Ryse seems to be like The Order 1886, a very interesting idea with nice visuals and concepts but ultimately falls short for having a subpar execution in the gameplay department, but a decent time altogether. Another one of my favorite subpar games of all time Darkest of Days, very interesting concept but troubled with development problems that influenced the state of the final product.
I remember when I saw an ad on TV for that game, man did I want to play it. Money and Age was a barrier, and never got around to it. This video might actually have convinced me to pick it up and with the right expectation for it. So thank you :D
Back in 2016 I was grinding to get the “get to level 200 in multiplayer” achievement. However when I was around level 110 I cancelled “syncing data” and I lost all my progress, so I just quit. It just so happened that a few days ago I was thinking of coming back to the game
This game was inspired by the Starz T.V. show, Spartacus, for anyone interested. Highly, highly recommend. The T.V. show even had its only video game on the PS3/360, Spartacus Legends, but the servers got shut down :(
As a History buff, Ryse is honestly one of the funniest and most historically inaccurate things I’ve ever seen associated with Rome. We have Nero in the middle of a Britonnic siege when he’s an old man, with Vespasian’s amphitheatre (the colosseum) standing during his reign, Boudicca being around a century before she was alive attacking Rome with an elephant to avenge her father (not her daughters), Commodus being Nero’s son and agents of the Emperor being dressed like Persian kings. And that’s just all the major things off the top of my head, not even getting into the nitty details like the wrong swords and armour. Like there’s so much wrong with this game from that perspective that you just cannot help but laugh. 🤣 As a game though, I found it got very boring. The combat is fun for a while but the poor level design and repetitive mission objectives quirky turns the game into a slog and chore that just isn’t fun to play, it was one of the most grindy feeling experiences outside a live service game that I can remember. You can absolutely have fun with the other game modes for a while outside the campaign, but you have to struggle and push yourself to want to play this game for long, it’s not one that endears itself to you easily. The game’s biggest selling point, as one of the first Xbox One exclusives, is that it looks pretty. And to be fair, it is still stunning even today, particularly the shots and buildings of Rome, it is still an impressive looking game, you have to give it that. But that really doesn’t count for much. I consider this game something of a spiritual prototype for what Space Marine II would accomplish. There’s an idea and fantasy of being an unstoppable badass warrior with a third person perspective of this absolute tank of a person, but I don’t think Ryse accomplished its vision very well. So while there are some things about it to give credit for, it’s absolutely not a game that had any kind of long term impact on the industry or culture of gaming beyond the superficial elements.
Thanks for this, excellent reading on top of this excellent video. Is there an action game that does a good job of being accurate to roman history? I know very little, but it would be nice to play something that's historically accurate
@@interwebs_ If you like strategy games and have a PC, try total war rome 2, with the DEI mod. If you don't have the best computer, there is "europa barbarorum 2" mod for total war medieval 2 An older game but the makers are very painstaking in their detail for accuracy. Assassins creed origins isn't very accurate, but it has a lot of historical info in it's museum mode. And it's fun just to explore Ptolemaic egypt.
I loved this game when I was a child, I honestly remembered the story to be total different. (It could also be because I didn’t knew enough English 😂😂)
thank you for the upload. I loved this game. The survival mode was really fun for me when it came out. Being 15 at the time of its release it was a nice time sink. Anyways, you should go back to making red dead videos.
I liked Ryse when I played it a couple of years after its release. The graphics and story were pretty good, but I dislike the linear platform type of gameplay and the quicktime events. I think a sequel based in more an open world where you can work your way up in the ranks and take place in historic battles would be far more interesting.
Tho I disagree and I find it quiet fun and you missed certain plot points like how she got Elephants told by Vitallian interesting video will you cover more Mystery videos in future Fizhy ?
I do enjoy being an Ancient Roman in Ancient Roman times with my Ancient Roman sword
Real
Real
I loved it when it came out buy it fell short at the online side of things.
with Ancient Roman armour and Ancient Roman enemies
Game needs a remaster or pt2 it a classic
I love this game😭 unironically amazing
Why would anyone think you are being ironic?
I didn't know this game existed but I'm happy you brought it to my attention
It’s worth it for the price it goes for these days I reckon
Thank you. I was just debating playing this since it’s on gamepass!
On gamepass it's 1000% worth it.
this game was surprisingly enjoyable
Love this game so much, still play it today, plus, its a vid from you, two w’s
It's a rather blatantly flawed title but I still have a real fondness for it.
@@Fizhy Yeah, but, its one of the first games i played in general, so i have a lot of memories with it

Gamers, and I mean this in the most elated way possible, Ryse up!

Nah this game was fire idc how buggy it is 😂😭
It isn't hugely buggy tbf

Ah yes, no day goes by without ancient Rome being remembered 😅
Multiplayer is still fun af and the graphics still hold on tbh, the soundtrack is phenomenal
‘Ahh the greatest game of all time’
You should do the story of Bulletstorm I have been recently playing through it & the game & story seems pretty fleshed out & interesting
I remember seeing this game be announced but was sad cause i played on PS at the time and couldnt play it
Would love to see your take on the order 1886 now

@@interwebs_Try Expeditions: Rome. It's fun and educational
Oh yeah this game is a mess historically but it’s beautiful and I love the setting
Roman inspired games aren't my fancy, but I'll watch anything Fizhy uploads to support him and his channel
I loved this game when I was a child, I honestly remembered the story to be total different. (It could also be because I didn’t knew enough English 😂😂)
2013!? God this game still looks amazing!

Anyways, you should go back to making red dead videos.
One of my favourite games of all time. Underrated. Hope Xbox/Crytek make a 2nd ond day
The gameplay was fun.
And the story makes more sense than Gladiator 2.
Plus the multiplayer was more enjoyable than that god of war prequel.
This game was great for me, the fighting is fun and it looks cool
I remember being somewhat into the gladiator mode for a time for some reason, couldn't get through the story tho
Sounds like a skill issue.
The quick time animations I could have sworn had an effect.
If you hit the wrong button yo didn’t recover what you were trying to recover.
I got it for like 12 bucks years ago and i played it through in a night, then my xbox got destroyed and I thought it was a fever dream until this vid.
Truly the ghost of Tsushima of Rome
Despite the jank & the liberties with history this was a fun little game. It was actually one of the first games I got for the Xbox One.
I liked it
Yes it was shallow
But it wasn’t meant to be an open game
It’s a classic slasher with a story and beautiful visuals

Well looks like I have to download RYSE again.
4:30 ah yes I see they landed in modern day blackpool
Tho I disagree and I find it quiet fun and you missed certain plot points like how she got Elephants told by Vitallian interesting video will you cover more Mystery videos in future Fizhy ?
For sure
This game is the xbox equivalent to The Order 1886 even though I found their story to be much more interesting
I loved both games, it sucks order 1886 will probably never get a pc port
@@hollowinside1962 yeah I'm sure the game is way beyond dead unless someone finally sees it's potential and revives it. Fingers crossed

Nothing makes me feel older than remembering the hype for this game and how long ago that was. 🫠

It's on PC...
