Grafix are great but it looks bad on other fronts.

Combat looks simple and extremly repetitive (but one has to play the game to know that for sure).

It's linear to the point that it looks almost on-rails.

It's too cinematic and has a very artificial feel. Everything is so obvious, so thought out and pre-determined. I hate the presentation.

The player doesn't seem to have free and total 360 degree control of the camera.

Overly critical and prejudice.

It looks amazing, no question, and I will persoanlly reserve judgement on gamplay until I have actually played it. 

I havent seen the same criticism of the Deep Down gameplay for some reason?

I admit I am overly critical. I hate to be that guy.

But speaking of Deap Down I am very sceptical of that game too. It seems to be a Dark Souls wanna-be, just much worse. But I also said that about Dragon's Dogma (a Dark Souls/Elder Scrolls wanna-be) and Dragon's Dogma turned out to be absolutely amazing.

Kow, do you have a relationship with Dragon's Dogma and RPGs in general?
