What does stupid have to do with it?
I didn't hate the game. I am just sorry I paid for it when the demo had the best parts for free.
There was a lot of boring repetition. Irritating cut scenes (though not as bad as NOLF's). And slash, hack, chop your enemies (typical of the genre). Not much gameplay innovation. The bosses were pretty easy.
On the other hand, the graphics were amazing (but so what - there is more to a game than eyecandy) and (to be fair) the storyline wasn't half bad.
