Obvious trans-plant aside, the game went from a spy game to assassin's creed-lite.
It's not even the same genre anymore. Instead of just continuing the now non existent spy shooter genre that very few games actually were at the time, they made it something else entirely.
So they don't want the old audience, which is fine, because I don't want this.
I, like most guys in their late 30's, played a ton of shooters in the late 90's early 00's.
The last one I tried was Metro Last Light, and I couldn't finish it, it was a chore. I did like Deux Ex: Mankind Divided, and in the past couple years played and enjoyed Fallout 3, New Vegas, and 4. Still, none of those are really shooters, even though shooting is a core mechanic.
I'm not saying their direction is the best -- going more Deux Ex probably would have been more my speed -- but I do understand that they felt the need to change up the formula.
