If this was a ps4 game you guys wouldve being excited, just like youre excited by crappy indie spaceshooters

Of course not. Everyone was all riled up about it looking like a QTE fest and now that's not the case anymore. Looks like a solid launch title and the Gladiator mode looks especially promising in co-op.

Deserves criticism, as does any game. But if people are hating it because its an exclusive on the console that they aren't getting, then that's pathetic.

It doesn't look anywhere near bad enough to deserve any hate, but it isn't ground breaking either.

Not really ... but i remember some of it's defenders trashing something like Asura's Wrath for the same flaws . Or , for the few console wars obsessed trolls , sometimes stuff like Heavy rain as well .

Now suddenly you slap an exclusivity or a shiny Crytek engine and all is well ?

From the looks of it, yes it does. All style with no substance.

microtransaction ryse of qte god of war clone no originality.. no it clearly does not deserve its critism -_-

Criticism's the word, but the main thing is, it shouldn't be praised as much as it has.

It doesn't deserve the hate, it just doesn't deserve the praise which xbox fanboys are projecting onto it.

It simply does not look like a very good game.

Its being held up as a showcase title by both MS and Crytek, and its not delivering.

At the very least Crytek needs to be called on their BS.

Of course not. Look at the guys who are actuall hating.

Skips is the perfect example. He will be here in a minute.

I got it preordered and feel totally fine with it.

On this site anything X1 related will be hated, and that is the truth. No one on this site can deny that, MS is considered to be worst than Hitler around here, but Sony, nah Sony is like the next messiah. Sony can never do wrong, they are like the perfect company w no mistakes Ever! This is daily too

the graphics and animation have been so horribly downgraded from the pc demo shown at e3

just release the damn game on pc so we can play it where it doesn't run and look like garbage!

it looks like its utterly unplayable. 2/10

I wasn't impressed at all by it

only here on N4G... This site is known for having a great xbox community...lol

hahaha.....Its not hate, the stuff is clearly broken...roken games for full price is theft

i thought the Batman style combat suited it, would buy this day one if it come to PC or PS4, i want it, but would never buy Microsoft system for any game, game looks great though for corridor game fighter, and the co-op i seen looks like tonnes of fun

Oh damn! He got me at..

String executions together! I wonder if i can chop off a limb at a time.. At first i thought it was lame cause he didnt have combos just simple attack... Then the executions came a long! i was dissapointed to mostly see one execution, stab from the back of the neck...

I cant believe this game wasnt even in my radar! What turned me down the most was the slow down kills but after that second video i noticed the cinematic executions sounds like magic!

I really hope they have many executions cause imo thats going to be the magic up close and personal.. I hope they get it right..

I expected more than only combat from this game. I would like to see some exploration or even some final bosses. I hope that the'll show us soon.

I am not picking up a XB1 for a few years as I prefer Sony's console however I think that the game deserves absolutely no hate.

Only demo's have been shown so far and while some demo's have looked better than others I think that overall there seems plenty to look forward to from this game.

The setting is cool, its a nice looking game and it is being put together by a very competent developer.

My only complaint so far is that I would like to see more footage of it running on an actual XB1 instead of a dev kit if they are going to keep demoing it.

As with any other game regardless of which console it is destined for, you need to judge the game on release.

There are lot of talented people working on this game and nobody (and I mean NOBODY) sets out to make a bad game, the devs want to make a great piece of entertainment above all else, so give them a chance to put the game out before you judge them!

Doesn't deserved to be hated. But it does indeed deserve to be criticised to the bone. Mostly because of that gameplay.

From what's been said, and what's been displayed from the game, yeah it does deserve it. The game doesn't seem ground breaking, and there is no wow factor, we haven't seen any true warrant to why we should believe this game is going to be epic, Since the few that have played it have been disappointed with it so far?

Well, I stood in line for over 2 hours to play it at Gamescom and the only thing that left me disappointed, was that the demo was only 10 minutes! If a game leaves you wanting more, they must be doing something right.

Was not aware of the hate must have missed it a well maybe next time I can jump aboard and get some pats on the back.

Haters are gonna hate. The other camp can't stand to see that a game on a supposed "inferior" system can stand toe to toe and even outshine their superior tech.

But make no mistake this is just the beginning for the Xbox one and we will see many more stunning games in the future.

Guess we will find out when reviews start popping up.

I've been craving an updated shadow of Rome for years. Sadly this doesn't look to be it like I had originally hoped

I think the concept is a good one, but if Crytek and MS were smart they would delay this 3 to 6 months. I have been following this game since E3 because I am a big action hack an slash fan. The GOW, Ninja Gaiden, DMC series, etc. etc. I really enjoy these games but I don't think Ryse is ready. It needs more added to the combat, more combos and move sets, more added to the animation, and some variation in the combat sound instead of the same clanking sound of sword on shield, it shouldn't sound the same each time metal is hit with metal.

I think the potential is there and fear it is being rushed for a launch title. Crytek can't really afford this game to be a another disappointment as many feel their last two Crysis games were and their last great game was the original Crysis. Crytek should listen to gamers on this one if they want this to be a franchise. Take more time and polish.

The only reason it would deserve any hate is on the grounds of if it was shown it on a high performance PC rather than on an XboxOne. But I'm not sure that's the case.

The 'QTEs' are finishing moves, all spliced together in the demo for the sake of showing impressive animations. It's utterly ludicrous to think that the game is nothing more than Dragon's Lair in sandals. It's hack and slash, done more prettily and with more background detail and probably more character than hack and slash has ever been done. That's to be applauded. With launch games , if it's a solid 8/10 that's fine. Don't attack the essence of gaming just because it doesn't look like a Sony game.

The hate mainly stems from biased jealous hate filled Sony fanboys. I think the target gamer Xbox base is very excited for this game. The multiplayer for the most part seems a little lackluster and tacked on but the Single Player is looking pretty awesome.....

One of the best looking games of last gen imo. Should have had a sequel by now. Doubt we will ever see one though.

I thought a second one didn’t happen because the two parties couldn’t agree who actually owned the Ryse IP.

Evolve was a great game, Ryse had its chance as a launch title. They had plenty of exposure.

It was a blast to play. The campaign was short for sure, but still entertaining. And the HIGHLY underrated arena mode is simple, but seriously worth playing with a friend. Had a blast customizing my gladiator and going through all the rounds with the moving/changing arena. So much fun.

You know who deserve a second shot ? SHADOW OF ROME

Ryde on Xbox and The Order on PlayStation are the two games that often come to mind that scream "do a sequel". A few improvements in both areas, ala ACII
(personally preferred Altair but Ezio was cool and the game itself definitely an improvement) would do wonders. The fact a decade later we have Alan Wake 2 tells me never give up hope.

For a launch style game it looked 8ncredible was very lineier so they could turn up visuals it's worth a part 2 or at least a series x upgrade

Loved that game, i dont get the hate or why there wasnt a second one, its Rome, so many battles to explore in so many parts of the world.

a metacritic score of 60

it can only be stockholm syndrome

I enjoyed the game, but I felt it had pacing issues. I think it really would have benefited from maybe a hub area you could just wander around and speak to people. Some RPG elements and upgrades wouldn't be bad, but that is not in line with a realistic Rome.

The game deserves to be enhanced for the X1X, and Series consoles first.

I just wish the game had a deeper combat system.

Totally true.

No

Whats crazy to me that no one seems to mention is how much the gameplay is similar to the new God of War games. I had a friend try out God of War a couple years back that had only had an xbox last gen. They specifically mentioned that GoW was just Ryse with with a Norse spin. So I went and played Ryse afterward and holy crap, it was really eerie how similar the gameplay was.
