I’m on the battlefield. I’m stomping through the corpses of my comrades swinging my sword at anything that moves. I begin a combo, I slash twice and then whooom slow motion is initiated, shit is about to get ‘cinematic’. A button prompt hovers elusively above the sword I’m about to drive into the throat of my enemy… argh I’m too slow! The prompt flickers, disappears.

I missed it. Damn.

But then somehow, for some reason, I still complete the cinematic ‘kill’.

What?

Maybe it’s a bug I think, but no. Next time I deliberately press the wrong button. The kill goes ahead, no consequences. Then I try hitting no buttons whatsoever. The kill goes ahead. I put the controller on the table in front of me, the kill goes ahead.

What is going on here?

I ask one of the Crytek people hovering at the booth – is this a bug? Why am I completing kills when I hit the wrong button prompt? Or, worse, no button at all. Turns out it was a deliberate design choice.

“We don’t want the player to feel frustrated,” I am told.

That's right guys, apparently even making a game easier isn't enough for console developers, they now need to remove the ability for the player to fail in any way, even if "winning" only requires the timely pushing of a single button.

Seriously? WTF?!!

Another day, another stupid post by PC MASTER RACE elitist jerks.

Ryse looks basically like heavy rain with Spartans... huh Romans... Push X to brush your teeth and kill.

May as well just watch a movie at that point.

Also, even seeing the QTE events in the E3 demo made my interests for this game drop, I wonder why they even included the button flash rather than just initiating the kill automatically. Is there a demographic of players which long for seeing flashing buttons above heads of enemies while playing games?

Hey bro, don't hate, I can't resist when they keep giving me such good content

I hated mmo world and thought that pc gaming sucks when we don't get those console new stuff but basicly it is now modern warfare stuff anyway so I'm glad that i'm level 22 sith warrior in mmo with PC.. Don't do much, drink beer and play that and avoid work.

Well that and some Symphony of the night. =)

Only actually good new game, well what I liked was Tomb Raider and it wasn't what i thought it was but it was good still.

Perhaps off-topic but I was silent too long!

Wow... I'm never buying another Crytek game again. Ever...

All that pirating of the first Crysis must have really drove them over the edge...

To bad because setting wise Ryse would have been interesting, besides Total War we rarely got Ancient Rome Settings in games.

*sigh* Look, Crytek, if you want to make a movie, just make a damn movie.....OH WAIT! You can't sell a movie for sixty bucks at release, not counting DLCs and all that fun stuff, amirite? It's just one thing after another in this industry, isnt it? -_-

Are you talking about Crysis 3?

No, I'm talking about the QTE nonsense from Ryse in the article up there.

Oh, never heard. =)

Edit: FROM Ryse? how is that Crytek?

Edit2: "read much?" "No, not really, comics"
