IGN au REVIEWS CRYSIS=8.3!

I would have given it an 8.5 here. Had fun with the demo but it quickly got boring and a chore to play. Theres just nothing interesting about its setting, characters/creatures or story. The gameplay was great and the graphics were unrealised and out of reach.

To the hermits putting "9.5 /thread" Halo 3 got a 9.5 at Gamespot AND at IGN but you still fail to realise that. Hypocracy for the loss.

Pro_wrestler

What are you talking about? The IGN that gave Halo 3 a 9.5 gave Crysis an 9.4.

[QUOTE="whocares9"]

Anyways, I thought IGN gave the game an 9.4? What is this AU? Australia? whocares? Lets face it, all this review does is complain about the system requirments...if you can't stand the heat than get out of the kitchen. The game is no standard shooter with out the eye candy it is a mind blowing open ended shooter. An absolutly amazing game. In-fact we can now pick out which game sites are fan boys simply by the score of Crysis because it is obvious that anyone who scores Crysis low is either one of these two people

A: A person who has not played the game

B: A person who is jealousy because his PC sucks.

This case with AU IGN it seems to be B. I can play the game fine and I am not running SLI....I must be part of the 0.2% :roll: lol

That reviewer should look for a new job. Maybe reviewing food recipes might be more up his alley.

Polaris_choice

Um the reviewer had the best single GPU solution on the market and it ran like crap and yes it does ive seen it myself. If you need a top of the line SLI setup to play a game the way it should be played then yes thats a hinderance. And yes system settings should effect a games rating . Some people have better things to do then spend over 2 grand on a gaming pc.

The truth is though that the game runs fantastic on even a 8800 GTS(320mb) like mine. Some people have this brain disfunction that tells them they have to play a game on full settings to enjoy it. Crysis was made for future generation PCs as well as this generation PCs...Crytek doesn't expect people to play it on high but they do boast about the highest settings...hell I would too. System settings should NOT effect a score because as soon as a better GPU comes out to run it the score becomes logically void and uselss...and what about the people who can max it? how should they view the score? The reviewr is clearly bitter that his PC sucks...sorry but old news with these Crysis haters with sucky PCs. Also some people try to run some insane resolutions, they are themselves to blame.

I don't think it's a coincidence that 90% of all of the criticism of Crysis seems to come from people upset that they can't max it out on their computers and play the version they've been seeing in all the preview videos.

How do you know what the settings I run Crysis at look like? Ha! No common sense for the loss! Medium/high settings in Crysis look better than halo 3 and also are much larger environmets.

I would so agree with this except that "second best" in this case is still better than all other games.

By the way Cevat said himself in an interview before the game was launched at a 8800 Nvidia expo that the game would bring the best 8800 series cards to their knees. This was a gamespot interview I believe.

I don't know either. IGN US themselves said:

They've created some amazing technology that's scalable enough that many gamers will be able to play it on some setting, even if it isn't the best, and have a good amount of fun.IGN US

I also found this funny. IGN AU started off the review with:

For mere mortals, Crysis chugs. There, I said it. Those five words clear up years of speculation and misinformation.IGN AU

And IGN US said:

In those rare moments where things began to chug, it was an easy enough thing to simply change the resolution for a minute, which can all be done in game, while loaded into the game, which is another terrific feature that's sadly missing from so many other titles.IGN US

IGN AU just comes off unbelievably retarded, any way you slice it.

I see where you are coming from but would it make you feel better if they just called medium/high settings very high and simply never included very high settings? That is the real question here than because I wouldn't..I wouldn't mind if the game went even higher than this.

Achieve what? The only thing it went to achieve is to be the best shooter made thus far and pretty much anything above medium settings does that. The demo didn't even scratch the surface of this game. I have been playing shooters for nearly ten years now and this finally kicks half life 2 off the throne and makes it its own. Let us not nit pcik things just to find a flaw, pulling for straw is nothing something anyone should do. This is the best shooter made so far...unless you don't like shooters in general I do not see how you cannot enjoy this game.

In story no, in gameplay no, multiplayer no, AI no, sound/dialog no, sales no, etc. The only thing crysis excels at is graphics and only the highest end PCs can experience that. I agree with the 1up review and IGN Au review.rexoverbey

As someone who is playing BOTH right now.

Gameplay Crysis CREAMS Halo

MP is arguable - both have their merits

AI - Crysis BEATS Halo again. Halos crap friendly a.i makes it pale in comparison. The NK behaviour in Crysis is increadable. Better than the same patterns Halo 3 ai has.

Sound - You kidding. Musical score - Halo - Sound is arguable.

Sales - :lol: Wow you really are grasping for straws.

The big difference between dellusional people like you and myself is that I have Crysis and Halo 3 with me, playing, right now.
Oh that and im not blindly subjective.

Oh and IGN AU gave Halo 3 8.9, Game Critics have Halo 3 7/10 - I could go on.

Well my system runs the game great at DX9, forced Very High (through config files), and rarely drops below 28fps.
Res 1240 X 1024.

And the game is insping to me. The first level was damn amazing, even if it is a throwback to how other Far Cry levels were - like Fort. The A.i, the gameplay, the visuals, the physics - its all there.

If anything all this Forum talk made the game much more impressive to me.

For all we know he could be trying to run the game at 2000X1900 resolutions, on Dx10 vista, Very High, Full AA, with a single 8800GTX - because 'its the max' for the game.

His 'review' is worse than a juvenile fanboy SW rant, of the standards of a year 7 student.

:lol: I must have really angered the hermits with this thread...because I made this days ago, and it's back up on top of the SW board...:lol:

Guys, the fact of the matter is that Crysis is running for GOTY 07, 'nuff said.Who gives a stuff about one persons decision upon the game?

P.S: Go Australia, all the reviewers down here didn't buy into the Halo 3 hype like practically everyAmerican didand some sites gave it as low as 8! Saying that "If you've played Halo 2, you've played Halo 3". Which I think is darn right.

Something must be wrong with his PC. I've got a 8800GTS 320mb, 2GB of RAM, and a E6400 @2.9ghz and I can run it on high settings with a few things on medium. I get around 25-40 fps. trix5817

i can't believe i'm already hearing people talk about an 8800GTS as middle of the road stuff.

Well there's obviously something wrong with their PC since I'm running the game at medium/high(mostly high ecxpet for shadows and a few other stuff) at 1280X1024 with AA on a E4400(Oced to 2.5 Ghz) a 8800 GTS and 2 gigs of ram. The FPS never or very rarely dip under 25 FPS.

^^ yeah food one :rolls eyes:

Anyway bought this on thursday and it isnt bad, id only score it 9 max though. SOOOO many bugs it is just frustrating. Scripting errors left right and centre, i had to re-d0 the final level because of a scripting error which was beyond frustrating. Performance wise it runs ok with mine, dx9 tweak to max settings cept shadows on med and get 25-30fps avg. but this game needs a serious patch and fast.

Still I think this Crysis review is bogus, and increadably poorly written.

Awesome gameplay, and multiplayer is ignored, and the sound is disregarded.

Its pretty hard to disagree that the review iself is appaling
