Ryse: son of rome is actually enjoyable
- Thread starter zoodoo
- Start date
So you are telling me its impossible for someone to enjoy that game? I can bet some kid, some old guy that used to drive trucks, or someone actually enjoys this no matter how shitty you think of it. I mean we are in a thread about Ryse being "enjoyable" which is considered by most as a bellow average game so what gives?
I really want a sequel, but to be honest the game isn't that distinct in style or mechanics.
What is stopping MS from just making a game set in Rome? What benefit do they get from buying the IP if Crytek doesn't want to make a sequel?

Beat the game a few times near launch and had a good time with it. I thought it became more fun on the hardest difficulty, where you had to strategically choose which resource you needed when performing finishers.
It wasn't super deep, but there's a lot of untapped potential there in my opinion.

i am not talking about a genre or type of games that appeal to certain people. Did you at least glance at the video?
You cannot finish a mission cause collision does not work. the truck goes through the road. It's just unplayable, not because you might not like this type of game, the game is just technically broken.
I enjoyed the PC version, but the FOV was unbearably shallow and detracted from the experience. No way to change it :/
I played this on PC, and it was a nice experience, very good looking graphics, story > whatever, combat was kinda repetitive, but not that "bad" at all.
This game deserves a sequel... just take all the feedback from the first one and DO IT!

Rumor was they were working on the details to fund Ryse 2. The issues in question are related to intellectual property and apparently Microsoft agreed to fund Ryse 2 but only if they could buy the Ryse IP from Crytek as well. Crytek just didn't want to sell even with how bad they were financially.
It can still be enjoyed by people that dont even know games or kids that just want to drive forward. How many gatcha games dont make people spend shitton on money on stuff I bet you would consider not being enjoyable. That term is completely subjective and people sometimes enjoy moving shit with a stick.
People can enjoy looking at walls all day and that still doesnt make walls a form of entertainment. This is a non argument.
It is the worst Xbox one exclusive I've played. Shallow story and narrative. Hilarious writing and voice acting. Combat is even worse than some PS1 games with you only pressing x and y countless times and then execution move. No diversity no depth no feeling of accomplishment.
Wot you smoking? Ryse's acting is spectacular.
What specifically is "hilarious" about this? This is absolutely top notch stuff. The cinematography. The visuals. The music. The acting in this scene is arguably some of the best in the medium. The facial animation has been surpassed by Hellblade, but it still holds up very well. The entire scene -- and many scenes like it -- has fantastic writing and fantastic acting and it's exceptionally well shot. Did we play the same game?
It was okay, like a high 5 low 6 on my scale, I wonder what the Assassin's Creed 2 version of Ryse would've looked like as in how great AC2 was compared to AC1
I think it's one of the most underrated games this gen. I played through it multiple times and had a blast online with friends. Plus this was a freakin launch game! It's got its flaws, but it's still pretty fun to play. Graphics are amazing and still hold up like OP said. It could definitely use an X enhancement and then it'd be absolutely gorgeous! Hope you enjoy your time with it OP, it's great. :D
Difference is we are not talking about a wall but an actual functional game (hey you can drive forward) and it at least has sounds.
When I was a kid I used to enjoy some driving loop game that was on a plastic device.
This is exactly why I think it could have been something special had it got the sequel treatment. Shame what happened to Crytek after that.
Does MS own this IP?
No one argued about technical stuff. (Facial animation, gfx, etc.) The actual writing and voice acting isn't effective and impactful comparing to other "serious" games. It's like B movies.
Call me crazy, but I even enjoyed the combat. Story was somewhat sloppy but serviceable. I liked upgrading the skills and liked the game overall, it didn't deserve the negativity.
The voice acting is among the best the games industry has ever seen/heard. This is about as good as videogame acting gets. The combination of fantastic voice acting, amazing animation, and sharp writing.
"HOW DARE YOU!"
*regains composure*
*drops voice*
"How."
"Dare."
"You."
Ryse is a go-to example of the best acting videogames have to offer. IMO, its acting easily stands alongside the classic sword and sandal films it draws influence from.

For me it was so fake and soulless. Couldn't take it serious for a sec.
I have to ask, do you like the sword and sandal genre? Ben Hur, Spartacus, The Robe, Ten Commandments, stuff like that? Even stuff like I Claudius? Because to me, Ryse is a modern fantasy-infused version of that genre. Like a hybrid of the more classic films mixed with more contemporary versions such as Gladiator.
I can understand not liking Ryse's gameplay or the actual meat of the plot, but the acting in Ryse is pitch perfect, IMO. What makes it "fake" and "soulless"?
Yeah I love those stuff. What makes it soulless and fake for me is that I just can't get the context of the story, character development is really bad through the game therefore I just can't take what they're saying or doing serious tbh.
Really enjoyed that game. Was hesitant to buy it for some not outstanding reviews. Gave it a go, was like blowned away for its fun factor, visual, it was the best looking current gen for some time.
Its a game i will still play once in a while for sure. If you havent llayed it, its a game you can grab for cheap on X1 , totally will worth the money.

I enjoyed it a lot. Not a ton of variety but a solid combat system. Beating the game on legendary was fun.
It was a very good game and i think like a lot of Xbox One exclusives its appreciation has grown over time!
Would love a sequel!

I really enjoyed it, played it start to finish on release. Even sold my disk copy and bought it digital when on sale so i can play it again. Would have loved another game. Stroy was really good and graphics superb. Only played it on the hardest difficulty though which i think is the best way.
