I have to agree with his comment that he wasn't going to finish a game because of artificial difficulty designed to lengthen the game. I recently did the same thing with Far Cry. Got to the final level where every fricken soldier has a rocket launcher and I just said, "No, I'm not finishing this game if it means pulling off a superhuman feat to beat these guys after 50-something tries. Screw it." And I haven't played it since. Gamers need to be more outraged at crap like this.
I can't help but be annoyed by the video player... it consistently fails to load the whole video. Sometimes I get a few seconds, sometimes a minute or two, but eventually it seems to just lose the stream altogether. I've been stuck buffering at 0:25 for the last ten minutes with no data being transferred.
