On too many levels, Legend of Dragoon.
How is that? That game is so awesome. I miss it.
Ah Christ, you wanna know?
Ok, I loved the storyline, and really appreciated the graphics despite a few setbacks. It was fun game that I played through to the end. Which is where the torture begins.
The fucking combat system was slow and crude. What was worse, the one-button combos were retarded and annoying as hell.
I'm now playing the game again to see if I can't affect the storyline. So far, no dice. I don't think it's possible. This isn't an RPG, it isn't even a choose-your-own adventure. Given how easy it is to win almost all the battles, this game really is just an interactive book with spiffy pictures. This is as much a game as, I dunno, the Final Fantasy series (raises flame-shield and directs all power to it).
There is so much to love about Legend of Dragoon but the problems make playing it through a form of torture. Using love to inflict pain upon your paying customers is just vicious, enough so to make me feel uncomfortable about the game.
