You will notice… when a dev realizes they’ve made something they can’t top all the sudden “ we wanted to try something new “. It’s an age old excuse for being out of ideas. A la… Bethesda with Fallout and 76/Starfield. Bungie making a simple extraction shooter late in the game instead of full size expansions or D3. Cod every other year, Battlefield, the list goes on. The only thing that’s consistent is the games going down in scale and quality with the price going up. The ONLY studio that doesn’t do that is Rockstar. And not coincidentally they have the most anticipated and biggest releases in gaming because it is known that every new game is going to blow people away. Gaming is truly in the worst state it’s ever been.
