The Developers of Crysis must be so proud.

Why would I need to shield myself in the first place? I played it, then I forgot about it.

I don't mind a little linearity in shooters, open world/free realming is overrated and at best only gives you the illusion of freedom. Not that I think COD is a good game or even a decent example.

In other words what was passed as a factual statement comes down to preference when it is questioned.

Quite frankly "forgettable" is a word I reserve for generic/run of the mill games, which is hardly what you could call Crysis.

Why are you arguing with yourself? You're the one who claimed it's a factual statement, then you're saying it's not.

If not for preference System Wars wouldn't even exist in the first place. Feel free to reserve whatever word you like.

[QUOTE="princeofshapeir"] The sound, voice acting, music, and gameplay features of the Nanosuit, as well as the ability to choose how you enter an encounter make the game very fun for me. There's a reason that so many critics liked it, and it's not just because of the graphics. nunovlopes

For me when I played Crysis, it was like "why would I want to enter a fight differently?". Why would I was to find a car and drive 5 minutes just so I can plow it into an enemy camp, or why would I want to spend even more time with the stealthy approach and sneak around? I'm not particularly patient or creative, so I either went with the cloak/kill/hide or just sniping from afar. If I remember correctly also wasn't fond of the traveling time between points.

That's your problem right there. The greatest thing about Crysis is that each player will have a different and unique experience, depending on their particular play st1le. That's more than you can say for most shooters.

No arguments there, the problem when a game offers that much freedom is that results may vary. I just didn't find the various ways to dispatch opposition very fun since they're not necessary as effective and much more time consuming.

Pretty much this, Crysis was a play-and-forget shooter.

for the cod mw generation it was. for older gamers sick of overly scripted and ultra linear shooters it was a breath of fresh air

how so?

shooting mechanics and customisable weapons? check

multiple attacking routes / options? check

option to use vehicles? check

huge open environments? check

sumptuous visuals? check

great game in my book, anything but a "play and forget" shooter

It has been years since Crysis' release and not a single game has been able to top it.

In gameplay, yes they have been topped.... by miles.Mystic-G

[QUOTE="Mystic-G"][QUOTE="AdrianWerner"]By what? Aside from STALKER there are no pure FPSes this gen that can match up to Crysis gameplay from singleplayer perspective. Heck...games like Modern Warfare feel like something designed a decade before Crysis

I don't care to listen to you Console or PC fanboys... I speak my own mind. Sorry... I know that's a new concept around here, I thought I'd give it a try.

[QUOTE="ocstew"][QUOTE="Mystic-G"] Crysis singleplayer is fun like pogo sticks are fun... not something that keeps you goin. At least not for me...Mystic-G

[QUOTE="ocstew"] Are you sure you've played Crysis and not been listening to fanboys.......? Fakeboy much.ocstew

Must be proud of lack of sales due to need of great graphics cards.

Actually Crysis has sold over 2 million.. Andnow a video card you can get for as low as like $120 can play the game at high settings.
