I can understand your point. I grew up more in between myself, and I experienced both grinding for something and just getting to it quickly without much efforts, and everything in between. Games I enjoyed the most in general offered a good balance and made the grinding feel satisfying. For me this game falls more in the side of too much grinding for too little unfortunately, it doesn't really feel rewarding and my boner is pretty much gone by the time I get to the good stuff. Buuut I'm still gonna power through it because I want to see all the content it has to offer.I know, today we all are "game eater", we want finish a game fast to play another to see new scenes. I'm an old player, my first game i play in internet was World Of Warcraft, a game where you have to grind for money, grind for exp to level up your hero, grind for better armor and weapons. Today grind for me it's just a walk but i can understand you. My satisfation it's not to see some sexy image but to be able to see them. One image only satisf your eyes, the path to reach them satisf your brain, just my 2 cent opinion.
