Unlike many other people I actually like the mechanics in Chain of Memories, and enjoyed creating strategies to get through the game. One thing I've noticed in any playthrough of CoM I've ever seen is that people make sora's deck the same way every time, with cards ordered from big to little followed by magic, then followed by summons, then items. Despite the fact that the game gives you various sleights to do powerful attacks, I found that almost everyone would just stack anything together and hope for something good, even though the sleights are there specifically to help you form a deck that works in different situations. I found a few sleights that worked for me (I personally built a deck around fire raid, blizzard raid, and thundaga) and built that deck so that once I used those twice (I also put a hi-potion and mega-ether since I couldn't get an elixir along with a high value cloud to prevent breaking) I positioned premium attack and magic cards in positions to make sure that they were getting used at the beginning of sleights so that I could make my deck bigger with less cp. If there was an enemy that wouldn't be hurt or would recover from something, I would just use the attack cards from inbetween the magic ones. While this sounds like a lot of work it really isn't, because all of this stuff wasn't done at once, it evolved over time as my cp increased. I get that this is still a bit annoying for players who just want the same action found in kh 1 and 2, i've rarely ever seen anyone attempt to put work into making a unique and powerful deck. So for players who really hated CoM, I suggest giving it another chance, this time trying to make a more complex deck, especally if you're deck is exactly the same as the one I mentioned above. Are you still entitled to hate CoM? Of course you are. ell, as much as I enjoyed the game it's still not my favorite. I also understand that some people just don't want to deal with making a deck, and have other reasons for disliking the game. So please, feel free to share your opinions on the game, as well as why you agree/disagree with me.
