Do you play old games?

You would need to first

Not really. If you aren't sure you can agree, then clearly you have some grounds upon which you think there might not be an agreement. You could explain why. In fact, you actually did elaborate post edit.

Most games I have on the backburner at the moment, I have on PS4 and they are on that backburner because they all feel rather daunting to complete (DA:I, The Witcher 3, MGSV, AC: Unity & Syndicate, Shadow of Mordor, Batman: AK, Fallout 4)

I was going to point to the notion of rule by exception, throwing up a handful of examples to counter a claim when the standard swings a different way, but...Assassin's Creed games? Really? Those are like, six hour games nestled in with games that can take dozens of hours. Okay, distraction over. Your list includes games like the Witcher 3 and Fallout 4, games which have been hailed specifically for standing out in a world of multiplayer games and mad amounts of DLC and 4 hour campaigns. I really think that rpoves the point. Your backburner games are games that are singled out as special.

I still remember when people used to flip their lids if any game was as short as 10 hours.

Of course! Most of the games I play now are old an indie. I have nothing against good AAA games, but I dislike that side of the industry now a days and I have issues running a certain game on my older PC since I have no interest in a new console at this point.
I do enjoy playing new games even as cynical as I have become, but I do mostly prefer old games.

Up until about last November, I really only played PS2 games. But then my controller broke.

Now Skyrim is my main game, because PS2 controllers are rare, and so expensive.

I'm mostly playing old games. Newer stuff occasionally catches my eye, but there are entirely too many classics I never played. I actually set up a backlog by year. Right now I'm at 1989/1990.

I play fallout 3 if that counts as an old game, i also play joust on the easiest difficulty setting, i also like the pokemon trading card game on the game boy color if that counts as an old game.
