You never have to walk around in street clothes. I never did. I changed back to my sneaking suit right after the cutscene.

Yeah true, but it still you can't for the most part just waste the guys who spot you and hid till it goes away. You get spotted your kinda screwed. At least thats how i remembered it and thats more what i was getting at.

Agreed. First few stages are way too streamlined and given the number of attacks you get in Space, you could almost say Space is way too linear too.

Ah. I never had a problem with that in my sneaking suit. I just snuck my way through following the guy.

On thread-topic: FFX-2: Is the game that taught me never to get excited for an upcoming game. Man, before it came out I speculated and my friend and I tried to guess about what the story would be about. And then it came out... I mean, it was fun enough, and I realized (once I started playing it) they weren't trying to be super serious... but... Getting the 100% perfect ending.... Ugh.

A game I learnt that about was Infinite Undiscovery, its cool and all but it could have been so much better.

FF games have disappointed me lately due to not having a fully explorable world map. I always enjoy those in RPG's.

Contra 4. I really enjoyed Shattered Soldier and Neo Contra, still do, and of course the classic Contras (two of which are on the cartridge so I mean it had GREAT extras for the price, if they had also put Contra III on there I wouldn't even be able to complain really), but...I dunno, something about the level design just didn't seem FUN, just didn't grab me the way Contra is supposed to. I mean, I guess they missed the point, or something. I can't say I agreed exactly with Action Button's review or whatever but I definitely couldn't disagree with it.

All the Final Fantasies since they switched to Sony have required doing retarded things to get all the best stuff, and pretty much guarantees you need a goddamned strategy guide or a walkthrough to find all the shit. That always frustrated me. I don't mind going out of my way to get an ultimate weapon, but having to spend hours going through and doing pointless shit to get them just doesn't seem worth it when I can still slaughter everything just as well with second or third best.

I'd just like to mention that neither D1 nor D2 have ever ruined any of my mice. I played a warrior on D1 and an Assassin on D2, if classes mean anything.

The Fable Series. There is alot of much potential for the games, but much of it is squandered. I really want to like the games but they screw it up somehow.

I'm gonna have to say that FF7 would've been a lot better if they'd spent more time in Midgar(d?) instead of kicking you out 3-5 hours in for The Great Sephiroth Chase.

Let's see, though... games I've played... well, there's this one 360 game, X-Blades.

It stars an adventurer/treasure hunter, and the events that start the plot have her going to a mysterious ruin in the middle of nowhere to get some treasure. The game has absolutely no treasure hunting, adventuring, or even decent platforming, because in truth it's just a generic hack & slash. And it's not even good at being that.
