"We've seen the trailers, we've talked to the devs, and now we've gotten the chance to actually play the games, so what do we think of the Xbox One's launch lineup? Find out in Adam Sessler's hands-on impressions"
From underrated Xbox One launch titles to absolute emperors of the strategy genre, history heads will love these games based around Ancient Rome.
Ryse was awesome, i have no idea why it wasnt recieved well and why we havnt seen another, Rome conquered so much, you could take the action anywhere, and it looked great when xbox one came out, now would be even better.
Ryse: Son of Rome was an Xbox One launch title that has been left to collect dust, but Crytek should set aside Crysis and give Ryse another shot.
I really liked the original Ryse but Crytek doesn't have the funds. The mismanaged their properties and let EA raid them with Crysis for the duration of their relationship. Right now they are working on Crysis 4, I doubt they can spare resources to work on a Ryse sequel.
I recently bought it for the steamdeck and have to say... 60fps is a game changer. I really wished MS had gotten a one x patch or series boost mode option but sadly, nope. Other games that definitely deserve a second chance (esp on steamdeck/pc) are quantum break and sunset overdrive. Both deserved 60fps support on one x / series but you have to go to PC for that.
Rumor has it Crytek had plans for a Ryse 2 but due to the low turnout for XB (at the time) it was shelved. They really should give this another shot. i dont care if its multiplat on PS and XB and PC and Switch... just so long as part 2 gets made.
Game was good enough, not great.
Graphically it was top notch. Still holds well till this day.
Xbox Game Pass Quests recently reset for the month of August. So if you try to collect as many Microsoft Rewards points as possible, there's a new set available now.
This is not what I would call value for money spent. They give you quests in liveservice games to get you "re-engaged" with the monetization schemes or to get you hooked or so you at least spend some extra on skins and loot boxes. Then they dole out paltry points after you have already paid extra for whichever liveservice within a liveservice that you are already paying for. My worry is people can't actually be that stupid to fall for this, can they?
Round two will be crazy with Titanfall, Sunset Overdrive, Fable, Quantum Break, Halo 5, Project Spark and Black Tusk etc. Almost too many games in the first 2 years.
I hope Microsoft keeps it up this gen with the good games. They really wavered the last couple years with the 360 in my opinion. Here's hoping
With all the new UI footage that's been released and Microsoft indeed living up to what they said the console was going to be able to do, people are going to be buying these things like crazy, I have no doubt friends seeing my One in action Nov 22nd is going to sell some consoles, true next Gen only 2 weeks and counting boys!
Brought to you by the good(ish) folks at MS. He's actually toned down the hype this video, which is shocking but he's still lying about a few things.
1. He panned 6 axis motion but loves it in DR3
2. He's always bashed Kinect but now he's interested in it.
The guy has no credibility. Oh wait...maybe he changed his mind at another convenient time.
I see why some as so hard on this guy (who has been around forever I might add), he just says it as he sees it. They want some hate and he just isn't feeding none of that.
