Amazing gesture by crytek Sorry about your family

 

[Infinite Xero]

So you have an Xbox One game but no console, correct?

 

[Metalmurphy]

Sorry for your loss and grats, hope they send you an X1 too.

 

[plagiarize]

That's a very classy way to treat one of their most vocal supporters. I'm glad to see that it has helped take at least some of the sting off of a very hard time for you.

 

[Dusky]

Sorry for your loss man. Great gesture from Crytek there, kudos!

 

[WordsintheWater]

Firstly sorry for you loss man, my condolences to you and your family, secondly that is amazing by them, much respect to the Ryse team.

 

[RoboPlato]

Best to you and your family. Nice move on Crytek's part.

 

[Four_Chamber]

Much respect to the Ryse team!

 

[GoxRx]

That's nice, Crytek.

Sorry for your loss. My best wishes to you and your family.

 

[TheBlueBomber]

They should have donated to hurricane relief instead of this obvious publicity stunt.

Wow, way to be a fucking prick, the dude lost someone close, god damn

 

[Riedinizzo]

Sorry for your loss...

How did Crytek know about your loss?

This.

 

[ChitoCrisis]

That's very awesome of them! And sorry for your loss.

How did they know about what happened?

 

[makatk]

imo the game doesn't look that hot, they need all the publicity they can get .

 

[Briarios]

They should have donated to hurricane relief instead of this obvious publicity stunt.

A publicity stunt is when, you know, they publicize it. They didn't. The receiver who was touched did.

I don't know what happened in your life to make you so bitter, but there are decent people out there, and when they take the time to impact someone's life, they don't need people like you to come along and rain on it. Learn to just be happy for people.

 

[Mondy]

Sorry for your loss OP, and props to Crytek for giving you something to smile about.

 

[Mask]

That's pretty awesome of them to do that! Sorry to hear about your loss, Senjutsu, stay safe.

 

[MThanded]

Nice gesture. Very sorry about your loss

How did crytek find out about this?

Did they ship this overnight. I know you said something about some issues in the thread yesterday. That was a really quick turnaround.

 

[brandonh83]

Really sorry for your loss but at least something really neat came out of it.

 

[Kandrick]

They should have donated to hurricane relief instead of this obvious publicity stunt.

Publicity stun ? I don't think people here will suddenly start to love Ryse because of this if they didn't like it before. It's a nice move, don't need to be a dick about it.

 

[Gumbie]

Sorry for your loss...

How did Crytek know about your loss?

He had posted something about it in the xbox one launch thread, I assume someone saw it there.

 

[Steverulez]

imo the game doesn't look that hot, they need all the publicity they can get .

Unbelievable.

 

[DirgeExtinction]

Sorry for your loss, man.

Good on Crytek for reaching out.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Thats awesome!
How did they know?

 

[a.wd]

Mate, I can only give my most sincere condolences, but this industry is genuinely amazing sometimes.

If anyone deserves some love from the community its you man, take care.

 

[chugen]

They should have donated to hurricane relief instead of this obvious publicity stunt.

why would you say that. that's ridiculous.

 

[MThanded]

He had posted something about it in the xbox one launch thread, I assume someone saw it there.

Crytek must have shipped it same day or something. As far as I recall that was yesterday. No?

That was crazy fast.

 

[RetroStu]

Amazing gesture and i'm very sorry form your loss but can i just ask how did Crytec know about your loss bud?

 

[cleveridea]

oh man I didnt read the OT and thought the sorry for your loss was a dig at ryse not being a good game.

thats nice of those guys, sucks to lose a family member so all the best dude.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Crytek must have shipped it same day or something. As far as I recall that was yesterday. No?

That was crazy fast.

Photo is from the producer, not the OP.

 

[highrider]

That's great man. I know from other threads what a fan you are and I'm sorry for your loss. Good on crytek.

 

[tengiants]

why would you say that. that's ridiculous.

Because we all lose people close to us. The OP doesn't seem to be truly grieving if they are worrying about videogames.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

I'm terribly sorry to hear about your loss ):

Bu that's really great of Crytek to do this out of pocket.

 

[RetroStu]

some more free marketing, always good for both he receivers and the companies

wow

 

[Skyzard]

Sorry to hear about your loss

Crytek must have shipped it same day or something. As far as I recall that was yesterday. No?

That was crazy fast.

It's on the way, should be arriving friday.

 

[Jinfash]

Sorry for your loss, SS.

They should have donated to hurricane relief instead of this obvious publicity stunt.

I don't think it's a publicity stunt, as fas as I can tell SenjutsuSage has been a great asset in raising awareness about Ryse and the XONE on GAF (and possibly elsewhere). Consoling him and rewarding him with this seem fitting, IMO.

 

[legacyzero]

That's awesome.

 

[a.wd]

They should have donated to hurricane relief instead of this obvious publicity stunt.

You my friend are a grade A bag of dicks

 

[Twin Tails]

That's pretty cool man, sorry for your loss.

 

[Yes Boss!]

Jaded mo-fos.

Sometimes folks do nice thing, you know?

The gift did not come with the stipulation that he had to post it on GAF.

 

[Azull]

Wanted to say I am sorry for your loss and hopefully the act of kindness from the Ryse team will help you out a little bit.

Also, you know even if we have have very different opinions on things we are still friends right ? Wish all the best for you buddy!

 

[Hypron]

Because we all lose people close to us. The OP doesn't seem to be truly grieving if they are worrying about videogames.

 

[Foffy]

They should have donated to hurricane relief instead of this obvious publicity stunt.

What the fuck is wrong with you? The dude lost a loved one, and it's a publicity stunt? Show some heart.

I am immensely sorry for your loss, Senjutsu. I hope you enjoy the gesture Crytek has given you with Ryse, but more importantly, remember your loved one for the time you had, and for being part of the cosmos and existing in a period where you could have been around him or her.

 

[Banjotanooki]

They should have donated to hurricane relief instead of this obvious publicity stunt.

The fuck is wrong with you? How in the world is his story a publicity stunt?!

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Sorry for your loss...

How did Crytek know about your loss?

I posted about it two or three times on here yesterday, so I assume they saw one or more of those posts on the matter.

 

[Empty]

microsoft pls send him a console

if anyone deserves to play ryse at launch it's the op

 

[Kandrick]

Because we all lose people close to us. The OP doesn't seem to be truly grieving if they are worrying about videogames.

Damn, keep digging that hole.

 

[RetroStu]

They should have donated to hurricane relief instead of this obvious publicity stunt.

Double wow.

 

[MThanded]

Sorry to hear about your loss



It's on the way, should be arriving friday.

[Slayer-33]
