10 - 12 hours is fucking short.
A game I only consider "long" if you're looking at at least around fifty to a hundred hours of play minimum.
What I WILL concede, however, is there are way too many games today that 'pretend' to be long by just adding junk to fill space and time. The worst examples being stuff like Far Cry and Assassin's Creed. Games that add 'stuff to do' rather than content. By that I mean they add tons of pickups and random little things like the ever-present "Ubisoft Radio Towers" (which have taken various forms, but they're all riffing on the same theme) that don't really ADD to the game so much as just give you another chore to complete.
