Ryse would be praised if it was by Quantic Dream.

But it was definitely better respected than Ryse by the critics (which made sense, given one was rushed for a console launch, while the other was prettied from the foundation of a previous critical/commercial success). I don't agree that Ryse would have been praised, per se, had it been a Quantic game, but I do believe it would have been respected a tad more, due to such.

All things considered, if nothing else, and despite a sub-70 Meta, a base has been made for Ryse 2. It's just the question of whether Crytek decide to stick to a similar formula, which can work, under the right recipe.

 

I think you get what I'm saying.

If Ryse was a Quantic Dream game, I'm certain they would have gotten praise for trying something different with sexy graphics. Sony would have also received a thumbs up for backing a unique project.

Ryse is more akin to PS3 QD games. But people on the web apparently had the expectation of a GoW killer! What if Crytek pushed this as a cinematic adventure like a QD game and not a hack n' slash game. That might have changed expectations.

Your reasoning is pretty terrible on this topic pugg. Yes changing the marketing would have changed the expectation, but that would have simply made things worse.

Imagine expecting a Heavy Rain type experience and getting Ryse?

Ryse being 90% hack and slash.
