  I'm so hyped about this game I hope the combat is as good as described.  What I don't want is the combat to be too hard to utilize.  I hope it's not like Mortal Combat special moves  UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, UP, LEFT, LEFT, DOWN, then you decapitate someone or block a sword.  So I pray they don't screw this up.

  I didn't really like a couple parts to the article.  The first being:
  
  
  
  "For Xbox 360 controller fans, it is likely that the right analogue stick does the work. If so, that should be the most intuitive way to play."
  
  
  
  I read "intuitive" as "easiest."
  
  
  
  and
  
  
  
  "They're cinematic, tree-branching dialogue quests. In the traditional scrolls and chat boxes of MMOs, it's all too easy to skip through mountains of text."
  
  
  
  I see what they're trying to do with this, but the fact is that it gets horridly old and monotonous past level 5.  EQ2 did this, and even incorporated voice overs and all you do is just click through the text.  I tried my hardest to click through text for a quest responsively, and it took for-freaking-ever and got me to the same place as if I had just clicked blindly through the text. 
  
  
  
  I ended up clicking through the text quickly, then opening my quest log and reading the shortened version.
