They removed the hold the button down to attack thing. Immediate points just for that. Its a teleport now.
I'm still worried the combat will get repetitive and stale fast, but the game is looking better now.
Still quite a few FPS dips, but the delay will help with those hopefully.
I admit, its finally looking decent. They shouldn't have released that platinum demo, or better, they should have worked a bit more on it before releasing.
