So PC only has Crysis?

[QUOTE="tagyhag"]

[QUOTE="enterawesome"]So what? The soldiers look crappily detailed anyway.aliblabla2007

Er...Is that a joke?

And think about it... even if there's not much detail (which you just proved wrong) there's several thousand infantrymen streaked around the place in a typical battlefield. Even 2000+ Master Chief models from the original Halo would be fairly taxing, and these guys are considerably more detailed than any pre-2004 FPS model.

This is not that far away.

I don't understand what is so impressive about crysis other than visuals. From a gameplay standpoint the game itself was mediocre. Crysis should not be placed on a pedestal as if it were the pinnacle of PC gaming.

Destruction was great since it wasn't scripted, but Red Faction's is better (After all, that IS the game's main draw :P)

Crysis multiplayer sucks.

I also use DX9, since the difference is negligible.

That does suck about the aim assist, but it makes sense being a controller, Crysis was meant to be played with KB/M anyways.

Timing grenades would have been neat though.

I should elaborate that the gameplay wasn't as addicting or hooked you in like Counter-Strike (the pinnacle of FPS). The online for crysis is horrendous, it's just a prettier looking Far Cry.

And yes crysis demolishes any shooter on consoles obviously, I was just wondering why crysis is held in such high regard especially in PC standards, when there is nothing magnificent about it (compared to other FPS on the PC) aside from the graphics.

[QUOTE="wahpedalhahaha3"] destruction could of been better should of let you destroy all the trees not just regular small type tree and palm tree. better destruction like red faction guerilla could of been there. the radar in multiplayer is for noobs you must run direct x 10 mode to have any sort of physics in the multiplayer and everyone only plays direct x 9 mode LOLZ. stupid ass aim assist with controller when using 360's cant turn it off i havent found option. you cant pick up objects in the multiplayer and throw them like you can the single player would of been better. cant time the hand grenades. alot of things could of been improvedwahpedalhahaha3

Including mods: Killing Floor, Neo Tokyo, Americas Army 3 and ArmA II off the top of my head. There's also Natural Selection 2 that's coming out later this year.

Because his opinion doesn't have as much weight as several high scoring reviews do. That goes for everybody here.

I find myself agreeing with you, Crysis was just okay. I tried all these other options and they quite generic and boring, the suit is nice but it really gets old specially considering how fast it depletes and most of it's options were used for simple combat.

Well he obviously likes Crysis if he posted those review snippets, presumably because they mirror his own opinion. I believe he was just making a point saying that just because someone doesn't like Crysis, it doesn't mean the game doesn't deserve the praise it's been getting.

you do realise that you can zoom right in to head height and watch them fight. and it is incredibly impressive watching the battle from ground level especially maxed out, right? :?

Not to mention Keyboard & Mouse support on the PS3. Hell maybe Sony and Microsoft should release Phantom like controllers.

You're not supposed to use your opinions to back things up. :| You're supposed to voice your opinion and THEN support said opinion. Said "support" can include the opinions of other people... like professional reviewers. ;)

If we went with your "tactics", the entire board will be filled with stuff like "Halo 3 sucks because I don't like Master Chief", or "Crysis graphics suck because I don't like tropical settings" or "RTSs don't count because I can't personally shoot people". Without an OBJECTIVE substantiation for your SUBJECTIVE statement, arguments dissolve into a case of people tossing worthless crap at each other and then trying to build on that worthless crap with even more worthless crap. There's no discussion value to be had when there's no objectivity - and said objectivity includes published statistics, like the vaunted exclusives list, and other official stuff... like reviews.

Do you even understand the concept of being objective?

You can't back things up with your own opinion, thats not backing things up.

Crysis can kiss my nuts. These are what PC exclusives this gen have been about, in my eyes:
