[QUOTE="drinkerofjuice"]You're saying hermits let you down, but you're basing your experience off the console version of the game, and not the PC.Master_ShakeXXXFrom what I have seen and read, the graphics and controls are the only difference between the PC and console versions. I'm basicaly playing the same game, only a much uglier version.
The Controls make a big dffrence in crysis 1 the suit controls and gameplay with a m/kb in crysis 1> crysis 2 nano suit and gameplay with ethier any control method. and to a lesser extent graphics do matter it provides greater immersion in the game and it's what got me to play the game again to try out various mods after I upgraded my pc but the awesome gameplay and open map design with various ways to take down the enemy koreans is what hooked me to continually replay through the leves for fun. I raked up over 80 hours of gameplay on the sp of crysis 1 alone crysis 2 including the mp didn't even last me half as long before I grow tired of it.
I liked them both in their own ways.. I think they are both solid shooters.sSubZerOoThis. Crysis 2 is a great game, these fake PC gamers in here claiming Crysis 2 didn't compare to the original can stop pretending. Both games are great.

Who are you calling fake?
I like Crysis, Crysis: Warhead and Crysis 2.
They're allfun games.
The original just happens to be one of the best shooters ever made while the sequel is just a good shooter.
So you're basing your entire experience with Crysis on a console version?? Well, you've said your piece (even though it's completely skewed) so you can now go back to runthrough #824 of Vanquish.

Why would I need to go back to Vanquish when there has been plenty of excellent 2011 games for me to experience?

From the gameplay videos I've seen its still has the same nano suit controls from the 1st game..... Is that right ? And I liked all 3 of the crysis games. Even if the story in all 3 of them are terrible.

Crysis 2 was an inferior sequel and game over the 1st, graphically, ability, design, controls, and story. Only casual Pc gamers and consolers liked Crysis 2 because it held you hand through the game and its simple and linear, the game had no depth.
Shake, I think you liking Vanquish is a fluke. It has to be. Because if you think Crysis 2 is better than the original game than you just lost all shooter priviledges.
The shooter community demands an apology, lest you choose to be banished forever.

I'm not saying I don't like Crysis. It's pretty damn good and still a hell of a lot better than the usual crap. C2 to me just seemed like it had a lot more direction and vision behind it. Maybe if I experienced Crysis first my opinion would be different.

I wonder how long this thread will go until people realize its opinions vs opinions.. No one is right though somehow people go on to call people fake, chaterize "hermits" disrespect people or even chastize those becuase they felt crysis 2 was bad... System wars at its best.

Where would the the fun be if everyone got along in SW?I still think Crysis 2 was good,but it was garbage.
Crysis 1 is still my favorite.Well,make that Warhead.More explosions and stuff.Lto_thaG
This is my preference too, Crysis Warhead > Crysis > Crysis 2. I can see why a console gamer may share the TC's opinion though, Crysis 2 was a bad console port and I wouldn't have thought Crysis made a smooth transition to consoles.
You're playing the dumbed down version, with bad controls, bad nano-suit 2.0, pathetic LOD, **** graphics, and you claim you're playing the same game PC gamers enjoyed? Bravo.
Not a great fan of Crysis personnally, but the first part trounces any console fps I've ever played. And I've played quite a few.
But then again, console-only gamers are fond of corridor shooters. So having all those possibilities, those choices to make... That must actually not feel fun to you, rather puzzling.
Too bad Crysis didn't push the sandbox aspect further. Worse, the fact that Crysis 2 abandoned the idea of being true to that identity, and went for something much more mainstream (and boring).
I agree that the last third of Crysis is much worse than Crysis 2, though. It's amazing how Crytek decided to leave aside everything that made the game good in that part. fighting the aliens was boring, and the finale was abysmal.
milannoir
Actually one of the reasons why I loved Crysis 2 so much was because it wasn't a corridor shooter, so way to generalize.

That's the humor in it, yes :PCrysis 1 is a tactical shooter.
Crysis 2 is a call of duty game with nanosuit and aliens.
Oh,and TC,when you are not playing vanquish,you should give call of duty MW2 a try.Exactly the type of game you would like.It has everything you want,a "fantastic vision of a destroyed city",(over the top) story,characters, pacing and "epic" set pieces(read:lame scripted events).
Ok, so I saw Crysis in the PSN store and was freaking out because C2 is one of my favorite FPS. All I ever hear on forums is "dude, C2 sucks compared to the original" or "C2 is consolized garbage." Naturally that got me curious and at $20, I couldn't refuse. Game is all bs hype. What I like - the strength and speed in this game are pretty awesome, and I can see why a lot of people were upset over their absence in C2. It's still fun to run around and take out enemies however you want. That's it. What I don't like - everything else. The "open world" environment (which it isn't even really open world, so nice exaggerating guys :x) is so dull, generic, and empty feeling compared to C2's fantastic vision of a destroyed New York. Bigger doesn't necessarily mean better, and this couldn't be more true when comparing the environments of these two games. C2 may have been smaller, but it was a hell of a lot more interesting. And how bout dem graphics? C2 is beautiful on consoles, albiet with a few minor technical hitches. C1 on the other hand is one fugly looking game with those same technical hitches multiplied by 100. This is the best Crytek could do on PS3? There are far better looking games that actually ARE open world, like RDR and InFamous 2. The biggest annoyance though is that C1 doesn't even feel like a game, but more like a tech demo. Where's the story, characters, pacing, epic set pieces, etc? C2 had an excellent campaign that moved at a nice pace with atmospheric environments. The gameplay felt smoother and more varied in C2 as well. Crysis - 7.5 Crysis 2- 9.5Master_ShakeXXX

.....Shake... I am disappoint.
We have much to teach you. Much.
But it's OK. Neon still likes you despite your faulty preferences. :P
You're saying hermits let you down, but you're basing your experience off the console version of the game, and not the PC.drinkerofjuiceIt's not gonna make any difference. It is the same game after all...unless if you're implying that Crysis is just a tech demo.
To truly experience Crysis, it has to be done at Delta difficulty, with a keyboard and mouse, Everything max, 1080p and with either the Natural Mod or Lifesis 2.
Having played both Crysis on the PC and PS3 (Though not finished with the PS3 version and with good reason) the controls while being playable, completely destroy my ability to seamlessly go from power to power in a split second, it makes for a much slower pace of game.
At its core, it's basically the same game. But it's the minor flaws that truly add up.
Kudos to them taking out Ascension though, what a dumb level that was.

i think they had to remove one or two levels also
It was a level called Ascension, and apparently no body liked that level anyways. Wow, I did like that level a lot, and I don't think Crysis 2 was mediocre like most people say....but I like it so that's all that matters to me.To truly experience Crysis, it has to be done at Delta difficulty, with a keyboard and mouse, Everything max, 1080p and with either the Natural Mod or Lifesis 2.

I wouldn't say that. On delta it's almost a pure stealth game, get caught in the open for a few seconds and you're toast.

Ah you just have to learn how to maximize your power potential. ;)They cut entire levels out of the game.topgunmvThey cut out one 10 minute level where you fly a VTOL the entire time.
Crysis had great looks and a nice open playfield. Aside from that it was a very standard FPS. With uninteresting story and very short, though it had one nice twist and change of pace (literally as the storm would slow down my fps to like 2).
The game never impressed me much. It was more a tech demo than anything else, IMO, and even in that regard high settings were incredibly inefficient.
I remember regretting buying it.
Damn, can't argue with that amazing analogy.Crysis was a horrible... HORRIBLE game. And yea, it did feel like a tech. demo. Hermits are like all the youtube music nerds. They go ape sh!t over niche market, trying to justify it as the greatest thing ever but as soon as that niche gets exposed to mainstream media, it suddenly turns into garbage, even if in reality it is actually better in some aspects. Dubstep, crysis1 vs crysis2, BFBC2 vs BF3 being the prime example. Hermits are lowest form of gamers in my eyes.

Sounds like somebody dun goof'd and needs to vent.
There's a reason it won the best FPS award over Halo 3 and CoD4 in 2007 ;)
Well I haven't played Crysis 2 yet, so I can't comment.
From where I'm coming, Crysis is one of my favorite shooters of the gen. Sure, there are other shooters that I've enjoyed much more than Crysis.
The game isn't perfect by any means, and people are right when they say the opened environment is not that significant--I can see why people would imagine it that way. That said, the game still offers you a huge amount of choices from a gameplay perspective--look at something like Deus Ex HR, but in an FPS instead of a hybrid.
The amount of things you can do with your suit powers, in relation to what you can use and interact in the environment is staggering. The game reaches its full potential when you're willing to explore and experiment, and use the powers available in a quick fashion as you adapt to the environment around you.
One minute I can be approaching a situation stealthily while using my suit powers to attract the enemies attention elsewhere, and in the next I might have to be forced into combat mode. In no other shooter this gen could I do something along the lines of this:
Drive vehicle into gas station, get out, shoot gas tank--calls attention toward the spot it exploded. Gets spotted somehow, grabs enemy, shoots one guy--maxium strength--throws the guy on top of the other, throws granedes far off with max strength. Places sticky bombs on a barrel, throws barrel towards a group of enemies coming in your direction while using max strength, explodes the barrel. Uses a mix of speed run and jump to approach your enemies, while using the stealth mode to remain undetected. Takes out tower guards by using max strength and punching the platform they're on. Uses a distant explosion from a grenade used by max strength, to deviate the guards attention while using max strength to take out the enemies one by one without making any sound.
The game expects you to make use of your abilities, and constantly adapt and think about what you can do in regards to the situation and environment that sorrounds you. If you play the game, while using these abilities sparingly, two things happen:
1. The game gets far more difficult, meaning, expect to die a hell of a lot more in opened environments.
2. The game gets boring as hell, because you're playing it much the same way a normal shooter is played, when the game doesn't benifit from that experience at all.
Now before you think I'm saying you play the game that way, and say that I shouldn't assume anything, I'm not. You could still play Crysis that way, and not like it--that's perfectly reasonable. I'm just saying though, that for people to enjoy the game for what it is, they're going to have to be willing to experiment with the gameplay options available to them, outside of the bounds placed by other FPS games.
I know it can be overwhelming at first, since not many shooters offer you those kinds of options when it comes to gameplay elements, but the game gets so much more interesting when you trully start to make these kinds of things in it in a regular fashion, things that you don't find youself doing on any other shooters this gen.
My goodness. I don't even know where to start.
Crysis doesn't rely on linear, scripted events like Crysis 2 does. You make your own moments. And unlike Crysis 2, there is a hige amount of different things to do, and every single objective can be tackled in countless ways. Want to throw turtles at enemies? Check. What to throw exploding barrels at helicopters? Check. Want to take on an entire base with your bare hands? Check. Want to do just about anything? Check.
Please, Crysis 2 can't hold a candle to this.
It may help playing the PC version as well, since from my expreience, Crysis 2 controled poorly on a console.
I dont know why anyone can prefer C2 to C1. I'm playing C1 on PS3 and I prefer it over C2 because of many reasons: 1. The AI. The Koreans are much more intelligent than the Americans of C2. I've never seen them getting stuck in objects or trying to walkthrough walls as the CELL :D 2. The environments of C1 is mouch more open and bigger. I actually got lost for about 1 hour in the river area in chapter 3 (Relic) :D 3. The suit is better. You can use speed as well as normal sprint. And you can move faster in armor mode. Fists are more satisfying than kick. 4. Lots of destruction.Zensword
So the suit is the same as PC crysis?
