Posting my thoughts on Gates, now that I'm done with it. Is it harsh? Yeah.
But by analyzing everything, both positive and negative, it becomes much easier to pinpoint what's generally considered a good or bad about anything, and notice things people are more likely to overlook. I tried to be as thorough as possible with my analysis, under the assumption that almost nobody here actually played through Gates, so it's not just "mon variety sucks!"
