Why all the Ryse hate?

Apparently, its only 3 hours long, too.

For one combat looks clunky and slow like fx Dark Souls.

Difference is that I KNOW why Dark Souls looks like that; it has extremely methodical gameplay and a heavy emphasis on RPG mechanics. Ryse looks to have none of that and Crytek can't really be expected to deliver.

BULLSHAIT

Because system wars is full of fanboys.

Half the chapters in the game were beaten in an hour and a half.

Because it's not a game.

Just QTEs everywhere. You could buy a button-mashing robot and let it do the work.

Holy shit Ryse is 3 hours long? damn.

I am not the one who definitively declared an opinion of the combat mechanics.

Well, when it's described as about as fun as dialing phone numbers, what are we SUPPOSED to think about it?

I am. You disagreed, so tell me why?

I have read previews that have contradicted your assessment. Since neither one of us have "played" it, how can you make a declaration saying it "plays like shit"?

Because the gameplay looks shallow and repetitive as hell and Crytek is under the mistaken impression that they can tell a story.
