The combat looks like pure shit and I doubt anybody can fix that. The rest of the game looks great though...

I like PoP combat style, it's far better then clicking the button in the right moment. It worked very well in Risen

I hope you realize you just described almost every video game ever, including what we saw on the gameplay.

Yet it describes witcher's combat better than any other game.

Watched videos and:
  • Battle animations look like shit - it's not combat, it's fucking breakdance FFS - it looks totally unnatural, check out the fistfight in video #3 - wtf was that?
  • Human models look worse than in TW1, body animations in dialogs are less stiff, but still much artificial than in Bloodlines (2004), faces are horrible though,
  • landscape graphics look great, both forrest and town look gorgeous,
  • way too much bloom - it's neverending sunset or sth?
The rest was good for what it was.

Yeah, the difference is that in other games you at least have choice when to click the mouse button

You always have choice.
You click at the wrong time in TW, you miss.
You click at the wrong time in a shooter, you miss.
You click at the wrong time in a platformer, you miss (jump, or whatever).
Sure is difference around here.

I'm guessing it's the New Shit™.

They said there will be different cameras, so not necessarily.

Some elements and too much bloom aside, looks pretty nice. Don't know what was meant by models being worse than in TW1, either, they look pretty good to me.

Now, the narrator guy that kept yapping, that was atrocious.

Your ignore list.
Gameplay looks like total borefest shit. The character models look like spawns from a cesspool from a negro county, combat animations made me puke. Bunch of x-treme teenager stuff in a high fantasy world with guys so badass they could make Commander Shepard piss his pants by just glaring at him.

Hang the creators of this game on each other's entrails, then set the remains on fire. Also, skin alive that fucking narrator that CAN'T SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET ME LISTEN TO THE GAME!

It was still present in the first leaked video.

Seems impossible to tell how combat actually works from that video. It could be a system fairly similar to the previous game where you click on an enemy for the witcher to start a string of attacks and whoever is playing through it in the video just keeps switching targets.
