Crysis-Thoughts?

[elkaebee]

After several month of Crysis, I was wondering what other people thought of Crysis.
No fanboy stuff, please. Unless it's warrented.

My thoughts?
Great game, pushing PC gaming into the "next-gen"

I will definitely be replaying it in a year or two with new hardware to experience it with close to 60fps

My thoughts?
Take Far Cry, replace mercs with koreans, replace mutants with aliens, replace shitty story with a less shitty story, and then you got Crysis.

Gameplay-wise it's nothing groundbreaking or special, everything Crysis does gameplay-wise has been in one form or another done before.

The only thing I found impressive about Crysis was the technological part of the game, the graphics in particular..

The physics engine weren't all that impressive in my eyes.

Nice engine. Story was average. Gameplay was alright, but FAR too easy. Regenerating health + instant stealth ftl.

 

[Gargantou]

Eejit, aye, I played the game on hardest difficulty, I died 5 times or so in my entire playthrough, 3 of those deaths were with the final boss.

Yes well, the thing is I enjoyed Far Cry a lot more. I've played through it a dozen times. But with Crysis, I don't know, it just felt tedious, the nano suit functionality was clunky and overall I just wasn't having fun... Played through it from start to finish once since I got the game and I don't feel the slightest urge to play through it again...

And you guys that say it was too easy are nuts. I died over a dozen times in the last boss fight alone, and I was playing on normal difficulty :frown:. Plus all the weapons felt weak. never bothered to use the silencer on any of the weapons, it was like shooting them with rubber pellets :|. So yeah.. very fun experience... :|

 

[Eejit]

You can unstealth, headshot, restealth in about a second and a half. It's too easy.
I used the silencer 100% of the time on any weapon I could attach one to.

At least, it's one of the solid FPS game out there.

 

[Krynn72]

Very meh. Considering the list of games that came out in 2007, its pretty unremarkable.

 

[TheDude]

I loved the game. Played though on hard diffiuluty and medium setting was one of the best FPS experiences of recent memory. Were I a reviewer, I would give Crysis 5 brown starfish/ 5 brown starfish period

 

[Gargantou]

Good thing you aren't a reviewer.

 

[TheDude]

Good thin you aren't a reviewer.

Wheat thin period

Amazing engine, amazing graphics, the editor is amazing too.

As a game it was fun, but more could have been done. It seemed to me that they should have made abilities slightly less powerful, but scaled them down a little, making it so you always have 1 ability on, but not all of them. Also the running/aiming is slightly clunky, feels inaccurate and delayed & it's very obvious when you try to play multiplayer.

 

[morgs]

I don't think it was worth the hype tbh. people played it, then moved on. I never hear about crysis anymore, I hear about Half Life a lot more.

While the game had cool features and nice graphics, the gameplay was just run and shoot with a mediocre storyline.

that's just my opinion anyway.

 

[Ridge]

Great graphics, if you can run them...I preferred fighting Koreans to fighting Aliens...dunno, just always saw the robots from The Matrix when I fought them...game was rather short, and the ending was quite cliche...but....

I think it was quite good. Both the graphics and AI were spectacular, and the gameplay, though most things in it have been done better by other games, being picked up by an alien walker shows that Crysis is the first game in an era of redefined interactivity with ones environment(whatever that means).

My main critism is that Crytek never took out anything that looked cool to help the player expirience. Take the chopper battle. No matter where one goes, the chopper will always know where the player is, and proceed to bomb the crap out of that area. Big building explosions ensure. You can completely lose the chopper, hide in a house, not come out of it, and one minute later, without you making so much as a move, the house, and by extension, you, would be utterly destroyed.

And the alien levels speak for themselves.

 

[Vigilante]

I really enjoyed Crysis.

 

[Wanted Bob]

Its openness was a nice change, and the AI certainly helped making each experience different. The gameplay wasnt revolutionary, but I never expected it to be in the first place.

What made it special to me was the attention to detail that was put in. Graphics and physics are very awesome in themselves, but things like ambient life, the possibility to use almost anything as a weapon (frying pan ftw) and even the killer shark show how much care was put into the game.

While I dont think it is GOTY (way too many other phenominal games), it is a very good game and should at least be tried by everyone who can run it (optimization sucks )
