Why? Why did this look so fucking MEDIOCRE? I've been giving this game the benefit of the doubt since the Gamescom footage a while ago, and while they've cleaned up the framerate issues, the gameplay just looks beyond dull. The bow and arrow looks incredibly flimsy, you might as well be throwing pebbles at the bosses. Actually this is a problem with the combat as a whole, there's no impact to it. When the MC switched to dragon / melee form the attacks still looked weak and incredibly basic, or when he got flung onto the giant enemy crab's weak spot and started lightly banging on it for massive damage. Getting on the dragon isn't really an impressive feat either, you just float there and shoot some fireballs.
It almost feels like they wanted to replicate DMC except they forgot to include any semblance of fast paced action or in-depth combo system while also getting in on the Monster Hunter train with 4-player hunting co-op, except the combat looks completely brain-dead.
Is Microsoft getting their fingers too deep into the development or is this just one huge misstep for Plat / Kamiya?
I agree. The gameplay reminded me of a shitty neo-WOW raid boss fight.
I'm hoping they will have bosses require precise coordination to beat them instead of just "EVERYONE SHOOT HIM, NOW EVERYONE DODGE HIM, NOW KILL HIS ADDS" bullshit.

They're shilling the co-op multiplayer too much. Where the fuck was the single player campaign stuff? We saw better footage last year.
it look okay, but them seemingly dropping everything Platinum is about and going for open world RPG meme is disappointing
I think that this game isn't trying to be fast paced action and is more about the bond with your dragon pal, but those moments aren't attention grabbing and platinum-like, so MS shows the action portions instead. I think Scalebound is closer to Okami than anything else
It's a typical action game, that's why. It wasn't presented as anything more though so my expectations have always been kept low. Horizon really gives it a run for it's money though
This is what happens when you mix mechanical gameplay and set pieces, they don't match.
Uncharted set pieces looks good because they completely focus on them and there is barely any gameplay.
Souls work because there is no set piece crap and it's almost just pure gameplay.
Scalebound and FFXV is trying to mix the two and it looks bad.
