Polygon's marathon Xbox One live stream

So apparently RYSE has boob physics, that are baffling...

...and not in an erotic way, but in a "you should see a doctor about that" way



Ok that was pretty funny
 
Seriously Crytek, make this kind of work when it comes to the engine for other companies. They will love you for it. I don't think they know how to make gameplay that doesn't involve a gun...
 
I like how they admire what the character is doing, like "whoa look how he uses his shield to kill him" rather than "watch me use the shield to kill this guy". There is a visible shock to what the character does like it simply picks from a random kill animation. I think animations also need to be unlocked whether by game progress or other means wasn't clear.
 
Man, just watching Ryse gets boring really quick. I can't imagine ever playing this game. Presentation seems really great though and those faces are just remarkably good looking. I'll check some more streams I guess.

And that setting is awesome.
 
A lot of EA games have booster packs in multiplayer. Not new unfortunately.

edit: beaten

the only EA game i bought in my recent memory was nhl 2013 and they did have the card packs; which i didn't like much either (i admit tho;spend some money on that :P). However that was EA and i knew what i was getting my self into when i bought the game.

What I am surprised at is that 'first party' games are doing this.
 
Ryse is painful to watch. Awesome setting which looks to be marred in a boring, janky game.

Who is getting super excited about these execution moves. And the spear, you can spear a guy and it sticks in him as you fight him! Who cares lol.

Good grief how long are they gonna spend chucking spears. Ryse a spear throwing simulator confirmed.

Looks like God of War to me, I love just mindless action games like these.Its great as a stress reliever lol
 
Have you played God of War?!

Played and beat all of them, game is just run around slash and QTEs. Its mindless fun. Ryse looks to be the same, Im not seeing the OMFG ITS SO BAD stuff you guys are seeing.

Maybe im just not super negative hate everything like a lot of GaF this last month or 2.

That's....if you want to compare Ryse's combat to any game, compare it to Assassin's Creed or Arkham Whatever.

And at this point, I would like to mention that those games also heavily feature other gameplay mechanics and an open world.

That's cool, I'd love to share your taste here. The game just looks gorgeous. But again, not my cup of tea, but I'll check some more streams. I want to see the other chapters. :)

Dynasty Warriors also has you running around and slashing enemies, but it is nothing like God of War either. Don't boil the game down to that simple of terms to try and make your comparison make any sense.

You seem to be glossing over the many, many ways God of War is different from Ryse. It makes me wonder why anyone would consider your opinion of either one if you can't see the differences.

There's definitely more than 3 buttons you need to press in GOW. Yes it is mindless, but it's a bit more complex than what Ryse looks like.

You could also describe Bayonetta as run around and slash with some QTEs but that, Ryse, and God of War play nothing alike.
 
I don't think the combat looks horrible but then again I would purposely start as many fights in Arkham and Assassin's Creed as I could because I enjoyed the combat.

I... don't think so. Not even in the same league.

Assassin's Creed (now) sure, but Arkham? I know know. Arkham's combat may be simple to grasp, but there is at least some depth.

And I would argue that Assassin's Creed prior to 3 was trying to have some depth going on, but they threw that all away after Rev, so eh.

Christ, yes, Assassin's Creed *exactly*.

It's like Assassin's Creed's combat system put into a linear hallway/arena fighting game. DMC level design, Assassin's Creed combat. Worst of both worlds. :-|
 
Hope this is better than the PS4 stream.

Portlandia made flesh
 
ryse i will enjoy i know. the gameplay looks like mindless hack and slash... not to mention, i will be able to play the game better than the person playing it.

so what if people on here dont like it. i will enjoy completing this on the hardest settings.

God of War can be played mindlessly, but if you want to you can get creative with it. Ryse appears to force mindlessness through its very limited systems.
 
Wait a minute. She said 'click on the next Uncharted' and it went to the Uncharted article. How is that possible? Did MS know about Uncharted before it was announced and thought it would be a great idea to enable Kinect to recognise that phrase, or is that BS?

I wasn't talking about the depth, I would agree with you on this. It's more the "hit enemy until the counter sign shows up then counter." type of combat that I meant. You can of course have different levels of depth here.
In exactly the same way, God Of War and Ninja Gaiden feature the same type of combat, though with vastly different depth.

That's all.
 
So tired of hearing people whine about how hard it is to browse their games, on either system. How many users, at this point in time, are going to have too many games to manage with a simple list?

Surely they'll add sorting options eventually. Until then just play the 3 decent games you have and shut up.

Man, I'm gettin' cranky.

god of war has more variety in settings, characters, puzzles, level design, combos/moves list, weapons....just about everything. The hell are you talking about?

theyve had voice commands down since windows 7 launch

We have to face the reality that some gamers enjoy games without paying even a little bit of attention to what they are actually like. Ryse has been built from the ground up for those gamers. Jump Ahead.

not sure if serious... the link on the page was "the next uncharted..." the xbox just translated her command to text and chose the matching link

fyi polygon, it's "Xbox switch" to return control to the game

repeating myself because they fucked this up again. she said you have to go to the home menu and then back to the game wtf

Well I am definitely looking forward to getting and playing Ryse this weekend. But it's pretty apparent from the get-go that God of War and Ryse are nothing alike. Ryse has it's own thing going.
