Nowadays, if it's something that takes you up to 12 hours to play through, if you can do it all in a day, it's considered too short.

Interesting how that works.
Games back then didn't have a memory card. They were easy to get into and play.

It's annoying having a game that invests so much into the CGI cutscenes and other bull that the actual game ends up only being 5-6 hours.

Games these days cost 60$, you can't blame people for feeling entitled to more.
