So what. I don't have 3 months of my life to dedicate to beating ONE game.
The game is extremely fulfilling, has replay value and tells a fantastic story. 12 solid physical playing hours is more than enough. Hind sight it may have been closer to 16hrs.

Neither of which have anything resembling a storyline. I don't think you can really build a good, single arch story around 50, 75, 150 hours of game play. It gets stretched out and it gets old.
Fallout has massive depth, but really no storyline. There is no real development of your character, you don't see the changes, interactions and growth of anyone around you. It's a fantastic universe, with deep back story, but it is not a character driven story. Is player interaction driven.
Games with massive play time, like FF7 for example, are like that because they often feature massive amounts of leveling, grinding and searching. Nothing like a hour long boss fight, right?
This does little to add to the actual story.
Tetris has some retarded long play time, however, I won't praise the story, emotional experience or even call it fulfilling.
