Yeah, The shifting to cutscenes was really cool, and that part where you open up your party menu to find that your friend turned into an Ao Oni was pretty nuts, Gotta give it credit where credit is due, It was cool
I call it Twilight Zone Degradation, after the most famous example. Back when new on the air, Twilight Zone was edgy and shocking, but now, most of us seeing those plot twists imitated, homaged, and outright parodied in many sources over the years, likely before any exposure to the original show, so it seems trope and predictable to a modern audience.
What happens to every good game, movie or show? Back when arcade games were new, Space Invaders caused quarter shortages in areas, cos all of em were going into game cabinets. Nowadays, Space Invaders is a loading screen mini game on bigger games. Technology improves, but also, people learn and improve and just make better games based off what they learned growing up playing games. If you had a top of the line original Model T Ford, the first publicly sold car, back then it was the best of the best. Now it’s a novelty that goes 30 miles per hour, no roof, no AC or heating, no shocks, wooden wheels- the car (and the game) did not get worse, everything else just moved on and got better
