[QUOTE="JYoungin20years"][QUOTE="1PMrFister"] I thought it was really tedious and boring once the novelty of the art style wore off. The game has some of the worst cases of artificial lengthening I've seen in a game, and that's not an exaggeration. If they had taken out all the pointless "You have to go back and get this" quests, it would've been much more enjoyable.1PMrFister
Yeah, damn those developers for putting some challenge into their games! Lost in Shadow is an excellent example of platforming innovation this generation. But, naturally, you'll disagree with me.
Please don't twist my words. Challenge is not the issue here (the game's relatively easy from beginning to end regardless). The problem is the game goes on for far too long. The puzzle mechanics and art style are cool at first, but the game stops building on them in any meaningful way halfway through, and it gets monotonous really quick. It's made even worse by the massive amounts of padding, especially getting all the memories at the end. Having to trudge through the tower all over again just to grab a bunch of Macguffins, especially with the generally slow pacing of the game, is not fun, it's just really tedious and pointless. Again, had they dealt with these issues, they could've had something great, but it's just too monotonous for me to recommend picking it up at anything more than a bargain-bin price.So, what it all comes down to, is you being lazy enough to not finish 100 hour games that are universally agreed upon as having launched gaming into the next world. I finished many games when I was 10, such as Earthbound, and I find Earthbound quite easy, because I know everything about it. By the way, what makes the game tedious and pointless in those areas? I'd like to know, as I'm not seeing any problems with it other than superficial ones.
