The awful characters(especially the ones butchered from 2) and the lack of subtlety(when you played 2 you had no idea if the devs were serious or not. It was like watching The Room and 3 is like watching Sharknado) makes playing that game feel like watching an AR Fox match to me. Except in a magical made up world where I used to think AR Fox was good. I'm much more looking for 'the total package' when it comes to open world games. I need a world, I need characters, I need things to do. I need a reason to keep using the gameplay you've designed. Unlike an arcade game where the gameplay is the game and that's good enough for me.
