I'll believe it, but it does surprise me. It seems kind of naive. That, or they've somehow determined that we'll be reaching the apex of visuals pretty soon - I mean, Doom 3 is four years old, had tan-fastic graphics at its release, and... Well, it's not lost to the ages, but it wasn't precisely long-lived.Chrinik said:
Crysis, Why The Hate?
- Thread starter Flangle

Yeah...they could have made Crysis the "Perfect" Game if they would have employed as many story writers as grafic designers...
And the Cry Engine always has been about "Open World which looks fantasticly awesome but is a ***** to play!"
And its not Naive...think of it, people buy Crisis now because of the Grafics(Crisis is even used as a Benchmark^^) and lets say in 3 Years, someone buys it, sets the Grafics to Very High and it still chucks when theres 5 enemys on screen...then a year later someone buys it, and he can play it on Very High totally fluent, and people will still say it looks like liquid gold...THAT IS good PR for a company...but they took all the feedback given from Fans for Crisis Warhead, even changing the protagonist to the most liked (that Rough guy...what was his name again? Psycho?) and maybe thats a title to look up too...

Crysis IS a bad game...
If 99.95% of the populations computers could ACTUALLY run it, then I'm guessing it would be a great game.
Don't say 'Well, you have a bad computer then', 'cause you know what? I have an average computer, i have the same computer as about 90% of the population. I didn't build it (Would have no idea how), i bought it from a shop. It can run other games (I.e CoD 4), but not freakish Crysis. If your computer CAN run crysis it is NOT normal and NOT an average computer.

Ok, I ran crysis on medium settings and it looked great. My computer is actually below average according to 3Dmark06 so if you cant play this game on at least low settings (where it still looks pretty damn great) then you need to buy a new computer, now.
I have mixed feelings about crysis overall. I've only played it once through and the only review/preview that I had read about it before jumping in was the review in pc gamer were it was awarded a 98% so I had high expectations for it going in and was under the impression that the graphics were spectacular, the AI was brilliant and the sandbox style game play was a gaming breakthrough. Needless to say, I was *slightly* disappointed. Obviously the game had some problems; the guns were annoying to use, sort of like Halo, unlike COD4 in which I enjoyed using the guns, the AI was not brilliant but was very good, the graphics were spectacular even on medium settings, and overall the game was very enjoyable.
Crysis does 3 things really well - graphics, sandbox style game play, and most importantly - pretty much completely destructible environments that add to the sandbox style game play. If you didn't like the fact that you could lead enemy soldiers away from the area you are trying to get through, take them to a gas station, stealth mode around them to a vantage point as they walk around looking for you, shoot the gas pump and orgasm all over your monitor, then you simply are not human.
Crysis deserves game of the year because it lets you complete your objective how ever the hell you want, even if what you want is to drive a truck into a house, knocking the walls down, then walking out shooting the engine and blowing the Koreans to hell.

You obviously haven't played Crisis, and are just trying to agree with reviewers.TOGSolid said:
I dunno if someone already mentioned it cause I got bored after 3/4 of page one but I know some people have had qualms about the lack of variety in the weapons when I found them to actually be quite good. People will sight that there are 2 pretty much similar assault rifles when I found they are so different its not funny. The SCAR was far superior to the AK but only in certain ways. I always put it on single shot with a laser pointer and sniper scope. That way you either one shot them in the face with the scope or 2 quick and accurate shots to the chest. The AK on the otherhand was much better if you put on the assault scope and put a 5 round burst at their head which usually resulted in a kill. Plus it was the weapon to have for a bit of rambo work which is very useful in some of the situations, like when you go invisible behind that tree and 5 come running up looking for you. I would go on but im sure most people have tl;dr by now so thats just my thoughts.
O and WOOT for my less than a weak old new PC which runs Crysis on full ULTRA HIGH settings. O MY LORD THE GRAPHICS! I play airsoft in the woods weekly and they looked better than the woods I play in lol.

Oh em gee I have a disenting opinion that doesn't suck Crysis's cock!!! I must obviously just be parroting things I've read!!1oneeleven!Aries_Split said:
Except for the teensy weensy fact that the gaming reviews I've read have cast Crysis as the second coming of christ and the dawn of a new age in gaming.
When I played it I found it to just be Far Cry 1.5. "Oh hey they added some gimicky suit powers wooo." The weapons still felt lifeless and low powered, the enemy AI was sadly still too easy to predict (so easy to bait with your suit's cloak), and just when I started having fun shooting up really confused people they decide to throw a bunch of non-humans at me. And the vehicles, meh, they might as well have just copy/pasted Far Cry's. Oh wait, they did. And on more of a personal quibble: I don't want to shoot immersion breaking aliens or mutants that wreck the pacing of the game up to the point where they're introduced. I want to creep around the bush and shoot people in the face (oh how my heart pines for thee Far Cry 2. Truly thine sweeping brushfires will truly play a rapturous symphony to my ears).
Yes.Flangle said:
As for the people who say Crysis is "boring bland average" etc. etc. - I think they are fucking weird, how the hell can you have so much at your disposal and have such a huge "playground" - and call it bland and average?
Then there's the mods...
(I'll admit that FarCry 2 looks way better though)
Well my hate came from when i had to buy a new graphics card to play it on the best quality.Overclocking my pcs cpu so it could piece the damn thing together.Then finding out that modders can spank my ass online lol.
Not played but why are people bashing Halo 3? I may be biased because somehow I completely missed the hype on it saving a bus advert saying it would be out soon but I thought it was really awesome and especially once the dumber players have had their turn and chucked it away the multiplayer really shines.
No one knows, except the haters themselves (bastards).Baneat said:
