GS Ryse review: 4.0 - KEEP ALL RYSE DISCUSSION HERE

No, it's the xbones Lair.

This is 2006 reversed.

Yuck. Dead Rising 3 looks infinitely better in every way outside of cutscene graphics. I always thought people should have been more excited for it than Ryse. But you know, jiggly man boobs are hard to dismiss.

Very interesting. When I played Ryse at an Expo in September I thought it was really good. It looked good, and once I got to grips with the gameplay it was fun. However, I only got about 20mins with the game.

Reading this gamespot review it seems there are legitimate shortfalls in the games design. One weapon? Limited enemy types and movesets? Hmm, they should have taken a page out of Dark Souls' design manual IMO. Obviously in a 20min session - I had no idea the rest of the game would be so lacking in depth.

But it is what it is, I'd still be interested in playing Ryse but a score like this doesn't help the Xbox One's marketability, and Ryse was probably intended to be a key ingredient of XB1's marketability.

Conclusion: Ryse was a failure.

Ugh. That's rough. Was hoping it might be decent at least.

Nah, Lair was hyped to be a great game and it turned out to be absolutely shit. Ryse has looked dubious from day one. The minute it was first unveiled at E3 it was getting negative previews.

Lair is probably the worst game of all time for over-hype and under-delivery. Maybe tied with Too Human.

How disappointing for both launch lineups. To be expected though.

there was quite some hype for Ryse too!

Meh, I'm not going to argue but yeah Too Human was another contender.

What a flop

With all the liberties they take with the time frame in the story, I don't see why they had to just stick with a sword. You already get a ridiculous mythical power that stops enemies in their tracks, why not throw a few different types of weapons with upgrades in throughout the story, much like GOW.

I was actually hoping for a roman GOW, I think that would have been pretty rad although not at all unique. Instead it's a less fluid batman arkham game with QTE executions that rear their ugly head all too frequently. Really a shame.

Some, sure, but I think it was more on an individual level with a few people. In terms of collective expectations I dont think anyone expected much of Ryse, and even then it fell short of expectations.

HAHAHA LOVING THE DAMAGE CONTROL AND TEARS. This game was way more hyped then Lair last gen what a massive flop LOOOOOOOOOOOL

Yeah man, a terrible lack of foresight to have just one weapon.

Mmm, it's a shame because it's obvious they've put a lot of effort in, they just put it into the wrong areas.

Dam,I was hoping for at least a 7.

So it's as bad as knack? Wow. The game always did looks shallow so I'm not surprised by the low score.

It definitely looks like the Xbox's Knack.

Besides extrem hardcore MS fanboys: Did anyone expect it to be any good?

I like BIG FLOPS and I can not lie, you other brothers can't deny! :D

Called it, yo.

As expected.

Crytek deserves this.

Yes they do. Sell outs.

I can only hope they go under, any PC centic company that chooses to pander to the console market deserves to fail.

Looks like Forza and DR3 are the two games i will be getting tonight with my Xbox One.

OMG, I'm overjoyed right now. Thank you, GameSpot.

The award for flop of the year goes to Ryse: Son of Lemming

This.

I guess it KNACKED. Ah well no surprise it wasn't good.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA you need to use metacritic at GAMESPOT!

lmao watching the Game Informer X1 live stream and Dan Ryckert was playing Ryse with one hand.

So question - was there seriously anyone other than fakeboys who actually thought this would be any good?

So far...

PS4 AAAE Games = 0

X1 AAAE Games = 1

Ryse and Knack score uber low and a patridge in a pear tree.

Quite low as I expected and quite a disappointment.

lol Sony fanboys are so desperate for damage control they are trying to act like Ryse had AAA hype. I guess being the only system not to have a AAAE game has put them in severe damage control.

@CanYouDiglt: awwww booohoo ryse was claimed as king of graphics by you fanboys but turned into king of flop instead. Go play your racing game to save your face. Ryse flopping has to be the best week ever. I can see those lemmings face right now. Laughed so hard that stomache exploded like a pinata.

Still Graphics King!

TCHBO!

I think Ryse is like GOW it has great graphics but boring QTE combat. This is the score that those games should have gotten too! Double standards I guess.

@xhawk27: says the blind lemmings. The score hurt so bad that lemmings lost focus and control in forza 5 that they drove off the cliff . Typical lemming.

I'm pretty sure only trolls were hyping this

Not good even with the "Xbox tax" taken into consideration.

If only they put those tax dollars back into your local school system.

Yeah the PS4 is great with the ftp PC ports, indies, and the PS3 remakes. Hahahahahahaa. PS4 has no AAAE games on Gamespot! Hahahahhaha

TCHBO!

BUT BUT TEH RYSE!!!!!

lmaoooo xD

Not even close.

More hyped than Lair? Am I remembering things from some other, alternate dimension where Lair wasn't a huge upset that had people in major damage control?

Yeah... Lair was hyped to be huge, and flopped hard. Ryse had some minor hype, but most knew it would be average to poop.

Pretty close. It has been hyped as graphics king for a while now.

By some, and the graphics are actually really damn good. Lair was hyped on every level.

Just watched the Quick Look. It looks decent. Bargain bin material.

Very, very pretty.

M$ should have called this game:

FALL: Son of XBone

:-P

Actually every lemming on here was hyping Ryse
