Comment on Is there a game that you've been very patient for, which turned out to be dissappointing when you finally started playing it?

What made me quit Mirror’s Edge was the combat. I was in it for the parkour; I didn’t really like the combat and kept being forced to fight people. Because of that, I didn’t get far enough in the game to get sick of the mechanics.

Part of the charm of the game was to make its combat unwieldy to push people into parkour-ing past/out of each encounter. The whole game was made so that you could finish it without ever picking up a gun.

It sounds like you didn’t get far enough to learn this.

Well… the game is designed so that

Combat is optional

And

Combat is so hard you’re more likely to do the parkour thing that you’re supposed to be doing anyways.
