It’s all just so unrelentingly French. If I have to watch that man wiggle his head Frenchly one more time I’m not letting him dodge or parry for the rest of the game.

'fraid so, time to head to c/selfcrit
Seriously though, there’s only so many base mechanics, genres, stories etc to go around, so they are going to blur together as they get combined in different ways, but that doesn’t make the gestalts created from them a problem in themselves. The actual problem is the profit motive driving bland combinations with mass appeal - the PS2 era was a golden age for it, but you do still see developers combining them in interesting ways that improve the experience rather than just watering down both parts.
