Forums - Microsoft - Ryse and Xbox One - my thoughts.

I agree. Everyone that has come to my house agrees. Its a cinematic gameplay experience. If this game was on PS4 it would have got praise to no end. Its like only cinematic games are okay on PS consoles. But yet Ryse is the best cinematic game Ive ever had the pleasure to play. Including the Uncharteds and TLOU of this world.

I don't care what Some fans will say to this. Or what reviews say. Sony need to match Ryse for me in a cinematic experience to try and draw me in. Because Ryse was fantastic from start to finish.

No.

Anyway, I think it's a lot better than the reviews make it out to be, just like Knack. I'd still want to play it purely for the graphics and cinematic style.

No Aldro is on a whole nother level.

AS for TLOU. Yeah I think it actually might have been when I changed ISP. I had no internet 3-4 weeks. Cause they messed up. But at least you can clearly see my Uncharted 3 info was correct. That was the most boring of the series for me. I didnt finish that. So Ill have to get picture.

Then when I traded for GTA5 my PS3 never got turned on again. So yeah. Ask me a question about the game that I can only answer If I played it. Like the controls or where the first time you meet clickers is and what happens. Or the little girl is she or isnt she. ;) You not what I mean though. Without spoiling



You need to play more games

On Xbox Live it lets you review out of 5 stars. Xbox gamers have been notoriously harsh in the past rating Gears of War Judgement a average of 3.

Ryse is sitting at 4.5 stars with over 6,000 reviews so far.

The game is 100% brilliant. Never before have I seen a discrepancy so big between Live review scores and media

The game is pretty, the game is bloody, the game is a big X1 exclusive, alot of people probably bought a X1 for that game thus have a large confirmation bias, they're still completely caught up in launch hype....these are all reasons why those gamer reviews are completely worthless at the moment. Same with Knack, where people are also saying it's actually really good...wait 2 more years and then look back at Ryse or Knack and you're probably going to wonder what you thought was amazing about these games.

Right now you have nothing but people trying to justify their 400-500 $ console purchases by making these launch games into more then they really are.

Sorry disagree. Its one of the best games Ive played since Halo 4. Im not justifying anything. Im a Forza nut. And Ive played Forza for 10 mins. That says everything. Ryse is a fantastic cinematic experience. With Voice acting, Visuals and emotion unmatched in console gaming yet from my experience.


That sure says something about Halo 4's quality

You guys are trying way to hard.

So many gamers are actually enjoying Ryse. Deal with it. This isnt some small selection of people. ALOT of people like Ryse. But because the reviews say otherwise we are ALL wrong.

Well Hey I finished Ryse in 8 hours. And have started it again. I didnt finish TLOU and care for it that much. So because I must be so wrong, I'll listen to you, take my Xbox back get a ps3 again and finish TLOU. Even if I thought it was mediocre and couldnt be bothered with it in the end.

Because we should all follow your opinion.

I have nothing against opinions from people who can have convey rational thoughts and not close down their own analytic ability.

If Ryse is one of the best games you've played, like you have stated it is: Then I genuinely feel sorry for you. Especially since you demonstrate a will to discuss matters (being a part of a forum and what-not).

 

As for the PSN stuff, you asked us on the forum to take a look. One of many instances where you speak before you think. You need to understand the differences between a vast minority and majority. A vast majority feel The Last of Us is one of the greatest games of this year and possibly generation. A vast majority feel Ryse was nothing special outside of visual fidelity. You, feeling the opposite: makes you a part of a minority.

Let the battle of the graphics whores commence.

They already achieved that with Knack. 



I enjoyed playing through Ryse, but it left a lot to be desired.

1) Failing a QTE should end a combo. No penalty makes it boring.
2) There should have been significantly more execution animations given you spend so much time watching them.
3) There should have been more tactical ways to clear enemies in an area. Such as setting off traps, stealth kills, etc.
4) Multiplayer should support more than two players. It should have been four at a minimum.

As is Ryse is a solid 6. But with my suggestions, it could have been a 7 or 8.

1.  there is kind of a penalty as you score less for not completing it.

2.  you didnt upgrade the executions with your points?

3.  agree

4.  agree

Its a sold 7 for me.  the improvements would make it an easy 8

1. That's not a significant enough penalty. Missing a button at the beginning of an excutation should stop it. Perhaps button presses after that should be for points.

2. I did, but I must have executed hundreds of enemies in a single playthough. Executions are a big part of the game and watching the same animations over and over became tedious.

ha ha haa.  nice.

cinematic he said... not saturday afternoon cartoon time.

People here may not like th game (particularly those that haven't played it) but there is no doubt it is the best looking console game out there.  It just is

No it isn't. I fully respect your opinion, you may find the game great. The graphics claim is laughable at best though. The best thing about the graphics is the character models and there are just a handful of them. Killzone has the upper edge in pretty much everything else while being in 1080p and maintaining a much higher FPS (sometimes triple). Whoever you ask will tell you that having difficulties with going over 20 fps is not a technical achievement in any book. You can make stunning slideshows as well, but hardly anyone would call it a game.

Though it is strange that it shows Xbone struggles with even an exclusive game performancewise, and the resolution is already scaled back. It'll get uglier as the gen progresses. Not many third parties have this kind of staff either.
