I wouldn't worry too much. It's been getting a lot of positive gameplay impressions in the Gaf thread. It even managed to win a Best of E3 award from Polygon of all places.
Here's one of the impressions from the thread:
Do showfloor impressions go here?
The game is definitely pretty cool. The shooting is solid, although the part I played isn't traditional shooting, as I will further divulge.
First, the showfloor demo is the same as that short video they shown a couple weeks back. I even asked them why did they show such a short video, and the guy said they were told to have that sort of length even thought they had way more to show.
Anyway, I'll only talk about the gun as the level I was playing was still pretty brief (I heard it took people 15mins to beat it even though it took me like 3 minutes). The gun was pretty damn cool. So you go and try to shoot the enemies, but it doesn't kill them. What the gun is supposed to be is like a molotov cocktail rifle. It fires rounds that creates a phosphorous cloud, and then you shoot a secondary fire to ignite it. So I spray the general area of the enemy, ignite it, then I continue shooting to make sure they completely burn to death.
I think what's drawing me into this game is all the fancy tech that seems futuristic, yet is Victorian style.

Well, that gives me a little more hope. I'm of course keeping an open mind and the guns definitely look cool, but the game has to also give you real challenges for the guns, not just the shooting galleries we've seen until now.
