I just played it a month ago and was quite happy with it. Even though I had to force myself through many parts especially early in the game, I really liked DexNav,soaring over Hoenn, secret bases were actually useful (Blissey) the Rayquaza anime space scene, good mega evolutions etc.
Also, I think the stressful parts of the game were only annoying because I replayed Emerald about 1000 times when VBA was released.
