8 Ways All Video Games Are Becoming Exactly The Same
5. Skill Trees & Abilities That Don't Mean Anything
Ever since the release of Far Cry 3 in 2012, games have embraced the idea of skill trees. Unfortunately, they haven't grasped what made the system so enjoyable in the first place.
Because instead of providing players with brand new ways to play and new abilities, more often than not skill trees offer little more than incremental upgrades to a character's current skill set.
There's nothing fun or rewarding about increasing a character's accuracy by 5%, and if developers aren't going to put the time and effort into creating a skill tree that actually has exciting and desirable upgrades, then they might as well not include one at all.
