Ryse. What the actual fuck?

I know its been around in a while now, not very long ago it was a kinect only game, but I suppose they backtracked considering how awful kinect really is. Instead...now its a game with alot of quicktimeevents.....horaaa(not really!).

For those of you thinking this is sweet, think about the fact that an average game is around 6-8 hours long. Imagine 8 hours of this shit.

[Leshma]

You don't even have to play it. Put joypad aside, sit in your char and watch the game plays itself.

[Kafein]

It wouldn't be better if it was 1 hour long.

[Christo]

EVERY kill has to be a Quicktime Event?

:consoles:

[Tibe]

If it was priced 1€ and 1 hour long it would be a pretty good game. Cause in the course of 1 hour the slowmoLookAtMyAwesomeSwingsWhileYouMashRandomButtons thing wouldnt get on my tits so fast and it would be priced accordingly. But it will probably be overpriced and have a very shallow gameplay.

[B3RS3RK]

lol I still think it will probably be a very nice game, mainly because I am a fan of games that kind of resemble interactive movies.I dotn mind all those quicktime events, it seems nice.

I have the dream that one day there will be a truly interactive movie, you know, like those scenes in a game where you cant do much but look around, and this for an hour or so.This would be awesome in a game that´s set for example in ww2 or the medieval.

When you buy a ticket to see a movie, the ticket costs like 5€(atleast here) a game like that costs 60. The difference is massive.
What truly rates a game is the outcome which is based on how much work was put into the project, budget, the people involved, the acctual saleprice compared with what it has to offer. I mean you cant expect much from some 2 guy team indie game you bought for 3€, if it dissapoints, its cool(mostly), but if you buy some triple A title with every little cash you scraped together and disapoint, now that is an issue.

This game should be a 10€ movie imo. It has epic setpieces and overall looks sweetsauce. Id enjoy it alot more if I was eating popcorn and watching the cutscenes. Should really get some friends over, force them to play it while I drink beer on the couch and mock them.

BTW. It doesnt matter if you press iwin button, you win anyway.

I slash twice and then whooom slow motion is initiated, shit is about to get ‘cinematic’. A button prompt hovers elusively above the sword I’m about to drive into the throat of my enemy… argh I’m too slow! The prompt flickers, disappears.

I missed it. Damn.

But then somehow, for some reason, I still complete the cinematic ‘kill’.

What?

Maybe it’s a bug I think, but no. Next time I deliberately press the wrong button. The kill goes ahead, no consequences. Then I try hitting no buttons whatsoever. The kill goes ahead. I put the controller on the table in front of me, the kill goes ahead.

What is going on here?

I ask one of the Crytek people hovering at the booth – is this a bug? Why am I completing kills when I hit the wrong button prompt? Or, worse, no button at all. Turns out it was a deliberate design choice.

“We don’t want the player to feel frustrated,” I am told.

Consoles are the cancer of gaming, nothing new here tbh.

[B3RS3RK]

Well, this will make the game very relaxing - once qte starts, sit back and watch.Repeat a few thousand times and win the game

[Leshma]

It makes the game stupid, actually it's not even a game anymore.

[Thovex]

Who can beat the game fastest without touching your joypad

Edit: I'd rather they'd make this a movie. 

[Kafein]

Also a serious case of assassin's creed guard mob syndrome, when you have all the enemies attacking you in turns.

Yeah I was thinking that too. It's too bad they did this QuickTime bullshit with this game. The roman theme of the game looks really good.

[Tor!]

Great theme for a game, but cant let players feel frustrated if they miss the timing! 

This engine and setting they got going, with proper combat, could have been a real hit.

[Clockworkkiller]

As someone who plays primarily on consoles, I say you can all take your PC elitist bullshit and fuck yourselves.
Stop pirating games and bashing other platforms, maybe you'll get the love, attention and popularity you desire.
