Ryse would be praised if it was by Quantic Dream.

Beyond is an amazing game, most gamers agree. And you cant. ealy compare a game that was developed for the story first and foremost, use high caliber actors for mocap and tells a realy deep and involved story with Ryzes superficial story.

Ryze is beautfull but that was not what made Heavy Rain and Beyond great games, its because they cna actualy tell the story right.

Errr...the story of Beyond was pretty darn terrible. It was all over the place, horribly paced, inconsistent and often badly written. The non-linear approach was done just about as badly as I have ever seen and only served to destroy any sense of tension or mystery throughout the story. The story was so bad that someone went through the entire game talking about what was wrong with every single scene (http://daemonpro.tumblr.com/post/72185078716/what-if-beyond-two-souls-was-good-part-1)...The "high caliber actors for mocap" were the only thing good about the game, however even good actors can't make a terrible story good.

And I bet you played the whole game to make your conclusion, didn't just looked for bad reviews  To inform yourself of what to complain, right?

Dont bother with him DonFerrari, complex storys get labeled as bad by lots of ppl in a hearthbeat cause theyre not easy to grasp and most gamers/movie are just too lazy to put some effort into understanding the story. And watching a playtrough of someone bashing the story as your first exposure to said story realy helps you buil;ding your own opinion right ? I imagine how it wouldve turn out if you had watched a video of someone praising the story non stop instead.

Well I was disagreing with him because I think he was bashing the game mainly because it isn't possible on ninty platform. I found the history simple and engaging enough to follow and not generic. And I agree simpler histories and telling/writting methods get more love nowadays. Lot easier to find a Harry Potter or Crepuscule fan than a Ulysses one. And I hope no one try to arguee which is the best book/history (maybe using the technique x creativity argument... Like is harder to make a cell shaded animation than recriate venice, because one you have to imagine and the other you just need to copy. Then I bet is harder to write a picture book where you need to draw the fantastic characters than writting an aerodynamics book in which you just copy theories and formulas, or writting LOTR that is just a narrated dictionary).
