Philip Kollar, who did the review, didn't sound like he liked it.
Uninspired is an odd term for it, but it sounds more like lacking variety. A few types that will get reskinned throughout the game instead of introducing anything new.
This game looks terrible. Well it "looks" good but man, that gameplay looks foul. Awful. Great review. Hopefully saves some people some money
5.5, Polygon has had nothing nice to say about it. They trashed it in their Xbox One video review.
Could see even as low as 4.0, I can imagine.

I guess by uninspired he means boring and tedius.
He's talking about how all the enemies fight exactly the same draped in different skins.
Haven't watched the review but maybe he just meant that they don't fight in creative ways.
Wait until they put that shit in a Dynasty Warriors game to see Jim Sterling get REEAAALLLLLYYY angry.
Gotta make that money back somehow.

Yeah, imagine it had combat like Dark Souls. That would be something. Wish DS2 was coming next gen...but that's off topic now. The poor reviews are going to save me $60 though, that's for sure. Will wait for it to hit the bargain bin.
SOE has it covered on that one with Planetside 2, but in fairness, they're a F2P company and PS2 is a F2P game.
Way too many acronyms there.
They already have like hundreds of DLC for Uncharted 3, LBP and Motorstorm RC.

15? Damn, I thought he said fifty, it's even worse than I thought.
Or it is 510/2550

It is the Genji of the Xbox One launch.

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
Yeah, it's a $5 game with a budget way above what a $5 would have.
Only the story and script are also shit.
Oh, and it's full price...
Oh Crytek...

You mean 1020/2550.
Cancelled my Amazon pre-order just in time.
Sessler spoke directly to me about every damn single worry I had.
No thanks.
And an extra "fuck you" to microtransactions bullshit infesting almost all X1 launch titles. I will not support this.
...And I'm down to Dead Rising 3. Ugh.

LOL another game with this crap. How many Xbone games are there now that has micro-transaction crap that isn't F2P?
God damn, I am trying to troll and you ruin it all...

Polygon is going to rip Ryse worse than Sessler did.

Yup they mentioned how bad it was in the Xbox One system review, I don't see how they can give it a good score.
Wow, I honestly thought it was a $20 download game. I guess because it was originally a kinect game. Full price for this drek AND microtransactions? What shit.
Sadly confirmed what I was worried about...should have just aped combat from God of War...heavy but still at a decent speed

You are literally paying them twice not to even play the game.
Baffling.
Loved that episode. He was spot on.
Sterling's Jimquisition from this summer on the subject was brilliant: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/jimquisition/7811-Fee-to-Pay
I'm sure he'll have more to say about all this.

Game looks insane in the Sess review but is a boring mess of design.
Ugh, go back to making PC exclusive shooters Crytek.

Remember when there were comparisons with GOW because of QTEs lol.
While I generally detest Polygon, Philip Kollar is one of my favorite writers in the industry. He's pretty good, he just happens to work for a shitty site.
Well compared to current gen..yeah but make no mistake about it...just because the PS4 is more powerful than Xbone...the Xbone is still a very capable machine graphically...i expect to see some very impressive visuals with its games once developers begin to harness that "static" hardware inside of both Xbone and PS4. Look at what we are already seeing with these launch games...that is just a glimpse of what much better optimized games will look like..of course much better down the road.
It's all planned.You are buying a game it's boring so you are paying again to not play it!
Don't tell anyone I told you... but BF4 has it too...

Someone better be getting ready to put Senjutsu on life support.
As soon as I heard when the review embargo was up, it all but confirmed my fears about this game.

I just can't relate to a guy who gave my favorite game of the generation a 7.5.

Fucking shitty ass industry practice, trying to trick consumers who preorder into buying garbage :/ really wished review embargoes would go up a few days before launches.
It'll never happen, but I like to dream

Kollar is pretty shit too.
Gave Forza Horizon a 6 and The Last of Us a 7.5. Can't respect him after that.
