Oh don't get me started on how dogshit Redux is, there's a reason I'm replaying the DS version.
What's mainly tripping me up is I'd just beaten DDS 1+2 and I can't help but notice how much the character writing pales in comparison here - Jack's Squad is easily the dumbest part of the (original) game to me, feeling more like padding than an organic part of the storyline.
I think my grievances are more with the first half. I wasn't enamored with how much text and tutorilization you have to get through before any gameplay, when the earlier PS2 games and even SNES titles get you into the action a lot quicker.
