New Crysis 2 story trailer up on IGN, What do you guys think?

Honestly pc gamers seem to be upset with this game, but it looks like it will be fun and interesting. Im really hoping the capaign isnt an after-thought like in CoD. I love MP but there is nothing like a good story.

Crysis series is more about campaign then multiplayer, I wouldn't be worried about it being mostly multiplayer bud.

I understand that was true with the first game, and I really enjoyed it.

But after the 360 demo being multiplayer exclusively and the way the MP has been styled in a very similar way to CoD, I wonder if they are trying to steal over the market by making their game with a MP focus in mind. It works for CoD so it would only be common sense for other companies to follow suit.

I really hope this isn't the case, but I have my concerns.

Let's be honest. We just want to see the pretty graphics. Crysis had multiplayer?

wUUHHH spoliers! I'm trying hard not to spoil this for myself, even this is like.. whaaa!? infections? whats going on!! I dont want to know anything till i play it... daaamn why is it so hard to have a media blackout these days :Plucfonzy

This trailer is badass.

We don't need a trailer :P Lot of people played the beta and say that the story sucks.GeneralShowzer

You mean the leaked beta? The un-finished one with missing animations and voices? Glitches galore? The one that is extremely old?

You really don't know how many scenes from the beta may just have been place holders while they refined and optimized. I dont expect a story to be on par with Inception, i just expect something interesting, heroic and filled with fun levels.

Anyone who is lookign for a AAA story in a crysis game needs to find another game to play bud.

It has great gameplay, amazing sound, great graphics, awesome controls and godo atmosphere. Story isnt something it sets out to do.

Sure I need a good story in an rpg but for FPS its not as important to me if everything else in the game is top notch.

As long as the campaign in crysis2 is fun and as good as the first one then Ill be happy. Spent over 150 hours on Crysis campaign, had differnt experiences each time I played it.

Alot of people also played the beta and were blown away by the campaign and preordered the game right after. Thats from a workprint/beta version also, not the full version.

There are actually alot of people who didnt like Crysis 1 an dwho were not going to buy Crysis2, until beign blown away by a unfinished beta version.

So see it can go both ways in the whole "People played the beta and said story sucks" type thing.

Well...duh?!

I mean, is not like Crysis or Warhead had a great story or anything...and i dont think the guys who played original Crysis loved/liked it because of the story...

i don't like the story.. im just into the multiplayer

Well I hope the story is good.All I need is for the story to doesn't get in the way of the gameplay, like people say it happened with Flopzone.

Hahaha

And the story in Crysis wasn't bad. It just wasn't memorable. But it had Psycho and Prophet who were both memorable badasses.

Crysis 2's campaign is said to be 12-16 hours.

Story may suck, but if they have a good backstory I'm pleased. I love it when a game features a coherent and intelligent background, like HL2 or Dead Space.

Re: Two Worlds 2 - the story sucks but the quests... OMG. They're so hilarious and twisted, it's like Evil Dead: The Game.

OOOOOOOOOOOOORAHHHHHH!

Me to, I was on the fence about this game since i heard its out of hte jungle, but the gameplay videos of the campaign ive seen and that trailer, oh man I cant wait :D

What quests are you talking about? So far I'm just skipping the dialogue in most quests. Gets in the way of my looting. The whole part with the prostitute and the crime lord was....pretty well done actually. I was surprised.GeneralShowzer

The Fluffy quest from the Mages Guild, or making candles out of beavers, removing dead guards that refused to abandon their watch, pretending I'm someone's dead mom, killing ostriches that trapped an allergic family in their house. Stuff like that.

The dialogue is occasionally self-aware and funny.

tbh I was unsure how I felt about the horror aspect, but I think its going to be good. Scifi-horror is my favorite genre, too. Kinda reminds me of mixing Cloverfield and Predator together lol

I wonder what they meant by "rightfully theirs", in refering to the aliens claiming (or reclaiming? hmmm...) the world.

campaign is said to be 12-16 hours.

I have a confession guys and girls. I downloaded the leak copy of the game. I am so hyped for this game, that I couldn't resist.
Well then, I launched it and it went into the main menu and well........I didn't play it.
I exited the game and deleted the files. >.>
I guess I wanted the finished Crytek-ok "done" game.
haha This is the first time I have downloaded a game like this and it felt wrong....I shall continue to wait for Crysis 2 like I have been since Crysis 1.

Why can't March 22 be 2morrow? =(

--Btw: I already bought the game.

That trailer started out well but got really stupid near the end with "you are our last hope, everyone is counting on you" etc.

Bah I don't care, I just wanna pick people up and throw them off buildings.

The trailer was kick-ass! This game is gonna be sooo good ;)

IGN posted an interview with the writer:

IGN: What do you think is the most consistent narrative failure present in video game stories?

Richard Morgan: A refusal to treat the audience as intelligent adults.

The only things I dislike about Crysis 2 are

• It's no longer sandbox like it was before. This is understandable due to the nature of the city, but they could have expanded it a lot more I think had it been a PC game first.
• The nanosuit has lost a lot of its freedom in functionality. Before you could get better control of the suit. I like the new hotkey system for the suit controls, but I don't like how things such as the strength ability are now automatic. Wheny ou want to kick a car with your strength you hold the melee attack key instead of selecting maximum strength whilst you run to the car, then instantly bash the car when you want to. it slows the flow of the gameplay.

These are really the only things I don't like about it. I do like how the suit doesn't turn you into a terminator anymore too.

All this talk of Crysis, makes me want re-install the original...yep, that's what I'm going to do. Later.Gooeykat

just finished it :D

as fun as always!

now its on to Warhead

I know this is probably on a website somewhere, but who are the human dudes that the main character is beating down?
