What happened to classic action adventure games?

And why are all games nowadays either trying to be open world RPGs with crafting like nu-Ass Creed or Horizon; or uninspired Souls combat missing the forest for the trees?

      Sekiro is mediocre as frick if you've played any notheworthy character action game. The game simply doesn't excel at anything.

            Those games are all miserable in the adventure part. Worse than miserable. There's a reason nobody buys any of that shit anymore.

              Quit pretending like Sekiro is any better. It's practically the most boring souls game when it comes down to exploration. At least least character action games have combat that isn't as shallow as a puddle.

                Agreed. Sekiro is a boring adventure game despite blowing the doors off of Nioh/DMC/Bayo/NG. Please now indicate the post where I mention Sekiro being good.

                kek. Only played NES NG and dropped Bayo 1 after 10 minutes so I'm going to assume they're "just as deep" too, lol

                DMC is literally meant to be played moronic. Walk up to the punching bag and mash. You're never required to do more.

            At least the exploration is leagues ahead of those games, so you're wrong.

              You don't understand what excel means. Souls games excel at exploration. Character action games excel at combat. Sekiro excels at neither. As such there is no reason why I should play Sekiro when there are games out there that do it's aspects way better.

                Sekiro has better exploration than those..

      Sekiro isnt a Souls game, it doesnt even have a stamina system or a moronic focus on rolling

    I just play open world games like they were regular action games. Rush through and ignore everything that doesn't seem worthwhile.

    games aren’t about having fun or exploring anymore they’re about getting streaming revenue or virtue signalling about ethnicity and sexuality

    because if one game sells a lot and has these features, the new game has to have them too, otherwise they'll be seen as lacking in comparison
    why would your average consumer buy Slop Game 1 which doesn't have crafting, when Slop Game 2 does? that's mid af fr fr no cap ong
    there's also just the fact that consoomers want games to be bigger and better looking year after year, which means massive budgets, which can only be recovered by trying to appeal to as wide a market as possible which inevitably means checking off as many boxes as you possibly can in the attempt to cover every demographic, from a 5 year old kid to a 90 year old, as long as they have income you want to appeal to them somehow
    the end result is an open-world game with RPG elements and crafting, it's what the imaginary Average Money-Haver wants, as per their extensive research
