God Of War Ragnorok icing the lake of nines over for example FromSoft (reusing animations aside) are now pulling out old bosses for Night reign on an altered version of the base games map. Or the Like A Dragon: Yakuza series taking place on the same map for 6 or 7 games. I can't stomach it anymore, it feels like the games isn't a sequel but a standalone DLC and to that matter there are many DLC that price themselves as smaller full games at the 50 mark or so and just plant a new story and campaign on the same map but that's for another thread.
Alan Wake 2 frustratingly took relatively little and made it into nearly a 18 hour game, 24 if you go for the platinum. They are the Kings of reusing stuff, they even reuse everything for the Night springs DLC and slightly reorganise and give it all a face lift, to hold the story for those DLCs.
I also hate this trend of taking 3d models of objects and having an Extras menu for them or in Asreobots case, little gacha items. They've been doing it for years and it serves little purpose, it's there cause it's easy to do. I see no need to look at figurines of the games characters on REmake 2.
Love, hate or indifference?
