This isn't anything bad, it's just a "Tell me a story" mode and a "I don't care about the story, let me shoot some aliens" mode. Nothing wrong with it, it just lets the less skilled players go through and play it all without the humiliation of a "casual" difficulty. Automated responses is a decent option, as it essentially makes the game a simple third-person shooter. If you want to play the way you always have played, the option hasn't been removed, but now the less skilled players (looking at you, Michael from Rage Quit) is capable of having a chance to play through it all without the "What the... How does that make any sense!?!" that is regular in modern games.
