are we there yet

games that seem too content-heavy, bloated, unnecessarily slow, or are too long to finish to the point of overstaying their welcome. mmos and open world games are excluded for virtue of their natures as genres, and older jrpgs are treated a bit lighter than other genres. suggestions welcome. note that this doesn't necessarily mean anything about the quality of the game or whether i personally like them or not
