I prepaid $60 for that stinker because I liked the Dungeon Siege games so much. GPG still owes me, TO THIS VERY DAY!

I expect more gameplay from my purchases. I honestly wouldn't purchase a game unless I was pretty sure to get a minimum of 40 hours, and preferably 60 hours worth of gameplay. But then again, I mostly focus on open-ended RPG / ARPG games with mild strategy (think Civ series / original pirates / Elite) placing a close second.
