Crysis is a good franchise because the guy from Crysis 1 dies in a comic book and is never mentioned again.

The interactivity in this game was insane for the time.
*still is

Hurr durr still is

"Halo had the alien guns, don't you want to be cool like Halo?"
Sounds like your trying to peer pressure someone into drugs lmao
God I loved crysis. Not just for the grayficks. The physics were actually really decent though. You could smash up most of the buildings and they'd collapse and shit. Grabbing a dude and yeeting him through the building was pretty dope.
There aren't enough games that let you feel like a powerful badass this way. Like there are tons where you just are outright but...that's boring, it's much more fun when you can do it in your way, whether you want to stealth around and punch everyone to death without being seen or throw cars and shit at everyone like the Hulk it's up to you.
The sense of freedom the game has is great too, wish we got more shooters like that which weren't just a massive map of endless boring tasks, just give me stuff to destroy if I want to and that's it.
Speaking of, Hulk Ultimate Destruction was one of those games where you were a total badass and you could just sandbox your way through any task.
What a wonderful time the mid '00s was for games.
vanquish
@@aestheticswim3397
Not even remotely
@@steelbear2063 well I only said vanquish because metal gear rising would have been too easy
Just Cause series?
It also had really great physics, the gameplay wasn't revolutionary but it's still better than most shooters that are coming out now
The gameplay was great till the half way point actually, but after that..... Yeah......
@Azuma Eijirō true, half life 2 and f.e.a.r had amazing physics now all games have are bad ragdolls that clip into the ground all the time
I remember being able to throw an object or seeing an object bouncing around in a video game without despawning everytime.
I loved throwing barrels at houses with enemies inside. Seeing all the pieces of corrugated iron AND every object within fly was peak entertainment when i was a kid.
Yeah that's great and all but....can it *run* Crysis?
it was the first alien game in a long time where the aliens werent just wierd looking dudes with a gun
this is what im saying they actually look like aliens
I like how you went into "cloak mode" with a flashlight on in broad daylight.
Lol, that sheer happiness at 4:37 when the damn thing actually rolled is exactly why I love this channel.
"Graphics are more important than gameplay"
That's what most of modern AAA game devs seem to believe.
So true. When I saw the name of the video, I went “Take that back right now”
Because people keep buying their games. Just how it be.
@@peril1 exactly. They make it because it sells
And they still look worse than Crysis lol
@@ImWatchingYou69Batman arkham knight looks better.
love how you forgot to remove your flashlight in the first level. Yes the enemies WILL react to you waving a flashlight beam all over the place
Edit: he forgot to detach it in the second level as well
I facepalmed when I saw him go into stealth mode while having the flashlight on.
Miß the days of randomly being able to carry enemies halfway across the jungle.
Played this game for the first time while really stoned I finished it in one sitting and remember like none of it
That's what I did with crisis 3 😁
I played it sober and remembered none of it.
Crysis was lightening captured in a bottle. I had a good time playing the single player, I wish I got to play the MP more.
I see what you did there, CryEngine does have really good lighting
Idk if you ever played Crysis 2's multiplayer, but it was SOLID. Super fun stuff.
_lightening_
Imagine using stealth and leaving your flashlight on.
That's literally the first logic i came to mind
15 years later, and I bet those frogs I threw are still spinning through space.
My man's here has kept me entertained through my COVID quarantine. I just found his channel a couple days ago and I've watched almost the entire back catalog
Oboeshoestwos is good too watch the walking dead play through
Your still in quarantine??
@@THEKILLERJ3W99 Covid didn't go away. Quarantining when you catch it is still advised, especially with new variants constantly popping up because others do not quarantine.
@@JimJamTheAdmin
It didn't go away, but the panic about a weak virus did. I mean yeah it can still kill, but that's like sitting home because you are scared of being murdered on the street
@@steelbear2063 or it's like staying home when you're sick so you don't unnecessarily spread a virus? Are you okay?
Aliens were pretty cool in first Crysis, and I really liked the later segments of the game. But tbh the game was stellar when you were shooting people.
The other crysis games were the same way. The aliens were all bullet sponges bouncing all over. The humans you could actually take advantage of the tactics and whatnot, their squad system was decent and they gave a good and satisfying challenge
@@Gameprojordan
They’re only particularly spongey if you go out of your way to _not_ shoot their weak points.
they were not cool at all.
@@DukeoftheAges
They were reasonably cool
I remember to be surprised by them back in 2007 because i hadn't had the slightiest idea this game was about aliens
I must be that one other person who liked the aliens in Crysis.
Me too and i dont work at crytek
Funniest thing is that comment's that like not so loved things in games trigger a chain effect
I too liked them in 1. What surprised me is that people seem to like them more in 2 and 3. But like why, they are so painfully generic in 2 and 3
@@steelbear2063 no more having to constantly shoot down insta-kill flying freeze squids with a wonky hitbox probably. 2 and 3 we're simpler but far more fun for me.
I really lilked the aliens in Crysis. They were interesting in 1 and warhead but far from perfect and their role could be filled in by the more interesting nanosuit koreans and human enemies in general. With their vast number of vehichles and weaponry as well as guerilla tactics they were quite fun to fight and you could get creative with your tactics on taking them out.
Despite this I still think Crysis 1 is overall the least brilliant in the trilogy.
The human enemies in the sequels just felt so much more natural and were a breath of fresh air because they weren't as frustrating to fight against.
I feel like the 3rd game had the best variety of enemies but was unfortunately enough the easiest in the trilogy.
If they would amp up the difficulty some more then we would get a real good game. Hopefully we see that in Crysis 4.
But seriously if you are in the Crysis community we love the ceph.
In the 2nd game they are very good because they adapt to New York's enviroment excelently and take advantage of their superior technology to outsmart you.
Allthough they are fun to fight in cloak there is a slight problem with the small amount of unique types.
In the 3rd game there are the most types that are absolutely amazing and along with the mines, sentries, pingers and the hacking system in general it makes the 3rd game the best in the series despite lacking nanosuit enemies like the 2nd game and having an average difficulty.
So no, the Aliens definitely aren't bad. It's only a loud minority that overly dislike them.
The worst part about Crysis three was definitely just it was too short.
Nice essay
I absolutely agree with everything you said. I do think the Aliens were interesting and Mysterious to some degree which i found pretty great. Crysis 1 was classic and is a great game but when it comes to enemies and mechanics, warhead, 2 and 3 did an amazing job in putting variety of aliens and humans.
My main issue with Crysis 2 and 3 (compared to 1) is 1) the maps being too linear and 2) the nanosuit being basically 2 modes: 1) Crysis 1 didnt have much open world stuff, but you still were able to choose if to engage a zone or not, and had a lot of flanking options, warhead still had some of that in a minor degree; 2) being able to quickly switch to strenght mode to jump over the roof of a house, punch someone really hard, stabilize your recoil at full auto, break a wall, or switch to speed to get a crazy fast sprint or reload a bit faster, felt a lot better than just Q and E for the other 2 modes and having strenght and speed integrated to normal actions thus consuming a lot less energy but with a much weaker effect... kinda just feels you no longer have to pick those modes unlike crysis 1 where each mode had its clear advantages (at a high cost). For those reasons i prefer Crysis 1 and its pretty much the only game ive kept installed for decades in my PC(s)
@@Andrests22 Crysis 2 was actually supposed to have a wheel where you choose a suit mode to equip and then press another button to enable.
In general you're right but as we know that system wasn't very accessible especially to console players.
I think it can still be polished to suit a modern audience but it needs some time in the oven.
But the satisfaction from pulling off a difficult combination of suit modes as well as using the environment and your arsenal to take out a bunch of enemies was the beauty of Crysis 1.
The funny thing is, Crytek did the "turn-the-game-into-boring-corridor-shooter-at-halfway-point" thing twice... original Far Cry was just like Crysis. Looked great, you were stalking around an island killing mercs, open world etc etc... and then halfway point of game, mutated monkeys with rocket launchers show up and suddenly you in a lame-ass corridor shooter.
Same with Crysis 1... awesome Predator-simulator for first third of the game, 2/3rds of the game are sadly, linear corridor alien shooter.
That is why I've only replayed the first Far Cry only a handful of times. Every time I go "huh, I'ven't played FC1 in a while, maybe it is time to dig up the disk", I first remember stalking mercs in the jungle, handgliding around, sniping guard towers, fighting through a beached aircraft carrier, etc., then I remember running around in a half-flooded basement corridor trying to dodge some humanzee's rocket spam, having to shoot never-ending hordes of mutant gorillas, etc., and my desire to replay it vanishes.
This game got a standalone TC mod called Mechwarrior: Living Legends. Probably 1 of the best & brightest Mechwarrior games out there in terms of scale
Living Legends is absolutely amazing and surprisingly balanced given how intricate and jank everything is. So many roles to chose from. Shame it's held back by a steep learning curve and toxic community.
My first experience with this game was being utterly blown away by how good it looked in 2007 and then realizing my 256mb 8400GS could not get above 5 fps on low everything
The worst bit wasn't even the aliens. It was the awful VTOL flying bit. See, Oboe was so traumatised from that bit he didn't even include it in the video.
Not gonna Lie
Crysis 1 And Warhead was the damn Best games or should I say The legendary games.
I personally loved the aliens, after a couple hours terrifying soldiers as the invisible hulk it was a nice change of pace having me be the one being hunted
I liked that they didn't feel a need to make them coincidentally bipedal. They're cephlapod-like and they have exosuits built for their body plan that allow them to fly around the way they're used to doing in their own buildings. It really felt like their habitat was built for a species other than yourself.
No aliens tedious trash
1's second half is why I liked 2 better, there's better pacing regarding threat escalation.
This entire series was a blast
The streams for these were great!
love hid channel. played all the games i could have played growing and did play growing up!
6:50 number one is how the rain goes right through the umbrella
I was one of the naïve hopefuls that bought Crysis on release, thinking that my PC that chugged playing Serious Sam would be able to play it.
First time I was actually able to play the game was 4 years later when it got re-released on the Xbox 360 lmao
PS: The tank section is the greatest tank section in a video game ever made.
The blacksite area 51 song for cloak was a nice touch.
I used to play this game every time I went to Best Buy shit was insane looking back in the day.
Love that Randy Johnson clip. He does photography now and his company logo is a dead bird with feathers flying off it.
It's Me, the likes the alien parts guy; it's way better than it has any right to be and comes totally out of left field. The change to weird aliens, gravity shenanigans, and snow was awesome and I love the level inside the alien ship.
I'm so mad I didn't find your channel sooner
I thought only dunkey could make a good crysis video and here i am watching you.
Your titles never miss lmao
I played Ryse Son of Rome and it did in fact have the ability to shoot a truck untill it explodes
Crysis 2 was the first one I played. I loved roaming the destroyed streets of New York and blasting C.E.L.L soldiers and aliens. Sneaking around and being an absolute tank.
The music was my favorite aspect of the game. Hans Zimmer did a nice job...even if it's similar to Batman and Transformers. 😂
I'm the one guy who doesn't work for crytech
Me: considers Crysis 2-3 and comics not canon in my fanprojects' utilization of Crysisverse
0:58 pickup truck with sick back fire must be turbo
the first line got me to watch the whole video. and i read it in the subtitles when you hover over a video. 10/10 although I am docking 10 points for having to watch the Crysis aliens
All these years and I never even bothered to see if you could grab the aliens
Oboeshoes is just a science fiction series about a hero who is chasing general badguy but he keeps escaping to new games.
Nice. Always a good day when u post a new video. Thank you
Yeah I guess I'm person 3 who likes the aliens. I just really liked their whole vibe and the scifi fun stuff of how their tech is based on reversing entropy (taking energy from the environment to power their tech, thus supercooling it and using that offensively!). Then in the sequel the aliens are just Ugly Halo Guys with lasers...?
Crysis honestly avoided so many cliches (interesting instead of same-ish aliens, just some guy in supertech instead of superhero legend jesus supersoldier, random tropical island instead of monuments destroyed, etc.) that the sequel just ate the hell up... :/
I never played the 3rd one because they were just "hey everything is bows now".
LIKE THE ALIENS IN CRYSIS ARE SEALED IN THEIR ROBOT SUITS, WHICH MAKES SENSE FOR ALIENS IN AN ALIEN ENVIRONMENT! BUT THEN IN THE SEQUEL THEY JUST HAD THEIR BUTTS HANGING OUT OF MINI-MECHA...
I washn't expecting that nuclear deterrent pun
People talk ill about this game, but I thoroughly enjoyed it myself
I remember all the hype when the game was first showcased. Played on release and it's still one of my favourite game series, but I really liked the sequels more. They offered more polished and focused gameplay. Crysis 3 still looks amazing.
The "Remaster" of 2 and 3 are stellar
I find it hilarious that another gamebreaking bug happened on the final level like what happened to me yesterday playing this for the first time. I got to the final boss and can't kill it because the checkpoint loads saying I already blew up the hatch and I can't lock onto it with the TAC gun so i can't finish the game now. And this is on the remaster.
Cloaking with your flashlight on is kind of hilarious
I love the aliens as much as I love Oboe.
whats the song at 1:07? it tickles my brain but i cant recall what its from 😩
ok so its apparently called Fazendo Bagunca, but its just royalty free so its been in everything, but i know i heard it in a flash game and its driving me nuts
this sure is a good video of Halo: The Master Chief Collection (2014)
I like how he uses cloak but with the flashlight on
Your videos are a ton of fun
Still remember the title theme of the second game going a lot harder than it had any right to.
This commentary here was brilliant!
I remember Korn put out a single for this game.
mfg its so true that everyone hated the alien aspect of the first Crysis games then they just decided that was the formula from then on... ill never understand it
The aliens represent the reverse-engineered alien technology they used to make this game
"You want guarantees? Buy a toaster"
To be honest. You can punch a tree to break it and throw it so hard to kill someone. and then flip a car with a strong ass punch to blow up a car, and THEN decide to fuck around EVEN MORE so you go into the in game editor and just do crazy things. You cant do this in valorant, and warzone...or something
This is the first time I’ve ever heard that there were aliens in this game
I remember when this came out i was hyped for it and ig the newer games are pretty good. But this is the classic for me.
I feel the same way bro.... 1st half great... when the aliens showed up I didn't even bother finishing the game.
They won’t be expecting the pick up cause they’re looking for a Tahoe
Remember when Crysis 2 introduced that ledge grab game mechanic?
First time I saw that one.
This is the earliest I’ve ever been to a video
"Why wont this truck explode!!"
'Liquid nitrogen' clearly written on it..
good one oboeshoesgames
Also that Turtles can be a weapon.
Look on the bright side, the aliens for the rest of the series just became robo squid human enemies instead of the annoying flying gun busses they used to be.
Was the cloak theme from the 2003 Hobbit video game???
The alien weapons in 3 slap
the new wonderlands class specialises in corrosion
i see what you did there with the tree
nice troll :)
Nuclear detergent was clever 😂
Played it recently at max difficulty for unknown reasons,around october,crahsed 6 times just where you did on the last fight,i just watched the cutscene on yt fuck that. Amazing game.
>shooting a tank labelled Liquid Nitrogen
>why isn't it blowing up reeeeee
It wasn't the graphics.
It was the fact the devs gave you the ability to use all the tools how you saw fit.
👌
It’s most certainly were the graphics. People are just too nostalgic over this game.
@@PhyrexJ not just the graphics but the scale of everything. The game felt big and the scale of destruction was super awesome.
Great phisix, good ragdoll, rock solid gunplay, a good story and good characters..
How it's possible to say it was only graphics??😅
Got this on EA play once it was pretty fun
I love that the video is listed as a Halo video.
Why wont the truck blow up?!?!
Truck: Liquid Nitrogen
Art direction is above all else what makes a game to me
I don't think hotels have people who only fluff pillows.
I’ve had this game downloaded for so long but have never played it, i have a series X so im hoping it will look really good
Damn, I was just playing Crysis 3 under that logic there must have a video about area 51 blacksite soon
1:03
Uhm... Did you actually forget to take off the flashlight attachment? Or are you taunting us old school Crysis veterans?
God I love crysis
I had a tube TV and a ps2 and then when Crysis 3 came out I got a ps3 and a flatscreen and it blew my mind
Requesting you play Cabella’s Dangerous Hunts! It’s a fun hunting game
Can't wait for C2
Crisis is like predator jungle city
I just watched the 2nd channel video and thought.Hwen is he going to play crysis?!
I took lots of shrooms like 2 hours ago and jus currently got out of the underwater cave alien tunnel was definitely a trip😅💯🙌first time playing.
I'm surprised they still not fixed the last level crash bug, it makes the game unbeatable. The workaround if you always get crash on last level is really easy, just add -dx9 on your launch option/parameter. It will force to play at directx9.
