GS Ryse review: 4.0 - KEEP ALL RYSE DISCUSSION HERE

So what's next for Crytek?

Their games have been consistently spiraling down in terms of quality.

Should they possibly try and make Timesplitters 4? They have nothing to lose at this point, but I don't really want my favourite series to be tarnished by the Crytek curse.

You are comparing a racer to a FREE Indie arcade shooter. You cant necessarily that one is better than the other when they are different genres and are/should be graded as such. Same thing with KI Vs. KZSF Vs. DR3. All different genres! The bottom line is as a whole, both consoles launches are extremely mediocre.

Ryse cutscenes pre-rendered, framerate goes down to 16fps.

Its performance is pitifull running under 30fps for the majority at 24-28 fps

LOL

How I felt with my morning coffee when I saw the review?

:P

Looks like you too Heil68. Go Heil68 Go!!! LOL!!

@clyde46: LMFAO you win Clyde! hahahaha

You people are fools debating which console to buy based on launch games.

This is about which console is the better buy for the remaining life time and which console has better hardware and price to performance ratio.

If you want to drop $500 on a console to play Halo and Forza for the next ten years you be my guest.

And let's not forget that it is far weaker than ps4 and runs hotter and uses more power. Ohh yeah, let's not forget that it takes a minute and half to boot and with a browser so slow that cell phones beat it by miles.

@timbers_WSU:

so that means TLOU is 95% then? :D

I have maintained throughout that GS scores are what matters. I'd still play this game, not buy it, but I'd play it. I'm going to play Knack this weekend too.

We haven't heard from @shawn30 yet. I'm concerned.

For the moron talking about pre-rendered cutscenes and ryse dipping too 16......

Knack drops to 14, KZ drops to 18, DR3 drops to 12 (although there is a patch now). COD on PS4 drops to 48 ect.

MOST All games have pre-rendered cutscenes.

So it's definitely less fun than dialling numbers?

hearing the campaign is only around 6 hours also

@blackace:

:P

Hey keep this game so I have someone to coop with when I play it.

So Ryse is the new Lair of this new gen?

cut scene framerate wars? I didn't know that the performance of a cut scene framerate mattered. I know, I know my damage control is off the charts.

Along with Knack, yes. lol!!

Once again XBox launches with a AAAE and PS does not. Let's hope it doesn't take another 18 months like it did with the PS3. I want a AAAE to play on my PS4.

facts ^^^^^

Gamesradar said it was the best looking next generation game. Great to hear.

lol...

Gonna have to post proof otherwise its fud. Also,all the PS4 games are1080p and run OVER 30fps, whereas every xbone game is subFullHD at 30fps and lower.

HAHAHAHA WHAT A MASSIVE FLOP LMAO

The cows made about a thousand topics on it, lems had to damage control a bit, but the truth it we had to deal with it, it wasn't something anyone liked but had to do. But cows never let up. And it was never about one aspect of online, like we enjoyed paying for it, it was topics like 'half your games are held for ransom' and others. It was never ending.

After a gen of bull shit, it's to hard to let go.

@Eddie-Vedder: 61 on Metacritic, average user on here predicted around a 7. So, no. Killzone on the other hand...

Forza 5 runs at 1080P and 60fps dude.

I think lair scored worse than ryse on MC and there was more hype for that game.

@SinjinSmythe:

So you and Foxbat still getting this game? :D

I wont feel too bad playing Knack this weekend

Knack=Ryse

I can live with that.

Lair was actually legit hyped... *shivers*

That game also resulted in the death of a company. I had a funny feeling ryse was going ot get a 4 or 5 on GS.I'm not 100% sure if lair was actually hyped.

That's gameplay framerates. LOL

Cutscenes being pre-rendered is just extra lolz because thats all you lems would post.

Reality is, a basic Killzone soldier looks better than ryse main character and does it at a higher resolution and framerate.

Damn shame, maybe even more than Forza I wanted this game to be good. Just because of its promise and what it could have been.

___

And on another point its kind of odd/interesting that both consoles have had, more or less, identical software line ups as far as GameSpot reviews go.

So im only 1 point off.. been saying the game is worth 3/10 since August, the moment i played it i knew its garbage and LOL at being happy that a car game got a good score.. a car game lmfao

PS4 all the way this generation

Forza, Killer Instinct, Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break and D4. I'll get a PS4 in 2015 when it's worth buying. I buy consoles to play games and the PS4 is not worth buying until 2015

@Stevo_the_gamer: yep. I do remember that day. Lair was hyped way high and boy did cows get a tongue lashing from every other faction. This time around both systems have had their good games, mediocre games, and bad games.

The fact that you call it "a car game" is so ridiculously lulzy, that I cannot contain myself.

That's probably true for casuals and poor people who can only afford one system. Launch games decide which system to buy first. True gamers get all systems. Stay casual, dude.

Me and the Fox are locked. Going out shopping soon and getting supplies and diapers for a marathon session tonight.

@SinjinSmythe:

I gamed for 13 hours straight last Friday and had cereal for supper, felt like I was in college again..lol

Have a great time tonight.

I mean, if you are not into car culture, there isn't much there for you. I have no interest in Gran Turismo or Forza. When my friend got Forza 2, I couldn't stop laughing at how lame the gameplay looked. I thought it was a joke bargain bin game, only to be surprised that it is a critically acclaimed series. I couldn't believe how unenjoyable it seemed, only to learn that thats how racing sims all play.

I'll take my kart racers and Burnout games. Racing sims just aren't for me, as well as many others out there.

Yeah, I'm still excited to play Ryse. Ive watched a couple of 20 minute or more demos so I know what I'm getting into. Im such a huge Spartacus fan and a fan of that era. So I'm all in despite the GS review. But that review is what it is and the game flopped, lol. Still gonna have fun playing it though :)

Tha's kinda the same with any genre. He called it a "car game." T'was lulzy.

I always said it was going to be the Genji of XBones launch lineup.

You have to admit it hurts a little inside knowing Knack=Ryse? :D

we should argue metacritic score on these two games for like a day or so....

Shouldn't 4.0 be reserved for broken games? Reading serveral reviews everything seems top notch with the exception of the perceived tedium of the game. I think it deserves a better score. Just like Knack.

Can't say that I'm genuinely surprised.

No preview I saw of the game gave me the impression that the reviewers were really enjoying themselves. More of them just mentioning the shock value of all the severed limbs, gratuitous executions and stunning visuals. I guess it serves its purpose though as the graphical showstopper for the console launch. Too bad the gameplay doesn't match.

Yes, my friend. Yes it does :)

You gotta take the bitter with the sweet here on SW. Some days you ride high, some days you're stuck in the shit. But its all fun either way. Ryse flopped. Lol, what more can be said. :)

The Lair of this generation... NOT it's actually worse lol.

I will just drop this master piece here:

You accepted the flop and moved on so the healing can begin, great! Dont trade in or sell this game and maybe we can co-op it when I get an X1.

I don't really care for MetaCritic. Lair was supposed to be the Rogue Squadron with Dragons, but flopped hard and ended Factor 5.
