Game is out in terms of videos etc and here are what three users on GAF who I personally thought seemed like the type who were "Lol its GoW, how can it not be as good as the rest" felt after watching/glancing through =>
"Watched the entire walkthrough on youtube(while skipping around a lot), just to check out the "epic" moments and such. Definitely a step below GOW3 in that regard, and the story is silly and superflous."
"Watched the entire game. This is def super puzzle focused compared to GOW3. It also has a much much better combat system. The story is dumb and the boss fights are very very bad and in my opinion is easily the worst of the series."
^Quote to the one above: "Yup so true. sigh.."
Seems rather clear to me that the SP didn't have that much thought into it compared to the mainline entries.
