Crysis makes all other shooters feel so... outdated.

I think Crysis is the first FPS to step out of the post-Halo generation of shooters. The open world design combined with the nanosuit and real time weapon customization give you the freedom to play however you want. No FPS on the market comes close to giving you that sort of freedom.

Most shooters these days use linear paths with artificial boundaries to make sure everyone who plays the game plays it exatly the same way. You have no say in the matter.

Crysis lets you choose how to play. You wanna go in guns blazing? Step into armor mode, bring out the shotty and go crazy.

You wanna go guerilla style? Cloak and hook up you AR with the assault scope and a silencer. Then you go prone in the bushes and take your enemies out one by one before nobody ever knows what hit them.

Wanna be a coward? Get in strength mode, punch a dude's lights out, then use maximum speed to run away. Rinse, lather, repeat.

I think we'll start to see future shooters become more and more like Crysis. The same way shooters became more and more like Halo seven years ago.

Cripes, the whole 'open-world' aspect of Crysis is severely overstated...Verge_6

Everytime I used anything but armor I got severily owned. The game lets you choose how to play, but if it isn't guns blazing then you chose wrong. And what's up with Crysis right now anyway? That's 2 threads that basically say the same thing in about 10 minutes.

I found Crysis's combat to be rather bland due to it's laughable weapon inventory, simplistic customization, and the fact you only got to really use three guns of an already low aresenal.

I have played stalker but not deus ex and i still think Crysis is better ONLY because of its setting i.e. A beautifull island with palm trees and thick green,lush forests.

Agreed.Infact its not even an "Open world".It just plays like ANY other FPS only with BETTER graphics.

not ture you are just playing wroung with the other powers IMO. They all Have their uses and stuff like sterngth is for reduceing recoil,quick one hit kills,or reaching areas the enemy can not go. cloak is for hideing and sneaking up on your enemy. and speed is for escapes, chargeing in quickly, or evasive action.

Own both Stalker games and both Crysis games. Prefer Crysis due to the much superior combat. Played Deus Ex on PC back in the day and that was an incredible game but definitely does not have the combat intensity that Crysis does.

In terms of visuals Crysis makes literally everything feel outdated, no doubt. In terms of gameplay, it's a matter of opinion. It sort of does to me. I utilize the powers damn near perfectly while playing online and offline. It's quite an incredible game to play. It's tough to play without going "Wow" once every five minutes after doing something crazy. Stalker is a little slower paced but definitely a wide open title. Both are incredible games and the pinnacle of what FPS's should be.

except stalkers combat is soo weak compared to crysis. TheMistique

I love Crysis, but no. It takes all of its elements from other shooters. The only difference is it does it very very well. Its not innovative, just very polished and well-designed.Skittles_McGee

EXACTLY...i think in terms of innovation,gameplay and graphics.Far Cry 2 is going to blow everyone away !

Far Cry actually had much bigger levels than Crysis and was far more open and non-linear. I also liked it how Far Cry also mixed it up with corridor crawl missions as well. I think Far Cry with Crysis's graphics and the nanosuit would be insane.bungie93

I just bought Crysis, and have put some time into it, but to be frank... the AI leaves much to be desired for. Really... I don't feel it's that big a step. Not to mention the accent and language is pretty hilarious... Koreans don't sound like that, plus it'd be more chilling if they spoke their native tongue.

Anyways, the AI to me just feels underwhelming for the most part. Sometimes in the middle of the firefight they lose sight of me in the bushes (a bit expected) and do a complete 180 and shoot at the other side... ok it happened like twice so far. Yet that made me just a little :question: a few things that are more common are when you shoot the enemy in cloak mode, or from a distance and they don't seem to know where they got shot at (if you didn't kill them of course.) Now... if I shood your left arm, why turn right? ...

Not to mention some of the glitches while not show stopping bad make me curious (why's an exploded grenade leaving a plume of fire or smoke ball behind?

Crysis is good looking though, the gunplay is nice, and the nanosuit's not bad, but so far the suit seems to break the game a bit. It's nice to have the option, but cloaking and shooting from a distance makes it too easy witht he AI the way it is....

I don't get why people compare DE with Crysis, they are extreamly different, I get the feeling people do this just to diss Crysis.

Far Cry 2 will suck just like the console ports of Far Cry sucked.

Play it on delta, no English there. There's also no crosshair or grenade indicators. It's still too easy though.

Try putting the game on delta difficulty. They do speak their native tongue.

Why do people complain about the gameplay of Crysis? If you think it's too easy? Maybe put it on a more difficult setting, obviously, this guy wasn't playing on the hardest setting if they were still speaking english.

Try not crouching in the bushes from a far off distance, and maybe try closing some distance with speed, cloak a bit, jump on a roof top, maybe wait a bit while prone for energy, then punch in the rooftop and use the house for cover while killing any koreans inside.

Man, no one has any imagination anymore.

I bet he put on strength mode and ran into like 5 guys thinking he could take damage while punching or something. How come only a few of us can adapt to different gameplay Lonely?

Couldn't have said it better.

Crysis makes all other shooters outdated on the technical aspect only. I still think Far Cry was the greater sandbox game because it had a greater feeling of survival. It was only the player and its weapons. No nanosuit.

Crysis is still a solid title.

I think Far Cry 2 is going to make other shooters feel outdated...

...until Half Life 3 shows once again how awesome corridor FPSes are.

That is, of course, if Half Life 3 doesn't become a sandbox title :?

[QUOTE="TheMistique"]except stalkers combat is soo weak compared to crysis. AdrianWerner

I was a little let down by Crysis.

I don't think its really the games fault, more the elite PC posse that make it out to be some epic game that is borderline life changing. It played like far cry, but I don't recall the enemies in far cry taking un realistic amouts of damage like they do in far crysis.

Graphically I wasn't too impressed either. When you stop and look and stuff, yeah, it looks good, but from an artstyle point of view, I didn't find it too great, nothing compared to say bioshock.

Still a good game though.

Sorry, that's wrong. I got through the whole game playing Predator-sty1e: stealthy hit-and-run. If I tried going in guns-a-blazing I got cut down pretty quickly.

Like the TC said, you choose your sty1e.

FrozenLiquid

one is paving the road for open ended sandbox fps shooters(STALKER *honorable mention* :P ) while the other is picking up where the creator left off.....

I honestly wasn't that impressed by it.

Or think it did much new, not that it's neccessarily a bad thing.

I tried playing Stalker, and I just couldn't play it for more than 20 minutes. Maybe it was the RPG elements?

What I enjoy most about Crysis, is that although it is somewhat a huge sandbox, in which you can do as you please, essentially you have a task at hand which will move the gamea along, and then so on. Essentially it's pretty linear compared to an RPG, but I kinda like that.

Call my crazy, but Crysis, but the most important thing that I love about Crysis, is the constant stream of enemies and the action, it's always going, no matter what. I love the pace of the game and that's what I look for most in shooters.

Don't play Crysis then;)

that way you'll be able to enjoy much more games:)

"POST HALO"????? are you dumb ???? please dont insult crysis neither decent fps's

good point...... pal.

lol jk i hate dane cook

TheMistique

Now THAT is a stance I can agree with.

Crysis only makes shooters outdated graphically, the actual gameplay was average at best.MegaManZXY

No, the gameplay is actualy one of the best ever seen in FPS

I think Crysis is the first FPS to step out of the post-Halo generation of shooters. The open world design combined with the nanosuit and real time weapon customization give you the freedom to play however you want. No FPS on the market comes close to giving you that sort of freedom.

Most shooters these days use linear paths with artificial boundaries to make sure everyone who plays the game plays it exatly the same way. You have no say in the matter.

Crysis lets you choose how to play. You wanna go in guns blazing? Step into armor mode, bring out the shotty and go crazy.

From my recent experience with the game, there's only one efficient way to eliminate a group of soldiers (if there are no vehicles around).

You wanna go guerilla style? Cloak and hook up you AR with the assault scope and a silencer. Then you go prone in the bushes and take your enemies out one by one before nobody ever knows what hit them.

That, plus the armour power. It makes the game very easy in Delta mode. It is the only efficient way to take out your enemies most of the time.

Wanna be a coward? Get in strength mode, punch a dude's lights out, then use maximum speed to run away. Rinse, lather, repeat.

That's flat out ridiculous. Your health drops very fast on a higher difficulty, and you have to wait for it to recharge. This adds a little variety, but gets old quick and isn't a very good battle plan.

I think we'll start to see future shooters become more and more like Crysis. The same way shooters became more and more like Halo seven years ago.

There aren't many options when it comes to dealing with enemy soldiers in Crysis. Throwing trash cans, bumping into them with maximum speed or grabbing soldiers by the neck adds a little variety, but it does not completely alter the way you can play the game. In the end it's as I've said - maximum armour and invisibility is the best way to deal with your enemies. Crysis gives you very little choice in what to do, as other posters said.
