"True" endings is the biggest disappointment in the game for me

[ARTSQ]

So yeah... I accepted that whole story stops at battle of Chi Bi and one aftermath battle (yeah, just before actual Three Kingdoms are formed).
I accepted the idea of not being able to play famous characters longer than a minute and not even in all battles.
I accepted the fact that not even all weapons present in game are available for player (club, fan, throwing knives). And yeah, the fact that famous characters also use same weapons just with different models and one or two unique moves is also not so pleasant
Because mechanically and visually game is a huge improvement over previous parts.
That is all fine.

But what made my relationships with the game truly mixed is the "True" ending.
Even if you save characters, they just pretend to still be dead, for sake of writers and animators to not do extra work (let alone game designers adding new scenarios to the game). And in the end you just get 2-3 additional dialogues and couple of cinematics.
Compare this to previous parts, where you would get alternative scenarios on some previous missions or even completely unique ones.
Here you can basically open all alt endings in a single evening...

That's just lazy, dear devs.
