    Well that’s the point right? It’s been 10 years. A lot has changed in games and people expect more. That’s reflected in why the game has reviewed ok, but for a FromSoftware game it’s kinda done pretty poorly. This isn’t going to win any game of the year awards and they’re demonstrating that they can’t just take any game and make it great.

      As respectfully as I can say this, so what? I don’t care about it trying to be a mass appeal GOTY art piece that pushes boundaries. I want an AC game with the stupid silly robots blowing shit up. Anything that tales me out building said robots or blowing said shit up is a negative for me. If anything having more bloat with cutscenes and dialogue and exposition detracts from the experience.

        That’s great for you then!

        My comment is just a reply to the original comment that someone said it was laughable that reviewers complained about the lack of story which I think is just oblivious/attempts to excuse the developer for making a certain type of game. Again, the industry has evolved to expect certain things so when it’s not there it’s a valid complaint and reason why this game doesn’t live up to expectations.

        But it’s completely valid for people to just want an action game or movie without a story so if that floats your boat then great.
