Ryse would be praised if it was by Quantic Dream.

Well it was actually well received by most critics and user scores are very generous.

Hence, that shows the validity to this thread.

no it doesn't, the reviews of beyond don't mean Ryse wasn't crappy or was somehow just mistunderstood. You're still certainly allowed to like the game, but don't pretend that the games reviews were bad for any other reason than issues with the game.

You're missing the point. I'm saying if Ryse was a QD game it would be perceived differently based on expectations from QD.

Ryse wasn't great, but I certainly feel it was a better product than Beyond Two Souls. Yet Beyond did better amongst critics and much better in user reviews. I think expectations from QD and Crytek are very different. People seem to be content with mediocre products from QD, yet people expect better from Crytek.

If you look through this thread people actually believe Beyond Two Souls was panned. In reality, the critics generally gave it positive reviews and users reviews are stellar. Its a double standard for mediocrity.
