Yeah, just remember that when people trash your work like that what they're motivations are. Are they seriously critiquing your writing in hopes of helping you to become a better writer, or are they just trashing it because they don't like your opinion? Always consider the source.

Speaking of King's Field, I played that not too long ago on a friend's Playstation, and the gameplay was about as blah, blah as it possibly could be, but there was one part where you're in a mine cart and I could swear you can see forever when you look down. Nothing in a game has given me a sense of a fear of heights like that since the swinging chandeliers in Super Castlevania 4. If the virtual reality maze is anywhere near as cool as that, I'd like to see it.
