Bolded: that annoyed the hell out of me at first but i have gotten over myself as i play on an old ps4 model and i can't call it lazy but i'm curious how it will look on the PS5.

About the pacing problem:Will that be as obvious for new players of the franchise as it is for us?Because we constantly expect the original story to continue but a new player might not feel the things in between as being filler that much as we do.

I think the missions attached to the Chapters you spend in the slums would be identified as filler even by new players. They're self-contained, involve low-stakes situations, mundane tasks and don't affect the plot much.

Spoiler!

While things like going with Jessie to get explosives would be seen as just part of the story by a new player (that chapter is so far the best addition to the original game to me).

True,but good that most of the events that can be considered filler are optional while the interesting addons to the main storyline are mostly interesting.

Although some might feel forced doing the fillercontent because of their timely existence.
