Good or bad, nobody will remember or care in a few months from now. ps360 launch lineup is a great example of that.
And a lot of people are going to do the same thing in the Ryse and DR3 review thread. Console warriors are the worst, especially at launch.

You can only ryse so much before you're standing up straight. Then where else is there to go but down?

KZ and Knack gets trashed.
Forza doesn't look impressive and missing standard features.
DR3 is a god awful technical mess.
Ryse is 3 hours
KI has 6 or so characters i think?
Safe to say next gen took forever to get here, yet still rushed to the market. lol

First thought as well until I kept reading. Yeesh. I knew the gameplay wasn't going to be much but having the game be only this long? Really?

I think most reviewers are going to let MS slide and give really good scores for both. Despite all the flaws.

Ryse is pretty much a lot of what's wrong with AAA gaming right now all in one game, so it being super short wouldn't be too surprising.
"The framerate gives the player the feeling of a summer blockbuster, and the resolution really brings that filmic look, unlike the overly crisp and unnatural 1080p of mediocre titles like Killzone....
...The game took a cinematic and perfectly balanced 3 hours to complete, and when combined with the wonderfully simplistic control scheme it makes for an experience that cant be matched by anything offered on the PlayStation 4"

That is one part of a game, and some actually could care less. Take a look at some of the positive reactions to a game with far more technical issues(State of Decay). Fun is fun.

What's with all the unfunny Polygon jokes? :-/

They're not jokes.
On topic: I'd be very surprised if the game was that short, very surprised.
I mean, I haven't played it yet, so I'm not really sure on how all the aspects of combat/gameplay work. But if the reviews/impressions say that the game is fun, then I'll play it, regardless of how long it is.
Yup, State of Decay is a blast and runs like shit. If DR3 is fun, I'll be playing it. Of course the game would be better without the technical issues, but that doesn't rule out a game for me.
Not saying that everyone should feel that way though, I understand a lot of people put a lot of weight on resolution/performance.

i'm not surprised considering the limited number of weapons in this game and no upgrade system.

But better...
Last of Us only got a 7.5.
There is no way to make that comparison without lowering the game review... lolhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqxKGwtAoKU
Around 45min the first chapter.

You are falsely assuming the ones gloating in those threads are the same ones praising Ryse.

Sure, but i meant campaign. Short campaigns are fine if they're designed for replayability.
Multiplayer is an entirely different beast.

Forza Motorsport - May 2005
Forza Motorsport 2 - May 2007 (Gap of two years)
Forza Motorsport 3 - October 2009 (Two years & five months)
Forza Motorsport 4 - October 2011 (Two years)
Forza Motorsport 5 - November 2013 (Two years & one month)
One ever two years is hardly rushing things these days.
Pretty much. I still think both KZ and Forza will be decently well recieved by players and people seemed super excited about KI but it seems like launch titles are being launch titles yet again.
Axes to grind after Killzone, lol.
The ryse review thread is going to be equal parts hilarious and embarrassing regardless of what happens.

Wow.
but that's also the difference between a $15 Arcade title and a $60 retail game. "Good but flawed fun" can be given a bit more of a pass at 1/4 the price.
fair enough. I am expecting the low 70s metacritic, which by "gaming review standards" is basically slaughtered... but that's a whole other story.

3-4hr campaign.
SMH. That's shorter than a COD campaign, which let's face it is an after thought.
Then again Crysis 3 was only 5 hours as I remember, when you spend so much time on presentation I guess it takes a tole on other areas of the development. A good concise single player experience can be fantastic - Portal, Journey, Limbo for example. Thing is they were each less than $20. This is $60 and unlike those games seems like a fairly standard hack and slash.

Watching this game get ripped apart in reviews will be good fun. So ready for next week.
Some NeoGAF users have trouble letting things go.

You clearly know what it's like to produce video games. You should find a job in the industry.

I was interested in Ryse but hearing that it was as fun as dialing a phone and now this. No thank you. Also hearing about those fairly significant Dead Rising performance issues. It's really all about the 3rd parties for the launch. First parties really dropping the ball here.

He probably was referring to normal mode length though. In the tweet, he was saying that he was about to begin Legendary mode. So the 7 hours was directed to his previous play through.

"This 180 min campaign is the perfect way to represent how MS listened to its customers feedback, solidifying its commitment to next generation"
10/10

jk
will get a pass for being "ambitious"
In all seriousness...i want Ryse to be a great game...but i dont see it...watching the MS' press conference when it was unveiled, Ryse was the only time i actually sat up in my chair and said "Now this looks good!"
then i saw the gameplay, and my hype has been on a downward slope since...but i WANT it to be awesome
Hey, you just mimicked the controls for the game.
