Why it's good nobody can max crysis

I get really tired of people saying the game sucks just because you can't max it out. Well, it just so happens that on high settings, it is still the best looking game ever, and on mine with many customizations, it looks better than high and runs like medium. The point is, if developers make graphics suck just to get a large audience (mmo's) people wont be happy. If they make them better than we can do now, it still loks fantastic, and 5 years from now, it won't have aged poorly at all because it gets better and better just like your computer.

People need to stop being so ocd about running on max, because it's still a jaw-dropping game on med-high, and will look even better later on.

This happens with so many High End PC games.

Remember when no one could Run F.E.A.R. on Max? Well, you can now, and it still looks fantastic.

10 million people disagree.

To be frank, only a retard buys a game just because of the graphics.

You want to max out your graphics? Go outside. You want realistic shooters? Join the Military.

I mean, the majority of gamers want gameplay, not a pretty wall to stare at.

Graphics don't make a game.

GTA-SA is still better than Crysis as far and length, reparability, emersion, game play, enjoyablity, and overall appeal as far as I'm concerned! And a whole lot more people would agree with me than disagree! Yet GTA-SA came out with graphics that were like 3 or 4 years out of date at its launch!

The point is that there is no amount of high end graphics can ever compete with a really, really good storyline, atmosphere, game play scenario and lots of depth like the GTA series. I would take a sequel to GTA-SA, if it was done with the same depth of story, and universe, even with the very same graphics SA had right now over any game you could name. Especially Crysis!

Crysis is just a pretty FarCry with a few new bells and whistles. And FarCry was a great game, actually it's still better than Crysis. Because Crysis improved all the wrong things over FarCry.

GTA-SA was actually a little better than GTA-VC which was amazing! And GTA-VC was actually a little better than GTA III which was amazing! Why? Because Rockstar actually improved/continued the things that make a game really, really great. And Graphics are not part of them.

I'm very skeptical about the upcoming GTA with really great graphics. If they pull it off, that is making yet another GTA sequel that lives up to the series name but also has amazing graphics... Then they will have done what no one has done yet and it will be the greatest video game of all time!

But if you ask me Crysis is just a flashy, update to FarCry and when compared to the other games that came out when it did, it should get a lower score than FarCry. FarCry in early 2004 was way better than Crysis in late 2007!

Crysis not THAT bad i think.. just finished Crysis and impressed with its "ending" (well it's not going to end).
And it is far better than other games like Doom 3 and FARCRY (I really hated FC), in term of gameplay, sound, blablabla.
Anyway just IMO.

The title of this thread should be "Why it makes no difference that nobody can max Crysis".

It still is what it is, maxed graphics or not... a very good, maybe even "great" single player game. But not a legend, not a watershed gamming moment, really not even a 9.2 like its predecessor FarCry was for its day. Crysis didn't break any new ground outside of graphics.

If you want amazing graphics download a cool screensaver... :?

I played the game on low settings with 800x600 resolution, and I still think It's a pretty damn good game.Vilot_Hero

Yeah I did that too. Infact I even posted screens back when the demo came out of Crysis at the absolute minimum settings possible just the get peoples reactions. This is something I think EVERYONE should do! Even if you have the system from god, set your favorite games at absolute minimum, 800x600/640x480 etc. with everything set as low as it will go and check it out. Why don't more people do this?

If it's really a good game it will still be fun despite how it looks. I do that and just think this is great, I would love to have this on my phone and there is no reason I shouldn't be able to!!

Again Crysis set max or min is a fun, ever great game! It's just not groundbreaking... at all. And should have never been given a 9.5. A 9.0 / 9.1 would be a more appropriate score.

Here is a pic from my Crysis 800/600 low res... Still a good game... no dobt.. But not a 9.5...
