The platforming was the worst part. And that's the draw of this game. Seriously, climbing on shit and jumping off sideways and backwards---that's the entire point of the game engine. The story has never really been that important. I have played and gotten 100% sync on Unity, and if you put a gun to my face I really couldn't tell you the entire storyline. The ledge mechanics are god awful in Unity.
The reason that the fighting seems goofy is that they've added some new shit in there like the staggering blow, that you really have to use in order to not desyncronize in a crowd. They've removed the ability to really choose a fighting style, and in a lot of ways it's a lot less of a button masher. You are forced to use stun bombs and smoke bombs, use the quick fire abilities and whatnot. They've kept the enemy archetypes as well, so you can't approach every enemy the same. I like this change.
But they fucked the platforming mechanics all the way to Chinatown.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
