sounds like a typical launch game. Limited in scope and has great graphics, all because of tight deadlines and volatile hardware.

Crytek really should bunker down and make Crysis 4, it should be a sequel to Crysis 1 and build on what made that game good. Open battle areas, neat mechanics that revolve around stealth and buffing yourself, enemy AI that reacts subtlety, more weapon variety, more vehicle variety, more human enemy types.
Alien enemies should be sparse and more akin to "Predator" instead of being erratic squidies. Crysis 4 should be a open world outright, being built around traversal and combat in vast open areas. Whenever Crysis starts to get linear is when problems and boredom kick in.

The intricacies of your .gif respoonse are lost on me. In which point do I miss the mark?

That's hardly accurate: there were plenty here who didn't expect it to get average reviews, or at least were hoping it would get great reviews and they've certainly pushed back on many of the arguments made from people who felt it would be average at best. Don't try to revise the disputes over this over the last few months and make it seem like everyone was on the same side all along.

they should be able to do this comfortably on the new consoles, so there's that at least. again, Crysis 3 fan here.

In order for a launch game to sell "extremely well" it has to have a long tail and sell units over several months to a year. And there is no way that is going to happen with a game getting negative reactions like this one is.
The Xbox One is a gigantic quest on making money. Sure, all videogame corporations run this way, but the Kinect having to be included at launch, making the price jump up to $500, along with the classic Microsoft XBL Gold paywall being implemented, paints a picture of dollar signs.
The sad thing about this is Microsoft could make just as much money by being a bit more modest. They're taking a risk and hoping it pays off.

Crysis didn't need a two grand machine at launch, although it would certainly help if you wanted to play it with great visuals while you did. Still looked solid on medium, I'll have you know. And it was still playable at 15-20fps, as I know from first hand experience
Praising C1 and Warhead as the peak of the series is not a nostalgia fueled trend. It's still extremely good from a gameplay perspective and looks fairly good, to boot. People praise the single player campaign, up until the aliens show up (when we all admit it gets a bit shitty). Up to that point though, it's one of the best shooter campaigns ever made, and nothing coming out is really topping it. C2 and C3 are simply very different games when compared to C1 and Warhead, even if you think C2 and C3 are better you should still be able to appreciate that.
The aliens pop up somewhere after the 2nd half of the game. So really, Crysis is a tech show with a mediocre campaign as well. I'll never understand the love for Crysis 1. It looked amazing and that's about it. Just my opinion of course.

exactly, I'm still gonna buy Ryse and give my impressions of it. One thing i will say is that i will not play the multiplayer, only buying this game for the story and graphics.
Personally would have liked to see Ryse use Souls combat mechanics with faster response, clean animations, a short main story line that focused entirely on melee combat, and then have an expansive online PvP and PvE Colosseum mode with the ability to use in-game currency won from matches to buy better gear. Then run weekly/monthly/yearly tourneys with exclusive gear for winners. Have ladders for 1v1, single fighter v. multiple animals (triple tigers shooting out of trap doors a la Gladiator), small team v. small team (4v4 or so) and then large team v large team (10v10). Every ladder has it's own rewards, and technique would depend heavily on the weapons you have (gladius, saber, battle axe, spear, trident and net, etc..)
Basically a 3rd person Chivalry with Souls mechanics.
The real kicker would be when instead of levels they could re-create the Colosseum re-creations of historic battles, including naval battles. Shit would have been epic.

The lowest scoring XBO exclusive with the highest production value.
Currently 61 on Metacritic. Ouch.

I expected the reviews, but the game really is pretty.
Crysis 1 was good, because of the open design. In a time where everything was getting more linear that freedom felt great.

MS had this and Killer Instinct demos set up at their Comic-Con booths back in July. Those of us that played Ryse came out very disappointed. If it was that boring after 15 minutes of gameplay, I can only imagine how boring it would be after a few hours. It looked great though.
KI, on the other hand, was fantastic.

Hell of a false equivolency you've built there. Knack is a shallow game with an "all ages" focus but is technically rock solid and has a lengthy single player experience. Ryse is a shallow game with a narrow target audience with sub 30 fps and janky animations.
I mean, Knack isn't the best game ever made but it accomplishes the stated goal of being a fun all ages distraction and does so without major game breaking flaws. Ryse isn't by most accounts actually all that fun either, is short, and has technical issues throughout. The fact that Ryse is tracking slightly ahead of Knack on Metacritic shows an inherent reviewer bias against youth oriented games and in favor of button mashy blood baths.

Same here. Knack was a good time. Hoping for the same here.
That or people are being incredibly brash when it comes to FPS games in general.

Please show me where people said that and it's funny how you call out bias when you obviously have bias of your own.

So...how about Ryse's story?
Uh...I don't think anybody ever said that. Got a quote/link?
Can't say I'm surprised about the Ryse scores. Literally every preview indication said as much. Pretty graphics, astoundingly monotonous and boring gameplay.
The fact that the reviews were embargoed until today alone should speak volumes.

Expected 70, got 61. And this game has a series and lots of promotion ouch.

Nah, Ryse looks better.
Killzone is clearly the better game though, it's not even a contest
The hell you talking about? Knack has been shit on constantly.
