If anyone watched to SDCC panel, they said that the combat they've shown to this point is basically just thrown in because they had to work up a playable presentation of the game for E3. It was mainly supposed to focus on the cinematic action feel of the game, and show off the technical prowess. The combat is still undergoing a lot of work.
They say we will see a much better representation of the combat at Gamescom. Where they will also show off multiplayer for the first time btw.
