If the main problem here is just linearity, like it was in the beginning of FFVII, I expect to be okay If the main problem is tha it's actually slow for twenty freaking hours I haven't got that kind of patience for any game. Jesus, I didn't give Persona that kind of time |
I can't speak to what the problem is, but from the sounds of this review* it sounds like it's a combination of extreme linearity, tedious battles, a poor combat system, and more. In other words, it sounds like it falls in the latter camp. And I, like you, refuse to surrender 20+ hours of my life to get to the good part of anything. In that amount of time, I could watch two whole seasons of Dexter, or The Wire. I could speed-run through every 2D Metroid game ever made, along with Prime. I could read three Timothy Zahn novels. I could do a lot of things. So why would I spend them on this?
Again, that line makes me unsure if people are being serious or not.
*There are other reviews, many of whom loved the game. I openly acknowledge this fact.

Fair enough, I'm just going with the facts and impressions* of Kohler, whom I generally respect. As for the thread title, you'll have to ask the OP why he chose that word. But the article makes it clear that this is not intended as a review, but rather as a preview.
*Admittedly, it's difficult to tell right now which are the facts, and which are just impressions.
