Horrible demo generally equates to a magical Quick Look.  I'm all for some of this.

The demo was probably the worst thing I've played this year. Maybe it was wrong to play it after checking out Vanquish, since my pants got wet after 15 minutes with that game...

No, probably not.

Hah, I did the same thing (minus the wet pants).  You aren't crazy - it really looks like ass.

That's pretty much what I got out of this QL. Looks like...a game, I guess?
 
Too many interesting games coming out to be paying attention to bland stuff like this.

The main buzz was when it was a PS3 exclusive answer to Gears.

Texture works make me think of Deus Ex for some reason.. like they made higher polygon character models but just stuffed old texture on them.

The QL made it look way better than playing the demo did. 
Still, I'm getting Vanquish instead. The demo for that game was boss!

This game isn't good, but it's not deserving of as much mockery as they sent its way.

I like how Alex has to play this game. I feel bad for him. This thing really looks like the direct rip-off of Gears of War, but very bad.

 Deep in the heart of Germany
Lucy clutched her breast in fear
She heard a beat of her lover's heart
For weeks she raved in dreams he appeared
From far off Transylvania

Only a woman can break his spell
Pure in heart who will offer herself
To Nosferatu!!!!!!!!!!

Saw this at London Expo at a demo station, didn't look interesting. Seeing this Quick Look, it still doesnt look interesting.

I thought they were fairly kind to this game, despite it taking a lot of the good parts about Gears of War and replacing them with bad parts of a Japanese action game.

'Fine' is not enough.  I might just be bored of shooters in general, but there needs to be world or interesting stuff going on around you with the plot or special gameplay of some kind for something to really grab you.  I don't think enough love and care have gone into this game, at least in terms of it's baseline concept.

This game looks so unexciting. Also, this makes Gears of War's story look much better.
