...Specifically, did you hold X the entire game and keep them running? Or did you let them relax once in a while and just saunter?

...I was a "Constantly hold down the run button" guy.

So which is it? What combination of the two?

For 7. Held X the whole time. (I don't remember off the top of my head if this game ever had a single moment where it was better to walk then run).

I recently forced FF7 to run at 720p for hours on end on my PC, but given that it was the mid-2010s I don't think it was all that cruel.

Oh, was that not what you were asking?

Some would call running a PC game first intended to run on Win2K on any modern system cruel and unusual...not that I've room to talk, I got the same game you do.

...But yeah I meant player character

Hey, put the cellphone down for a while
In the night there is something wild
Can you hear it breathing?
And hey, put the laptop down for a while
In the night there is something wild
I feel it, it's leaving me

Actually my impulse reaction was that it was about running pc games that run up the edge of your system specs Crysis style.
