>>45845795I agree with what you say conceptually, any feature that effectively replaces gameplay for convenience is bad imo, but in this case they’re merely there to allow you to skip over the boring, unengaging gameplay and instead get straight to the actually good gameplay. Only issue is that they aren’t post game exclusive so you can shatter absolutely any semblance of challenge.
Back in MY day, if you wanted to break the game for yourself you had to actually go way out of your way to do it, making the more practical decision to just play normally. These days it’s visa versa
