Shitty game with good graphics?

Crytek gonna Crytek.

 

[Atlas157]

Another trash?

Well I haven't enjoyed a game from them since Crysis 1 so I kinda agree with him.

 

[soundscream]

Snip

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Kotaku - Yes

http://kotaku.com/ryse-son-of-rome-the-kotaku-review-1468780085

Xbox One: Not Yet

Ryse: Yes

Does not compute

 

[Final Boss]

Just wanted to see if polygon rated it higher then kill zone


Didn't leave surprised

 

[Fergie]

That keeping the embargo before launch day to drive hype cause it's going to get 9/10 consensus.

 

[robertsan21]

I knew it would blow chunks as soon as I saw the first gameplay vids. it looks utterly boring.

oh well so much for the "great" launch titles for Xboned.

 

[T.O.P]

Expected, will buy when it will hits the bargain bin at 20$

 

[lighthouse777]

Is that a blog?

no it is xbox 360 achievement website
it is NOT a blog
I play game because they are fun
I ignore the score
I have hated some top rated games and really enjoy some that these so called reviewers hated
so I am still getting this

 

[Thorgal]

This is not going to be a bloodbath. it's a goddamn massacre!

 

[-MD-]

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

That's generous.

 

[boinx]

Perfect.

 

[MattPeters]

5 hours is pretty short, even for a launch title.

Game has been in development for years already.

[dejay]

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

Shame, this really could have been something.

Oh, it's something.

 

[QaaQer]

People shouldn't blame Crytek, btw. MS execs hired them to make a violent Roman Kinect game and then had them switch it to a controller game half way through development while still insisting on it being a launch game. Of course this was going to be terrible as far as gameplay goes.

 

[MormaPope]

Can't wait for Ryse II: Spartan Son, where it's 2 hours long and the story gets progressively worse.

It's Crytek. All they've ever done is make playable tech demos that you have to pay for.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

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

Some people on here have already prepped themselves to love the game even if they have to play the game with their feet while yelling out kinect commands

I think he had a death in the family, so lets be nice and not jump on him.

Seriously? Oh man I am sorry then Ill edit, can you edit your quote.

 

[Dark_castle]

This is what happens when you build your game around QTE and your game title is not Asura's Wrath.

 

[Data West]

Clearly, they were not entertained.

 

[Kysen]

Needs more crunch time, prepare the meals!!

 

[T.O.P]

oh well so much for the "great" launch titles for Xboned.

wat

 

[rdrr gnr]

Average of 5.29 from these so far

Probably higher given weight.

 

[xHunter]

Cant wait for misterxmedias article about this
"They dient geht the dgpu ultra gameplay Upgrades Version of Ryse. Only selected reviewers got them. "

 

[travisbickle]

It's actually doing better than I expected.

I'm sure the graphics and the mature theme are keeping its head above water.

 

[Nibel]

We always knew it

We should design games

 

[Impeccable]

I hope it's like Knack for Xbox One owners. Reviewed poorly but user impressions are much, much better.

 

[Papercuts]

This game is the perfect example of why I like gamefly.

 

[Final Boss]

OXM: 7/10
Eurogamer.de: 7/10
Videogamer: 7/10
EGM: 7.5/10

If OXM gives it a 7 you know it's terrible

 

[Ushojax]

5 hours is pretty short, even for a launch title.

Game has been in development for years already.

In development as a Kinect title, yes.

This was always going to be a turd.

 

[dragonelite]

Those launch games

Here i was at E3 thinking it might be different this time around never again.

 

[Bundy]

LOLtaku:
KILLZONE: Shadow Fall --> NO
Ryse --> YES

I'm laughing my ass off here.
Absolutely ridiculous!

 

[silver.tongue]

So it's gonna average between 6~7.
I think that's what most people expected after we saw the videos of gameplay for this.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

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



Lets hope so. They are truly clueless

Stop after chapter 4, it gets really bad.

everyeye.it 7,5

 

[NekoFever]

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

I think the reviews explain it perfectly.

 

[CloudWolf]

the Colosseum is a kind of clockwork Holodeck

The Colosseum shouldn't even exist in the time period the game is set in. I know Crytek was never going for historical accuracy, but this is still pissing me off more than it should.

 

[WinFonda]

So about that solid launch lineup...

If you stack the Xbox One's exclusive cases next to the PS4's exclusive cases, it's at least a couple inches taller. Winner: Xbone

 

[Liamario]

I think polygon should be banned at this point to be honest. I don't hear/read any defence for them from even the most hardened fanboy. They're like a referee at a Manchester United match.

 

[foxbeldin]

no it is xbox 360 achievement website

I ignore the score

I only asked one question

 

[Boogalogist]

Thread title is fitting. It's a fucking bloodbath.

 

[illmatic22]

So Xbox launch games aren't anything special either

 

[Volcane]

Oh dear! Seems like it is a bit pants. Honestly thought it was going to be a good game, with 8-9 review scores.

Seems that there isn't a killer app for either Xb1 and ps4 at launch.

 

[jet1911]

Ouch! Expected though.

So Xbox launch games aren't anything special either

Good thing we have third party to save the day. :/

 

[Simply Sami]

I'm surprised nobody has spoken about Microsoft cheap tactics. They most likely knew it would get bad reviews and put embargo up for Thursday. Too late to cancel now for me.

 

[ekim]

Average so far from all the reviews in the OP is 55 if I didn't calculate wrong.

 

[dragonelite]

LOLtaku:
KILLZONE: Shadow Fall --> NO
Ryse --> YES

I'm laughing my ass off here.
Absolutely ridiculous!

Ryse does has it setting going for it tbh only reason im getting it.
If it was Crysis 4 i wouldn't bother.

 

[kiyomi]

I actually thought this might do worse.

Seems like what most thought it would be; a tedious and monotonous slog that is visually very attractive but with a completely predictable 5-hour story. Seems totally average and nothing really to write home about. Like I say, I thought critics might actually be harsher on it.

 

[Storm360]

Was expecting this, was fun when I played it, but had the feeling it was the type of game that would get old very fast.
