If we're all being honest with ourselves, what he described is exactly what we've been seeing since this games's first gameplay reveal.
Amazing graphics
Cool Characters, rich atmosphere
Simple and generic third person shooter mechanics
Highly scripted and linear gameplay events
No preview has said anything outside of the above things. Whether they turn out positive or negative seems based on the segments they played and whether they put more weight on the first two points, or the latter two.
My personal take is that people (myself included) are still caught up on the idea of this being more then just a 3rd person shooter. Ready at Dawn shot themselves in the foot when first selling the game as a dynamic action adventure title. I don't have the quote but before we saw actual gameplay I remember reading several time that the game couldn't be sqeezed into a box, and that gameplay changes on the regular. Based on what we've seen its clearly just a 3rd person shooter with occasional down time/low key gameplay fitted in here and there. If theres a lot more to the gameplay style that they haven't shown us then they are at blame for choosing the least inspiring gameplay segments to the sell the game on. In regards to looking at it from the perspective of a shooter, it still doesn't look amazing TBH.
