I find this quote interesting about open world/gameplay segments and I do feel like its a bit of a cop out. Players experiences and expectations haven't changed towards open world games since its development, it just has a "reportedly" bland open world, I say reported since I haven't played it.
"In the end, the game took much longer than expected to finish, and we realized that players' impressions toward open-world games had changed. That being said, development had already been reset once before (when we started again from scratch with Retro Studios) so backtracking development again was out of the question, and we resolved to move forward with our original vision."
