PC GOTY - Crysis vs. World In Conflict

Who do you think deserves the titles of PC GOTY more, Crysis or World in Conflict? Discuss. FYI- My vote goes to the innovative and interesting WiC, over the not-so-innovative and interesting Crysis.musicalmac

I dont agree with your statements so Im not going to vote. Even though I would still pic WIC.

crysis...though WIC is more inovative...

but really...the Orange Box should be up their also...since its much more popular on the PC than on consoles....

Crysis was a joke of an RTS game, no strategy involved whatsoever. I have no clue how it got a 9.5.Chickity_China

It depends. How do you define innovative???

I'm pretty sure if we ask Jason Ocampo, the guy that reviewed both, he's say Crysis off the bat.

His review of it was filled with nothingbut massive praise.

Taking nothing away from WiC, but Crysis has this one on the lock.

Unlike Crysis, World in Conflict did something new.

Now Crysis is just totally amazing in its own right, but it didn't really do anything new and it really left me wanting more. World in Conflict didn't do that. Itwas solid all the way through to its end where it had a really good sense of closure yet still left open for a sequal.

On top of that, the developer Massgate has been the best for the community ever. The game has been out for not 2 months and already they have had 3 updates fixing glitches and refining the gameplay to balance it. They also added a broadcast tool and a movie making tool so you can script cutscenes. Now they added a map maker which is extremely powerful.

The mutliplayer in Crysis doesn't feel as solid as that in World in Conflict. Crysis's multiplayer feels like it is missing something, while WiC's is just flawless.

Also World in Conflict took away resource management in RTSs and made some of the most stratigic and intense gameplay we have ever seen in an RTS.

I am still wondering how WIC got such a high review. I got bored after the first mission.Deihmos

Why did you get bored?

I just didn't find it interesting. It was all about defending this or go here and recue that. There is little strategy involved and I am not into these kind of games online either. Maybe I will reinstall it one day but my first impression was this game is lame.

....:oops:

I tried WiC, did about the first two campaign missions. I was almost turned off by the difficulty of it believe or not - maybe I'm just used to the overly simplistic nature of Company of Heroes. I want to give a try again, probably will during the holidays, but I just don't see how Crysis doesn't have this on the lock.

Maybe Gamespot should put Jason On the Spot! and ask him which one he thinks is better.

What? The first mission is you getting your ass out of Seattle. Of course it is going to be go here and defend or go and save these guys, that is what is going on...

It really isn't that hard. I blew through it on medium, yet I played in the beta. The game really requires stratgy to win.

Dude that's just you. I found the camera controls and movements across the battlefield difficult and tiresome, but I realized how insanely awsome that would be when you master it.

I played at least an hour. just not my kind of game...I will prefer to play company of Heroes.

Crysis.

And your sig is seriously the single greatest sig I've ever seen.

Well since GOTY is guaranteed to be a PC game this year I am gonna have to go with Crysis cause WiC is good, but I am not a hardcore RTS gamer. Good to see Crysis win GOTY though cause after all it does deserve it. Haters have been owned.MadExponent

How does Crysis have it? Just because you aren't a RTS gamer?

Do you even know about the gameplay in World in Conflict. It is the farthest from a standard RTS ever, that is why it is so good. It departs from the rest of the genre. It dulls down BS part of RTSs (resource gathering, building bases, and upgrading units) and just throws you into the battle.

Crysis didn't do crap new. I am on my 2nd play through of it, I know. It looks amazing, it plays amazing, yet it lacks innovation. Sure the A.I. for the North Koreans is dynamic, but you still shoot them in the same ways you shooteverybody inevery FPS ever. Also the levels were linear although they were open ended.

Now if we just compare single player portions to the two games, Crysis will actually win because it is more open ended than WiC. World in Conflict was amazing because it was sort of open ended, yet it was still very linear. Though it had a definite ending, was longer, and overall more satisfying.

But we can't just compare single player portions, we need compare mutliplayer as well, this is where Crysis falls on its face in comparison to World in Conflict.

Power struggle is by far the best online mode I have ever played for a FPS, but domination is the online mode I have ever played for a RTS ever, not to mention the other two (tug of war, and assault). These modes are all completely new. No more build up your base and destroy the enemy, that is done, it is all about dominating the map buy coordinateing with several teammates, each playing a distinctive role.

On top of that there is an amazing stats tracking system, medals, ranks, and the best community support by a developer ever.

Crysis's online mode pales in comparison to World in Conflicts online mode.

Yeah it is very underwhelming. Kind of disappointing really.

I voted for Crysis, because it is Vista Dirext X 10's first killer app. Also because many people would buy a new PC just to play it.Lazdude

That doesn't change the fact that it didn't do anything new at all WiC is a DX10 killer app that nobody knew about.

What was so innovative about crysis?

Don't know so I won't vote.

But, it'd be great for non-shooters to win.

I have played through it once and am on my second time through, what did Crysis do that no other FPS before it has? It is an extremely solid game but not really innovative.

You do know that Ground Control 1 & 2, who were both made my the same dev of WiC, are very similar to WiC, right? WiC doesn't do that much new. It's ok, but it lacks enough depth that will keep people playing for years. CoH is much better IMO. I never get bored of that. That's just my opinion though.

Crysis raises the bar to a whole new level in terms of the standards for the FPS genre.

World in Conflict raises the standards of RTSs. It shows that you don't need to be very slow paced and focus on resource collection to be a RTS.

Yeah and I have explained several times why WiC is the better game. Not just because it is innovative, becuase it is a more well-rounded game than Crysis.

It combined a whole lot of things that were done before and puts them into one game. It does everything very, very well. FPS's are much more difficult to make innovative. Crysis raies the bar to a whole new level.

WiC doesn't do anything drastically new. Have you played GC before?

Tell me how Crysis raises the bar save physics and visuals. (Because those things could be done by any dev if they wanted to trick everyone into buying new rigs, much like the crysis team did.)

Not really. It was just a different type of RTS. More of an RTT, which have been done before. WiC lacks depth when compared to recent RTS's like CoH and M2:TW. It's fun for a while, but then gets old pretty fast. There just isn't that much to it.

Read the reviews.........

Most people who actually said they were voting for Crysis stated not really liking RTSes as a reason. Though the one said it was boring after... the first level.Jandurin
