty quickly over. Braid? Portal? Mirror's Edge? LucasArts' entire back catalogue of adventure games?

The length of a game is absolutely no measure of how good it is or isn't.
