the problem is that the gameplay has been near perfect since GOW1. Every installment afterwards has tweaked the gameplay a little but put more focus into graphics, story, and epic setpieces. However, if these "experts" had actually watched the demo, they would have realized how much new stuff was being shown. Picking up weapons off the ground, new attacks, leaving the blade in an enemy and slinging them all over the place/into other enemies( while fighting the elephant, he leaves one blade in a goat and continues to attack with the other) , the time-warping mechanic, some type of rage from picking up orbs (after he kills the brass-furnace statue), New enemy types, oh and the fact you get to fight a kraken...possibly from the inside out.
