I do think more and more games are making an effort to let us easily bookmark our progress – just look at how many games let you save anywhere, that was a dream when I was growing up.

I must take note with one of your examples though – Final fantasy 12, I played a good 20 hours also before leaving the game – then returning to it after six months, perfectly able to continue playing and understanding what I had to do.

Why? Because of the map – it gave me a clue of where I needed to go next and a helpful index of where that location was all in-game easily found. It can be done.

Of course, we can always buy less games too.
