Half of it is freakin quick time events and cut scenes, I wouldn't doubt it's a terrible game to play.

It looked boring anyway. They devs did say that those QTEs are optional and you can choose them. Not sure what kind of game it is tho, looked average from the start

I though the gameplay had big issues, for starters I could tell that whoever made the video was very conscious of the camera and knew how to control it when it was important, which prevented us from seeing other issues. The camera controls tight and over the shoulder, which means being aware of surroundings will be difficult, and I can tell the camera is going to be an issue when surrounded.

Such a shame, because this game could have been great. I've always wanted an RPG with huge battles and strategic elements. Imagine starting out as a soldier and ranking up all the way to general, handling different posts and responsibilities in the roman army combined with political intrigues. That would've been great, not this QTE shit.

Shame.

One of the Xbone Exclusives that actually caught my eye, even though it looked like a QTE-fest. But I really don't mind games with QTE, as long as there is other actual gameplay involved.

I can't stand QTE games. I'd rather watch someone play it.Ackad
According to Crytek, the button prompts are part of their combo system and not QTEs.

It looked boring anyway. They devs did say that those QTEs are optional and you can choose them. Not sure what kind of game it is tho, looked average from the startnavyguy21
Sad part is, the QTE looks like the only fun part of RYSE.

Funny how lems bashed GOW for years, now they love a game with 10x more QTE and sht combat. timbers am cry.

Most sites liked it though, it has one of the highest averages ever. Most sites are bashing Ryse from the looks of it. That's the difference. Lems could hype Ryse all they want though, have at it.

It looked atmospheric, but it seems like you will beat it once and be done with it forever. Would be good for a rental, if MS actually let you rent games.

I thought the trailer looked amazing.

Then I saw the "combat."

I've heard it's not actually like that, that the button prompts are to execute different combos, but that just sounds like a loopy way of describing quick-time events.

lol, it's QTE, don't be stupid. What happen if you smash the wrong button? The button prompt so that you have to smash THAT button to continue, that is QTE. Combo system my ass.

Looked boring , played like a clunky brawler with loads of QTEs thrown into it.

It will socre less than A from what I've seen , seriously.Visuals are all it's going for it.

Lems should be hyping Spark , looked incredibly awesome and more fun than LBP, only time will tell and here's hoping for a PS4 port some time down the road.

It's not a Kinect game anymore, atleast basing on what shown on stage. They used controller. Also, QTE with button prompt require controller.
