Another launch game that failed to Ryse to the occasion.. : /

 

[rdrr gnr]

Especially in light that they gave Shadowfall a 5/10. :lol

That score is just about right for KZ:SF.

 

[Atlas157]

Perfect example of Gameplay > Graphics.

Just because a game looks pretty, it doesn't mean it's good.

 

[jey_16]

PS4 has Knack....Xbox has Ryse

All is equal

 

[derwalde]

But a no on Killzone? Holy fuck.

dont read too much into this, will ya?

Spoiler

/s

 

[Kajiba]

I think I'm still going to still get the game though. It looks so pretty lol

 

[Razgreez]

I'm inferring a definite floor here

 

[Radec]

Holy fuck.

Ryse is battling with Knack.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Still better than Killzone: Shadow Fall. Real talk!

I am up to chapter 3 in KZ and honestly I kind of believe Ryse might be better than this game so far.

Can Crytek stop making games now? Work on your awesome tech but just stay away from developing new software.

Lets hope so. They are truly clueless

 

[djplaeskool]

Most definitely not entertained then.
Woof. these scores man.

 

[artist]

5 hours? Is this a effing DLC?

 

[Chobel]

GameInformer - 6/10

At least it's funnier than dialing phone numbers

Spoiler

 

[Byronic Hero]

That's pretty consistent. Guess the game's not all that great.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Not surprising, called it.

Lalalalla labomba.

A bunch of folk seem to be enjoying Knack. I wonder if the same will come through for Ryse.

 

[DeadlyVirus]

X1's Knack, except everyone was expecting Ryse to be badly reviewed.

Ryse: Son of Rome Review
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/ryse/review/

Brilliant combat, a sumptuously produced story and some of the best visuals we’ve ever seen make up for the limitations of the gameplay. Ryse: Son of Rome is bloody good fun

gave it an 80

 

[Appollowexx]

Classic case of graphics over gameplay, saw this coming since E3.

Though what I saw of the game on Polygon's stream last night did look kind of fun.

 

[nampad]

I wonder whether it gets a higher metascore than Knack or not.

 

[SlasherJPC]

So is the game 5 hours or 10? I keep reading different things lol

[GameAddict411]

it's not shocking at all, it's crytek after all. they should really stop making games and focus on improving their graphics engine.

 

[Rey]

All that crunching for this?? Ouch

 

[Huggers]

I thought it might surprise a few people but no. It's shit as most thought

 

[Diprosalic]

We all knew it was thrash.

 

[keit4]

Knack levels of awesomeness.

 

[ILHASS]

another trash from Crytek...nothing special

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Those launch games

These are awful games. Thank goodness for Resogun and Forza.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

90% of GAF called it from day one.

 

[Martian]

This annoys the hell out of me. Not because I was expecting this game to be good, but because we need some Roman-themed games. I want a game like God of War set during Roman times and a game like Rome total war but on a different scale. Imagine playing like Caesar, commanding a single army through different scenarios. Making sure your men have enough food, sending out scouts, replenishing your men.

But when a game like this gets low scores, chances are that no other studios will try to make another Roman themed game.

 

[DrBo42]

Oh man. I do not envy the Ryse team right now. Brutal. Can't say this beatdown is undeserved based on the footage and reviews though. Better start working on the gameplay overhaul for the sequel.

I think having no idea how to make a fun and successful action game is the issue rather than the time period.

Some people in the SenjutsuSage Ryse thread expected this to be the Xbox Ones Uncharted. I am not making that up.

 

[phaze]

Luckily, however, you don't have to press X when enemies flash blue, or any button at all, as it's impossible to fail these moments. The execution goes off without a hitch whether you get it right or not, but pressing the correct button rewards you with more points toward your selected perk.

Scores are brutal.

Massacre! Reviews' titles alone worth to read.

My fav is IGN's "Press X to dismember".

 

[rain elbows]

Achieved with CryEngine.

 

[Insane Dead]

I think I will still get this game. Hopefully it could end up like Knack where a lot of people end up enjoying it despite the bad reviews. Pretty disappointing reviews though :/

 

[blankempathy]

That embargo holding back the flood of bad reviews.

 

[strata8]

another trash from Crytek...nothing special

Another trash?

 

[Duxxy3]

So about that solid launch lineup...

 

[Al13n]

Alright, cancelled my full setup from Amazon UK (console as well). Just in time, was preparing to be dispatched.

 

[Gbraga]

It's actually doing better than I expected.

 

[Huggers]

Now if someone could explain why the embargo was so late.........

 

[Hermii]

This makes me feel sorry for the Developers. All those crunch hours for nothing.

Damn - despite all the speculation, I still thought Crytek might pull it out of their hat.

Shame, this really could have been something.
