Of course, this way MS can get away with its always online BS from the start of the gen, using "teh power of the cloud" as an excuse to pull it off. And of course, some just lap it up. |
Destructible environments do look even better this gen. You should check out Crackdown 3. Also, while watching Crackdown 3, open another tab and read up on it, the game is not always online. You can play the game entirely offline.
Now, complaining and starting up conspiracy theories about why online is required for... online components, is a whole nother issue. I'm wondering, does it also bother you that online leagues in sports games requires online? Driveclub's online club mechanics, you have to be online for those. Is that an issue? Star Wars Battlefront is a huge holiday 2015 game. I think you have to be online to play its online modes.
Now, since you're speaking factually about how better destruction can be this gen, where did you see this at? More specs doesn't automatically mean better destruction. The GeoMod engine was amazing and Voalition spent over a decade building and fine tuning it. You don't get better looking destruction just by having more specs. BF3 and BF4 have better specs but don't have better destruction.
