I haven't watched a lot of gameplay videos really, but it reminds me a lot of Mount & Blade so I'm not expecting flawless gameplay. The battle system sort of feels like something made with the Wiimote in mind - and I can totally see this game or M & B work well with such controllers - but since the game uses the mouse it ends up being a bit clunky.

It's more to do with the hitboxes/hitdetection really and a bit to do with the animations and the impact of the hits. It's not quite the authentic and visceral combat that was originally promised.

I think CLANG might be more what I was expecting in terms of combat realism, but I am not buying a Razer Hydra for one game http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/260688528/clang

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare also looks promising http://www.chivalrythegame.com and more like I was hoping this game was going to be, tho it lacks the scale.
