To the people who say Crysis is rubbish...

...you clearly have not played it. Because I just did, and its ****ing awesome.

Pretty damn nice tech demo then seeing as how it has 10 hours of fully voiced story, an entire island to explore, dozens of different weapons and enemies, as well as the ability to customize those weapons in hundreds of ways, and one of the most populated multiplayer games in PC gaming...

Squeets

I didn't say the amount of content was equal a Tech Demo..... But Crysis is about as exciting as a Tech Demo..... it's fun to look at it and go "oooohh...ahhhhhh" but then you get into the meat of the game..... and are left wondering "why"..... Crysis is the hot chick you knew in school, really nice to look at, but nothing to like beneath the surface.

Oh and the text in red is sig worthy :| :| :lol:

"Hundreds of ways".... yeah okay :roll:

"one of the most populated multiplayer games in PC"..... LOLthis put the final nail in your coffin.

1) All of the guns/equipment as well as weapon attachments make 140 possible combination (using every single attachment on every single gun 1 time each)... then you factor in the fact that 1: Not all guns take attachments (which removes a few from that number) and 2: The fact that you don't have to have all of the attachments on at the same time... you can mix and match which makes 500+ combinations (on the weapons with 4 attachments)...

2) I have been playing Crysis and Warhead since release... Every game I ever join is full... there are always plenty of people on... Most other games I play on PC (besides TF2/CSS) only have 200-300 people on maybe... and games are always underpopulated...

So I don't see what you are saying here?

1) Those combinations are minor at best, bar the alien tech, which was a good concept, the weapons themselves in Crysis are fine... the mechanics are not.

2) Well ofcourse everygame you join is full IF YOU FILTER BY FULL SERVERS.... pretty silly thing to say. Ironically, Crysis is the most unpopular main-stream PC shooter:

ONLINE RIGHT NOW.

Crysis = Players: 299 / 1,971 (15.17%) Average: 4.10 / 27.00 ... Pathetic.

Quake Wars = Players: 745 / 8,644 (8.62%) Average: 1.83 / 21.29 .... we know how much of a fail quake wars was and still more people play it.

Battlefield 2 = Players: 14,873 / 108,881 (13.66%) Average: 4.46 / 32.63

CS:S = Players: 63,716 / 479,268 (13.29%) Average: 2.20 / 16.57

Americas Army = Players: 2,274 / 20,710 (10.98%) Average: 1.96 / 17.87

CoD4 = Players: 33,044 / 286,286 (11.54%) Average: 2.29 / 19.84

CS 1.6 = Players: 147,669 / 918,430 (16.08%) Average: 3.07 / 19.08

Unreal Tournement 3 = Players: 546 / 8,310 (6.57%) Average: 1.03 / 15.74 ... god even this fail of a sequal has more playing.

Medal of Honour Allied Assault = Players: 1,352 / 15,833 (8.54%) Average: 1.68 / 19.64 ... A TEN YEAR OLD GAME....

Sorry, I'm a big PC supporter but I will never defence Crysis, beyond its graphics and sand box nature, it was a repetitive single player, lack of presentation, and the multiplayer was an unbalanced mess... and it shows, most of the other shooters not even on the list above have players.

I'd be willing to bet that the majority of people bashing it have never played it. Superb single player and multiplayer. So good that the original Crysis's multiplayer is still played heavily while Crysis Wars has even more players.

People can say what they want but, like CoD, Crysis is a timeless game. It's one of those games you can go back to and still enjoy and play differently than you played the first few times you beat it.

Admittedly the multiplayer was a bit of a mess. Its design on paper was great, and worked in practice until the flaws began to really show (pretty much why I stopped playing it - that and cheaters became too frequent). I guess Crysis Wars has addressed the most of them, from what I played it was far more polished, less buggy, balanced - and its gameplay felt tighter.

Other than that... lack of presentation I disagree with. Crysis had a high degree of it. Even the cut scenes were well produced, the audio / visual was superb, and the interface was mindfully done.

He's the best example of people hating on a game because of what consoles it's on that's not banned at this time.

I didnt like it very much. it wasnt as fun as killzone 2 or other good shooters andall it had wasits graphics but the art style is pretty boring so i didnt get the visualmaster piecei was expecting.

There are two reasons for people saying its rubbish:

1) They have not played it but say they have, or based their "playing" it off gameplay videos and,
2) They have different tastes in shooters and are biased against ones that don't hold your hand from checkpoint to checkpoint guiding your every move.

Crysis=FarCry2 2 boring games

What's a problem is differentiating between people who generally dislike the game; and platform biased twits hating on it just for the sake of it.

It helps for people to elaborate on the reasons they dislike the game, just stating it was a bad game with no explanation gets you grouped with the biased hateboys.

I love PC gaming but prefer the consoles. Anyway anyone who say that Crysis isnt great or is not the graphics king this gen is just nuts. Console games can look great (Killzone2, Gears2, Assassins Creed, etc) but Crysis is one generation ahead!

I cant wait for next gen consoles to play directx10 and 11 games!!!

Gotta love system wars. I have yet to see a compelling argument on why Crysis is boring. I see people say that the last part of the game with the aliens and the more linear levels ruin it. Then you just realize, oh I don't have to play those levels, since the first part of the game has such high replay value. Then I see people that say the game is too easy. Duh, try turning the difficulty up? Crysis is the most fun on Delta difficulty anyway. And then I see people say that the buildings break off in squares instead of a more "realistic" way. Who cares? That doesn't have anything to do with the gameplay anyway. lol I went through this whole thread, and I found not one compelling argument, but many people that say it's boring or generic. That's sad. The only real ACTUAL argument I saw was from Verge that the weapons have a generic taste to them. But then again, that's very subjective and not based on a fact of any kind, since obviously many people don't agree with that statement.DragonfireXZ95

Crysis is blah.. I've played it and beat it. Yes.. Yes.. I'm aware my xfire only says I've played 1 hour but I have beat it. There were some good parts but the game is average maybe a little below average. I felt no need to play it again.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R still beats the game on every level. I yet to see why people talk about Crysis over S.T.A.L.K.E.R

never liked crysis. i'll take stalker over it anyday.

Most FPS titles are rubbish. That said, I don't understand how people can say "Crysis sucks" and then tout a title that is a watered-down, crippled version of essentially the same thing (...stuff like Killzone 2). That's platform-specific thinking, and it's foolish.

-

Crysis is one of those games like Deus Ex, where non-PC gamers will hate on it for no reason, tout the console "sequels" as "getting the real deal" (when they haven't) and then, a generation later, will cheer for games that rip off the ideas behind it. Next generation when the technology behind Crysis is in every other FPS title on consoles, people will cheer for it, and yet still hate on Crysis.

Crysis is the best game ever imo, ive completed it around 12 times, so its up there with HL2 and Max Payne 2 on my "mostplayed list"

Warhead is awesome, but Crysis is better,

Iam just hoping for some news on a full sequel, Crysis 2 PLEASE! :D

It looks absolutely amazing, but I honestly think that the people who play it around here have some kind of omega-complex. They feel superior because they obviously have a bangin' computer to run that thing. I figure they have more fun checking Fraps and looking at how good their framerates are rather then playing their game. NAPK1NS

Tech demo's don't score 9.5/10 The only people who say it's like a tech demo are trolls and people who've never played it and have only seen the amazing screenshots, so they presume the game has nothing more than great graphics. Here, enlighten yourself: Crysis reviewBrainkiller05

Exactly.

Perhaps people are just glancing through the review and missing this little emblem. Visuals are hardly the only thing the game is praised for..

Crytek are restrciting their creativity with their Far Cry jungle/island syndrome. I bet they could create an incredible Science Fiction / Horror Shooter. They seem affraid to start a new I.P.

All I can say is that I find singleplayer FPS games in general to be extremely boring (I generally stick to multiplayer.)

Crysis is one of the few recent ones with fresh and entertaining gameplay. No other recent singleplayer shooter really compares in my mind, outside of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games...

Being able to recognize quality is not an opinion. Your like/dislike of a game is your opinion. Your analysis of its quality is an objective assessment.

Reviews are a combination of the two.

If we view things from a philosophical perspective, then there is no wrong or good opinion. Person A enjoys the smell of roses. Person B enjoys the smell of garbage. Neither are wrong or good. Taking a look at it from a objective standpoint would, we both know that the intention of the creator/designer of this existance intended roses to smell good, and garbage bad.

Taste is something subjective. But it requires experience, a developed and sophisticated taste in certain things such as music and movies. Opinions might never be completely wrong, but thats just logic of language, and not reality.

This is the third time I have said this.

Criticising Crysis doesn't mean jack if you don't justify your criticism.

I swear, the number of people who have jumped in this thread just to take a jab at the game; but made no attempt to explain why they think what they do.

...you clearly have not played it. Because I just did, and its ****ing awesome.

dommeus

You're wrong. Even though you played it and liked it, Crysis is only about graphics.

This just proves you have a horrible taste for games. And every other gamer out there who liked Crysis.

Including myself.

We suck at gaming.
