This thread really is all over the place, Judaslscariot, T where are you?

You just told me to go somewhere else to be offended and yet you are offended. Why should I have to go somewhere else to be offended while you get to stay here and be offended? Sounds like someone has their own issues with entitlement. :D
Don't worry. That last post of mine right there is my last on this topic. Hopefully if I ignore my new friend he will leave me alone. I'll be around here somewhere if someone wants to talk about games. Or baseball. Or the Stanley Cup Finals.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS LOW RATED FOR!?!?!?!

I don't hate Ryse, I'll just skip it.

But still, I am wondering at whom is Ryse aimed? Some untapped non-gaming market who are yearning for games with as little gameplay as possible? Did they make some real market-research and knew there is a big need for a game like this, or are they just hoping to find a new untapped market?

I would have thought that the people who would be interested in the bloody action of Ryse, would already be gamers. To me the game seems to be made for a market that doesn't exist, unless there are lots of gamers out there who keep wishing that their games were easier and less interactive. Maybe there are, I just have problems understanding how.

I think the new gamers and non-gamers trying out games are the moms and pops, and their young kids, playing casual tablet games. Most of them probably wouldn't pick something like Ryse, they'd get Bejeweled 9.

That said, in my young days I used to like Space Ace and Creature Shock, which were considered flashy and dumbed down (QTE) games back then. But I feel they were still different from Ryse because:

- No other game looked as good as them at the time. (I'd say other games of today do look as good as Ryse, and still are more interactive and more challenging.)

- Both games still offered real challenge, even if they were very linear as games, and concentrated on testing your reflexes and memorization.

But naturally time will tell, maybe Ryse 1-5 will all sell like hotcakes, and others start making similar games.

Oh that's good. Low rate all of my post and don't touch a thing from Mr. Congeniality. That's cute. Nice to know people are encouraged to express themselves in here.

This forum needs an enema.

I wonder if this is all a misunderstanding; perhaps Ryse's combat is auto-success on the lowest difficulty only, and this was what they demoed on the show floor for convenience because every player wants to see the cool kill moves in the very brief time they have to try the game?

I don't think you know what hate is. Disliking the direction of gaming, or criticizing the direction of gaming is not hate.

Repost that once someone tries to burn down a dev studio or something. Actually don't. What one person does shouldn't reflect on everyone else. So, repost it once the majority of gamers are rioting on the streets because of the direction of gaming.





Anyway, I don't see the big deal with this. Looks perfect for the telev- I mean Xbox One audience. They can just sit there and watch.

I am surprised no one did that after they the first saw The Phantom Menace :P

What a useless thread...

As for the future of gaming I'm not really worried, I'll be able to find old classics and the "different enough" that I'll be able to enjoy them without resorting to e-sports or QTE fest.

The only E-Sport I would get into is fighting games like Street Fighte.

/facepalm

It's really hard to take you seriously when u insult one of the best games on the catalogue here and also point and click adventures.

I LOVE Planescape but then I LOVE Postal 2. Maybe Elanarie has a point. :P

I haven't finished reading the thread, but this goes way back. Don't forget that cinematic arcade game with the stupid knight I think his name was Dirk, Dragon's Lair. With that game you pushed the button or the controller at the right time. I never understood what the draw of that game was.

I own shovalware 2. seems that I always should play that game
