ill give my honest opinion here. The game visually looks fantastic, great attention to detail, great animations great everything honestly. however, the game looks boring as fuck. the actual gameplay looks dull and honestly it looks as its an easy game. the killing animations look cool, but after the first 3 times they get boring. why does everyone has to be in slow motion? and since i understand that you cant fail at these finishing moves do i have to wait out until they are done with every enemy? honestly the game looks extremely boring.

That's pretty much exactly how I feel.  I've seen the reveal, I've seen the gameplay trailers and all the hands on stuff, and while it looks stunningly beautiful, it also looks stunningly boring.  

The only Xbox One launch title I'm even cautiously optimistic about is Dead Rising, since it's done by different people than the first two, neither of which were any good, nor did I like them.
