This game is getting fucking destroyed.
Game Informer: "Ryse: Son Of Rome Is As Fun As Dialing Phone Numbers" (ouch)
- Thread starter GetemMa
- Start date
QTEs aren't the sole interaction. Have you even bothered to look at any of the gameplay?
Not really, some previews have been pretty positive.
I'm baffled by how many people immediately think that the game instantly sucks because it is a (p)reviewers opinion.
Playing a game is always an opinion that you make yourself, don't write a game off just simply because someone says he thinks it sucks. God, I can honestly say that I sometimes like chick-flicks that get a mediocre 5 on IMDB more than action movies that receive an 8.

The game has never looked anything but terrible.

Always, as in after DRM 180 now that they're not restricting you to select retailers. MS is publishing this tripe..

Actually seems pretty mixed to me. Someone needs to do a preview compilation thread or something.
Because of one wrecking preview?
Mad World and Vanquish are also insultingly bad. Only Bayonetta is a good game.

This is what happens when a Kinect game is forced into a controller game. It was a on rails swing your hands and watch the lag fight kinda game, and suddenly they decided to make it next gen launch game. It had disaster written all over it.

I forsee a metric tonne of 6/10 reviews
The Joystiq one didn't seem to great, either.
"one"
Also, game previews are conventionally glowing PR pieces, so things must be pretty subpar/bad if the downsides of this trash are called out by the games press.
Yes. At least color palette got changed to a horrible one and the controls were more like in Crysis 2. VTOL level was axed.
Pay attention, there's far more than just GI calling it crap. If anything horrible outlets (with questionable integrity) like IGN saying it's great are the minority here.
I disagree.
I'd say it looks like a dumb but fun brawler with an interesting setting and awesome graphics. And that seems to be exactly what a lot of the previews have been saying.
I may play a demo to go wow, look at the graphics, but I've seen no gameplay footage even remotely compelling.

Would only make sense if everything was shit. And even this seems to be polarising.
And it can't be that hard as this is days ahead of that supposed embargo date.

Love that DS gif. It's the one thing Ryse has going for it now.

The fact that Sirius is on the mic....makes it that much funnier lol...
By wrecking I meant wrecking, calling it outright "sucks".
I like the cut of your jib, brah. Ryse is definitely getting overhyped and that was a problem mainly with Microsoft. The game's a launch game, so it's going to sell. But really, it kinda has sounded since the beginning that the game is more of a showcase than a great game. Every console has these games at release. Nobody really cared much for Pilotwings: Resort when the 3DS came out, but everyone bought a copy and it definitely showcased the 3D nicely. Ryse: Son of Rome looks to be the same. Its flashy graphics and multitude of things going on on-screen will keep people interested and entertained if the gameplay will not.
That being said, hopefully Crytek makes sure there's no slowdown. A jerky framerate could definitely kill the game for those who are able to look past the gameplay.

The destuctoid preview is the best one to me.

Well I'm counting 4 positive to 3 not positive so far.

What worse criticism can you give a game than calling it boring, which several outlets in this thread have?

Damn, those are some brutal previews. I had high hopes the single player would at least be good, but they couldn't deliver...
Ah well. At least it will serve as good eye candy.

This type of game seems to be a love it or hate it type of game so i'm not surprised. I'll wait to reserve judgement for myself.

The only time previews are ever not positive is when the previewer really really hates the game.
I would not say the Venturebeat one is all that positive.
Yce cold.

It's not about the tech. It's about fun.
REALLY, SPENCER???

There are plenty.
Graphically it is, at least until Infamous comes out. But hardly anyone focuses on gameplay when they talk about next gen stuff.
