Ryse Son of Rome

Why was I not informed that this game is still receiving content updates? I must investigate this further. :confused:

I believe what came out yesterday was the last piece of DLC tied to the season pass. Even though I haven't played the game in quite a while, I've been tempted to buy the season pass to help the devs out further on such a good game. Plus, a number of the DLC achievements are supposedly quite easy to acquire. :hehe:
 
Im going to download the new dlc when I get paid. I see they added an achievement for reaching level 200. Im at level 158 ,I think, Ill go to 200 for 50 gamer points.

The best thing about Sigraph is the after hours parties :hehe:

All you have to do is visit the booths and you can get invitations and free drinks!
 
The main characters are still the best looking around for me.

Completely agree. The detail in the skin shaders and facial expressions is pretty much unrivaled. A small but impressive step better than their work in Crysis 3, which is expected.

They also do a level of simulation on the characters I haven't seen anywhere else.

And there it is. Ryse just got honored as the best looking game of not only this gen but of any generation. It's going to take a lot to knock off Crytek.
 
Well deserved. Game still blows me away graphically when i play it. Especially the latter levels. ( Gladiator arena)

f***ing game was incredible! I honestly thought Microsoft lost that opportunity to make it one of the defining titles for the Xbox brand. Sweet Lawd, I hope Crytek allows MS to buy the IP so this franchise can continue.
 
I'm kind of sad there isn't any plan to make a sequel for Ryse right now. It was a decent game with gorgeous visuals. They just need to improve upon the gameplay and make more varied enemies.

It's still one of my favorite games on the "new" consoles. I bought the Season Pass last month when it was on sale, had fun messing with the multiplayer again.
 
Yeah I'm still really digging this game. Think I've bought most of the dlc for it was as well. It's great to back to for a game or two every now and then.
 
I already played this a few months ago when I borrowed it from a friend of mine, but apparently Microsoft is sending me a free digital download code for the game since I had to have my X1 repaired, so im looking forward to jumping back into it.

All this talk of the game this week has got me playing again this time on Legendary.

Legendary should give you a challenge. I died more playing through on Legendary, than I died on all the other difficulty settings combined. I specifically remember having trouble on a part where you have to throw pilums like a mad man. I also had some trouble with Booduhka on legendary.

Enemies not going red before a heavy attack caught me out several times already.
 
I was really hoping some of the DLC would have be new campaign levels
 
I've been getting back into lately since it's basically a free game. Got up level 300 or so then campaign and collectibles and my level got reset and I can't customize anything anymore. I still have all my level 300 and stuff equipped but just can't change it. So if anyone runs into a level 61 all jacked up looking like he glitched into all the cool stuff I did not and no one can fix it so I got my 60$ back

I would have been pissed too. Part of the fun is unlocking better equipment. Being a level 300, I know you are aware that the cool gear doesn't start hitting til level 130. Could the guy have been using one of the dlc skins? Either way, getting a refund after you had gotten so much out of the game prior to the glitch, is probably the best outcome that could have happened, outside of the glitch never happening.
 
Ryse: Son of Rome was one of the few launch titles for the Xbox One when it released back in November 2013. Nine months down the track and it looks like they have decided to release a legendary edition for it according to a listing by GameMania.

The listing states that the Legendary Edition will include:

We’ve given our team the opportunity to show what CRYENGINE can really achieve, without compromising quality, thanks to the incredible hardware available now to PC gamers. Ryse will be a benchmark PC graphics showcase this year and probably for a long time in future. Our community asked for a Ryse PC version, and we have the means and technology to deliver this title with the highest quality possible.”

Could be a good deal for anyone who hasn't given the game a try yet.
 
You know what. f*** Legendary mode. Not because I'm getting killed but because of the bulls*** 'kill the archers' part about half way through the 'Trial By Fire' level.

My squads moral is gone long before my archers even look like showing up.
