Yeah, I feel like I'm totally on the same page as you. Analytic philosophy always seemed like a bit of fun to me, but seemed to boil down to logic games that have as much application to the real world (as a simulation and explanation of it) as boolean, programmed representations of it do. Which is to say, some.
That doesn't mean I don't have immense respect for analytic philosophers, but I have the type of respect for them that I also have for fiction writers that create immensely consistent and engaging fantasy worlds. Zing!
Continental seemed to me to more generally have the view that all debates and philosophies were necessarily making ontological and epistemological claims. That immensely appeals to me.
