why all the hate for crysis?

[QUOTE="Hellboard"][QUOTE="SEANMCAD"]

Ok wait a second.

I played Far Cry 1 and Crysis felt almost EXACTLY like that game except I could go inviz.

Ok let me see if I understand.

The radical differnce between Crysis and other shooters like Far Cry is the nanosuit and blur vision? come on I think we can do better.

Ok just checking to make sure.

For me, No One Lives forever is a FPS that is actually different, not just another nano suit added to existing FPS game

Crysis is a very good game. Anybody who "hates" it seriously has issues. If it's the best game or whatever...I really don't care about that point...but to hate this game and claim it's crappy, generic, broken or whatever else is just rediculous.

It doesn't really matter if some crazies hate the game though...Crysis already earned it's acclaim and a few nut cases can't change that...

There's a lot of hate for Crysis? Eh, I loved that game :D. That said, I'm still trying to figure out why exactly they decided to make the enemies North Koreans... usually, they're just random, unspecified enemies lol.chessmaster1989

There aren't too many shooters with Asian enemies. Off the top of my head I can only name Stranglehold and Operation Flashpoint 2.

The Koreans fit the story and the location. They may have nukes (perfect plot device for Warhead) and they're presumably the next US target in the Crysis universe (Prophet is a veteran of the Irak and Iran wars).

Anyone who "hates" the game most likely doesnt have the proper hardware to enjoy the game on very high settings. So this way they can just bash the game claiming the AI is stupid or other silly reasons. But in truth, they just cant run it properly. You know who you are!Tyson8earzz

People hate Crysis?

For the record, the functions of the nanosuit are absolutely not unique to Crysis. I don't think I need, nor do I believe it would be possible to list every FPS that has augmentations which let you move faster, give you more health, or provide cloaking abilities. Just because Crysis lumped all these into one menu and called it a "nanosuit" doesn't make it special. As for freedom and tactics, sure, the game is pretty good about letting you approach situations from different angles (a little better than Far Cry, I'd say), but that's hardly a selling point anymore. Hell, Delta Force had open environments with multiple entry points too, and that game is more than 10 years old. Again, I'm not saying it's a bad game, but I do think it gets an awful lot more praise than it deserves. JN_Fenrir

Crysis merged the augmentations and the open design better than any game before, and added a mad physics engine to that.

I hope the next Crysis will be more similar to Warhead. It keeps the open design of the original and doubles the action. It also has MUCH better music!

I did not like the game that much, I played trough it ones and it got all borgin n'stuff, the funniest thing to do is beating koreans, but I can hardly do that because its so few of them, and they are to far apart. Nearly like FarCry2, but that comperasin is just for how long time it takes to get to the action, It was very fun at the beginning because of the powers you had, I considere the story good. But there is one thing; I did not like the grafics, they are good, but I just did not like the style, it was to light, but I enjoyed breaking houses and shooting down trees^^

and note that I have not played warhead...

my 5 cents , played both crysis and crysis warhead , there great show pieces if you have the spec to do so , i use it mainly to WoW factor friends and such like , showing them what a pc can do in terms of graphics on my 1080p tv compared to the xbox 360 (which i also own an elite with hdmi before the flames from 13 year olds claiming there xbox is best) gameplay wise the game isnt bad , i wouldnt rate it as top , but thats not what this games about , its a show piece , its used still as the benchmark today on graphics charts , alot of people hate it as it is a machine eater no doubt , you need a small mortgage or a good job and sympathetic wife in my case! , to afford a pc that can truely appreciate its stunning visuals. thats all crysis is , average gameplay , stunning graphics. nuf said.

I've played through it almost a dozen times.

Great game.

I don't think that most people really dislike Crysis itself, but rather are somewhat offended by the hype and praise surrounding it. Those are my sentiments anyway.JN_Fenrir

that's the impression I got from reading Crysis threads all over. yes, the *dislike* of Crysis is very much like that of Halo -- it's more directed, or triggered by fans rather than by the game itself.

in this very thread we can see it, it's everywhere as long as negative things being said to Crysis, something like those who don't like Crysis "are n00bs," "console epeniz envy," "have issues", "don't know how to play the game" -- in other words: only mentally distorted or lesser gamers would not agree that Crysis is a great game or the greatest game ever.

this said though, Crysis dis is simply a cult, barely visible, compared to Crysis worshipping, online; only a big deal to Crysis fanboys.

Its a solid game that is fun to play but graphics aside I dont think its anything special.

I think if it had graphics like Call of Duty or something it would have scored like an 8.

yea lol..."all the hate"? what are you talking about, tc? this game is the subject of fervent worship and defence from countless fanboys, and they have prepared an entire arsenal of name-calling to deal with the pagan nay-sayers. this thread itself is enough evidence to show that.

I think the game is great, even without the jaw dropping visuals. (proof being my initial review of the game, i gave it a 9.5 even though i played it on lowish settings with a p4 cpu, 8600gt, and 1gig of ram). in my opinion it is not the suit, or the freedom, that makes the game great, those are definitley contributing factors, but what did it for me was the gunplay and the sound effects. when it comes down to it, gunplay is the heart of any shooter, hence the name "shooter." i personally disliked farcry with gusto, it felt bland and uninspired. while the story aspect of crysis remains unchanged, the gameplay improved exponentially. when you fire a gun in cryisis, think about all the factors that come into play. the gun makes a fantastic crack, and jumps about in your hands. the bullets whiz through the air, causing foliage to sway and trees to fall. the enemies start screaming at each other, and move towards cover. in my experience, no other game has had such dynamic firefights as crysis.

for example, i was fighting in one of the many shanty villages present in the early part of the game, two koreans were running towards me with shotguns. one took cover behind a building, the other ran towards me firing, stopping belown an onning. while he was shooting, he hit and took out one of the support beams for the onning, which collapsed and killed him. how many other games have unspripted events in which stuff like this happens? every firefight is different and exciting. the guns feel great to shoot, and the remarkable physx in the game make for the most dynamic firefights present in any game, ever. all the other stuff, the suit functions, the visuals, are just icing on the gunplay cake. sure it may not be revolutionary, but it packages all the tried and true fps aspects that have developed over the years, puts them into one neat package, and throws on a hell of a game engine just to seal the deal. The only way in which i can see someone hating this game is if they are so jaded by decades of gaming that they have no creative ability left, and just plod their way through the game with no experimentation whatsoever.

i'm with this guy. any game that allows me to drive a boat or humvee through the roof of a little shanty housing is a game worthy of praise. which game ever allowed you to do that? CoD? Half Life series? none can match Crysis in terms of graphics,gameplay,physics and all round awesomeness. Presentation is an aspect that a lot of game do well and each tries to be unique so i don't contest on that. I still remember once you get ou of the sphere and **** is just going crazy around you. i felt the peril and understood the fact that this situation is fubar and there is nothing they can do to resolve it (that's why it becomes linear-ish towards the end because althgouh there is freedom given to the player it is still important t guide them to keep the atmospere of the section flowing.) in short GREAT game.

Even Spielberg loves it.

Steven Spielberg is a huge fan of games including recently released titles such as Crysis, according to Boom Blox producer Amir Rahimi.

Speaking to fact-eating news-excreting machine GamesIndustry.biz Rahimi said, "I was actually pretty surprised to find out how much of a gamer Steven Spielberg is. He - regularly, when we meet with him - makes references to games that a lot of us game developers haven't played or haven't played in years. But also recent games, like Crysis, he talks a lot about."

Only poor people that get pimp slapped by Crysis hate it 'cos they can't afford the system to run it well.ALLoY1717

Mario, didn't you leave us, or am I confusing you wuth someone else???

So I guess youtube is your answer to everything. :)

i REALLY like it.

[spoiler] but it suffers from Half-Life syndrome- the last act simply has you blasting aliens much like any other shooter would have you doing, and is the complete opposite of what you just spent the last 6 hours doing. it's still fun, and the last boss is pretty great, but still not as fun as the preceeding few hours of sneaking around in the jungle screwing with Koreans' heads as you wipe out an entire camp one by one.

and the ending sucks balls. the proper sequel will clearly not be as fun. surely Crytek have forced themselves into a corner where they now have to make a game simply involving fighting aliens, the least fun part of the first game. [/spoiler]

having said that, I still really enjoyed it. it's a superb game, but it had the potential to be even better

Think of a bad human vs alien game, but with ultra graphics. Yup that's Crysis. One hell of a engine for modding though, I'll give them that.

best fps ive played in a long time, love it

im actually a pc shooter fanboy, and i thought the game was ok... nothing special (except for the graphics)

i have way more fun playing Left 4 Dead, CSS or Team Fortress 2
