Indeed. It's not that I don't rush through some sections of the games, mostly boring dungeons or when I have to test stuff, but when a story is good and I see it first time, I want to savour it and relax when I play. They don't really give out medals for finishing a game, finishing a game under 20 hours, finishing it on the highest difficulty... or whatever.
Oh, and there is also an excellent sides to getting a game a year or two late: first, it is hopefully all patched by then, second - you can read a bunch of reviews, and third - you can get a used copy
