At any rate, I mentioned this before, but I got annoyed by that game from the very start when I found out you have a massively ridiculous time between points where saving actually SAVES something. Later sure, it's only during missions where you can't save, but to make it so you can't save for the entire childhood bit? Sure, not THAT long, but it's long enough, and something that I want to get "perfect" enough, that I want to at least be able to save when I succeed at something so if I mess up a later challenge I don't have to do it all over again.
Uh, nothing Tycho or Gabe said about the game changed my opinion on it. I disagree with plenty of stuff they say.
I've just gotten a bit more jaded, is all. Ok so maybe it is a pretty good game if you forget all of the hype, but Molynuex haunts me in my dreams, taunting me with giant open fields and wondrous mountains to frolick in. I still stand by my original statement that it's one of the biggest gaming dissapointments ever. And it is a good game. Just not that great. If I gave out scores I'd give it a 7/10.
