Complicated combat engine makes this game boring & frustrating - Keep it simple - Prime example GOD OF WAR

Another (Japanese) title with camera control issues and complicated combat engine (I dont hate Japan and I am not being racist here this is purely video game related). The combat in this game is so complicated - I got annoyed before I even finished the tutorial! The movement and camera control reminds me a lot of other famous Japanese titles such as Resident evil and the battle reminds me a lot of Final Fantasy (both of those games I think are crap btw). I NEVER understood why do you have to go on a BATTLE MODE? And Why cant you just have free control to shoot and kill anyone you like any time? This game sux, because all you do is time your kill and then press a button and you sit back and watch a video of the combat being executed! WHAT IS THE POINT OF ALL THAT? I dont want to watch combat I want to play it! And what is with the camera control? Same as resident evil (the older titles) the camera is not positioned behind the person, but its fixed somewhere in the environment and you just walk around to the "SIDES" of the screen until you go to the next part of the map and so on.....
All these companies who make these kind of games should take a good example of games such as GOD OF WAR and come up with something decent. God of war proves how simple and fun a game can be - especially with its simplistic combat system. Lucky I bought it from ebay for $30.
