Eight is pretty generous (Destiny)

The most common complaints that I've heard come from the fact that the developers intentionally made the game to run at 30fps, and that it takes five hours to beat.

The complaints about 30 fps were because they chose it as a stylistic choice. Ready at Dawn had said they would have run it at 24fps to mimic the cinematic experience, except that not everyone had 120hz TVs. If the choice were about a tradeoff between graphical / simulation complexity and framerate, you can at least make those arguments. But to say you ran at a lower frame rate because you wanted your game to look cinematic is completely inept and laughable.

And of course a 5 hour game is not in and of itself cause for criticism. Game reviewers are terrible though, and just go down the checklist instead of actually examining length critically.
