OH MY GOD!! Didn't notice that, PLEASE CDPR DONT GO THAT WAY, PLEASE!! Combat must be a way of telling story, if combat is silly then the whole thing becomes one silly mess, imo the gore has to be a bit more elegant and less "FUCK YEAH" !! This is absolutely preposterous, I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I did not unlock this ability in TW2 because it's absolutely ridiculous, what the hell?? We're playing Witcher 3: Return of the Jedi now??

You're right with your worries. All in all it felt a bit rushed imo too. Just like it was mentioned a couple of times now.
That definitely was easy mode on the combat. It didn't take much to kill any of the enemies including the Griffin. He was able to take the Griffin down to 25% health (or less) in no time. I assume the actual game is going to be much harder.
I'd still like to see more of the combat especially on harder/the hardest difficulty.

This was present in The Witcher 2 (and maybe TW1?). It was one of the basic witcher skills. Level 1 to block arrows and level 2 to have them reflect back to the enemy. Sure it's over the top. The lore I believe says that a witcher can parry an arrow in flight, not sure it says anything about directing it back at them. However, this already has precedence in the 2nd game, so it shouldn't come as surprise that it's there.
To go further I wonder if the fly away is a scripted event. So it would be of course much more useful to use the crossbow if you know it will fly away.
Or if you can just fight it right away. If I could choose I would fight it right away.

Finally high quality video. Some nice little details that you may have missed in the previous streams barf vision.
Geralt uses the flame thrower briefly against the Griffin, but misses.
Signs now rapidly regenerate for quicker usage.
Free running mechanic looks great.
Geralt can now kick, and break guards with out the use of Ard(thank god for that one)

Geralt could reflect arrows in TW2, don't see what's the big deal here.
As for the gore, it's quite easy for him to cut through unarmored foes, besides, I love the gore, looked awesome.
I suppose that there is some truth to that, after all the trailers and such it is easy to imagine something that is just not possible because of the hype.
