That's not how graphics in a game work. It isn't just about copying and pasting. There is a certain limit to the resources that can be put on the CPU and the graphics card. Having an open, dynamic world puts a strain on the system as does these puddle/reflective type graphics. I think more people would enjoy an overall dynamically rendered game as opposed to putting a ton of resources into puddles.

Water reflections are unquestionably worth it IMO. Have you ever played Forza 7? I don’t know of any aspect of the new Spiderman game that suffers from these good looking puddles, and I really appreciate what authentic reflections bring to a game.

Jesus H. Christ, you need to relax man. If the puddle is so fucking important to people, can't you just accept that and let them be clueless on their own? Acting like a moron by addressing points nobody raised teaches me nothing, and hardly benefits you in any way except for this elegant display of yours. If anything is ridiculous, it's teaching random people with subjective preferences how to use game engines...
