So at this point do hermits even give a flying f**k about the crysis franchise?

I still care about the Crysis franchise and imho, Crysis has progressively gotten better not worst.Nonstop-Madness

Not anymore. After playing 3-4 hours into Crysis 2 i decided its a generic piece of s*** uninstalled installed Crysis Warhead and played that instead adamosmaki

I had fun with Cysis 2 tbh,but I agree its not in the same league as the orginal.

Dude no one is going to give you a "concrete reason" because it is up to personal preference. You may be the type who likes very linear Call of Duty type games in which you are given one path, one choice and one outcome.

What people fail to realize, that some members already touched on, is the fact that Crysis was AHEAD of it's time. Crysis 3 is clearly being optimized again for a 7 year old console. There is no "future maxing" potential like with the original. I remember developers were supposedly running the game on "dual 7900GTXs" yet said that further optimization would allow one to play the game on high settnigs with a single card. LOL. People spent 3k on computers to get 3 8800GTX cards to play the game at an inconsistent 30 FPS. Yet, PC gamers enjoy that type of ambition and development in a game because they will eventually upgrade and realize the game's vision.

The numerous different paths to take, the ways in which you could destroy the environment to your advantage, the graphics...pretty much everything was very well done with Crysis. The only real qualms would be the optimization on the later levels (or lack thereof) and the bland building textures.

Inherently PC gamers look to developers to push the technological envelope in order to advance their gaming and systems. Right now, outside of a few games, PC gamers are getting ports of relatively fun and good games but games that do not push anything technological...because there is nothing to push in a closed environment (Consoles).

TLDR: Be your own gamer and decide for yourself what you like.

nah crysis series is dead
crysis 2 was just a bad game

it tried to be modern warfare so hard

I do give a f*ck about the original crysis, but the others don't even belong in the same category...

Pretty much. And the fact that they thrw out the original story from the first game in order to not confuse console players when Crysis 2 came out....then they remade Crysis 1 for consoles AFTER crysis 2 anyways >_> mind = blown

Hey,weren't you the one who once attacked me with some "u mirin" nonsense? :P

Nevertheless,well said,I fully agree.Best comment in the thread so far :)

Yes, eventhough Crysis 2 was a big step back from the first one there aren't many FPS that offer the freedom of approach that the Crysis series does.

they love pretty so yes

Yeah because console gamers don't praise games just for their graphics right ? :roll:

Crysis 3 looks awesome, so yes. But I'm still hugely disappointed with the direction it took.

I definitely considered the first Crysis a great PC game. After that it mostly went downhill.The graphics are pretty damn nice though, even now they look good.

To answer the OP's question, no i don't give a flying f*ck about the Crysis franchise. I'd blame it mostly on consoles and their need to profit better, which I suppose I understand but they have lost my interest because of it.

I don't get this blame the console thing when it's the developers who should be jacked up. If console hardware is too limiting, then so are countless PCs with substandard gaming specs. It's bad enough that many substandard PCs are present in so-called Steam surveys.

Everybody does. Crysis kicks ass.

Father please forgive me for I have sinned.

I installed a mod for Skyrim so it would have prettier graphics :cry:

Crysis 1 is good, 2 not so much... and now 3 is Crytek's last game that isn't going to be "free-to-play". I've lost all interest in Crytek's work.

Loved Crysis 1 and Warhead, two was a joke, a casualized console piece of s#^t.

Since it is,

1. Multiplatform (no "PC exclusive ownage" anymore)

2. Mainstream (no hipster love)

3. Not made by Valve (since Valve = PC gaming Gods)

4. and the sequel wasn't as great (which leaves a bad feeling for the third, even with promises of more Crysis 1 then Crysis 2 from the devs)

Then not really, but they still bring up Crysis 1. For good reason too I suppose, it still is majorly beautiful and the gameplay is pretty fun and open, but holy crap is the AI a new kind of stupid without that AI fix mod.

The reason why no one could run Crysis is because it was poorly optimized. C2 and 3 are still graphical benchmarks, generations ahead of the original, yet run better on the same hardware.

your energy runs out so fast that it makes a stealth play through really slow and boring. the armor is completely ineffective too so that makes an all out rush impossible. its also hard to spot enemies in the jungle sometimes but they see you in an instant and i wasn't all that fond of the weapons either. good concept, poor execution. as for MGS the first is a fine place to start as long as you dont mind the outdated graphics. just dont play mgs 4, its a waste of time and you'll leave disappointed mems_1224

The energy runs out fast in Crysis. That was one of the issues addressed in Crysis 2. Anyway, even if the energy is quick to run out in Crysis, it's enough to dart from cover to cover and there's plenty of cover (terrain, trees, rocks, vehicles, buildings, even the grass if you're prone). Your tactics should be geared to take advantage of those.

Useless? Punching a truck in strength mode as it tries to run you over is useless (strength mode also stabilized all weapon fire)? Speeding through the jungle or water was useless? Cloaking inside a bush (by the way, foliage actually hid you from view unlike in Crysis 2) was useless? Armor mode to protect you from damage was useless? Crysis 2 added a nice feature (climbing up objects) but removed some of the functionality elsewhere, like removing traditional speed and strength modes...essentially removing them altogether

Not to me. I found enough uses for cloak, strength and speed in crysis/Warhead. Same goes for creative use of vehicles. The lack of the latter is one thing I miss in Crysis 2. There also seems to be less cover available in Crysis 2. That made the longer cloak time essential. Plus, I never found much use for armor mode in Crysis 2 either.

Cloaking lasted shortly only if you were mindlessly running around.But chances are,if you're taking a stealth route in a game,you won't be running around,right?

Instead,you'll stay crouched,or walk slowly...

As for armor mode,pick a higher difficulty,and enter a firefight against several enemies without it...

You won't last 5 seconds.Armor gives you a fighting chance...

I'd prefer having strength mode as a toggle so I can punch and kick things at will instead of when the game tells me i can

Yeah,also,punching and jumping takes less time in Crysis,while your strength mode is toggled,you just press jump or melee buttons,you don't need to hold them for powerful punches and higher jumps,like you must in Crysis 2...

The abilities themselves were fine, but were thoughtlessly implemented. Armor mode was your default mode and basically functioned as your standard shield and for whatever reason, your other abilities took from the same pool. Get hit by a stray shot, and all of your abilities are null until you get to cover. In C2, you start in a neutral mode and it's not drained until you actively use it.

wis3boi

Mele functions the same as in C1 except it's more useful as it's easier to land a hit and you can use a power mele in any mode by long pressing (as opposed to double tapping). Contextual meles are for punting objects, something you couldn't do at all in C1.
