Poll Ryse vs God of War; which is overall the better hack & slash game? (96 votes)

Ryse is way better a hack & slash experience! 30%
God of War is the better hack & slash game! 70%

Ryse and GoW are startlingly similar.

They're both very typical hack & slash games. They have very similar gameplay and level design (with obvious differences!). And they both are regarded as the highest quality hack & slash games on their own platforms.

So, its only fair we compared them. As hack & slash games.

So, which do you think is the better at hack & slash? Which has the more satisfying combat? Which is more entertaining. And so on.

Note: I raised this topic on another discussion site, but got trashed by Sony fanboys who seemed to think it blasphemy to compare anything with GoW. i do hope people here are bit more intelligent and refrain from fanboy nonsense when answering this serious question. Thank you.

I'm far from being a Sony fanboy and I agree... This is blasphemy!

Ryse has some qualities, graphics and art direction are good and the narrative is well constructed and delivered. But gameplay is just mediocre, unlike GoW. And regardless of how Sony is guilty of making "movie games" Ryse is infinitely more of a "movie game" than any of Sony's games outside David Cage games.

Plus don't know if any of the two can be called a h&s game.

Ryse is actually a really fun, but very shallow experience

God of War is a series bestowed upon us by the Gods.

Well we can use this information. No one in their right mind would choose Ryse over GOW. 30% of the poll is for Ryse so that means 30% of posters here are lemmings and their alts. We can now safely substract that percentage from the rest of the polls that favor the Xbox to get more accurate results.

I came into this thread expecting pics comparison but Henry forgot to include evidence it seems. I'm not gonna vote, but I'll say Ryse because it's on PC and trust me, it looks fucking amazing on the PC version. As far as anyone's concern, Ryse is no longer Xbox One exclusive because it's on Steam.

Not even a Lem could pick Ryse, but was highly mistaken, that's some pathetic brand loyalty right there. Just because its on PS4, seriously shit fanbase.

GOW kept me happy for a play through, though it's overated. It's still a way better game than Ryse though. Both look stunning, but Ryse became repetitive pretty quickly....

Best graphics you say? Where's Digital Foundry when you need them?

If Ryse wasn't like the first game to come out on the new xbox and they took a bit more time, it might have been a great game.

but it's certainly not a bad game.

I meant that I dont understand why people on SW still bother with polls, as if the votes of some random people whose views are more often then not bias make the "wins" official or somethin...

SW polls are pointless

SW in itself is pointless, we are debating over pieces of plastic. But it's all for fun and killing time I guess.

94 metacritic vs. 60 metacritic

Game length: 35 hours vs. 6 hours

Guess which one is which?

@mrbojangles25: The game was supposed to be a Kinect game, its foundation was broken from the start. They managed to make it OK but to make it good they would probably take way too much time, and money.

I like Ryse for what it was but GoW is hands down much better.

MS should invest in a Ryse 2. Just because the first try was bad doesn't mean the 2nd will be. Look at knack 2.

God of War hands down. You can't even really compare them because God of War is a whole series with a great track record. Even Chains of Olympus & Ghosts of Sparta, which were PSP games, were really good. Nice try but epic thread fail lol

Never have tried God of War,so I won't judge the game. I did download Ryse,but never had the chance to give it a try yet,so can't judge that one neither. Going by the poll,God of War is more popular so far.

Trolls voting for Ryse. Ryse was a 6 or so hour game that played itself. Don't you all remember seeing QTE's give the player points for combos even though they were standing still missing every prompt? That's somehow comparable to God of War? Come on now...

Fighting the Valkyries alone is probably more enjoyable than all of Ryse.

Better comparison would've been God of War vs Dante's Inferno. That game gave God of War a run for it's money imo

@jeezers: Haven't played GoW 4 yet so I can't really comment much on it but Dante's Inferno was one of my favorite games last gen so much so that I had to go out and read the book lol
