I get that cynicism sells, but I'm just so tired of seeing people get lambasted for liking something that 'The Anger Man Whomst Play Games' or 'Review Show with above-average budget' hated. I equally hate how much this used to influence ME when I was younger.

I know The Imprisoned gets a lot of flack, and I sure didn't enjoy the 3 fights against it, but honestly, traveling to Skyloft; to the Thunderhead; to a revist to one of the 3 main areas; to skyloft again to get to one of the OTHER 3 areas to get an item to go back to the FIRST area with...oh my God

I truly just can't wrap my head around how blatantly padded out the game is. I presume a lot of dev time had to go into animation, controls and mechanics, but none of that made the sheer volume of arduos repetition feel worth it. The entire second half of the game was a real slog.

I work in a movie theatre inside a shopping mall: we've basically just been dealing with customers who have already lost all of their patience after a day of shopping. Now the stores are closing, they're coming to us or the restaurants, and the baton of stress is passed on!
