SH never bothered me for some reason. I remember my friends being scared shitless when I ran through Midwich Elementary.

Which basically confirms you are simply talking about your preferences. What you are perceiving as inexcusably poorly designed gameplay is simply gameplay designed around the visuals and pacing they were going for. There's a difference between trying to do something and failing at it, and trying something different (that granted may, or may not, be a misguided endeavor). Do note how the 2D game that best pulled off "bombastic" visuals with precise gameplay was probably Donkey Kong Country, and people still criticize it even now for the "imprecise" platforming (not to mention the gameplay had to also be kept generally fairly slow compared to a Dave Perry template). This is just people who simply tie their perception of quality to a very specific set of traits, and conclude that whatever falls outside that checklist MUST be, by definition, "bad". It's that particular kind of consumer that simply can't tell the difference between a bad product and one that appeals to a different kind of consumer.

The game IS fun; it's just not fun for you (which doesn't really say anything bad about either you or the game on its own).
