Maybe it is a "Me" thing, but that's ok. Everyone has a different idea of what they want or expect out of a game. Some like to just blast through a game and finish it as quickly as possible while others go slow and do as much as the can in the game. A typical 40 hour game for me will take 80+ hours while others can do it 20 hours or less. In this game, I don't mind (most of the time) the tedious and grindy part of the game - I find it relaxing at times, but that's just me.
