Exactly.
Like you, I like dramatic sequences in storytelling (if it is done and paced in the right way). Since we've seen quite a deep storytelling in the future games including the comic series, I kind of want to see the franchise giving a break from that kind of stuff.
Of course I will enjoy the single experience once this game is out since that's what IG does best. I just hope to goodness gracious this Ratchet multiplayer game doesn't have a pretty short single experience compared to Ratchet Deadlocked.
