Because none of that undermines how bad the combat looks and how generic a lot of the rest of it is
The core of your post doesn't do anything to rebut what I'm seeing because enemy variety and encounters doesn't fix poor animations and slow combat that looks derivative of games far better.
I liked most of what I saw because it looks like an Uncharted-like game, but:
1) There's something off about the graphics. It looks like textures and lightning aren't quite there
2) The combat seems to be only fun and challenging when he's fighting the "anti-Jedi" guy. The Stormtroopers are one-hit kill enemies that apparently can't even hurt you, so I can see this becoming boring in 5 minutes.

It's an alpha build
The character rendering leaves something to be desired. Ian has never looked this goofy on Shameless!
Looks fun to me from the demo. Souls combat but a bit easier, which was GOW 2018 bread and butter anyways.
It doesn't have to reinvent anything, just be a good star wars story. Graphics were somewhat underwhelming, but I'm just going to take a good gameplay and compelling narrative because Star Wars has been missing that for awhile.

That was a total snooze. If the game isn't as generic as it looks here, they sure picked the perfect way to deflate hype for their game.
The only thing I thought looked a little off was the double jumping. I get that we have the force, but something about seeing a realistic character suddenly get the boost without some sort of other visual indicator (unless I missed it) looked weird.
Minor nitpick regardless.

Yeah, with that in mind they probably should have shown that off. On the other hand I rather see that for myself when I play it.
A character who wears a helmet troughout the story or a strange/unique looking face would've been my wish for such a game.
That looks really boring.
Will have to check it out after it comes out as it could be good but the showing was bad.

It releases in 5 months, which means that they would have to submit the launch game for certification etc. 2-3 months from now at the latest to Sony, MS etc.
So yeah, major changes would be a surprise (unless this demo is from an extremely old build).
Just because I want something doesn't mean I have to accept when what I'm getting doesn't exactly excite me.
That's completely possible, though if true they probably should have picked a better slice of the game to show off. First impressions and all. I'm guessing many gamers potentially see more value in actually seeing gameplay first hand, versus simply reading about it.
Reminded me of Lara Croft jumping in the newer games. It's there to serve as a gameplay interaction with the world, which is fine, but it looks WAY off because the physics is basically nonexistent.
That sound really cool.
Certainly way better than what was shown. Will keep an eye for it.
This is not to excuse CoD/Battlefield either, but those games don't exactly hold up their protagonists as paragons of virtue; just normal soldiers trying to survive. The whole point of Jedi as overpowered magic samurai is that they shouldn't need to use lethal force to subdue the rank-and-file that don't represent a real threat. The Empire has never been represented as a monolithic entity comprised of wholly evil individuals that deserve to die down to a man--just look at Finn from the new trilogy as an example of Stormtroopers who don't just buy into the Empire's morality and agenda. Would it have been right for a Jedi to slaughter him before he had his revelation?

Looks like a game I'll have fun going through once. If the GI article is right I will enjoy it even more if their is exploration. The combat is what I expected from a cinematic Star Wars game. People expecting DMC combat are just fooling themselves. I just hope it's not as clunky as Force Unleashed and not too scripted. GOW had a good balance of depth and cinematic combat. If it's close to that, I'll be happy.
My only issue right now is the main character. The couldn't have chosen a more generic one. I hope he is well written at least. I hope this game is good and succeeds. We need more Star Wars games that just rely on the Star Wars name like Battlefront games.
Edit: Oh the double jump? Why is that even there?

I'm disappointed that this is the demo they showed after reading that GI article. I didn't think this looked bad, really, just kinda bland. Everything interesting I guess we'll see later?
Not sure about that gameplay, sympathetic protagonist and cool time period though. My general feel is that its a game that could use a few more years of production.
You didn't actually answer my questions.
What is your source that the demo was scripted? How have you concluded those particular animations were unfinished and scripted, even though they appear in the final game exactly the same? And why are you using other devs faking on stage demo's as evidence or proof that ND did the same?
Did you even read the article I posted? You know, the one where Starley discusses the dread of having Nate stand around doing nothing for 30 seconds on stage at their E3 conference, whilst they were trying to sort out his controller?
And I didn't accuse you of not owning the platform, I simply asked if you did or didn't, because your ignorance on many of the contextual mechanics in these games over the years gives the impression you haven't played them. Usually the people debating with you about these things are people who respond letting you know certain animations are in the game, and conveniently they're generally animations you yourself haven't seen or don't know about, even when GIF examples are presented to you.
Anyway, moving on...
Pretty much. I think some people are expecting too much from a streamlined vertical slice demo. For me it's all about the implications. The holomap alone implicates more explorable spaces, or why else would it exist? The combination of grappling, wallrunning and climbing suggests that traversal sections could get pretty intricate. The posture meter on the protagonist and certain enemies suggests that melee combat against them could play out as an intense bout of tug of war (at least on higher difficulties). That they showcased hostile wildlife instead of just imperial goons hints at the enemy variety being pretty wide, as well.
Game looks pretty decent to me overall. My mind wasn't really blown or anything, but at absolute worst I'm expecting this to be a good, if not great classic style 3D action adventure game with fun combat and variety in its pacing between combat, traversal and puzzle solving. It harkens back to the classic God of Wars and Jedi Outcast type games that we don't really see too much of anymore.
So, you want more style over substance. Ok. Can't please everyone.
original premise had me more hyped, but this still looks pretty good barring a surprise prince of persia reveal from ubisoft might be the better parkour fight stuff game this season.
How in the hell did you reach this conclusion. But if we're gonna take it there, if the "substance" is shit a bunch of other games have already done before, then no keep it. Even reading the game informer notes, it sounds like it's structured extremely similar to God of War or the last two Tomb Raider games. Nothing about what they've shown or are saying about the game sounds remotely unique or interesting.
Sure maybe they should have shown off more but maybe they are saving that but people also shouldn't be so quick to judge it either, especially when we see this all the time and should know one early trailer doesn't always represent the full finished game.
I thought the demo looked good, not the best thing ever but still good and I know it's only a small part of the game and they will have more exciting things to show later on. The GI article certainly suggests there's a lot more to it.
Sekiro is hardly an example of responsive combat lol. Looooong startup animations, attack queuing that ignores panic inputs so you can't dodge or block anything at the last moment, heavy hit stun and block stun...
Sekiro is fast but very sluggish at the same time, since you can cancel barely any of your own animations. It's a bizarre feeling that I would never wish to have in a game with lightsaber combat.
The deflection system, sure. The controls and lack of cancels? Hell no.
How else is someone suppose to read this?
Wait what is that top game? That looks awesomeGoing from this
To this
HOOOOOOW
