Really really poor is pretty much how I can describe it. "A" is used for parrying, "X" is used for attacking and "B" is for rolling. Once you realize this, it pretty much feels like a poor mans Assassin's Creed (not to mention AC's combat in general has grown to become stale over the several games the past years). It just felt completely boring. I played for a good ten minutes, then I passed it over... Nothing challenging or exciting about it.
Also, I passed it over to the guy in the booth, since nobody was actually waiting to play it there. It was the first day of the convention and nobody seemed to even give it a chance. Contrast that to Forza 5 and Killzone Shadow Fall which had insanely long wait times.
Fantastic. Sounds like God Of War 3. My fave PS3. Strong attack, Wek attack, Jump and block. Oh and Executions. ust what I was hoping for. Unfortunately you wont be able to tell me about Singleplayer due to old build multiplayer doing the rounds right now.
But its good to know its gameplay is like all other hack n slash games. Altough wee are promised far more executions than current hackers.
Clearly you've never played GoW3 or atleast played it poorly. Im happy you enjoy that kind of stimulation as I find it atrociously lackluster. I assume you play every GoW simply doing square+square+square. That's not the way I enjoy my GoW ;)
I saw no combos what so ever in Ryse therefore it is not even remotely close to "like GoW3".
But we already know its been confirmed that in Ryse like GOW its possible to play just bashing, or for the more accomplished player learn to string togeter combos etc. I have finished every GOW game up to and including 3.
