I would say you really right. I find it worrisome that they are grasping at straws for the build up to this years release. Like really? Your big reveal for GameStop Monday is that we get relatively the same **** we get every year for a pre-order? Cool.
Once again every bit of their marketing shows what direction they want to take this series in. Eventually everything will be DD related and I wouldn't be surprised if they just scrapped franchise altogether
