Good job comming back from in my opinion a sub-par review in silent hill origins and making one of your best reviews yet. You have once again shown why you are the reason so many people vist this website.
Zero Punctuation: Crysis
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
Another brilliant review as always. Crysis does look incredible but Mr Croshaw is correct, the vehicles i.e. cars and the helicopter thingy handle like boats and the boats just handle...well....like bricks? Terrible! Other than that and the somewhat lineararity towards the end levels, i think its a good game. And one of yahtzee's finer reviews.
Heres a question, who gives a dam? Games already look excessively good as it is, spewing out pretty graphics is second nature these days since they've had two years to get good at it. True, my comp has no chance in hell of playing Crysis even on low, but then i dont have the money to upgrade often anyway.JakubK666 said:
Crysis is just an example of how good things can look if you have a behemoth pc of legend that would have cost a small island and all the money its inhabitants posessed.
well very funny review but im not sure what you actaully think about buying the game. it seems like you were saying buy it only because it is pretty but that sounds totally unlike you, mr. croshaw, so i am forced to ask, what is your final statement about this game? is it worth picking up?
One of the best games till the aliens arrive, when it loves its uniqueness.
Vehicles are not too bad, but not useful for fight, use them for rushing through, not fighting in, a jeep is not built to withstand firefights... and VTOL was a bit unmanoeverable, but still fun.
Could do with more exploration though.
oh yeah and the game is too short, cliffhangers are no good...

canni wait for next week.Actually, there's been rumors (I sort-of trust the person I heard it from) about a Far Cry 2 that'll be based on an uppgraded CryEngine with even more detailed physics!JakubK666 said:
Oh, and about whining comps;
My comp has a 1.81Ghz AMD single core, 1GB RAM and a GeForce 6600, and it looks completely awful! (I actually bought it in advance of geting a new comp). The sharders could best be described as 8-bit bmp's copy-pasted from Soldat and given a lower opacity in photoshop elements 3.0. Well, that 8800's gonna be appreciated.
At least all the "OMgF ReeVIEw CRYSIS PLAZ!11!!!!1!!shift+one!1" people will shutup now.
All that's left is are the ones screaming "OMgF ReeVIEw COD4 PLAZ!11!!!!1!!shift+one!1".
Fairly decent review to add to the pile. Getting a bit tired of pure FPS/Platform game reviews though ;0
Surprised i havn't seen any spam for RTS games yet.

wow, didn't think this would come...I still expected a little more, maybe a bit on super powers, it's not like that roof-jumping was neglected in AC review. I have more than a few sections in Crysis where I jumped up a 2 story building and knocked the living fuck out of some korean dude before he saw it coming. How many games can you do that in? Ok, maybe most of them, but not as spectacularly.
I honestly heard the alien spaceship part and thought Yahtzee was going to tear it a new one. For those that didn't play it (if there are any here) there is a section of the game where you have very little weapons (like a pistol with 10 rounds and a shotgun with 4 shells) and have to float around an alien mothership beating up giant alien sperms. It sucks balls, more balls than it should for giant alien sperms (I feel clevar). It's not cause it's too hard but you have to chase these fuckers that move 3 times as fast as you, and your only option for killing them is to grab and punch them. The first half of the game is Superman, you can leap tall buildings and run upside the enemy's asshole, the alien spaceship demotes you to toddler in the deep end of the pool...
So yeah...more bashing on the bad parts, more comments on the good parts....feel a little cheated...

Pure sweet awesome goodyness....
When thinking that ZP couldn't make better reviews.
Game itself seems ok... Unfortunatly I have never been able to drewl on graphics since all my computers failed to run the latest games at the time on full ress, so I ignore it.

That may have been the best description ever of difficult flight controls. I'd totally steal it if I hadn't already told everyone I know about ZP!
Thumbs up! Zero Punctuation's really on a roll again since 0rigins =).
Agree 95%, the 5% disagreement is with the vehicle concerns. I did enjoy using the cars and boats. With a little practice, they are relatively easy to control and if you deploy them sparingly, they're great for crossing the distance from one skirmish to the other. The aircraft bit is 100% true though, flying it was positively bollocks and the QA should have definitely tested it more. Much more.
