You said you gave up on Okami after three hours, even though it's a 40 hour game. I'll criticize you as I see fit. |
I can only speak for myself, but I can't think of a single time between NES and now when I have played a game for more than an hour without liking it only to have it suddenly become an awesome game. I've trudged through a huge number of games that I wasn't particularly enjoying, and not once in my life was it ever worth doing. Now, I'll give a game maybe 2 hours and if I don't enjoy it, done. The closest examples are Mass Effect and Fallout 3, two games I really wanted to like because of my Bioware love and my love of previous Fallout titles. I played both for a while, and wasn't enjoying either, but figured I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. Well, neither game improved and I wasted a lot of time playing games that I didn't like. Just ecause you thought Okami was fun doesn't mean that someone who hated the first 3 hours was going to like the next 37. In fact, it is pretty likely that if you don't like a game it's never going to grow on you, because the process of playing it while not having fun just makes you hate the game more.
And before you say anything, I thought Mass Effect had an awesome story and thoroughly enjoyed seeing it develop when someone else was playing, but the gameplay made me want to commit suicide.
