Half of chapters in Ryse beaten in 90 minutes ?

Hopefully a few more people chime in on the game. Regardless of what is said I'm still gonna pick it up, game looks fun to me and I'm sure there is fun to be had with it.
 
Bah. I really cannot decide. On the one hand, I'm a huge fan of Roman history and the graphics look phenomenal. I can see potential. On the other, everyone who's played it says it's crap. I've already canceled and then reordered my preorder. What a conundrum.

So they "review" a game they are halfway done with? I noticed this was posted a couple hours ago... So they have 100% the game by now, right?
 
What the hell happen to this game? It looks so promising despite the QTE during the unveil and now it's a 3 hour Kinect game that plays itself.

Sadly enough, it always was a kinect game that was turned into a full next gen launch game. But as we can all see, it wasn't properly designed enough to begin with : combat design looks very limited, hidden QTE everywhere, short lifespan... Crytek have really good tech guys and artist, the game does look gorgeous but at third person brawler requiers a lot of carefully crafted animation, blending and procedurals joints. Much harder to do than a fps were you can cheat pretty easily as the player movement are never seen. Here you can't cheat the camera... I wish Ryse was a good Roman epic but maybe that will be for the sequel if they give it more time and a proper pre-production and real game design this time.

I'm guessing it's between 6-8 hours depending on the player. Have they said anything about secrets or collectibles or anything like that? I know it's linear, which will keep its time down but if there are a few things to watch out for that would help it.

It says right there in the article preview. Im assuming the embargo is still up on the game so they cant give a complete review

Excellent. I know it is hated to hell and back, but I want to play the shit out of this game.
Don't listen to the internet too much. I'm sure by watching the live stream last week thats its gonna be a solid game. I actually love what i've seen so far and the graphics really show what the One can do.

Not every one whos played it said it was crap. look around and see. If you are feeling the game, pick it up because thats all that matters. look online you will find a few people who said they had a blast with Ryse.
 
Multiplayer better be phenomenal a sp focused game should be at least 12 hours long 20 is preferable. Modern game design is disappointing 90% of the time.

The stream was very good. I really wish XBO's Twitch support would be day 1, I would love to be able to check out regular people playing this like I'm doing with PS4 games.

Why would this website say this evident lie? Anyone french can shed some light about this website?

I suspected they were full of it. In the recent stream it took 45 minutes to play through the first chapter of like 8. No way is it a 3 hour game.

Not a click baiting site. But it's a preview copy/event so I guess they rushed through the game most likely in " journo at event " (aka super easy) difficulty and skipped all cinematics.

They also say " nearly half of the game " so it's maybe not 3 hours. Maybe it will end up being 4 to 5 hours (we saw SP games being this short) and not really shock sadly ...

That is kinda irrelevant if we don't know what kinda pace they were playing the game at.

Well, going by seeing 1 chapter taking 45 minutes, a guy who beat it saying it took him 7 hours, plus the devs saying it is around 8 hours weighs pretty heavily in favor of it not being a 3 hour game.

Not the most impartial source.

We are no longer trusting developers on the length of the games they built and tested themselves?

I mean seriously? If they wanted to lie they could have thrown out a much bigger number and what would be the point of lying when reviews will be out in days?

Why would they say 6.5-8.5 when they could just say 9?
