It might not be as terrible as everyone says it is, but it certainly is as terrible as I say it is.
And that's not a joke, either, I know the scripts by heart; I've been playing that saga religiously for 25 years. I can go in depth on how and why the scripts are terrible.. But I won't. And yeah, I suppose it can be done.
But frankly, I don't see the correlation here.
'I looked forward to it'
'Had no idea how to play'
'Let the computer handle that part'
Was it everything you hoped for?
