Seems that camera and controls is still an issue in the release build

WHAT DOESN’T WORK SO FAR
Now, there are some things that don’t quite work for me just yet. Namely, the camera seems to swing too quickly. Maybe it’s not the case on the Xbox, but on the PC (with the mouse and with the controller) it just feels too loose, and I would give anything for a button like Zelda’s that allows me to snap the camera right behind my character. If you let it go, it seems fine, but I like to control the camera, and I shouldn’t feel the need to if it’s working at its peak.
 
What makes it generic? Are there many other open world RPGs with action based combat?

Everything is 'generic' until you get into it.

I think he means the lore. Its your standard high fantasy fare that isn't that different from the Tolkien, DND, WOW, Warhammer archetypes. Alot of its mechanics are borrowed from Fable even if they took the combat up to 11, the dialogue system is pretty much exactly Mass Effect's.
 
To everyone/anyone getting this game for Xbox.. Can u please play it for a while n then post what u think of it..? I don't trust those critics..:)
