I didn't like SMT4 either. Not just because it squandered such a strong introductory act by having the story fed to you crumble by crumble, but because the map was such an annoying hassle to deal with. Plus, your fellow Samurai got on my nerves every time they opened their mouths.

Strange Journey looks pretty good, and it's getting a 3DS remake, so there's no better time to check it out. But still, I've been watching Nocturne videos, and I don't think any SMT has come close to the greatness of those few PS2 games. The different directions you can pull the story, the atmosphere, the implementation of various religions' themes, and the tactical strategy the game demands of the player makes Nocturne feel like the perfect SMT, and it makes me so disappointed that I gave up because Matador handed me my ass. It's definitely not an SMT for newcomers, which I very much was when I played it.
