Late to this party but I gotta say I am aghast. I don't personally have an issue with BW having lower quality gameplay and animations than other developers. I am used to that.
I have an issue when at least 80% of the cutscene animation and mocap is clearly cut and paste from the previous versions of the game and somehow the combat, not just the animations, but the companion AI, power precision, responsiveness, environmental interaction, all of it, is worse than its predecessor.
Did they change the engine so we could jump and tumble? If so, help us! Hopefully it really is just an outdated demo, but I simply don't understand why you wouldn't stick with the previous engine and just tweak the abilities a bit if this is the result.
Not threatening to cancel pre-order or anything. The fun is still there just diluted. And somewhat like the SW prequels I am gonna see it through for closure if nothing else. But I sure hope this story delivers because so far I am not impressed.
Edit: On a positive note, I am glad that they adjusted the abilities to be more useful overall and to have more customization and development to them including some synergistic stuff. Hopefully the gear customization brings back some of that ME1 feeling as well.
