Forums - Microsoft - Ryse looking gorgeously crappy

So Im not the only one who thinks the game looks gorgeous but the main character has zero charisma and the game focuses too much on 'hack, hack QTE'? At some point it will all get monotonous. This is coming from a hack n slash enthusiast. I'm not even a fan of Crysis. They are great at graphics intensive games but just so weak elsewhere.

Didn't that game also had the ending in DLC? xDD Never played it tough, and doesn't sound like a nice game

I liked it a lot for its story and style, and it even had some bursts of actual gameplay, too!

Gaming journalism...

"When it comes to combat and gameplay aesthetics, one of the early misconceptions has been that Ryse is nothing more than a QuickTime events free-for-all. The developers on hand assured us that the game was built on an intuitive system where players have the option to either button mash simultaneously or use the QuickTime prompts as directed. Both actions lead to different attack variations and precise timing can lead to bonus XP (experience points) and health boosts."

So if you don't like QTEs or aren't good at them, just button mash?

Wow... And this is what they are saying to premote the game?

Check out my hype threads: Cyberpunk, and The Witcher 3!

I thought it just looked shitty.

.....and the pun in the name is not funny.



I LOVE ICELAND!

It has actual gameplay? xDDD If that's so I could see myself asking a friend and borrow it.

From my perspective, It looks "pretty dull", literally. Tech seems ok, art style - very flat.

Unfortunately, Crytek is sinking deeper and deeper, they haven't made anything truly good since FarCry 1 (really big fan of that game).

you surely don't like much of the xbox one after reading your posts of the last few weeks. at least you like every single aspect of the competitors console. good for your next gen experience

Turn 10 is above Polyphony at this point in my books if that helps. There will be a Xbox1 in my place, but my enthusiasm for it isn't sky-high - you're right.

Also, I'm not that enthused by the PS4 launch lineup either. In fact, Titanfall looks better to me than any of that.

Right now PS4 is what I would recommend to people - that's all.

I've been a super-skeptic with regards to kinect since they started with their nonsense promises. Probably one of the biggest reasons I'm feeling a negative towards MS. (console-wise that is, with respect to OS I support UBUNTU and loath Windows {piece of shit} )

Is that acceptable?



QTEs are optional in the game, you can avoid them.

geez. People always remember the bad things that they have seen or read somewhere but overlook everything else.

Yeah, it has beat 'em up and shmup type segments. It's worth a spin if you like crazy anime like Fist of the North Star.

OT: I'm confused about Ryse. It's not just QTEs? Those were just some type of indicators?
