[QUOTE="SteezyZ"]You're right, now that you mention it I remember Harbour having it, and overlooking the vista early in the first level. I still stand by my comment that it really didn't add *that* much to the game, just more visual flair (I enjoyed Crysis for being Far Cry on crack).Snagal123
In Relic it changes the very way you have to play. From action to more stealth, well if you want, thats the beauty of Crysis.
It starts sunny and bright and as your progress from base to base goes into a golden sunset, things get harder to see, the enemies start pulling out laser sights. Then you reach the research base and its an escape down a river at night time, with choppers chasing you and enemies everywhere hunting you down until you reach the evac site where you first fight the nanosuit koreans. Which then leads into Harbour and a warzone at night time which goes into dawn and then midday.
Those 2 levels back to back are some of the best use of night/day cycles, yes they are scripted but they are focused and well thought out compared to open world games and their day/night cycles, and most other linear games don't even do it.
Exactly. I remember running in all guns blazing, throwing grenades, shooting rockets. After you enter the base, and watch the cutscene that reveals the Aliens, it turns to night. It then turns into an all out stealth mission. Makes you change your tactics in a blink of an eye. Alright, so I can't be aggresive because I'll need to use my flashlight, which reveals me when I'm cloaked. My nightvision is limited so do I attack, or try sneak away. Running through the forest with your night vision goggles, with tons of NK hunting you was really cool. :D
