I love all these people trying to downplay the Xbox exclusives. At least the ones getting the Xbox have some game variety. Ps4 only has knack and killzone.


because fuck indie games. they cant be played, arent fun and sure as hell dont provide any fucking variety!


Aré you for real? I'm sure those games aré coming to ps4 but no body buys a 400 dollar console to play indie games.

X1 line up looks better. Sorry but it's the truth and i'm buying both so i can tell you my unbiased opinion. Can you people attacking ryse in this thread say the same? I really don't think so.

For some people, Bayoneta was one of the best rack and slash, with the most advanced combat mechanics of this generation... Or you could play it with one hand.

You can play Arkhan games pressing only Y during combats.

Well, the moral is "If you are not interested in high combat scores and executions, those are not games for you".

Lol have you even played Bayonetta?  It is not possible to play with one hand.

i love how people touted this as the defining Xbox exclusive, it's a poor mans god of war, with that said, it is beautiful if only it had more depth.


Its not God of War in the slightest. It's trying to be but it looks like a hybrid of Assassins Creed with the attacks and Batman Arkham City when it comes to combat and the counter system.

@max king of the wild --- If you had ps1 back in those days,, there was a game called bushido blade. That was a one hit kill fighting game. I can say that was very intense and fun game. Lol to a certain extent ,, at least make sense. Why would a roman have teh power of teh gods liek kratos? He has heavy armor and big shield . Hes not nearly as naked like kratos to be able to fly around without any consequences. Yeah and everygame should play liek god of war and have story where the protaganist gets fooled on teh same premise for at least 4 games just to haev an excuse to kill big bosses?

Bushido Blade was awesome.  Damn, I wish they'd make another.  Every fight was intense.

On topic, Ryse might not be a bad game but I get the impression that it won't be for everyone.  Personally, I just can't summon any interest for it.   Of course, I don't care for the Roman period of history, so that might be part of it.

I really hope the irony in this post was intentional. What irony you ask? Well, the bold words.


It was never my intention to hurt your feelings but i meant what i said. I'm talking about launch games and ps4 only has two exclusives. All those indie games can be played on pc or/and smartphone? I'm buying a ps4 too but you people take too personal.

So do you realize the irony of calling out "people trying to downplay the xbox exclusives" and then in the exact same post trying to downplay the ps4 exclusives? Even now in this reply you're doing nothing but trying to downplay the ps4 exclusives. Ending it with "I'm buying a ps4 too but you people take [it] too personal" doesn't do anything to help your cause.

I never downplayed the sony exclusives. You are not as smart as you think you are.

I criticized the lack of variety, obviously. Why would i downplay a game like killzone which i'm buying at launch btw.

You people are really desperate.

There is a video in this topic somewhere that shows a girl playing the game with just one hand.



Nice downplaying Aldro, now I suggest you go on the internet and see all thr positive articles instead of acting like this. We can't do anything about you not being able to get a one and are so mad about it you need to downplay everything ;)

I dunno about Bayonetta, but combat isn't the only thing about the Arkham games. I thought the combat aspect of Arkham Origins was relatively dull, but I enjoyed the game a lot for all the other elements that go to making up the total package. If Ryse is only about the swordplay then there is no comparison at all to the Arkham games.

And Ryse doesn't sound like it can be compared at all to God of War. If you try to get through GoW pressing one button with your left hand off the controller you won't get far at all. And given Bayonetta is very similar to GoW I'm going to assume that claiming Ryse is similar to Bayonetta is oversimplifying Bayonetta.

The thing I find amusing about one of the OP quotes is " In playing for almost three hours over five levels, I can tell you that I wanted to put the controller down and play something else." Lol most games I play after 3 hours I just want to put the controller down and not play anything. So I don't know how that statement can be interpretted as a criticism. Though if the person was intending to play for 4-5 hours in order to get a solid experience from the game I guess not wanting to bother completing the self appointed task isn't exactly a good thing.

Honestly I wonder why people are actually expecting a crazemazing game out of Crytek. My impression of them is that they make an amazing game engine but they are not that crash hot at making good games. So it appears, in at least some people's opinions, Crytek is playing to type. They've made a visually impressive game which is strong on style and light on substance.
