The great thing about the spear is that it can freely stab at the enemy, enabling the fighter to target individual hit spots and giving his weapon's reach so much more meaning.

Aiming for specific body parts is integral to any combat discipline (firearm, blade, barehanded, ...) and will expand the gameplay in ways that most gamers can't even imagine. This kind of combat is the revolution the video game industry is in need of, since many years!
The reason it looks clunky in most videos is likely that the people playing it SUCK. A veteran player will surely wield any weapon in the game like a fine instrument of death.
Further, swinging a sword in specific angles and stabbing with it (yes, swords can stab too, my friend) can work just as fine, it's just a matter of programming.
Believe me when I-as a practicioner of historical free-fighting with all manner of weapons, armour and imaginable techniques-tell you that fighting games that do not let you aim at specific points of the body with all weapons defy their potential greatly! Button-mashing combat (like Dragon's Dogma, Ryse, God of War, ...) is not only the worst representation of real fighting I can imagine but also stagnates the industry and stupifies its consumers.
Most of you gamers out there have simply NO IDEA what makes a good fighting game because you know nothing about fighting.
Also, "practitioner of historical free fighting" lol
So i guess that's a self given title after doing this a few times.

My favourite games are Mount&Blade and the Souls Series. Still, this title has something new that the others might very well think to integrate as well.
Dark Souls 2 (as the pinnacle Souls game) is sadly still lacking a free aiming combat-system which is quite a shame considering that it makes almost everything right; yet many other games such as Mount&Blade or War of the Roses already use this. Further the Souls games feature elements that detract from a good fighting experience, namely "Backstab" and "Parry/Ripost".
What it does right however and Deep Down should use as well is an elaborate stamina system (at least it seems to be lacking in the TGS demo).
Concerning my personal experiences, THIS is what I do:

I doubt you've ever experienced anything like this in your life.
