Dallinor: Probably more useful to skip the text boxes. I always figured there would be something, but frustration grew more or less. Also, somewhat random. Why not: Press any button, press this button, press start?
And realistically, I never said aiming arrows with the sixxaxis was bad. I picked it up eventually, but I said it was slow as hell. That bothered me, and I'm quite glad some people enjoyed it though, just because I found it less enjoyable that other portions of the game doesn't make it something intended to not be fun. Hats versus shields? Meh. I could swear I mentioned it's beautiful...
And I suppose you're right, I did fail to mention why the first 2 hours were really really fun, and that did have to do with the smooth enjoyable combat. Other things simply began to wear that down, like Kai and other problems.
Munken:, maybe you didn't see frame rate drops, but I'm gong to go out on a limb here and say they exist, mainly because I saw them. Damn Leprechauns. Also, I beat Rohan without using a single shield breaker combo (Got annoyed at bosses having a counter-attack of their own, and some combos you don't stop very well).
Forgive me however, after a nice nap (Hey, Remember what time I played till), I recalled one of the most random little "WTFs" in the game: Switches.
To open a switch, begin mashing X. To stop spinning a switch because an enemy is nearby, you... well, you wait, for all that work you've done to undo yourself, or until someone hits you. Say if you're playing a Kai level which involves snipping enemies running at you. There is a point where you need to open switches. Well, if you're opening the gate, but want to stop because you just realized that the enemies breach the gate just before it, and Kai can only fight ranged, then you... umm, wait for all your work to be undone.
Also, if you're going to have a Camera flaw (Uncontrollable camera, but it works. There are some weird corner looks that I saw in the tutorial then used... 3 times in the game), may as well have it during the switches. First time you open it, it always looks where you'd want it to. If you screw up, 2nd, third, fourth, and times afterward, it looks at whatever the hell it wants. Most likely a wall. The Camera does revert back to the normal view afterwards.
