Did gamespot overrate crysis? I mean, its at 90.6% right now overall, and dropping every couple of days. Within two weeks, it will end up being below 90, far below what hermits have cracked it up to be. Of course, on gamespot, its AAA, but it seems they decided to make up for a couple flops by adding too much here.

One thing about gamespot is that they're one of the very few sites that actually review PC games fairly. Unlike oh say 1up that will give a nearly pefect game (world in Conflict) and 8/10 because of the learning curve which was STILL shorter than nearly all games of the RTS genre. The fact World in Conflict isn't even AAA on gamerankings while it pretty much perfected the RTS genre is proof of how bad GR is for pc games.

Usually gamerankings is better but PC games are grossly abused by most reviewers that also review consoles with an exception being IGN which gave it a 9.4.

GameSpot did not overrate Crysis. Crysis is awesome. Just because it isn't AAA on Gamerankings doesn't mean it isn't an awesome game. Gamerankings is not an absolute measure of a game's quality.

5 sites out of 21 gave Crysis AA.

Why are we listening to the 5 sites and not the other 16?

Well you always have the major PC haters like 1UP.com who despises PC games trying to bring it down so it's no surprise, I think it will more then hold though.

First off its 91% on Gamerankings, and I think it will stay at that or maybe even rise.

Secondly, I couldn't give a hoot what some stupid site says, Crysis is a friggin awesome game.

Every single complaintby every reviewer is a bunch of BS.

"We couldn't run it on it's highest settings", "We had some issues with our PC".

Incompetant morons like that shouldn't be reviewing games to begin with. Next thing they will say is that Super Mario Galaxy is a bit too colourful.

Problem is that the game isn't Half-Life, just look at where Orange Box is in the rankings in comparison.

You mean the same ideas that it borrowed from PC gaming?

And if you mean brought new ideas to console FPS, then you only mean Halo:CE, because 2 and 3 are rehashes.

While that it true with Halo CE and Halo 2, Halo 3 brought no new ideas and was for me at least, the worst of the big shooters of the year (COD4, Crysis, Orange Box, Bioshock).

Halo 3 was hugely overated. The previous games were not.

no other console game in the history of video games has offered the same set of features that Halo 3 has. People LOVE to critisize Halo 3 for not having something completly new, but every time I ask them what more Bungie should have done with the game I never get a solid answer.....weird.

How about try and do something else with the gameplay? Something else with the online?

Halo 3 wouldn't have looked as bad as it does if Gears of War never existed.

Something new with gameplay? The added tons of stuff! Equipment deployment plays a huge part in changing gameplay. Generators/degenerators, portable gravity lifts, trip mines, fire grenades, bubble shield, radar jammer. In Halo 2 you ran around and shot people. in Halo 3, people who use the equipment to their advantage are much better off.

They did add 4 player coop online

Honestly, what more could they have possibly done with the gameplay?

In comparison, Gears has much weaker gameplay and far less features. They are two completly different art styles so i don't see why people are so eager to compare graphics.

I refuse to believe that millions of people will generate record sales numbers for a game that is sooooo overrated. Halo 3 not only set records in the video game industry, but they set records in the gaming industry as well. People won't just plop down $60 of there hard earned money for no reason. People won't still be playing this game years from now because of it's "hype".

I personally believe that as Halo CE had such a good single player and Halo 2 had such a good multiplayer that Bungie couldn't make Halo 3 a significant addition without radically altering the gameplay (eg HL1-HL2). For me, and Halo 1 and 2 were pretty much my favorite games of last gen, Bioshock, Crysis, OB, and COD4 was just better.

I'm not one of the hermits that believe that Halo is an awful series. I just think that after years of playing Halo and Halo 2, Halo 3 didn't shake things up enough for me to play it for more than a week.

IMO it would have been stupid and catastrophic mistake if Bungie messed with a winning formula. The formula has gotten them rave reviews, record sales, and a HUGE and loyal fanbase tha thas made Halo 2 the most played console game online of all time. Not only was Bungie right to keep the general formula intact (although like I said earlier, equipment was a HUGE addition to gameplay), not one person has given me a reasonable suggestion that Bungie could have done to radically change gameplay. that's pretty sad. People love to critisize halo 3, yet all they can say about it is "I wish it was different". Hell...they even threw in 3rd person view with certain weapons.

GameSpot did overrate Crysis by .5, in my opinion--not that it's a big deal. The GameRankings score is about what I personally feel is correct. For me, the latter parts of the game and the technical problems (I'm not talking about overall frame rates, I'm talking about inconsistent optimization and bugs) detracted from what was otherwise one of the most amazing, ambitious FPS experiences I've ever had.

Oh, and as far as I'm concerned, Halo 3 has nothing to do with this discussion whatsoever, because it's not even in the same league as Crysis in any respect except genre.

Like I keep saying, any site that "claims" Ocarina of Time and Mario Galaxy as the top 2 games of all time has no credibility in my book.

Besides, its more likely the case that performance is knocking those ratings down more than game quality.

You hate anything to do with consoles so your opinion about where there games should rank is irrevelant. Gamerankings is an amalgam IT isn't claiming anything. I think it's interesting that hermits feel it doesn't matter how a game performs when it's released because there can always be a patch or a new video card down the road that will "fix" the problem. Obviously some reviewers do feel that way and it is justified. If a game can't run properly according to the minimum system requirements then the book should be thrown at it.

HAH, I hate consoles? No I jsut think the 360 is most overated pile of turd to ever hit the scene. Manticore last gen, I own a 360 so its from experiance, I will have a Wii shortly , and well PS3 god knows when.

My opinion isnt based on system.

Well whatever the case is, it doesn't seem you like consoles at all. Not only that, your sarcastic sig and profile say otherwise too. And owning all systems doesn't automatically mean you're a manticore.

HAH, I hate consoles? No I jsut think the 360 is most overated pile of turd to ever hit the scene. Manticore last gen, I own a 360 so its from experiance, I will have a Wii shortly , and well PS3 god knows when.

My opinion isnt based on system.

Well whatever the case is, it doesn't seem you like consoles at all. Not only that, your sarcastic sig and profile say otherwise too. And owning all systems doesn't automatically mean you're a manticore.

I dont like the 360, that is all, its the only console I really wish I didnt buy, probably because it crosses over with the PC alot, or the most hyped games like Halo 3 are really not all that, I mean 9 of us bought it on Launch day, yet now .nobody out of the 9 of us plays Halo 3 at all .... it died so fast I was quite shocked, and this is the UK ..... other than the US and Japan ... Console central..... trend ive noticed, the new hype machine is Assasins Creed , everyone talks about it and goes to buy it ... can these games not grasp peoples attentions long enough?

My Sarcastic sig is for Doomsayers ... , and my profile? well I got lazy ... I could easily add the 30+ PS2 games, 10 GC games and what little of the Xbox I bought, or go further back to PS1 / N64 (No dreamcast) .... but then I thought "whats the point?".

Did gamespot overrate crysis? I mean, its at 90.6% right now overall, and dropping every couple of days. Within two weeks, it will end up being below 90, far below what hermits have cracked it up to be. Of course, on gamespot, its AAA, but it seems they decided to make up for a couple flops by adding too much here.mtradr43

I lot of reviewers marked the game down because they didn't have the rigs to run it. Or they were bitter that the rigs they have at home couldn't run it well either.

Personally I have no problem with the hardware requirements for Crysis, yes they are high but its good to see PC gaming pushed forward.

Crysis crushesthe current consoles in all technical areas, its a benchmark game. not just for graphics but for physics, AI, sound, gameplayand presentation.

Like I keep saying, any site that "claims" Ocarina of Time and Mario Galaxy as the top 2 games of all time has no credibility in my book.

Besides, its more likely the case that performance is knocking those ratings down more than game quality.

You hate anything to do with consoles so your opinion about where there games should rank is irrevelant. Gamerankings is an amalgam IT isn't claiming anything. I think it's interesting that hermits feel it doesn't matter how a game performs when it's released because there can always be a patch or a new video card down the road that will "fix" the problem.

I don't know half of what you're trying to say in the first paragraph, but never mind, don't sweat it. You can justify what you've got all you want, but may I just say this: on Sunday, we get up 15 minutes before Mass starts and arrive 15 minutes late. And yet when we have a date with a hot chick, we'll get ready two hours before hand, and make sure our hair is perfect down to the last strand. What we favour the most, we're more likely to go to great lengths for. I can try argue all I want that I cherish all games as much as Halo, but my sole review says it all. And besides, you've been writing history since your first post. So all that needs to be done is to check that out to get a more accurate picture. Let's just say I'll give you the benefit of the doubt so you don't need to reply. Let the rest sort itself out in due time.

I do not think for one second that reviewers are going to hate on Crysis just because they have personal beef with such high system requirements. Reviewers are not aliens, they're just like you, and since even you admitted you don't care for such obstacles, it should be a no brainer most of them are the same too. There are a few exceptions, such as IGN AU, but in the review itself said it wasn't your average article.

Couldnt you of just said I favoured the PC , would of saved you alot of effort, which is true this generation, wasnt true previously, SNES and PS2 were right up there.

And well my first post, I aint bothering to look, but when I first joined I was more hyped about the PS3, having already played the 360 countless times with friends ... my opinion on the 360 is the same as ever.

While I do agree that not all Reviewers are gonna hate on Crysis because they have a problems with the specs, I have read a lot of reviews putting it as a negative points and talking a lot about it. I'm pretty sure that brought down the score a notch on some websites.

I'm arguing the case for personal reasons. If they're bringing the score down for universal reasons, then I don't have any qualms about that. I personally think that if you're going to make something 'future proof', doing it to the extreme is just incredibly stupid. Once everyone can actually start enjoying the 'full experience', along comes another piece of technology that does even more with the same configuration. Crytek barely misses that mark.

I don't have any qualms with games that can't be maxed out the time it was released.....How is it any different from a top end video card that won't be fully utilized by any game when it was released.....If both h/w and s/w stop pushing boundries, there will be no progression.

I think it's a little bit overrated. Now the hermits know how Halo fans feel when people say Halo is overrated all the time. ;)

bezaire2005

ButHalo is overrated for thousands of resaons, its not even anaverage game to hermits.

I refuse to believe that millions of people will generate record sales numbers for a game that is sooooo overrated. Halo 3 not only set records in the video game industry, but they set records in the gaming industry as well. People won't just plop down $60 of there hard earned money for no reason. People won't still be playing this game years from now because of it's "hype".

The Sims is a nice example of how that logic fails. It was easy to pickup, marketed well, and really it was the only game for a long, long time that could justify a person's purchase of the Xbox (which says more about the early library of the Xbox than about Halo). If it has mass appeal, yes, it is more than likely not a bad game, but that kinda argument is almost like stating that sales are a direct indicator of how good a game is.

Plus he said it was an average game to PC gamers, it obviously wasn't perceived as an average game to Xbox owners.

Also World of Warcraft, is like the Halo of the MMO genre ... because its so casualized ... for those looking for challenging MMO, Everquest 1 was the one to beat , WoW is just EQ clone thats dumbed down ... which then leaves out the "sense of achievement".

Hey, the PS2 still isn't maxed out as well isn't it? I mean, it was future proofed much like the PS3 apparently is, so it's still not entirely obsolete. But new technology has come to replace it altogether. In any case that's not the point. Software taxing current hardware is different from hardware not realizing its full potential (and high end hardware has immediate benefits such as producing current content at a higher quality). I doubt anyone ran to defend Halo 2 by stating, "Oh, just wait. Once the 360 comes out, it will be output at 720p with FSAA, ultimately making it the best Xbox graphics out there", and I'll doubt people will say "The third Xbox will run previous 360 and Xbox games much smoother, and thus Mas Effect's technical problems should not be taken into account." But I digress. As I said, Crytek didn't go that far in my opinion. Their problems will be rectified much sooner than people care to think. Anyways I'm out.

no other console game in the history of video games has offered the same set of features that Halo 3 has. People LOVE to critisize Halo 3 for not having something completly new, but every time I ask them what more Bungie should have done with the game I never get a solid answer.....weird.

bezaire2005

A single player mode that doesn't suck would be a good start. Consider that was a huge strength of Halo CE, it was quite dissapointing to see Halo 2 and on half-assed and thrown together, the equivalent of a rickety bridge over a giant plothole.
