GD: The Annoyance of Mini-Games

GD: "I hate mini-games. Or micro-games, or whatever those game-within-a-games like to be called these days. I'm looking at you, Mario 1Up bonus area, FFX Monster Ranch and Butterfly Hunt, FFX-2 Calm Lands games and publicity campaign, and heck knows how many others.

..I'm a completist. That means that whenever I play a game, I play not only to win and have some fun, but to get every last secret, every bonus, every ultimate weapon. To that end, I'm often a reader of strategy guides, GameFAQs, and every other "cheat" or helper under the sun. If I made some goofy mistake and saved it, I'll open up a new file and begin anew. I'm that much of a completist. I can't stand playing a game knowing that I missed something REALLY good. And it's really frustrating when you think you SHOULD be able to get something and for some bizarre, inexplicable reason (like having to catch blue butterflies), you can't."
