I loved the opening and the speech that was given by the captain, but then the gameplay came and I was ugh...
What a development hell ;\ So basically they've only worked on Ryse for more than a year and half.

If only Romans wore advanced combat suits. Then this game might have been interesting.

crytek needs to hire some fucking game designers.

They should have stayed with Codename:Kingdom.
But i would bet they would probably need to support that ip long time.
When we know they want to go free to play.
Hope to get some spartacus gladiator kind of action in multiplayer.

This. I don't understand what people expected. Crytek does pretty good tech demos, not games.

I didn't like it, I felt it empty, bland and uninspiring, besides, the character seemed very generic to me

Want an awesome action game with real depth? Play Bayonetta 2.

Ryse is obviously a Kinect game converted to a button game.
It's everything we hate about motion controled games just ported to buttons. Rewarding players for just doing exactly what the on screen prompts are telling you to do.

I'm so glad that people are drawing a line of tolerance at these kinds of games.

Hardly. Knack looks like a video game. Ryse looks like Roman Mime Simulator.

Seeing a lot of this in the thread... Ryse is Roman. God of War was a weird take on Greek gods.

I thought it looked fine graphically, but about 2-3 minutes in you started seeing repeated QTE fights and it already started feeling slightly repetitive. I was never hyped for the game, but I didn't think it was going to turn out the way it did.

Well it looked very much like "Saving Praetorian Ryan".
A beach landing under ranged attack, a shellshock bit, complete with the guy wandering around without an arm...
Other than that it looked great up till the moment you were bombarded with QTEs. What would have been wrong with simple 3rd person melee combat? Attack, block and dodge buttons, that's all that's needed.

Haha absolute gold. Perfect
I don't even think its that. It looks like a God Of War game made for Kinect

I don't hate QTE's (I even like them in some games), but Ryse it too much. Doesn't look fun at all.

That demo was pathetic. Looked to be on rails as well as having no gameplay to speak of outside of "Press X to win".
And the design of the level was pretty much 100% Saving Private Ryse.

This game looked terrible. Watching that gameplay was frustrating, can you even imagine actually playing it? I'm not adverse to having some button commands for a finishing move, but they shouldn't be so frequent and happening between every, single, bloody combination. It's pathetic. I want to see more of that Black Tusk IP because it looked like a modern stealth game.

Agreed; it was like everything wrong with modern FPSs applied to third person action adventures. More annoying to pedants was that their military actions didn't even appear vaguely accurate.

It looked like they just replaced a few Kinect-commands with button presses and called it a game.

It looked nice enough, I guess, but the gameplay didn't look interesting at all

It looked like a poor mans God of War except without the amazing set pieces and monsters. Too many QTE's too.
Don't know what it is about the perfect first post, but here it is again.
They forgot to hire people responsible for something else than graphics for their game development.

It looked fantastic but the gameplay was awful. If they said, "let's show you our animations and dynamic combat" in the context of a beta or tech demo, then that sort of QTE bullshit would have flown way easier. As it was, it almost was a parody of Crytek's latest offerings.

It was basically 'Set-pieces: The Game'
Probably a good way of showing off the Bone's graphical capabilities but not a great game.

It really did look like a kincect game converted to a controller game to give it more "core" appeal. The press impressions confirm it.
