I can tell that dark souls games have their audience and good for them to enjoy such slow paced, clunky boring games.
I can not say GOW games have the best gameplay. It is simple, repetitive but fun and definitely faster than DS games. GOW : A in particular made very nice changes to the combat, they added the 2ndy weapons, ariels combos were longer, added the elemental attacks (was not really used though) and the overall pace was faster compared to the old GOW. I was really hoping for SM to build on that.
Now with the reboot, SM has the chance to any change they desire, and I am really concerned that they took the dark souls route, rather than Bayonetta/Neir/Ninja gaiden approach to combat. I know GOW is not as fast paced as these games but it is not as slow and boring as DS games. I really hope SM proves me wrong at this and find the right pace to combat because they could craft the best Kratos ever but without good and fun combat, the game will fall apart, it is hack and slash game after all.
