I dunno. Every time I saw a gameplay video, the physics and graphics sure looked impressive, but the gameplay seemed bland. My roommate got the game, and I frequently checked in and watched him play, and I heard the same thing I've heard from most people who played it: the beginning kicks ass, but then the aliens show up and its meh. You don't even need to make use of all your suit powers (which is also just poor game design). What I saw honestly didn't make me wish I had a computer that could run it, just made me think "uh huh, enjoy your game that still runs a bit choppy on lowest graphic settings and at least starts well. I'm gonna go play one of my 20 excellent games for 360 that run without a hitch and are fun the entire way through" (though I worded it in such a way as he's constantly bugging the shit out of me about how "PC games kick console ass" and such).Melaisis said:Anyway, it seems that - unlike the majority of this thread - I seem to be the minority in the sense that I've actually had the distinct pleasure to play this game on a PC which is capable of running it (not my own, though). Crysis, in a word, is superb. People say that its not all about the graphics? Well that's true, but they certainly do (alongside the grotesquely good physics) make for a far more enjoyable and fun game, rather than depthy.
Also, I'm honestly not that surprised about a sequel so soon, now that I think about it. These are the guys who made FarCry, a game hyped for its visuals, turned out to be disappointing, and got a million and one sequels that ranged from meh to vomitous.
