I've never enjoyed their game engines with previous game titles. They always felt cartoonish and clunky, more-so than Mount&Blade. Also, in that video the combat system felt sooooo sloooooowwwwwwwwwwww..wwww..wwwwww....ww.
I'd have to speed that shit up to even feel like I was an actual melee character. Hell, you do shit so slow that you may as well play whatever the fastest swinging character is and you'll probably win all the time. Either way, junk imo, and a lot of players will realize that unfortunately AFTER they purchase the game and are out a bit of cash due to the fact that it SUUHHHHHHHX.
