I admit I didn't read Jim Sterling's review as that's one opinion that is so far removed from my own that I don't take his reviews seriously. My understanding is that the camera issues will be addressed in a patch, hopefully that solves that problem. The rest of your post doesn't sound too encouraging but hopefully I don't consider these things to be a big problem, I didn't have an issue with the controls in the demo so hopefully the main game didn't change too much. 

I also don't disagree that there are detailed reviews, I just said I haven't seen many. I'm not reading through 50 reviews to have my questions answered. Even with your post, it still doesn't really tell me how the game compares to BK or BT. That's the main thing I'm curious to hear. Gamexplain did a decent job but they seem to think BK and BT are very similar. So yeah, I'll have to find out for myself to be sure. 

A lot of it will be taste.  Some peopel hate when games don't learn from the past and such.  And of course humor is highly subjective and is a major part of this game's appeal or lack thereof.

Also, many of the performance issues are mitigated on PC if your rig is good.

I'll be playing on PS4 so I really hope the performance issues are patched to playable level by release. I do think a lot of people looking forward to this game want something that resembles the past. I think Banjo-Kazooie is a near flawless game so I'm hoping to get that. Tooie was a mess at times so I do hope they learned from that game. Unfortunately every review I've read considers BK and BT to be exactly the same, so it's hard to tell which one YL is closer to when everyone says it's like both of them. 

It's just a few days away now, and some of the backers are getting their copies so hopefully some impressions from Banjo fans can shed some light on the pacing of the game. I'll be pretty upset if the backtracking formula from DK64 or Tooie is used in this game.
