Let's start with the definitely not first, Super Mario Sunshine. The couple hours I spent attempting to replay Super Mario Sunshine brought all my original opinions screaming home. This game just flat out sucks. The camera sucks. It works against you. It only took the first couple of stages without the FLUDD. The ones where you run through those floating gauntlets, the pachinko like tables you navigate down, and those giant slides. I truly find those to be unplayable because of the camera. I found it true then, I find it true now. The game doesn't have that Nintendo polished feel. It looks like it does on the surface. But that's the problem. The one place it's actually most important, the game play isn't polished. It's rough and unfinished feeling. It feels imitation Nintendo. I will not suffer through Super Mario Sunshine. I just can't. Only this time I have no qualms or regrets. It's the correct thing to do. The game blows.
As for the maybe so, Suikoden 3, I'm eight hours in. I've played through Hugo's chapter 1, and Chris' chapter 1. While I'm definitely not hooked as of yet, I can say that I'm enjoying it thus far. I'm taking my time. Not rushing the story. Not freaking out over trying to recruit the 108 Stars of Destiny. This game came out originally in the middle of all the majors of its season. And I believe I was rushing to get to them. Which is always a mistake. But you know how it goes. I will take my time. Give it all the chance in the world to grab me. We'll see how it goes.
