Yeah, this game definately isn't the button masher everyone thought it would be. Today, the devs said that if you try to button mash later in the game, "you will get your arse handed to you."
I played the demo about 20 times and my conclusion is that this is no button masher. I was hoping to see more free-form combos from this game; the demo delivered in spades. Hack a person up a couple of times, then kick his friend in the face, then counter some other fool, then launch a dude into the air and kick his ass, then...you get the idea. Button mashing in this game only gets you in trouble. It leaves you vulnerable to counter attack. It is also a good idea to take advantage of Nariko's speed and stay on the move.
I can't wait for this game to come out. I hope it is HARD or has a Hard mode that is in the Ninja Gaiden level. I look forward to busting people up.

* It is when I stopped button mashing that I found some appreciation for the auto-block/counter system.
i agree. everyone is complaining about this game being a button masher game but unless you learn the combos i can get hard. my friend tried to play it the first time he button mashed and died within 30 seconds of the fighting.
