ACV and VD were radically dialed down from 4 and FA. AC's were smaller, much less agile or durable and now you can't mount actual back weapons anymore, only more primary weapons.
After 4 and FA revamped gameplay to focus on mobility and action, it was a massive step down. It was just slow in general. VD did improve things a bit and even did a story link to FA by showing it was a distant sequel but it still didn't quite get there.
