Baldur's Gate II was awesome because it didn't get old. I'm still playing that party (in ToB) and loving it... you have plenty of new places to go to and new people to talk to (and kill)... sure, in some games the repetition gets old, and that gets me to stop playing. Like Lunar Legend... only the autofight option has gotten me as far as I am (in the last dungeon)... or Icewind Dale II, where the sheer volume of combat gets old after an hour or two... but games like that I consider 'fun once in a while' -- I'll pick them up, every few weeks or months, and play them a bit... and I have no problem with that. They'd get dull playing straight through, but are fun games, so 'sometimes' is the answer...
Yes, it is a good mark for a game if it makes you say "I want to play this straight through and not play anything else until I'm done". Like I felt with Starcraft, or Torment, or BGII, or Warcraft I, or Ocarina of Time... but 'I like this game every so often so I can get the 'it gets dull' out of my system in between sessions' is okay too. I'm not overly hung up on wanting to finish everything.
That's obvious when you look at how many games (especially PC games) I haven't finished. :)
