I hate this game, why does anyone play it?

Metal Gear lets you skip.

If you can't put up with pauses due to translation in speech in a game with one of the richest storytelling experiences I've ever had, you don't deserve to play it.

You're outnumbered by the people who bitched me out for "not giving it a chance" I'm afraid, so I had to satisfy them (and prove them wrong that I "couldn't give it a chance") by playing it, which gave me the right to say anything I wanted about it. And it isn't a rich storytelling experience. The plot is predictable (I saw every twist coming a mile away because my IQ needs to be spoken in more than one syllable) the characters are annoying and even when the voice acting isn't full of pauses I don't want to hear it anyway. I want to smurfing skip it.

Concerning Tidus' so-called whining... other people have said it best about how crazy it must have been to be uprooted from your world and your life, to be placed in a different one where you know nothing, and everyone you've ever loved and relied on is gone. I'd whine too.

If I were directing a game with that character in, I wouldn't be sadistic enough to cast such a whiny voice actor. I at least found his Japanese voice far more tolerable, if only because I had no idea what he was saying.
