Something tells me it is going to be everyone’s excuse soon if this is going to be the new thing that will replace the constant flow of gritty brown shooters.
I am sure they were saying the same thing about gritty fps back in 06. See what I am getting at here?
and also a lot of open world games lack a lot of focus when it comes to narrative and world building. Look at Skyrim. the story is pretty flat, and the world though beautiful is lifeless.
