On Nov. 22, Microsoft's Xbox One will hit shelves. As a home entertainment system, Microsoft's newest console does a lot more than run video games, but the Xbox One's long-term success will depend in large part on the strength of its games.What exclusives will you be able to play right away on the XboxOne? Let’s have a look. Welcome to the Official Xbox One Launch Exclusives Hype Thread! Crytek’s breathtaking new action-adventure game, Ryse: Son of Rome, was revealed to audiences at the E3 games expo in Los Angeles this year. Become Legendary. Experience a cinematic adventure that leads you deep into the dramatic world of the Roman Empire.Here's a completely unnecessary picture for you... The brutality and intensity of Roman warfare are brought to life in visceral detail, thrusting the player into the chaos of close-quarters combat. See and feel the emotion on your opponent's face! Players have to master sophisticated sword and shield combat techniques to vary attacks and manage multiple enemies, and then finish foes with one of over a hundred brutal final executions. ...something to do with the Olive Garden...Ryse tells the story of a young Roman soldier named Marius who witnesses the murder of his family at the hands of barbarian bandits, then travels with the Roman army to Britannia to seek revenge. Quickly rising through the ranks, Marius leads the Roman army against the barbarian horde and then discovers that he must return to Rome to find his vengeance. Ryse: Son of Rome presents a cinematic recreation of the Roman Empire in breathtaking detail, from the northern reaches of Britannia, to the Coliseum and the very heart of Rome itself. Stunning visuals bring every aspect of the Empire to life: Incredibly detailed facial animations add character to the people you encounter, and new CryENGINE features allow for a world unlike anything you've seen on console before. Witness the power of CryENGINE 3 in full flow on Xbox One. New features like Crytek’s Virtual Camera hardware provide more directorial power than ever before, meaning developers can make lighting, environment and effects changes on the spot to create a more immersive game world. Meanwhile, advanced Vertex Animation combines with numerous other new features to set new standards for facial animation and realism. At every turn, CryENGINE’s power is put to work not just to change what you see on-screen, but how you connect to the action too. Hey, we're going to check out the Tuesday deals at Olive Garden after work. You in?The power of Xbox One enables realistic characters with incredibly detailed facial animations and expressions.Marius.You did not just say Olive Garden!The hero of Ryse: Son of Rome, Marius is a young soldier with a strong sense of duty who is completely dedicated to Rome and her ideals. Initially eager to fight against Rome’s enemies and expand the Empire, he soon realizes that Rome is vulnerable to an even more insidious threat than the barbarians he faces on the battlefield. Ever loyal to Rome, he resolves to rid the Empire of her true enemies.Vitallion.Tonight we dine at the Olive Garden! A wise and charismatic general who has served Rome for decades, Vitallion has fought in many campaigns and serves as a mentor to Marius. As events transpire he begins to wonder if duty has its limits, and whether self-restraint is always the correct course of action.Nero.Unlimited Breadsticks for everyone!Nero, Emperor of Rome, struggles to maintain his grip on power. He promotes his two sons Commodus and Basillius to powerful positions, letting them take control of the rebellious province of Britannia. Nero feels threatened by all potential rivals and exacts ruthless retribution against anyone who crosses him.Commodus and Basillius.And you say we get to choose our own dipping sauce?As governor of Britannia, Nero’s eldest son, Commodus, sees himself as a god, and the people of Britannia as his subjects. His reign is characterized by brutal repression. Nero’s youngest son, Basillius, enjoys anything carnal or cruel.This is the actual commodus, by the way. At the Colosseum he delights in watching gladiators kill each other, and lords over the terrified slaves he keeps in his harem in the bowels of the structure. (No actual pictures of Basillius exist on the web)Boudica.So, they actually starved themselves that entire day just to be prepared for Olive Garden, but then...'The daughter of King Oswald, the ruler of the Britons. Strong and resilient, Boudica hates Rome, and with good reason: under Roman rule, her people are made to suffer horribly. When her father faces horrific retribution from a perceived insult, it galvanizes Boudica and she rallies her people to rise against their oppressors. Boudica is a principled woman and has the will to go to the ends of the world to save her people.Oswald.The Barbarians found out about the Bread Sticks!Benevolent king of the Britons. He leads a rebellion against the tyrannical rule of Rome, but when the Romans brutally repress the rebels, Oswald submits to Roman dominance in hopes this will spare his people. His naivety leaves him vulnerable to the Romans.Glott.Cease all the Marinara sauce! Let them feast on dry Bread Sticks!Enigmatic leader of the Northern barbarians, rumored to be more beast than man. Very little is known about him except that he is fiercely independent and will make war on both the Romans and Oswald’s tribe.The Spirit Gods'Hope the constipation was worth it! See what you get?Immortal spirit, one who watches over humanity, guides Marius. She appears in mortal form, but radiates an otherworldly aura. Another (known in mortal form as Aquilo) seeks the destruction of Rome and allies himself with her enemies. We're going to get all our Marinara sauce back. I have a plan... Command and fight with Kinect for Xbox One. Optional voice commands allow players to direct attacks and encourage their troops, while motivational cries can turn the tide of a mass battle by rallying troops or focusing attacks.

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of your raging fanboyish insecurity. Maybe you should finish puberty, and try the internet again when your hormones are a little more under control.

Honest advice. Take it or leave it.
