It was the only thing interesting about the game. Don’t get me wrong I fucking loved both games but their systems were blatantly taken from other games. The combat was copy paste batman arkham games, the gear system was the same white common-orange legendary that literally every single game uses, the stealth was simplified Assassins creed and the whole story was based on the most successful fantasy IP of all time.
They copied the systems from other games to make these ones fucking phenomenal,
I sort of hate the idea that just because another game already did it, it somehow doesn’t count or isn’t interesting for another game to iterate on those ideas.
If it was great when the Arkham games did it, and the Middle Earth games do it as well, then they should be considered as great for doing so
I’d rather use a steel mace then a wooden stick even if the stick did it first.
