Ryse Son of Rome

It's a fun game and I would welcome a follow up but it definitely needs more variety in the combat and more than 4 enemies.

Realistically, what could you do? This isn't meant to be a fantasy game where monsters and combos are prevalent. It's meant to be much more contemporary overall as a action game. If they were to make another game, I'd prefer they put more focus on defense.

Pole-arms immediately come to mind. So do bows. Putting more emphasis on spacing could change up a lot. I agree that the defense could be tweaked. Especially when there are multiple attacks at the same time.
 
Have we heard anything about Ryse 2 yet? I'd kill for a sequel. The first game did what it set out to do; showcase the hardware. I think Crytek can do so much more with this franchise.

Only some rumors that it's set in medieval times instead of Rome. That also might open up the selection of weaponry a bit if true. I liked the game....defo not worth $60 but a solid buy at $30. Some more variety in combat (if medieval times maybe have mounts, etc. with full combat while mounted). Hoping Ryse comes to GWG soon so I can play some multiplayer and maybe play through the campaign again if I get the itch.
 
They should add guns!

Hope that rumor is true about the setting.
 
If you always wondered what it was like to play Ryse but was too afraid to touch, Ryse: Legendary Edition is on sale on Xbox Live for $12.00 / $9.90 with GOLD. Its a great SP experience, and the CO-OP MP is not too shabby either.

TIP: Seasoned centurions should turn the difficulty all the way to Legendary if you want the best experience.

Dang! That's a great price, definitely worth a playthrough at $10

Bought! Thank you! I have never played it. I wonder if it still stands up as the best graphics on console after 3 years?

Can this be played with a controller or is it a Kinect game? Do not remember, I just remember hearing it had great graphics.

Controller. There are some kinect vocal commands at a few points.

I would suggest NOT playing on easy or normal. It's very boring without the threat of death. It's really mindless if you just shrug off attacks. Getting big streaks and not getting hit is where the fun is. I love the quick time lite finishers.

Starting playing this over the week (on Act 2 now). I have to agree, this game is a looker. Based on what I have seen so far, it could still be the best looking game on console to date. But the game over all is kinda shallow. The cut scenes are good and all, but the game play isn't all that great. It's mediocre at best. I have found that X+Y+X+Y is a sure fire way to win against them all. Even my first "boss" never got a hit in on me, and I just hit XYXYXYXYXYX over and over and he was down. I know it's early, but the game is decent but nothing to write home about.

while some are true but keep in mind that it was a launch title. The online part is awesome.

Don't play that game on normal- it's boring. You need to play on the higher difficulties. I find the game can be a blast if you mix things up yourself.

Is she a former "The Biggest Loser" contestant? She has that look about her, and it would explain the bandages.
In all the years I have seen her go down on everyone but me, she was never fat. But I am a bit biased. :)
 
What is this thread even about anymore. Oh, a cute blonde. Yeah, Ryse and sex would sell for sure. Come on Microsoft. Make Ryse 2 happen and put a sex mini game in, you can bang a hot viking girl. It worked for God of War.
 
Game is good but hot damn do I suck and I am playing it on easy :(
