"It's a technical wonder, never seen before in the industry. Completely unique dialog trees and interactions with NPCs. Elaborate upgrade system. Crafting mechanics. Full open world sandbox experience. Planned DLC for the next 2 years. BattlePass"

Holy fuck I'm tired of this shit

I hate how every AAA game has to be an open world sandbox with loads of extra features. I just want a good story and strong core gameplay.

Which part of that has never been seen before?

It's just schlock that every AAA developer pads their ad campaigns with. You see those accolade trailers with cherry picked reviews toting it's game of the year, claiming it "reimagines everything" or "sets a new standard" , when it's a game built on a 12 year old engine that is showing its age.
