I did a Video on Youtube to proofing that Crysis is better than Killzone 2, Killzone 2 looks not bad but common Crysis owns the Game in every category. Where is Halo?, well for me is the game not even worth to put it on my Video and do comparisons and to mention it in my Video.

Thats all my opnion how you see you the things?`????

IMO... Halo 3 > Crysis > Killzone 2 But I prefer the fun factor over the graphics. BTW, Halo3 had great graphics :| And this is coming from a PC gamer btw...

I agree. All of the games were great. All of them had their advantages and disadvantages, but all are definitely worth playing...

Why can't people get over the fact that Great Graphics /=/ Bad Gameplay? The best thing about Crysis is that it has both and it does them extremely well.

:shock: Thats my point right there, it aint a "pure" fps it cant be played like a fps, eg like cod4 or killzone 2, if it does then the gameplay feels pretty weak and makes you use all the other gameplay features, so basicly it HAS weak fps gameplay.

I didnt said it has bad gameplay, i said it has weak fps gameplay its not a pure fps its a fun game but not a pure fps like killzone 2.

Whatever you say man, whatever you say and ubesoldier is a good fps with that logic :roll: its like saying the best fps is a fps that weapons dont take the main role of the game, no thanks thats not a pure fps.dakan45
Crysis has, despite what you may think (or may not think, as the case may be...), very strong gameplay. I admit, it gets more linear after you encounter the aliens, limiting your options, but it still has plenty strong gameplay, and the suit gives the player the option to fight the good fight in the way they see fit.
But hey, I'm not one to tell you what games to enjoy...:|

:roll:....:( You missing my point completly, its not about linearity or anything like that, its about having a stupid suit and the combat feel weak for a fps. FPS= First person shooter, shooting is not done right in crysis it feels awfull. All the abilities are fun, but when i want to just "shoot stuff" which is what makes a fps fun in my opinon, id play either killzone 2 or cod4, either by my own of multiplayer with a friend, id rather do that than throw chickens around :lol:

In games like half life or quake 2 or killzone in ps2 i had fun to play the campaign or mp with a friend, crysis just isnt like that.

Obvious fanboy is obvious.

You have a video called Flower sucks and Crysis has better graphics.

It's also obvious that you have never played Flower since when you talked about it you had pictures of flowers.

Nothing to see here, just another PC fanboy that only cares about graphics.

Edit-LULZ, it has a 1 star average out of 11 ratings.

"you should be learning to spell" I mean come on, not everyone is an english speaking adult here, give him a break, he might not be that good at English due to the diffirences in his first language, and that doesnt mean he is a learning teenager, he could be an adult that misses a few things.

I know you weren't talking about linearity. I was merely commenting on how it gets more linear as it goes, therefore limiting the player's tactical choices. I'm not trying to change your thoughts on the game. I'm just saying how it has strong gameplay, as well as amazing visuals. The "stupid suit", whilst not being the main topic of conversation here, undeniably gives the player more options when playing the game. If you want to run into a group of Koreans guns blazing, then the game gives you the option to do so. If you want to proceed more stealthily then, again, the game has you covered.
That "weak" combat is purely your opinion. *Personally*, I liked the gunplay in Crysis. I thought it had a nice feel to it. Killzone 2 and your beloved Call of Duty 4 are a different kind of First Person Shooter. Some people prefer those, with linear levels and over-the-top intensity, while some people prefer the choice that Crysis offers. Neither group is "wrong", and the fact that Crysis gives you the option to through Poultry around just aids in making the world feel less artificial.

But as I said before, I'm not trying to tell you what to enjoy. I believe that people should be able to enjoy what they like, and shouldn't be told otherwise.
Also, I agree. Half-Life is an amazing game. It remains my all-time favourite FPS.

What? I said crysis has the best graphics so far but i liked far cry more in gameplay and levels Nowhere i said that killzone 2 has better graphics than crysis, just to make clear that. I just like "pure fps" like far cry or cod 4 or killzone 2 rather crysis or timeshift. Why? I dont know i have more fun with em.

crysis's gameplay is fantastic for people like me sick to death of the ultra linear and scripted cod type fps. for me its the best shooter this gen by a mile.

ive not played kz2 but id say its definitely better than halo 3, even though i did really enjoy it

Meh, I actually have to agree with you that crysis actually is better than killzone 2, but that by no means means that killzone 2 isn't a good game. It's great, freaking great, the thing is that crysis is just unbelievable.

I got 3/4 or so through Crysis and got bored. Grabbed a new PC installed it, got about 3/4 of the way through it again before getting bored. I don't think there were any major leaps over Far Cry. I felt like I should have loved the game but for some reason I found it tedious. I enjoyed KZ 2's MP and the SP is good enough. I loved the original Halo but hate two and three. Still, I don't think Crysis is a better game than those two. I was mostly disappointed with the physics in Crysis; they didn't live up to the hype for me.

It's a shame that it got as much credit as it did and tragic people are still bringing up the game as much as they do. If PC gamers are going to praise the superiority of their chosen platform there a half dozen games for the PC this generation that make a much better case.

Crysis in many regards IS better than the two. It sure as hell is far more *progressive* than the other two, and has a *better design*. Of course the technicalities of the Crysis are self explanitory.... and its a much more ambitious game. However both Halo 3 and Killzone 2 do trump Crysis in the multiplayer department, despite Crysis pushing to do something different in this regard.

What if i tell you that there is not even one thing that i dissagree, no seriously not even one, i agree 100% I think crysis is worse instead of better, like there is no major leaps just like you said, when i had a lot of fun with far cry, there were also many borring parts at crysis for some reason. Kz2 was fun, not an amazing game but still fun The first halo was a fun game but the second was pretty meh, i dont know about the third but from what iv seen it doesnt look atleast better than halo 2.

No it doesnt. It doesn't go by standard shooter conventions the likes that Killzone 2 do - copying titles like Medal of Honor AA and Half Life in design (its that dated). Crysis core strength is the sheer density and complexity of its game design.

Yes it has weak fps gameplay, re-read my above posts to understand what i mean "pure fps gameplay"

"Crysis core strength is the sheer density and complexity of its game design."

EXACTLY all these not its fps gameplay.Well in call of duty 4 and killzone 2 the "core stregnth" of tje game is the fun fps gunplay which is done right. Not their linearity or their psychics you so much complain about , its the godamn shooting which is fun in killzone 2 and its not fun in crysis, therfore its fps gameplay is weak!!!!

What is commonly recognised as pure FPS gameplay = that of the likes of Doom.

Run and Gun, circle strafing, collecting pickups, and killing many, many creatures with powerful weapons.

Your definition of 'what is FPS gameplay' is completely flawed in this regard, as none of these games are 'pure shooters', they are all hybrid designs from a variety of other shooters that bent shooter design conventions.

Which makes Crysis just as much of a shooter as all of these games, despite is much more complex design.

And run and gun is very enjoyable to me in Crysis, enhanced by the scope of level design, and flexibility of the nanosuit, and weapon modifications (on the fly). The dynamic A.i. also enhances this.

Reality is the shooter has evolved far beyond its original conventions, which is why games like Serious Sam and Painkiller, that relate back to shooter design conventions almost two decades old stand out.

And no that does not fit the definition of 'weak' in design.

Quite frankly shooters such as Killzone 2, relying on strict level design and scripted 'awe' sequence, following general shooter conventions are much more weak in design, relying in high production values, to enhance the experience.

A shooter that defines traditional and popularised design conventions such as Crysis, realising something much more complex and compelling is an example of strong design in the genre, despite its own flaws.

Its like saying i dont like cod4 or killzone because i cant sneak up on my enemies and throw a chicken on the head or i cant drive vehicles.. Duh:shock: but fps games are not about that, they are about shooting stuff.

If you were a huge fan of Halo but did not like Halo 2, like me, you may find some value in playing part three for the nostalgia factor but not much more. I would have spent more time with the MP but I hate the XBL community and the match making system. Far Cry dropped my jaw when that game came out and I was so damn excited for Crysis. I was in denial the first time I tried to play the game. I kept telling myself I loved it when really it was just boring for me.

EXACTLY not its fps gameplay, well in call of duty 4 and killzone 2 the "core stregnth" is the fun fps gameplay which is done right. Not their linearity or their psychics, its the godamn shooting which is fun in killzone 2 and its not fun in crysis, therfore its weak.

What is commonly recognised as pure FPS gameplay = that of the likes of Doom.

Run and Gun, circle strafing, collecting pickups, and killing many, many creatures with powerful weapons.

Your definition of 'what is FPS gameplay' is completely flawed in this regard, as none of these games are 'pure shooters', they are all hybrid designs from a variety of other shooters that bent shooter design conventions.

Which makes Crysis just as much of a shooter as all of these games, despite is much more complex design.

And run and gun is very enjoyable to me in Crysis, enhanced by the scope of level design, and flexibility of the nanosuit, and weapon modifications (on the fly). The dynamic A.i. also enhances this.

Reality is the shooter has evolved far beyond its original conventions, which is why games like Serious Sam and Painkiller, that relate back to shooter design conventions almost two decades old stand out.



I think having a gun, aiming and shooting is more "pure fps" than collecting ammo and using keycards in doom

"Reality is the shooter has evolved far beyond its original conventions, which is why games like Serious Sam and Painkiller, that relate back to shooter design conventions almost two decades old stand out."

....and still generic fps like cod 4 are making more money.... :roll:

But whats the point anyway? Something more groundbraking will come out and then another cod will own it as usual, so why do we even bother?

You know what? forget about it ill just go play a fps that was made to shoot stuff like killzone 2 and not to throw chickens :lol:

I highly doubt that either KZ2 and Halo 3 provide as much freedom as Crysis or as much improvisation. None of these games will be remember for their narratives though :P

Its like saying i dont like cod4 or killzone because i cant sneak up on my enemies and throw a chicken on the head or i cant drive vehicles.. Duh:shock: but fps games are not about that, they are about shooting stuff.dakan45
By your logic shooters are also all about finding secret rooms and collecting items and powerups. And furthermore shooters that have vehicle sections (ala Killzone 2 and Halo 3) are just as much arcade vehicle combat games as they are First Person Shooters. Having scripted cinematic sequences means they are interactive movies as much as they are shooters. Having rail sections means they are point and click targeting games, as they are being mobile in the First Person perspective while shooting. What defines a 'First Person Shooter' in this day and age is far more complex than what you are deeming. Which is why games Half Life 2 push the mold of shooter conventions, while being labled one.

The original Far Cry felt much more open to me. Do I take this base from the west or the east? I actually found the game linear even though the world was open. It felt like a linear game inside a sand box to me.

Yet Doom is a 'pure shooter'. Doom has aiming, shooting, running and gunning.

And what has this got to do with money? Huh?

I think you are missing the point entirley.

COD4 is not a pure shooter, its a MoH:AA clone, as is the entire Call of Duty Series. While it pushes beyond its conventions in quite a few regards, its copies its design template at its core - however doing so extremely successfully.

This is the type of game that is very popular in this day and age, 'pure' shooter conventions were proceeded long ago when titles like Half Life and Medal of Honor, even Halo and Golden Eye hit mainstream popularity. Its not 'pure' design. Far from it.

The genre has evolved far beyond it being 'pure'. Which makes your argument about design completely invalid.

It doesnt matter if a game like Crysis *was* ground breaking in its design (it wasn't it was highly evolutionary), fact is its nowhere near as popular in design as a game like Call of Duty, which is the popular trend in shooter design today.

And because the option in Crysis is there to pickup and object and throw it - essentially using it as a weapon, its suddenly less of a shooter that forces you to hide behind a brick wall, and sit there waiting, right?

Halo will be memorable to fans of the franchise and while I don't like any game in the series but the first I do like the Halo universe. KZ has great atmosphere at least. Crysis just... annoyed the hell out of me.

Crytek is going to make a multi-platform game and it will suck. PC gamers will say it's because they went multi-plat and consoles ruined the game. I say it's because they are a one trick pony; that trick being top notch visuals. Take that away from them and they are a mediocre developer.

I have no idea what you just said about hl 2 but hl>hl2 , hl2 was just psychics, and boredom Also if you take a look at biggest loser comment you will see he is talking about freedom, why it always have to be about freedom? What happened to a fun experience? For example those rail vehicle sequences as you call it have always been fun and adding up to the action of the game. I found far cry insanelly fun, but crysis felt like a copy paste for some reason after a while, when i played warhead i got deathbored because it felt like the same thing and the same freedom with lack of ideas and action scenes. For me its not the freedom that defines the fps but the ideas and the fun, killzone 2 really has some nice battles without giving you freedom, cod4 has many scripted action sequences which are intentionally linear in order to tell the story right and make those seuquences immersive, while games like crysis or stalker repeat the whole "freedom" thing without having any substance in them As for respawning enemies? Id rather kill respawning enemies all the time till they stop spawning than those times that you have to fight the respawning combine in hl2 and then the games takes away those infantry enemies and introduces them latter on...why dont they place them along the level instead of spawning them on a single area? Basicly half life is the best example of a fps done right, lots of diffirent situations without exchaning the fps gameplay to psychics puzzle sovling and without make you kill unlimited enemies in simillar corridor levels, without forcing you to use something extra, eg a nanosuit or slow mo and without giving you partial freedom. In the end, choices are just choices and they dont really change much, they are scripted as well and the choices are pretty limited and repettive, id rather have a fun experiance instead like killzone 2.

Me too it gotta be the level design . The levels just dont feel like an island, more like a linearized map, follow that road and go to that korean base.

Playing Crysis actually made me appreciate Killzone 2 more.

Story wise Crysis > Killzone 2

Voice Acting narration Crysis >>>>>>>>> Killzone 2

Gameplay Crysis =/= Killzne 2

Graphics...in some places better in Crysis in some places better in Killzone 2

Atmosphere Killzone > Crysis

Action/pace/setting Killzone 2 >>> Crysis

Over all either way

What happened to a fun experience?dakan45
Fun is completely subjective.

What is fun to you, does not to equate to shooter correct shooter design conventions.

A game like Killzone 2 might satisfy what *you* want t from a shooter, but it sure as hell is not a 'pure' shooter, by definition of design.

A game like Crysis might not satisfy what *you* want from a shooter, but it sure as hell proves to be an excellent shooter by its own design.

Again I am not talking about what is 'more fun' I am talking about *shooter design*, defining and separating the two - correcting your statement that Crysis has 'weak first person shooter gameplay'

Reality is it doesn't.

You argued 'pure design' - reality is none of these games are 'pure first person shooters' in design, that the genre has evolved substantially.

And now you cite your own 'fun' which is, in your own subjectivity does not support your original argument at all.

All you are doing is highliting your own opinion on these games; what is better and worse *to you*.

And for the record Half Life as a shooter also blends interactive story design, puzzle, platformer and adventure and survival horror into its 'first person shooter design'. What you deem as an 'FPS done right' is completely subjective.

There is no 'right or wrong' there is good and bad design.

None of these games have bad First Person Shooter design, they are all different.

Hmm, Imo Crysis >> Halo 3 = Killzone 2 as far as overall quality goes.
