I felt that way with:
Tales of Symphonia for the GCN
I made all, i mean, ALL, the sidequest, i just loved that game until . . .
Namco stared whoring the Tales of series and they didnt miss the chance to screw ToS:Dawn of the New World.
I have it there, barely have played 7 hours, i am always wondering:
WHERE IS MY MAP ! ! ! ! !
PS: I want to ride with that little dog and explore the world, not just a Point A to Point B NES-style animation
