People are just a bunch of impatient children these days. If you can't speedrun it, it's apparently no good.
yea it reminds me of the toxic side of the hollow minded Dynasty Warriors fanbase that play the games solely for the twitchy stage select, cutscene driven, and instant gratification action, that are complaining about open world and ignoring the fans that want and UNDERSTAND open world.
"duhhhhh why open world? that's too big for my pea brain mind."
"duhhhh there is nothing to do in open world, I too dumb to create my own fun in a open world"
"duhhh travel is too long, I want teleport travel, dat open world is too long and make me feel slowww"
"duhh there is no action. I want action everywhere all the time"
it's because of those idiots complaining about things that aren't problems, that more open minded people don't get more nice things. even if a developer gives options for both playstyles, they still complain.
and they also complain about clone moveset, which is dumb because they can't even begin to make the game more realistic and immersive, if people have too ridiculous weapons to begin with. and even previous DW games showed that character with same type of weapon, can still have moveset differences.
and then there are the backwards thinking fools that think the series should cut characters, when all characters have their fans, so really the bad complainers really are a bad influence if the devs listen to them overall.
