I prefer the latter. Games with shorter or not that satisfying main quests but lots of optional stuff to do, or a focus on time or score attacking. Or ones that encourage multiple walkthroughs rewarded with bonus material or enhanced gameplay. or games with focus on online multiplayer and generally ones where you have to learn to be good at but then are rewarded with a great experience.
Which probably is the reason I like Sonic CD so much. The main game is not the main attraction, the heart of the game lies in the time attack mode. All the stages are designed especially to be TAable, with lots of routes, shortcuts, tricky enemy-bouncing manoeuvres, exploitable physics and so on. Whereas Sonic 3 & Knuckles, which arguably is a great game as well doesn't fit my tastes at all, with the stages (and whole game) being very long and rather wanting to give the player a nice experienced by just beating it. Riviera I also like partly because it's pretty short but rewards multiple playthroughs with lots of unlockables and getting better at it yields high scores.

I also prefer the latter. My beloved Disgaea rewards me with theme songs for beating it several different ways. I still didn't get one of the endings, though. :/
Maybe I'll get it in the DS version... I'm curious to see how the DS butchers Ode To Laharl. ~~~ Yar har ho.

Whatever happened to long games with lots of replay value/optional stuff?

I don't care how long or short it is, nor how much replay value it has. All I want is a ton of sidequests to distract me when I've reached the end of the game and my problem with finishing games sets in and I just want to play but not finish it.

I prefer shorter games since I frequently get sick of longer games near the end.

I prefer shorter games but I can finish any game I play aside from those with deadly difficulty level.

I prefer both + long games with alot of replay value (i.e Riviera- long but has extra scenes & items)
jet set radio future is an example of short and alot of replay value, test runs and vs mode btw: if words are mispelled its probably because im using my PSP ~~~ Thy sins shall be purged...

Riviera's not long at all. It's short.

true, but I think if you try to get every item on the same file I'm pretty sure that's impossible, but if it so happens, and you succeed on every trigger (which would take a lot of resetting) it would take the average a long time if I'm correct
