I think the problem with both is that the game mechanic is pretty crap after you've levelled a bit. There is in reading grinding to get to further levels and worthwhile drops or collectibles become less frequent by virtue of your level already achieved. It happens in lots of games but its particularly egregious in these games whose main mechanic is button spamming rather than skilled.
