IGN Video - What's wrong with Ryse

[QUOTE="Chutebox"][QUOTE="blackace"] I don't think the game is even done yet. KZ:SF and Drive Club were criticized as well by journalist and those games aren't done either. blackace

Lag and the issues because of it are one thing. It's a complete other thing for Ryse. The issues are with the way the game is "played."  It's hardly even a game at this point. theyd need to completely redo the gameplay to fix the issues, and it's probably too far into development to do that.

Ryse is proof lems will hype anything. The game (if you can call it that) looks like complete garbage.

Their "eh" reaction is similar to what I and alot of people had to what has been shown from it so far.  The only people hyping this game are fanbots who desperately want it to be good so they have something shove in other fanbots face due to their inane obsession with "exclusives".  Really it looks like a strictly mediocre action game and every time I see a thread on here trying to hype it I cringe.  IGN is not atypical on this. 

[QUOTE="blackace"][QUOTE="Chutebox"] Were either criticized for gameplay though?turtlethetaffer

[QUOTE="blackace"] Yes, because both games lagged and caused issues while playing the game. Of course all of this can be fixed and hopefully Ryse will get fixed as well. None of these games are 100% complete. blackace

Meanwhile, the action is more compelling than you might expect. It's not a game of frantic hack-and-slash action, but of watching your foes, timing your blocks and maintaining control of the crowd. It's bloodthirsty stuff but grimly satisfying,

Why are these guys so hung up on optional QTEs? AAllxxjjnn

Because nobody like them but they keep bloody putting them in games.

Good point. I'm only going by what I read in an article. 

But yeah. Not looking good. Too Human had the same problem. Went through a bajillion revisions and finally landed on the Xbox 360 flopping critically and commercially.

Maybe this game should have stayed as a Kinect title...

Interesting read, thanks !

There are games that still turn out great after a lot of revisions, but it's a minority. Of course every game changes a lot from its concept stage to the final product but when a game changes a lot when it's already in a playable state that is usually not a good sign.

Perhaps you are right. I think as a Kinect title people wouldn't have minded QTEs as much and there wouldn't be such a huge fuzz about it on SW as nobody hypes Kinect titles. :P

Anyway, I can't wait for the original title that Crytek USA will bring us.

I don't think the qt event is that bad, if they made the prompts more subtle/optional and made it not force the camera change it wouldn't be that bad. I absolutely hate when games take over the perspective and force the camera places you don't want, if it didn't do that the qte's would seem way more cool and less vomit inducing.

Wow. It's very rare that you see websites criticizing games before they're released. This game must be terrible.

The setting, the story, the characters, production values, graphics, sound, non-game content all looks phenomenal but the focus on gameplay being driven by something that is not entirely gameplay could very well hurt this game. And that could be very unfortunate.

Yeah, that's the sad thing about this game really. If only the gameplay were as good as all the other things about the game, than this could easily be a 9 or 9.5 title.

It's disheartening that this is the best M$ can do.ShadowofSonic

[QUOTE="darkangel115"][QUOTE="robokill"] definitely didn't look like it, and it's kind of been verified by you know, gaming journalists. The QTE in Ryse make me not want it, it has nothing at all to do with accessrobokill

For score prediction I could see this game being anywhere between 6.0 and 9.5. This game is just difficult to put your finger on, we should see more new stuff at Gamescom though.R3FURBISHED

What I saw at E3 didn't really please the press, nor gamers. People got sucked in by the pretty graphics though.

Hopefully they will have listened to the negative feedback and show a better build at Gamescom. Is this supposed to be a launch title for Xbone ?

The only thing wrong about RYSE is that it was specifically made to boost self-confidence in "special" people. That's why the game plays by itself so it makes dumb xbugs with down syndrome think that they finally mastered basic hand-eye coordination.battlefieldfan6

Have you ever had a single good thing to say about an XBox exclusive? Ever???

Well, you can kiss my big fat butt. I am looking forward to Ryse. It looks to me like a video game version of the Starz show Spartacus.

Since you are not getting an XB1, and will never play it, why don't you keep your mouth shut about it?

IGN has the worst media player, how does a site that big not invest in something more responsive

[QUOTE="battlefieldfan6"][QUOTE="darkangel115"] Lol and you know this form playing it? or form watching a demo where it is in god mode. Nobody wants to demo a game they die every 2 seconds and start over. they wanted people to progress regardless of skill. I'm not 100% sold on ryse until i see more. but so far i'm impressed. right now i'd say the only 2 games i'm 100% getting are BF4 and titanfall. after that Ryse, quantum break, watch dogs are all high possibilities. and of course the free project spark looks funStormyJoe

[QUOTE="Krelian-co"]

[QUOTE="RR360DD"]And yet Beyond has been hyped a lot more than Ryse ever has. Don't try and deny it :cool:RR360DD

so you are saying a ps3 game is far more important than what xbone is bringing next gen, good to know.

Ryse is going to be the most hardcore and deep Hack & Slash game ever made

Ryse = Too Human.. but worse

Seriously, a former Kinect game patched up as an X1 game made by... Crytek.

Sounds like a complete disaster.

The game is a benchmark movie... with lots of QTE.

I've seen a new gameplay video for Ryse and the combat has change a lot from the E3 demo, the E3 demo was just to show how badass the game could be. but really the combat is more like Dark Souls 

I don't think i'll be able to contain the laughter if Ryse outscores any of the PS4 exclusives :cool:RR360DD
