Actually this particular video made me not want to play it. The god awful player and the incessant tutorial annoyed me so much. If I hear "scout flies" one more time I'm gonna scream. Felt as if the game was made for 5 year olds.

Yeah, this looked like the fears of dumbing down are not unfounded. Scout flies look like cheat mode, you have no need to search and find stuff yourself. I think searching and learning the environment is part of the game. What showcks me, is that the endurance bar never dipped below half full. Hopefully this is because the player didn't dodge much, but if they made it easy by removing the importance of endurance, the game will feel shallow. I do like though the attacks with environment, the player shooting some structure in the trees that falls onto the monster.

I personally have no problem with making a game easy. As long as they have an optional harder mode, which really wouldn't be hard to implement.

Making it more accessible can do a lot of good for the franchise as it was usually pretty hard to get into.
