It started off better than I expected, despite the near-infantile "comedy" bits. Sadly, it came crashing down once the unfortunate looking "rock" monster appeared. The need to stay in the game motif really hurt the fight scenes, I thought. They slowed it all down with the jumping and game-looking whatnots and the suit, Level 1 and 2, are both still like taking an icepick in the eye. I'm not much of a fan of the graphic overlays, either. I did like the initial Driver activation with the level generation though. And, despite the abrupt shifts in his mood, I kind of got an Owner vibe from the Director. Overall, I started out thinking I might have to eat my words since it wasn't as horrible as it looked, then it got pretty close to my worst estimate. Still, I'll check out a few more episodes and see where it goes. But since the action sequences and the suits are my least favorite parts of the show, I'm not sure it if the show will be able to climb out of the hole it ended up in.

Edit: There is no need to try to talk me around. If you liked it, great, more power to you, I'm not trying to say don't talk about that (that would be ridiculous). But I'm not going to convince you to come round to my way of thinking and vice versa. Neither position is wrong and differences in opinion are just the way things settle out.
