ok so i was listening to some pc gamer podcast and after gaz and others fighting about crysis across three different pod cast's i decided i should give the demo another try. i originally played the demo and thought it needed to much to run well on my pc, i couldn't settle for lower than high settings with max monitor res of 1920X1200 because on my 24 inch the pixlation is rather annoying. but any way, i set it to 1920X1200 on medium settings throughout, and wow, this game still looks pretty darn good in motion, sure certian things are simplified i was running simpler physics among other things but this game still looks on par with call of duty 4 at max settings on my pc, gosh. ok visuals don't make a game, but the technical aspects of this game create the greatest gameplay experiences honestly nothing ever quite hit on the consoles like the pc far cry, sand box carnage on a epic scale, well if you liked farcry come back and try crysis it's better in every single aspect, and not just marginally. you have a nano suit, customizeable weapons, and some wicked sweat AI, the major problem i have with this game is that similar to farcry this game has a mechanic that effectively breaks the AI, and that's the cloak on the suit! that siad it is a neccessity, i played through the demo on delta since it was my third time, and you really need every aspect of the nano suite to have a fighting chance. the enemy AI and enviroments are so real it's simply facinating, i want some even larger levels than in the demo even though mind you the demo level is huge. i just love the fact that i can drive my car through the shanty buildings, knock over trees, blow up shacks with HE grenades, punch through ceilings for suprise attacks, i mean i've played the demo three times, and never the same way each time. gaz complains that the game doesn't have a direction, i love that the game doesn't have direction, it is linear for story purposes but that is it. i honestly don't understand alot of the complaints leveled at the game. oh and i can't wait to play the game on higher graphical settings with a second card installed or something to that effect.
basically i'm saying after messing with the demo and playing the multiplayer beta earlier that Crysis and World in Conflict are my two favorite Games this year and they are pc exclusive for the time being. oh and i also love bioshock and orange box, and guess what the pc is the home for both of those titles even if they aren't exactly exclusive, the pc versions are the deffinative ones.
