I don't understand some of the people who hate Ryse purely because it's on Xbox One.
I do understand how some people can hate the multiplayer with the either "Play a lot" or "Pay to save time" aspect of it, but the campaign which I would mostly only play, reminds me so much of a good hack and slash. I love hack and slash games. I can't say that it's fully say Pay to save time, I've only watched campaign gameplay and every now and then a stream of the multiplayer. I still think it looks great either way.
