That sounds egotistical because it is, but its also me using my experience with many games to judge how others play out. Thankfully this means I'm more lenient to certain "flaws" people have when in reality its usually fair standard with the genre or not as bad as it seems if this one game is one of your few entry windows to the genre.

Like people complaining about cutscenes in rpgs for example. Like bruh, thats literally a majority of the appeal of the genre. You WANT to get immersed in the narrative they're trying to tell.
I get it the rpg's in general have cutscenes but when a majority of your game is literally movie and not much gameplay then you basically paid $70 for a CGI movie then a game
