I've never really had a hard time with them at all. I know MGS4 is unbelievably heavy, with small 5 second doses of gameplay to keep you posted on the unbelievable cutscene direction. Far Cry 2 was long, didn't have a problem with it. And I noticed that Dragon Quest intros are relatively long depending on the gamer's expectations (suggested a 10 year old play it, he handed it back to me after about 2 minutes...)
