To me this game has always been the Force Unleashed for Ancent Rome. Just fun power fantasy. Game is just so epic and cinematic (also its funny to see Romans speaking in British accent while killing Britons).
@@willymack5677 I don't mind when they speak English but for the love of all that is sacred give them the accent of their land. Alot of people hate reading subtitles when watching something, so this way both groups are happy (for the most part).
I really like this game, not every game has to have dark souls level of complex combat especially since this game was made to be a tech showcase for the Xbox one which is why it still looks great 10 years later
Dude I finished the campaign, really enjoyed it. I tried multiplayer, but I either couldn't connect or the servers were empty. Truly the most overlooked game of all time
i remember watching this entire playthrough on TheRadBrad and then i bought it myself i think it was supposed to be the first game for the xbox one and most of the development was to show how cinematic and fluid the new gen console was going to be but the story is insanely good and by that alone its worth playing and yes the combat is not the best but it starts to get so fluid at points you forget about it 10/10 game and i do wish they would make another for the new generation!
It's simple. Crytek using Cryengine to showcase tech development in a way people could play and investor could say "noice" while developers buy licenses to use their engine and make insane amounts of money. Just like the Crysis trilogy.
Vikings would be cool but Valhalla is pretty much that no? I reckon maybe Mongolian or Aztec could be unique and have potential for some new mechanics (e.g. dual wielding curved swords, or using an Aztec death horn, etc.)
Happy to see this game getting some love. Not every game needs to be a grand slam of a spectacle. Sometimes a game just hits right for a few hours and that’s okay too
It would be cool if the sequel had an execution mechanic where, instead of pressing the correct button within the time, you could create your own combos using the buttons corresponding with different body parts. Just go crazy with the dismemberment lol and different combos could give different buffs
How was it misunderstood? This game is the G.O.A.T. of its genre. I replayed its campaign on all of its difficulties and I've never done that with any other game to this day.
I wasn’t a huge fan of how the combat felt in those games but the nemesis system makes any of my criticisms invalid anyway because that system goes so hard
I still remember when they put loot boxes in SoW lol. I got bored after like 5 hours. The story wasn’t really doing it for me. The first game is simple, but better IMO.
Ryse looks better than some games today. Not too many anymore, but like 2 years back, it absolutely did. It was made by Crytek after all. But it's fun to hop onto every few months with a friend on the multiplayer. Don't get me wrong it has its problems, but Ryse's strengths far outshine them.
This game was an absolute banger. I played through every mission with so much passion. The story was awesome and captivating and I was genuinely feeling with Marius. And I'll never forget the chills I felt when you stay behind for your troops to flee. The music, the feels ... My all time favorite game
I played this game to complition and it was fun to play. However me and my Brother would constantly play the Co-Op and those were the funest moments of us playing together it was generally really fun to play.
This was such a good game man the multiplayer is where you can customize/wear other armor. Also just a heads up blunt weapons work very well against armor in history, you basically cave the metal plating inward on the wearer.
Its freaking sad... they could have done SO MUCH MORE with the Mulitplayer. In the current state it almost has nothing to offer but I still come back every now and then because the first 1-2 hours are so much fun.
I love this game! More specifically, I love watching it like a movie from time to time. But if it ever comes to PlayStation, I’d buy and play it. If graphics, acting, and game is functional, I’ll enjoy it. I ended up loving Callisto protocol, love Detroit become human, Asuras Wrath, your game fits with any of these categories, I’m gonna enjoy it. Repetitiveness ain’t gonna stop me :B
Callisto protocol was fun but I just didn't really like all the cinematic crawling and climbing and stuff like going through vents or shimmying other than that it's underrated
I actually liked this game a lot back when it came out and still do now. I don't think it deserved an award or anything but it was fun. It was a nice little game to kind of show off what the xbox could handle back then.
Ryse for Xbox was kinda like the Order 1886 for PlayStation - a graphical showcase above everything else. I played both and they are both really fun, if a bit short and somewhat repetitive
actually caesar is a cognomen, caesar´s family name was julius and his first name was gaius. romans didnt really do last names, they more just had a first name that every family member had, with men for example being called julius and women being called julia. then men would also get their own first name and a cognomen (basically a nickname, like the strong, or the longnosed, or the conquerer to further distinguish them from the other men in their family). women would simply be called julia the first, or julia the older, etc, with them also often taking an edited version of the cognomen of their father or husband depending on the age we´re talking about and their marital status sorry, had to do an autism rant because roman naming conventions are actually pretty interesting
The MP is insanely fun and addictive (where you can wear the Praetorian armor). Get a dedicated partner together and you’re gonna have a dope time. It’s also on Steam Sales for $2 all the time.
Zanny I don’t know if you read comments but if like this game then you have to figure out a way to play Spartan total warrior it’s an older game but it is definitely still worth it. One of if not my favorite video game of all time and 100% deserves a remake
As a launch title to show off thr graphics of the Xbone you cant really expect something deep. Its entertaining and looks good. Apparently Crytek trademark or something for Ryse, so maybe something new might come some day. It would be interesting to have a different historical era, but since its been so long I want to revisit Rome.
yooo this game was awesome
Hey wait a minute.
Fr Boudicca awakened something in me as a kid
When are you guys doing the collab with too zanny?
Loved seeing you play one of my favorite games!
Based?
To me this game has always been the Force Unleashed for Ancent Rome. Just fun power fantasy. Game is just so epic and cinematic (also its funny to see Romans speaking in British accent while killing Britons).
Everyone knows that all historical characters must have British accents otherwise it’s not realistic
@@a.w_. exactly! just look at napoleon... the *frenchman*
I’d rather read subtitles translated from Latin tbh. Wish more games stuck to that sort of thing, like Ghost of Tsushima Japanese dialogue.
@@asherwoodrow7471Notoriously charismatic and young leader: is depicted as an old, British, incel.
Man, that movie was beyond dissapointing.
@@willymack5677 I don't mind when they speak English but for the love of all that is sacred give them the accent of their land. Alot of people hate reading subtitles when watching something, so this way both groups are happy (for the most part).
We need more Rome games, real men can’t stop thinking about it
Warband
@@nobodyxdel2390 warband aut caesar aut nihil
I really like this game, not every game has to have dark souls level of complex combat especially since this game was made to be a tech showcase for the Xbox one which is why it still looks great 10 years later
Still better then order 1886. not sure how people can defend that and say it better then ryse. atleast ryse try to be a video game.
Walking sims has more gameplay than this
@@J0hnHenrySNEEDenhuh?
@@J0hnHenrySNEEDenthey don’t tho😂
Dark Souls combat isn't even that complicated, lol
I love this game. The ending when you fight in the corridor was just epic
cinema 🙌
Dude I finished the campaign, really enjoyed it. I tried multiplayer, but I either couldn't connect or the servers were empty. Truly the most overlooked game of all time
Pretty sure they shut down the servers a while back
no you can stll play the multiplayer there is not just so many players left playing multiplayer@@The.Usurper
i had the pleasure a few times and from what i remember it was you adn one other player against hordes and you could do co op executions?? i think?
Zanny: the game isn’t super historically accurate
The game: Boudica invading Rome itself with war elephants
Is this game romancible?
Booooo, get off the stage!!!
*throws a squishy tomato*
Is your dog romancible
This game is Roman.
@@animegaming4057*eats the Tomato*
No. We can see it.
i remember watching this entire playthrough on TheRadBrad and then i bought it myself i think it was supposed to be the first game for the xbox one and most of the development was to show how cinematic and fluid the new gen console was going to be but the story is insanely good and by that alone its worth playing and yes the combat is not the best but it starts to get so fluid at points you forget about it 10/10 game and i do wish they would make another for the new generation!
Zanny: I wish there was dismemberment
5 seconds earlier: cuts a guys hand off
For heads he meant
@@sgm7650during normal gameplay and not on finishers, he means.
Still can't comprehend, that this game is going to be 10 years old and still looks so fucking good
Edit: it turned 10 years old on 22nd of November
It's simple.
Crytek using Cryengine to showcase tech development in a way people could play and investor could say "noice" while developers buy licenses to use their engine and make insane amounts of money.
Just like the Crysis trilogy.
It’s crazy how people are going back and discovering this game again. It’s a great little underrated Xbox Classic
there should be a Ryse 2, maybe a different time period this time
There was a rumor or something idk if Crytek confirmed it but there's some leaks out there that confirms Ryse 2 alongside Crysis 4
yesss, imagine a game like this but with vikings or something like that, that would be so sick
I thought crytek is only focusing on live service games like hunt:showdown.@@dantefromdevilmaycry9857
Vikings would be cool but Valhalla is pretty much that no? I reckon maybe Mongolian or Aztec could be unique and have potential for some new mechanics (e.g. dual wielding curved swords, or using an Aztec death horn, etc.)
i would love that
Wife: “He’s probably thinking about the other girls.”
Zanny’s thoughts: “I think about Rome, earnings that 2,000,000 EXP!”
😂😂😂
Me and my friend took shrooms an completed the entire arena stages co-op ludicrously cinematic and very fun experience
Can't recommend the game enough for genuine simple gory fun for hours
I love this game and was sad when me and my friend couldn’t play the multiplayer together, still a good game!
Happy to see this game getting some love. Not every game needs to be a grand slam of a spectacle. Sometimes a game just hits right for a few hours and that’s okay too
It would be cool if the sequel had an execution mechanic where, instead of pressing the correct button within the time, you could create your own combos using the buttons corresponding with different body parts. Just go crazy with the dismemberment lol and different combos could give different buffs
my father worked on the animation for this game. doing an internship back then during development was a teenage dream come true hahaha
Yooooo the enemy at 3:51 with the metal nipple pasties lolol
I remember I played this game so much I had all of the qte executions memorized and I used to have so much fun playing it
Out of every game I don't think I would never see him play it
No way Zanny is playing this gem from my childhood. W Zanny
Ah three zanny. Makarov’s sixth in command
If I could just play this game on my ps5 maybe I wouldn’t be constantly thinking of the Roman Empire
Ah, so this is Zanny’s Roman Empire.
1:45 we got the Lorica Segmentata. We got the cool armour
How was it misunderstood? This game is the G.O.A.T. of its genre. I replayed its campaign on all of its difficulties and I've never done that with any other game to this day.
Day 113 of asking Zanny to do an uncharted series:
How mad are you that he won't play pony tomb raider clone but will go back and play old Xbox exclusive. Do you understand now Boy🤣
If you want decapitations and good melee combat Middle earth Shadow of war bangs
I wasn’t a huge fan of how the combat felt in those games but the nemesis system makes any of my criticisms invalid anyway because that system goes so hard
I still remember when they put loot boxes in SoW lol. I got bored after like 5 hours. The story wasn’t really doing it for me. The first game is simple, but better IMO.
Marius of the House Zannius
ROMAN IS HAPPY TO RETURN TO THIS CHANNEL
I remember there being like a gladiator mission in this game where your character dresses up as Daedalus from mythology.
The shield wall mission was my favourite
I occaisonally play the Gladiator mode to this day, I find it very unique, grandiose and fun, you eventually turn into a Roman Doom Slayer
This was 10 YEARS AGO?! I feel so damn old 👵
I believe that was Apollo's sistor or the Roman goddess of agriculture.
Ryse looks better than some games today. Not too many anymore, but like 2 years back, it absolutely did. It was made by Crytek after all. But it's fun to hop onto every few months with a friend on the multiplayer. Don't get me wrong it has its problems, but Ryse's strengths far outshine them.
I used to play this so much, I wouldn’t be surprised if I was on that multiplayer leaderboard
i like how zanny warns you about the spoiler after you have been spoiled
I have so many hours on this game, never in my life did i think id see Zanny playing such peak cinema.
Yeti doing gods work over here 😂
This was the first game I played on the Xbox one at my friends house and it was so clearly the future of gaming to me even at such a young age.
This game was an absolute banger. I played through every mission with so much passion. The story was awesome and captivating and I was genuinely feeling with Marius.
And I'll never forget the chills I felt when you stay behind for your troops to flee. The music, the feels ...
My all time favorite game
As and Italian i confirm this Is how Rome looks like, i allways use a gladio agaist my dad
Romans lore before he met peace keeper
I played this game to complition and it was fun to play. However me and my Brother would constantly play the Co-Op and those were the funest moments of us playing together it was generally really fun to play.
It looks better, flows better than most games these days.
10:08 FATHER!!!
*crunches some snacks
W game for sure. When you can fire the volley of arrows you could use your Kinect and yell “FIRE”. A masterpiece
Roman has a little comeback. Good that he is doing great
now i wanna see him play dante's inferno
This was such a good game man the multiplayer is where you can customize/wear other armor. Also just a heads up blunt weapons work very well against armor in history, you basically cave the metal plating inward on the wearer.
in rome they called that goddess minerva
Its freaking sad... they could have done SO MUCH MORE with the Mulitplayer.
In the current state it almost has nothing to offer but I still come back every now and then because the first 1-2 hours are so much fun.
I played this on game pass a bit ago and it was decently fun. Really flashy and cinematic
This game was the biggest surprise for me, how good it was, at least the campaign.
Ah, so this is Roman’s origin story
I wonder when peacekeeper comes in
Massively underrated game! Great video btw
I'm an Athena simp. Also called Minerva in the Roman pantheon.
I love this game! More specifically, I love watching it like a movie from time to time. But if it ever comes to PlayStation, I’d buy and play it. If graphics, acting, and game is functional, I’ll enjoy it. I ended up loving Callisto protocol, love Detroit become human, Asuras Wrath, your game fits with any of these categories, I’m gonna enjoy it. Repetitiveness ain’t gonna stop me :B
I always saw this in my dads xbox game case, i always saw ut on gamepass was always curious about it
Callisto protocol was fun but I just didn't really like all the cinematic crawling and climbing and stuff like going through vents or shimmying other than that it's underrated
Ryse is on PC, so you can play there if you have one
Yo my man straight up passed the beach level ):
Glad to see and hear that Zanny has heard of Ryse Son Of Rome and has played it before, E for the algorithm!
I actually liked this game a lot back when it came out and still do now. I don't think it deserved an award or anything but it was fun. It was a nice little game to kind of show off what the xbox could handle back then.
Unironically, one of my favourite games
This makes me think about the roman empire every day
This looks amazing for 2013, I'm blown away
Ryse for Xbox was kinda like the Order 1886 for PlayStation - a graphical showcase above everything else. I played both and they are both really fun, if a bit short and somewhat repetitive
Any game that lets you execute multiple enemies is a good game.
It is wild that the game was a launching title for the Xbox one and still looks like it could release today
Zanny should play lethal company with the gang, it would be hilarious
Always wanted this game
actually caesar is a cognomen, caesar´s family name was julius and his first name was gaius. romans didnt really do last names, they more just had a first name that every family member had, with men for example being called julius and women being called julia. then men would also get their own first name and a cognomen (basically a nickname, like the strong, or the longnosed, or the conquerer to further distinguish them from the other men in their family). women would simply be called julia the first, or julia the older, etc, with them also often taking an edited version of the cognomen of their father or husband depending on the age we´re talking about and their marital status
sorry, had to do an autism rant because roman naming conventions are actually pretty interesting
Imagine Nero just dodge-rolls in that ending cutscene
Playing the coliseum mode with my brother is so good
Wait a second, Boadicea riding an elephant?
Boadicea attacking Rome?
This was the first game I got when I got my Xbox 1
That's because it was a release title for xbox one
This game is truly a gem 💎
Can’t believe I’m seeing you playing it!
RYSE son of Rome is truly incredible.
Multiplayer in the colosseum is so fun
This game was so fun, I'm so glad I found out about it, now watching Zanny play it does put a smile on my face
Played this myself and sad it doesnt have more players. Nice you played it
Underrated game. Enjoyed the story and the gameplay.
Did Roman armour look this swagged out in real life?
This game was one of the first Xbox One games.
The MP is insanely fun and addictive (where you can wear the Praetorian armor). Get a dedicated partner together and you’re gonna have a dope time.
It’s also on Steam Sales for $2 all the time.
Zanny I don’t know if you read comments but if like this game then you have to figure out a way to play Spartan total warrior it’s an older game but it is definitely still worth it. One of if not my favorite video game of all time and 100% deserves a remake
Ryse 2 could be set in the republic age and the main Villain could be Hannibal.
Yes! I've always loved this game and never understood the initial hate
This was the first game I played on my friend's console as I didn't own a console only pc
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
As a launch title to show off thr graphics of the Xbone you cant really expect something deep. Its entertaining and looks good.
Apparently Crytek trademark or something for Ryse, so maybe something new might come some day. It would be interesting to have a different historical era, but since its been so long I want to revisit Rome.
Imagine if that one guy hadn't told zanny the button for executions
10:23 “Canon event”
I loved this game tbh, very first Xbone game I played and it feeling like you're playing a quasi 300 was amazing
my uncle worked on the art for this game
One of my favorite games ever wish it was longer and the multiplayer lasted
Bro this game actually still looks really good. Those graphics have aged so well wtf
I played this when it first came out and thought it was dope
I liked the video before viewing it because of the title. It was my first game on Xbox One and it blew me away.
If Assassin's Creed Odyssey had Ryse Graphics.
The combat is better than AC Mirage so that’s a bonus
Absolutely loved this game.
