Well, we have all heard of the reviews about Ryse as the game with great graphics but little in terms of content. Well I have just watched part 1&2 of this guy´s walkthrough and, although he is a bit too focused on the graphics, I am extremely impressed by this game nd only more excited to play it once I have seen it:

It´s very reminiscent of Batman (which I love), it´s fast and engaging! I see soo many executions that I have a hard time thinking this could become boring in any way.

Well, after watching the first part, what do you guys think of it?

Well, I think the game is great.
Superb showcase of visuals, some decent gameplay, solid story, and an alright online mode.
Pretty much everything I would look for in a game. Gameplay could have used more variety, but for a launch game, I was impressed.

How long did it take to finish? I prefer games that are not too long :).

honestly if this were a 3rd party multiplat no one would ever even talk about this game, let alone defend it.

I'm going to at least give it a chance, just not a $60 chance.

I got it today and so far its not bad at all.

So, why are you here?

How far have you come? :)

I am not that far into it yet. Just finished the part where Marius comes home and is talking with his father and they get attacked.

Visually stunning with bland story and gameplay. Since it is launch, i can forgive its shortcomings.

However, as people have said, the game would have no attention if it was multiplatform.
