Oh and I loved X.
Pretty much exactly this, except I got to the boss. I struggled a little and was ready to try some tactics to beat it until I realized I didn't care at all and I've never gone back to it.
The game is linear, the world is uninteresting, the gameplay is just a random battle over and over again and the characters just have a lame easily overcome problem that takes about 20 cut-scenes to finally overcome. "Spoon-fed" is the best term for it.
