Crysis 2 - Consolized to the max! Crysis fans beware...

Anyone that liked Crysis for more than its graphics and that it contained action will be disappointed with Crysis 2.

Compared to Crysis, Crysis 2 offers:

• Less freedom in the world - You're being herded from A to B with very little options.
• Less interactivity - Destructible objects and buildings are all but gone.
• Less control - Prone and lean are gone and replaced with a bunch of half-automatic cover and leaning functions.
• Less thought - You're constantly being guided and "helped" by the all mighty suit, "Look, there's the ammo! There are the enemies! Walk this way!".

All this put together makes it obvious that the game has lost its roots and have been completely dumbed and watered down to fit the consoles and their typical audience.
All in all this is a product that Crytek should feel shame for calling it Crysis 2.

The typical console gamer will be thrilled with the new Crysis - Can't get enough of generic shooters!
The typical PC gamer that liked Crysis for its unique stregths will be very disappointed indeed - A franchise of great freedom, scale and interaction, is no more.

yeah like total of 5 hermits. most gamers would probably enjoy crysis 2 more.

I enjoyed the Mp demo. Graphics on pc while not earth shattering like crysis was back in the day, still look good. I will be buying crysis2 day one, I stopped caring what anyone thinks here along time ago.

I am a hardcore console gamer, I was looking forward to Crysis for the unique twist it offered in gameplay.

A lot of what it had to offer is now gone with what looks to be a Call of Duty on Sterioids. :?

Which destructible buildings are you talking about? Did you mean the tool shed shacks scattered throughout the game? :lol: Your reasons seem so whiny to me. Elann2008

"Waaaah they consolized this!" "They conzolized that!"

Do PC gamers have to feel so superior that they have to use this word every 10 seconds? I don't understand why you can't just shut the up and enjoy the game for what it is. I've been PC gaming for a couple years now and I think I'm coming to the conclusion that I just can't stand the community. All the elitists and hardcores do is just give us a bad name.

The gunplays better, the suit is far more flexible, there's still interaction (you can pick up pretty much anything and throw it, just like Crysis 1), the atmosphere is MUCH better, the sound design is better, the aliens are better, the animations are better, the story is better, the presentation is better, the ai is better, the level design is still open, maybe not to the extent of Crysis 1 but it's nowhere near a COD clone, but yeah, I can't blow a hut apart so it's instantly terrible. :roll:

And I just spent the only "exploding building" series I had left in that Crysis 2: Blur thread...

No, it wasn't that impressive. I enjoyed knocking down shacks and throwing barrels at said shacks. But the destructibility wasn't a major part of the game in Crysis.

Its not like Crysis was ever that great of a FPS to begin with.

The only reason its been popular around here is for graphics debates and finger pointing about what a maxed out gaming PC can render.

I find it funny how most console gamers say Crysis is only praised for it's graphics. Yes, it has the best graphics to date despite being a 4 year old game, but why don't you actually play the game before saying something as stupid "it only haz graphixxx!11!"

If all PC gamers had that attitude, we'd be paying for online right now.

nope try again...

I find it ironic that freedom in games was revolutionized by the GTA games (which are console games) and they don't seem to realize that Call of Duty and Half-Life 2 (both incredibly linear titles spawned as PC games) are two of the most linear games of all time. Doesn't make them bad games, but still, PC gaming isn't exactly known for freedom in its games.

I liked Crysis with its settings, but I am moslty enjoying the non-open world games more so I have no problem accepting the new crysis.
