Its a shame red wasn't there to see it because he only played through the other set of 4.
He would have hated that stage, lol.
At the very least I can tell you that if you choose to just do the other 7, and continue onto Death Man on your other save, you aren't actually missing any content. So if it gets to the point where you absolutely can't stand to finish that stage, you don't miss anything by not choosing to finish it.

First character was a dumbass. Very slippery and kinda competent, but casual about everything in a "Well, since I don't grow back, I just need not to get hit" way (he still tries his darndest not to get hit, mind you).
At some point the world fused with a "parallel dimension" one or something and I switched character. People started asking me if, then when I'd bring the first one back. So at some point I switched again to tease them, by making the "parallel world version" of that guy. So technically it was the same person! But not who they wanted. To avoid always playing the same type of character I used the excuse of "split timeline" or close enough to give the new one the same base, but gone in a different direction and upbringing, resulting in a lazy, vulnerable (average Joe, so super weak in the context of the average rpg ) and rather cowardly dude.
And when I see all these intriguing/interesting situations/characters/etc. I get that itch because I want to know, like a puzzle you wanna solve just for the joy of discovering the pieces, putting them together and getting the whole picture. But. I. Can't. because that'd out of character and I refuse to bend things to still get him involved in them too often or when it'd be too artificial.
But it itches so bad! >.<
Man that first character had a bunch of flaws and after playing him so long he had a lot of baggage that restricted him a bunch in other ways, but being able to just jump anywhere made his foolhardiness his best trait.

oh yeah on disk and cut content is what i men't by what i don't like.
Didn't Yango talk about this when putting the new trend of online games with regular patches on blast for basically providing players with open betas?

I understand what you are saying and agree with most of it. Especially that the community has a responsibility to respond and provide feedback and that will keep the companies in check. And of course that custom content producers are good for the community. But I really think that the releasing of incomplete games would be less if they didnt have DLC options to fall back on. I think its now part of the design process to plan to release further content for money, and while thiats not a bad thing by definition, I think its generally having a negative affect.

Sure, but I think that's a pointless argument. "DLC" conceptually is an inevitability of digital distribution as we have now. I don't see a conceivable scenario where DLC as a *concept* wouldn't exist. So arguing that it's existence is a negative impact on game development philosophies might be right, but is also an utterly pointless argument to make.
