I'm totally going to buy X-3 and the audio drama doesn't sound quite as bad as I had feared. I get the distinct impression X-3 is going back to X's more dour and serious tone.
I'm generally a positive person. I can find something to like in almost any game, even FFXIII or VIII. I'm sure there will be parts of X-3 I enjoy and maybe I'll even end up enjoying the whole deal.
I at least foresee good music ahead.
