Any chatter at this point probably comes from people who made up their mind that it would be shit right after it was announced last year.
Kind of hard to form an opinion either way when we've seen less than ten minutes of it over the course of a year. It's playable this week, though, so it'll be interesting to see what people say after they get their hands on the demo.
I did see a few interesting things earlier:
No PvP at launch (maybe never? couldn't get a read on that)
PvE endgame is a priority
You aren't locked to a single type of javelin (although you can't change mid mission)
There will be additional javelins after launch (meaning new roles, not just cosmetic)
I may be alone on this, but I like no PvP. Focus on PvE co-op and do it really well, and you also don't fall into the trap of trying to balance multiple, different game modes.
It won't be for everyone, though. I still think story is a hard sell to the wide gamer market.
