terryclothI started playing Grandia Xtreme tonight... boy, was that a mistake.
Not that it's a bad game, but it took 3 HOURS to get to the first save point. I didn't want to spend 3 hours playing the game tonight. I wanted to spend about an hour and a half. And god forbid I might have screwed up and DIED... I probably would have returned the game on the spot. Who wants to replay 3 hours, including four or five tediously paced cut-scenes?
People. If you MUST have save points, they should pop up at least once every fifteen minutes or so. You want them *before* big boss battles where people might get killed, and both *before* and *after* long cut scenes that people don't want to see twice and might not feel like watching for a half hour before going to bed.
Gaaaah.
