I'm gonna share a little nugget of truth here: I never finished playing. Didn't even get that far.
I didn't totally dislike the game itself, wanted to give it a chance... but just one thing
completely ruin'd the entire experience for me:
The minute I was forced to play as this asshole as my party leader is the last day the disc saw the inside of my 360. I was done. I hated Hope that much. I don't even care if he somehow redeems himself later in the game... I lost all desire to even try to get that far because of the little douchebag.
