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 outdated.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.

Untrue!

Crysis has beautiful graphics and that is really about it. The game is evolutionary not at all revolutionary.

I don't think so. I like Stalker and it's prequel MUCH better than Crysis. Crysis was great, but only when running and gunning. The stealth was broken IMO and it ruined the game my first playthrough.

Anyways, Stalker Clear Sky is one of the few games that is actually requiring me to think about my battles carefully. Even more so than the original SoC. It really, IMO, puts Crysis to shame.

I think Far Cry 2 is going to make other shooters feel outdated...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

devious742

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.....

Because Far Cry 2 is on consoles.. that's why.

God. What the hell am I missing about this game? It bored the crap out of me and I LOVE FPSs.

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.

Also, I've been experimenting with the powers a bit, but I shouldn't have to go out of my way to make the game react to some AI mechanics that it expects or something. If I'm cloaked or so, the AI should be a little more smarter, or heck if I'm just shooting from some shrubbery. I could go Gun's blazing, but if you're touting "Play as you want" style here, why isn't the game trying to accomodate those other styles of play? Why just one type of play?

not your cup..like many other peoples..

but anyways..i think that everyone is tired of the modern FPS aka corridor shooters/ linear shooters..i think that New gen shooters will have options too choose what path you want to take.and how you want to approach things differently.. and it seems like with every FPS there taking that idea, FC2, Crysis warhead, STALKER and such.

bioshock had a linear story. But the way you carried out the game was completely up to you. The TC used different methods of play as an argument so so wil I. Shoot your way through, blow them up with plasmids, hack turrets to defend you, enragee them so they fight each other, the list goes on.

This is more just a question, but does Crysis have destructible enviroments?Just wondering.UnamedThing

houses have hit points where it falls apart at ....but this isnt avalible online.

in terms of graphics, yes. hell yes.

but believe me when I say the nanosuit gets old quick (you get all powers from the beginning. upgrades or progressively getting more powers would have been really nice), the weapon selection feels small and there's really only one gun you use, and the "openness" is highly exagerrated. crysis has its quirks, but at the end of the day, it's another FPS game. maybe not as generic as most other FPS games, but until Crysis's open environments are met with RPG aspects, a more customizable nanosuit (hell, give me more nanosuit colors and i'm fine), and storyline alterations of some sort, it is no way in hell near offering "choice" (which is pretty much a promise broken by almost every other non-RPG game in recent memory).

Except it's NOT a PS3 exclusive. And why? Because games like Crysis would never appeal to this generation's shallow-minded consolites.

And to speak more to your accusation, do you see PC fanboys dismissing Bioshock, or Orange Box? Maybe one or two, here and there, but in general, no. And why? Because they are good games. Sorry, but PC fanboys almost never hype shallow, misleading, and unambitious games the way consolites do.

Crysis strikes a great balance (at least during the first two-thirds of the game) between the corridor shooter and the open-world game. It had to remain fairly linear in terms of story progression because of the nature of the story, but the open-endedness that it does keep -- the ability to complete missions and accomplish specific objectives in the manner that completely depends on YOUR decisions-- is the most important kind of open-endedness that games should encourage.

Crysis was never touted as an open-world, GTA-type game, and it shouldn't be. It has open-ended chapters, but with linear chapter progression. IMO, that's the best kind of game type out there.

Crysis is too fast-paced and relies too much on aiming to be playable at all on a gamepad. It would have to be dumbed down gameplay-wise and the levels would have to become mostly horizontal (i.e. less mountains, cliffs, etc.) to be a PS3 exclusive, and then it wouldn't be half as good.

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.

Seriously? Didn't you get over the learning curve of balancing it all? Because I had a blast moving through the game using varying tacttics.

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

so what other shooter gives you a non linear level design? why did it take crytek's own game to offer better level design than farcry? 4 years and still no other shooter apart from crysis and bits of hl2 ep2 have open level design. games like cod4 are so boring once you have played it once. cod4 is very out dated, no real physics, every bit of the game is scripted, limited weapon choices, why can't it put a scope on what ever gun I want? pretty average linear level design, can't play stealthy, no cars etc, there is nothing special about cod4 and its clones. crysis makes fps way more fun by letting you chose how to apprach the level. It seems that most people here just want to be told how to apprach the level and run and gun the whole thing, which is boring after 5 games of that.

Crysis isn't non-linear. Its levels are just big. Take any FPS, make its levels bigger and dump a bit more enemies, and you're going to have the same results. That's not innovation; it's improvement.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R., on the other hand, is non-linear.

Man, no one has any imagination anymore.

DragonfireXZ95

Maybe that's the problem, people are so used to having the action presented to them that they can no longer play a game where they are given a bunch of tools and an enviornment and are forced to improvise and create their own fun. Like how when some people are presented with a host of options, they tend to do nothing.

That's what keeps me coming back to Crysis; the desire to do some random crazy crap and see what happens.
