Its like that stat of how many people actually finish a game these days...
The Walking Dead: Season 1, Episode 1 - 66%
Mass Effect 2 - 56%
BioShock Infinite - 53%
Batman: Arkham City - 47%
Portal - 47%
Mass Effect 3 - 42%
The Walking Dead: Season 1, Episode 5 - 39%
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - 32%
Borderlands 2 - 30%
From 2014

Surprised its that high tbh as last stat I saw was 10% from 2011.
Skyrim shouldn't be in that list, it's stupidly long, like Oblivion. I haven't beaten Skyrim yet, in about 1.5k hours (I can't remember whether it's four or five playthroughs, three of those to over level 49 (current playthrough is at about 49.3 or 49.4)).

Civ is different, I've beaten that dozens of times, the latest one I've played is V, that takes about 12 hours total, if you can be bothered, which I often can't.

Price is a big consideration for me, but mainly because there are so many games I don't like that I don't want to spend money on similar ones again (i.e. I agree that demos are needed).

If you want to finish the main quest both Skyrim and Oblivion are NOT that long, I am mean sure it takes a while but not that you can NOT do in 1.5K hour, takes LOT less, in fact in Oblivion I arrived at the point I could enter "Paradise" but I am delaying it as I want to do bit more around before.

Likewise even Skyrim if you really rush through does not take super super long to finish it.

Sure if you want to grab ALL that the game has to offer that's another story but then again this is precisely the way those games are designed.
