I really don't know how anybody got that idea.
Honestly I'm more upset about the middle of the game. Things really slow down after chapter, and I find that somewhat disappointing. It's like they thought the player would be feeling combat fatigue after so much action, so they figured it was time for something more slow, scripted, and low key. But really, I just wanted more action.
At the very least, I wish all of the chapters were longer. They tried really hard to put a lot of variety into the game and ensure you'd never be doing one thing for too long, but I think a bit of padding would have actually been nice (aside from the dumb fetch missions). Sometimes I like what I'm currently doing in the game and don't want it to change into something else after like 20-30 minutes.
