This used to be my favorite game. Then ICO came, I tried to adapt but it's just not fun anymore, takes the casual gameplay out of it for me.

ICO in a nutshell: you have noodlearms, you're drunk and never held a gun before. Rifle handling is being developed by people who have never been on a range.

Also no point in making the rifle handling "realistic" when you can get shot in the head and patch yourself up with a bandage.

Sad to see my favorite game be ruined by changing the core mechanics I fell in love with...
