I want to like it, it's the kind of game I should like, it's got all the hype in the world.... but the gameplay just looks a bit underwhelming to me, combat looks proper pony.

Arguable. Between me and my friends, we had an Amiga 600/1200, Atari ST and multiple PC's. Anything good on the Amiga was also available on PC.

Lucasarts games, elite..... In fact I can't remember any actual Amiga exclusives. But then again, I wasn't the Amiga owner....

Sensible Soccer on the Amiga was far better than it was on the PC - also there was Gods, Chaos Engine, Football Masters (which IIRC was an Amiga exclusive) and Frontier.

Its an RPG first and second, FPS third.

Looks absolutely superb to me. One of the reasons I am spending far too much money upgrading my computer (well, tbh, I would be upgrading anyway)

Meh. Agreed.

I’d only ever want to play this to drive about a future city type place and that’s not really the point. Not my game.

Me toof. Loved The Witcher. when I heard it was first person my hype dissipated and looking at it I'm not sure still. But a lot of games you kinda need to play to understand. Not sure though.
