Any bullshit excuses in sequels, to have us repeat the same shit we did in the first game or acquire the same weapons or techniques we unlocked through playing on the first game.

I’m looking at you, Horizon Forbidden West, GoW Ragnarok, marvels Spiderman 2 etc. Why the hell would I wanna start off weaker than the previous games ending? Defies all logic and sense. And any excuses like “duh the machines in FW have new code so you have to re-tame them all over again” or whatever bs writing excuse to remove guardian shield skills is such bs

For the love of God just let us build upon where we left off in term of skill and powre if its literally the same fucking characters ffs.

I hate this trend so much.
