I highly disagree with pretty much everything you said. Plus, you're clearly basing your opinion on the FOV, over-the-shoulder, etc issues on tutorial sections and narrative sections. It looks fine, even great, in real combat.
The last thing I would want (yet again) is God of War: Dynasty Warriors 5 - thank god they moved on, from what I've seen!
Also, Tomb Raider pretty much sucked, even for it's time on PS1, until they change it to be like the last couple releases. Those were great. TR1 on PS1 and the others in that era were neat to look at and terrible to play. I remember myself, and everyone I knew, were really impressed until they played it, and not one of us actually slogged through the BS and actually finished it. It was a poorly designed game in many ways, and just had the neat appeal of Lara Croft and the freshness of a 3D console game with guns... unlike Mario 64, which was great, but more focused on the younger market.
And you can't judge the story yet at all, you have no idea how good or bad it'll be... except for companion hate in the tutorial, I guess? Clearly the son will either die or whatever and he won't be with you for most of the game. Or he'll grow up and you'll play as him, passing the torch from Kratos to a new character for a new series in the GoW "universe".
