Your Thoughts on Crysis

i just finished it( yes hard to beleive but i did) what do you think of it, i loved it very epic and awesome, Thought the story was mediocre but for what it was it was great, Dont know bout you but Finishing it Got me Hyped for Crysis 2 and halo Reach ( i like Scifi Epics)

Fantastic game design, my favourite FPS campaign of this generation. Multiplayer was lacking, but mod support and customization still is phenomenal. This was my impression before I played it maxed out, the graphics just boost it to another level.

now that you have finished it go install the sandbox editor and have next to unlimited fun just messing around.ferret-gamer

I found it to be underwhelming and boring, to be honest.

gunplay wasn't much fun. felt like the suit's power drained too quickly to really help out much. the world is huge and beautiful, but there's nothing going on in it except at your destination, which takes the fun out of exploring. and from what I played, the story wasn't great

EDIT: hmm.. i guess I'm alone on this

It's one of the few PC exclusives I like this gen besides STALKER. I replayed missions over and over because of how well designed it is.

It should be where your Crysis.exe is located. It's called Editor.exe.

To me it was the best FPS experience I´ve had so far in this gen.

It's pretty, oh so pretty!siLVURcross

I'm having trouble getting into it.

I played about 30 minutes, and stopped. Couldn't care to go on. I'm sure I'll get back to it one of these days as my backlog dwindles down a bit more. It's not on the roster currently.

Was pleasantly surprise by the overall presentation and the epic battles that occurs towards the middle of the game. One of the few games that had me going back to the campaign again just to experiment and mess around.

JUST FINISHED WARHEAD AND i gotta say the end was Freakin Epic as hell

I enjoyed a lot of the scenery.

But there wasn't enough variety in landscapes (It's only tropical and frozen tropical...with one alien ship sequence).

Other than not enough aesthetic variety, I felt the gameplay was poorly balanced. I beat the entire game on a higher difficulty setting by turning invisible and whacking people with barrels.

Also; helicopters will follow you no matter where you go. I've tested this in dark water, under dense forests, throughout interconnected houses, etc...

So I feel the AI is also extremely weak.

I thought the game was above average, but not quite 'great' by my subjective standards.

Perhaps just random luck on my behalf, but i have witnessed eerily cunning moments of ai brilliance here and there that has offset the generally average/cheap ai, but then again i dont remember brilliant ai on the many other fps's i have played recently so i guess i can be a little more forgiving in that regard.

It's excellent when it comes down to using its visuals and physics to enhance the gameplay. Really marvellous direction for the first 6 hours of the game.

Well, then the last 2 hours.... whoever was responsible for that part of the game should pray that I don't find out who he or she is.

For an open world with destructible environments, I think the AI is fantastic to be honest.

It's better than Killzone 2 for sure, I'll be shooting at an enemy behind a barrier, and he'll actually jump out of cover into my fire. Now that's dumb, especially for such a linear game. This happens in Crysis sometimes, but it's pretty rarely, as the enemy usually finds cover if he's out in the open.

Stalker had pretty fake AI too. You could run away and hide in the dark, and it would pretend the AI is looking for you, but it was just a trick, the AI always knew exactly where you were. Although the game was still awesome.

Crysis is the only AI where you can hide and the enemy generally doesn't know where you are unless they actually saw you run into the bush or area or whatever. They'll fire at the last place they saw you, and then they'll come look for you, but they don't know where you are unless you come out of cover or start firing at them.

to me it's the Realistic Halo, Great enemies awesome aliens, epic suit. Great voice acting, More than one way to attack an objective. Wonder what it be like if Crysis and halo had a Baby.

If you liked Crysis and Stalker you should get Metro 2033.

Metro is a great game with lots of atmosphere. I think it's graphics are better than Crysis but you will have to see it in motion to judge.

I don't know why, but i have a sneaking suspicion that Crysis 2 will disappoint both hermits and consolites alike both visually and gameplay wise; color me pessimistic. I am hoping for the best though for what its worth.eNT1TY

First i understand what you meant in your pervious post and i agree totally. Second i agree on that feeling. If it is a bit simplified in gameplay in terms of controls and weapons are more accurate and the gameplay is easier and more casual. People who enjoy the game by playing on high difficulities and use all modes, wont enjoy the game.If it does not look as good as the first, then people who liked the graphics wont like it and console users wont like it, if the gameplay is exactly the way it is. The thing is they gonna have to change alot of stuff to make it balanced for both audiencies and if they do, i am not quite sure if it will turn out allright, more of a mess and judging by what most developers do, they wont even bother with that.

The creator said in the last gamespot interview that the game will be the same on all systems and the only diffirence will be the graphics on the pc. Judging by that i guess it will be pretty simplified and dumbed down, but anyway lets wait and see.

However if the pc version has no lean like mw2, then i cant say i will be suprised.

I hope in crysis 2 they use some of the awesome options i just pointed out.

Also as you said the gameplay often felt unbalanced, both in accuracy and hitpoints. Plus sometimes its easy to expose something and sometimes it feels to specific. For example, you can overuse the cloak and easilly beat the game. (Emp or something in crysis 2 or a jammer to prevent you from using it at some point will be a cool idea) I remember in patch 1.2 they increased the damage you cause to your enemies in order to balance the gameplay. In crysis warhead they increased the damage you can take but also your enemies that use nanosuites have increased damage resistance. So hear i am against the soldiers using nanosuits and i wanna use explosives to take them out and the sniper rilfe, i keep shooting and keep shooting and they dont die no matter what. I use maximum strength and they die pretty fast. Also i use the tranqulizer darts and they go down instantly.

What happen to the freedom? To the abillity to play the game the way you want? I wish in crysis 2 they allow you to use a ton of ways and weapons to fight your enemies and there wont be exploits like that. So at the end i thought it was an ok game but by no means a great game

. (I also dont like vampire masquarade for the shame reasons, so i guess you got an the idea, that i dont like unbalanced games that one way of playing is usually far more effective than the other that works like an exploit and makes the game much harder for the players who dont use that way of fighting)

What I didn't like was the gunplay, needs more gore and kick in the weapons.ManicAce

A great shooter, one of the most inventive this generation by design; leagues ahead of the Call of Duties, Halos and Half Lifes for instance. A technical milestone, and a design milestone. All let down a by a poor final third of its singleplayer campaign, and multiplayer that needed stronger support. skrat_01

the best sp fps this gen by some distance for me.

but i really disagree with the criticism the last third of the game gets. it couldn't stay laid back and open world it had to turn into a linear but blockbusting rollercoaster ride for the story to work. so many jaw dropping moments too like when you leave the ice sphere and the huuuuuuge space ship is flying overhead or the huge spider like alien crashing through the cliff face and chasing you down the valley. awesome
