Your gaming attention span.

I really vary. I can go from playing one game in 1 hour bursts, to playing another game nonstop until I have /everything/ finished. It really just depends how much it grabs my attention.

Also, if it's a lot of reading/searching out people to talk to/exploring to figure out where you need to go next/grinding, I tend to get bored really quickly.

This to a tee. While I love free roam games, after a while I just get tired of running around trying to get to the next mission/objective. Just like in inFamous 2. I love the game, but once I got to the later missions I found myself getting bored. Lucky I finished it anyway and I've only got 3 more trophies to Platinum. :D

As for RPG's I have yet to finish one. I've bought SO MANY RPG's over the years and have not to finish one. Its not that I don't enjoy the games (sometimes I don't), but I'm just not into extremely long games.

Gaming attention span... I pay to much attention to games lol. I play for dangerous amounts of time (up to 15 hours), and once I start a game I don't play any other game on that system till I beat it, unless I get stuck of course. Coinincidentally I just finished one of the games you mentioned, Chrono Trigger on SNES for the first time today, totally worth 30 hours of my life lol.

Well I'm actually kind of a weird gamer...

Let me give you an example:

I was playing Disgaea, and I finished the scenario, so on my 2nd Cycle I got the Vyers ending for the lulz, and then I started my 3rd Cycle to take down the Baal... So obviously I needed a LOT of Item World leveling to do... I didn't even had a Cosmic Blade to start with... That's when I called it quits... Save file was around 40 times of gameplay or so...

Now fast forward few months. I had a sudden urge to play Disgaea again, I took it from where I left off to taking down Baal in one effin' almost nonstop go... Now my save file was up to 110 hours of gameplay and I got Yoshitsuna, Galaxy, Super Robot Armor, Hyperdrive, unlocked Majin class and stuff except from killing "Uber Prinny Baal"... Now I called it quits again and am playing Disgaea 2... I don't know when I'll go back playing Disgaea again, but when I do... There will be world of hurt for Uber Prinny Baal...

That's how my attention span is... I play it, finish it, call it quits, come back at a later date, get %99 or %100 completion...

i mostly don't like to stop playing a set game until it is beaten, but lately with the constant pressure some of these games are giving, like with ingame cellections, bonuses for doing set objectives way out of storyline, i been falling back to the simpler games from the snes or gba. I do enjoy the Elder Skrolls style games, but it gets repetitive. it's just that the newer games have so much you can do at one point, and what you do changes the difficulty later on down the road. i guess i'm just missing the simpler games they offered, but i will always go back to the complex games to destroy the enemy. but i will say this, after i beat a game once or twice, i like to run through it again with cheats just so i can say "take this bitches!"

I used to really be into playing one game all the way through until I beat it, but since I got my 360, I've been playing 2-5 different games a day, each one being played from 30min-4 hours at a time.
