Not entirely a response to the question but in a way it already surprised me early on. My perception of this game has been somewhat the opposite of many other people
When it was first revealed and we didn't know much other than it looked like a squad based TPS with people talking about GOW, I dismissed it, thinking "Oh no, don't tell me Sony's gonna try to clone Gears of war... pass". Other than the nice setting which i enjoy, It just seemed like it would be a game not up my alley. This is based on the E3 2013 teaser, with no in game footage, and people's expectations of it from it
Then as 2014 showed more of the game, my interest grew bigger and bigger until the point where it is my most anticipated game right now
It quelled all my fears slowly but surely; no focus whatsoever on MP, focus on story, world and characters, more gameplay other than straight cover shooting all the time, great soundtrack, interesting weapons (long live recoil) and RAD's passion for the lore they've created. Looks like a game tailored for me. Beat my initial negative expectations (when people had positive ones)
