If your game starts off with "go save the princess" and every fucking hour your reminded "go save the princess!" even though you have some task in front of you, it can feel to long. space shit out, if your objective is to save the princess don't tell us that before hand, give us time to see the world and understand, explore a bit. Use the time to explain game mechanics. Then have some shit happen, guy sends us to find a mcguffin, we find a mcguffin, and from there the task of getting to / rescuing the princess becomes important.

When it detracts rather than adds to the experience.

Not talking about the story alone, but the whole game itself (excluding side-quests/post-story).

When the gameplay stops being interesting or engaging by the time you're finished.
See Strange Journey, where the gameplay has already become tedious by the time you reach the reveal that you're actually only halfway through.

Personally, I struggle to complete anything longer than 20 hours. Looking at my Steam games sorted by play time, 10 to 20 hours seems the sweet spot.

New Vegas is too long, for example. I stopped at a record 72 hours in what seemed halfway through. I barely finished the original Fallout at 26 hours.

You probably shouldn't be playing RPGs then.
There's a short list of games I have 200+ hours in and haven't "completed".
The entire list is Terraria, Fallout 3, and New Vegas.

What else is there besides the story, the side-quests and post-game?
