If there’s one thing I’ve learned from current games the past couple years is that if a game mainly markets itself on its visuals, then there is an small chance that's all the game has to offer.
If the game is only 5 hours long and it's on the $60-70 price tag just for it's visuals with lack of good story telling and gameplay, then woo boy.
guess it's just one of those things where one franchise did it first, but another franchise popularized it, like with QTE's, Shenmue technically did it first but og GoW popularized it and now everyone attributes QTE's with the later
