I spent two hours with the Xbox One title, but it felt like I was entering random numbers into a computer rather than actually playing a video game.
After a painfully generic story intro, the game began teaching me similarly uninspired combat mechanics. While it tries to sound like an in-depth action game with familiar elements like perfectly-timed blocks and focus meters, the actual experience is anything but deep.
With my left hand completely off the controller, I was able to slice and dice through tons of enemies simply by inputting the same sequence ad nauseum. On a couple of occasions, the game would shift to sequences that involved me defending an area with crossbow stations or ordering my men to block arrows with their shields. These were somehow even less exciting than the tedious swordplay.
i dont know about usa, seem to be a lot of dumb people there, but in europe i can assure you the great exodus is well under way. x360 was my primary console this gen but going back to sony baby aawwwww yeeaahhhh
PS3 dominated Europe despite being release 18 months after 360 in Europe. I can only imagine how much PS4 will dominate next gen.
