Whose idea was it to design a platformer where you have such little control over the player character?

Gameplay wise this kicks Red Dead's butt 6 ways from Sunday 5 whole years before it even came out, but man is it fucking racist. I really hoped there was gonna be some moment where they mentioned that killing all those Apaches was kinda fucked up, but they never did

Absolutely badass and the most fun you're ever gonna have in a fighter with free instakills and a dozen infinites.

It does not suck big dinosaur balls.

Open world game design done wrong. They managed to make the Souls formula aimless and boring and stuffed it with George RR Martin's hack worldbuilding on top of that.
