Sam is just a badass with that suit, that is what I want to see in shooters LOL
When i was playing, i was just zooming between covers and shooting bitches while powersliding. And how was the HUD overly complicated? Boost bar, four weapons mapped to the d-pad and the radar. End of story. The core shooting felt dated? You aim your gun at the baddies and shoot them till they die, it's not dated it's just how a shooter works :P
Seems to me that you are disliking it becasue it's a third person shooter rather than it atually being bad. And i mean, you don't have to like it, but i don't see why it's so bad. You arguments just make no sense to me what so ever.

I don't think the shooting feels any less tight than, say, Gears of War or something like that. What the game did exceptionally well though, in my opinion, was keeping the tempo high constantly, i've only played through the demo twice but i've never found myself perched behind some block of concrete, just waiting for some guy to poke his head out. It's always fast and intense action. I guess some people will like it and some won't.
yeah, the game is frantic but i don't think "tightening" up the controls would lend itself especially well to the pace of the game. I guess i can agree that the HUD isn't exactly beautiful, but i think it works. It relays the info needed even if it is a bit of an eyesore, it doesn't really bother me since i find the gameplay to be so engaging. I can forgive and forget a ton of nitpicks when a game gets me wrapped up in the action like this.
I read your post again as well and i might have gone over it a bit fast the first time, it deos not seem like you think it's a bad game per se, just that it's not for you. My bad.
Don't take offense, but this is how you're supposed to play Vanquish :P

If you want to have fun with this game you should forget everything you know about third person shooters, screw that whole advancing slowly between cover to outflank bs, go nuts be agressive, abuse the bullet time, boost like a motherfucker and focus on being as awesome as possible.

And I don't agree with anything KORN said :P
And I agree with everything Megido said *shock*
Always on the move poeple,dashing,jumping from cover to slow mo,dashing melee big robots,dashing,dashing!! always!!
Controls when you adjust it to your needs becomes the more tighter controls in any 3rd person shooter,speed of running its fine and in the end doesnt matter at all you are not suposed to be running that much,dashing its what its all about,if you are running from cover to cover you are playing it wrong simple as that.
Now you have to use the boost system strategically,not because you can use it it means you have to drain it every time,use it to take down some robot and move on replenishing it while you are it.
I personally loved it very much,just about everything worked for me that I played it 10 times in a row even more thatn Bayonetta that was 7 times in a row.
Elena Ivanova is hot as hell!!!
After all it all comes down to the game's design. If the developpers really wanted you to play it only one way, they would design the game so that you die if you try to play any other way. The fact that you managed to go through the whole demo shows that they let you choose.
On the move, exagerated style that shows what badass means (among other characters like Ryu Hayabusa of course), super fast, chaotic, intense!
