Not really surprised, it's the best looking game of this gen after all

As I said in the other thread, I have yet to meet a person who purchased it and did not enjoy it.

I havn't played it, but Forza is totally mediocre.

i love the fact that we do more damage control than the actual companies :P

Well... opinions. Who cares what reviewers think? They can't tell us what's a good and bad game. Some will like Ryse, some won't, simple as that. I don't understand why people don't get this.

Who are you trying to convince at this point, us or yourself?

Good for them. I liked quite a few of games that scored badly.

People mostly care about graphics now, this is sad that this make crytek right with their "games are 60% graphic philosophy". http://www.destructoid.com/crytek-says-graphics-are-60-of-a-game-experience-251434.phtml
