It strikes me as more than a little odd that one would retry a game another 3 times after the first 35 hour play-through sucked.
I'm not following you here, convincing you of what?... wow, that almost came really close to convincing me.Some time after I decided to stop being a little bitch and realise that the post PS1 era is over and quality like that would be impossible to achieve again. After this realisation the game was pretty awesome.
