Dead Rising 3 looks better than this.

Well DR3 looks shit but it does play better and give you way more fun.

I'm a PS Fan but I think every Xbone's owner needs to play DR3.

I have played fully through Ryse. The graphics and entire premise of this game are so cool, but the fighting is PISS POOR. The actual combat and executions are the highlight of the game, and after an hour I couldn't stand it. It blows me away at how the actual gameplay element of these was done in a way that ended up so boring, devil may cry or even something akin to Darksiders or Bayonetta would have been much much better even though already done to death. Maybe not as gruesomely but still done to death. I mean you can't even mess up the executions...It is literally the closest a game of this type has ever come to not letting you play the game and being only an interactive movie. If the one element they needed to get right was right this game would have been epic. I loved certain setpieces and other aspects of the game including MP, but the core fighting in this game is quite possibly the most repetitive and boring ever in this genre. Think Ninja Gaiden 3 repetition, yeah seriously, but Ryse is probably slightly more repetitive and you can't mess up the executions...Also the second of slo mo before every hit got SOOOO annoying after the first hour.  That should have only been implemented for specific hits or timings not everything !  It makes every fight feel the exact same.



Terrible animation work and dat QTE spam
Generally looks like a terrible game. Why not just watch a movie or something if pretty graphics is all you want seeming as the gameplay seems very poor.



that 3rd video... my God that was painful to watch



 

maybe, but people championed Forza 5 is so great looking.

but im playing it right now id say vastly overrated, clearly better then previous but really not some earth shattering improvement as some claaimed.

Nice graphics, shame about the rest.

Holy shit at that QTE fest in the last video, damn. Literally every encounter

Yep. After you beat the boss, its one of the most impressively animated pieces oof gaming Ive ever seen in my life. It was like licking gold.


Why would you lick gold???

You have TLoU and Uncharted in your signature and you're telling him to go watch a movie if pretty graphics is all he wants? Should take your own advice.

You seem to miss that TLOU and Uncharted are actually acclaimed titles. Ryse on the other hand, is not. Obviously I don't give a shit about your opinion on those games because for all we know it could be a utter lie. So just look up some summaries on metacritic or take a look at some past awards regarding those two games you just mentioned.


I also have a Helghast in my signature to reflect Killzone 2. Killzone Shadow Fall on the other hand, which was very pretty graphically, was a shitty game.

 

It's the co-existance of a great game with stunning graphics that are worth praising.

A game playing like shit but looking good is just facepalm worthy. Graphics ALONE cannot carry a game.

Do yourself a favour and play those games before you make comments like that. Especially with TLOU if you seriously think this game is nothing but pretty graphics and a good story then you really don't know what you're talking about.
