Dude, only the first game is worth your money. They had a great intro, & ended with a great setup for the sequels to come. The 2nd game had a great concept; urban jungle; possible use of parkour, urban warfare with the aliens, 9/11 references, etc. they had everything going for it except they fucked everything up by regressing from the Sandbox style gameplay of the first game to a linear shooter like COD!!! Even more uncool is that they kill off Nomad in the lore, & force you to accept Prophet (aka Alcatraz) as the new protagonist & pretend Nomad never existed. Then on top of the aliens, they introduced a new enemy nobody gives a shit about (*cough* *cough* CELL) & devote significant portions of the game fighting these guys in a deserted city. The marines you fought with in the first game? Who cares, they are a non-present in the 2nd game! (Sorry, 2nd game got me really upset cuz i remember at the time really anticipating that game to blow the first one out of the water). By third game, who cares? Combine the two jungles from the previous game? Lame! Just unfuck the previous game & it would've been soo much better. Between fighting CELL, & fighting the aliens, storyline is predictable & uneventful compared to each of the predecessors. It suffers the same fate of Command & Conquer 4; a weak send off to a originally solid concept. & so, as fun as all the Crysis games are, disappointingly the Crysis series just progressively declined in quality after the first game. So moral of the story, all the Crysis games are fun, but if you want your moneys worth, buy the first game, don't bother with the others. It's the version that is least tainted by EA's corporate interests.
I bought Crysis 3 for xbox yesterday. Hunter mode is really fun. I havent played much of the campaign too much yet but the visuals are gorgeous. Beautiful game. I loved Crysis 2 so much that when I bought C3 I bought C2 again . The cool thing is that C3 comes with a downloadable copy of Crysis 1. Now I have all three.
Not sure why people are complaining that the bow makes the game too easy, the cloak has ALWAYS made Crysis easy from the very beginning. Sneak up cloaked, take out targets, hide, cloak, repeat. C2 took it further by giving you upgrades that allowed cloak to function longer, and allowed you to use small weapons with lower penalties. The bow is merely the next step in making life easy for you.
It's only now I completed the game (as a Crysis fan) and I've found it great despite some small irritations, I really loved it. The environment was a wonderful mix of urban forest, I admirad the wonderful decay. To add a lethal bow was brilliant, I used it instead of RPGs. Unfortunately I suffered from "game rage" when I couldn't save a special locations, I find it a bitter thing not being able to save a few spots, that is just insane. I thought there was a bug in the final boss fight but after reading some tips I could finish him easily on Veteran level. One have to supercharge the suit from the powerpacks and use the alien Pac-Grenade launcher, that will do the job. lol. I don't understand though how Prophet went to space and I hate how they changed the Psycho character. Waiting for Crysis 4, the "Island Prequel". (When Prophet went back)
Nerd mode engaged: They actually added some anti- aliasing for Dead Space 3 on PC which effects the lighting in some places, but there is no noticeable difference between platforms which is why I still bought it for XBOX. But the port was actually pretty solid, the devs just said it wasn't because they didn't want to turn 360 owners off.
Yeah, in terms of AI, from Veteran upwards the enemies are REALLY savvy. They spot you the instant the cloak goes down regardless of undergrowth and land grenades with some serious precision. Makes a little recon with the visor necessary, and that's a very good thing.
Crysis 3 mixed the open world gameplay of Crysis 1 with the linear corridor shooting in Crysis 2 to get a well passed, thriling campaign with lots of funny moments between Psycho and Prophet.
I got Crysis 2 for 70 cents from the Humble Bundle and absolutely loved it. Loved the visuals. Loved the professional, cinematic quality that was maintained throughout. Loved the flexibility and simplicity of the gameplay and controls. The story also really pulled through in the end. So is this game worth the 30 bucks?
I have to say that this review was just about spot on, a 7.5 is exactly what the game is. Heaps of people bitching about the 7.5 though, 7.5 = 75%, that's good.
I hope the hunter feel is strong in the campaign like the multiplayer mode. I loved that, and the new New York looks amazing like this. Makes me think about I Am Alive.
Not a very nice review. I for one think that what happens between fights has always been just as important and having to travel to get to action can not be seen as disappointing. If it was all about constant battle with no calm before the storm, it would get extremely boring and repetitive. Half of what he said could not be further from the truth. Fortunately we are all different in our views.
True I find myself skipping battles and walking more than fighting and if I do happen to fight I find it very boring overall I didn't like the game lucky for me I only spent five bucks on this game
I would personally give this game an 8.5. My biggest problem is that the game is only 4-6 hours long (maybe 7 on the hardest difficulty). The game makes up for it with it in graphics and the fact that is still so damn fun. The multiplayer alone makes this game worth every penny, but the SP is still really good. Getting the original Crysis with the game on release date is a bit of a plus too. A solid experience that is absolutely gorgeous, but the campaign should've been significantly longer.
Thanks for jumping in on the conversation. If you read more carefully, I never said that Crysis 1 was better or worse than Crysis 2. All I said was that Crysis 1 wasn't that great of a game. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't groundbreaking or anything.
Last game was New York, Now its New York again in Liberty Dome ,governed by C.E.L.L. You would think Humanity work together to stop an Impending Alien Invasion , A private Military trying to do a World Domination Scenario. 1st Crysis game was my favourite , The Endings of Crysis 1 , Stop Enormous CEPH Warship. 2nd ,Stop a Spore infestation Pod, Crysis 3 ending(Same thing)
Your wearing the most expensive weapon in the world, your deemed near invincible, I'd expect it to be easy, that's what makes it fun the feeling of being that superhero juggernaut.
Same here. Also, I wonder what difficulty the reviewer played on. It's quite a thrill on Supersolider and those final boss encounters end up much more challenging (especially the boss shown at 4:10 ).
Man in my personal case , i just bought this game cause i love CRYSIS series , in fact if you play all the three games one next to the other you will have a very very unique ten days of action nonstop, i mean the game is short but if you take every title as a all is a very diferent experience of what modern FPS deliver nowdays.
The part where he says "Not really". He isn't saying I disagree he is saying "Not really" what is meant as a polite way of telling someone no. For example, "2 + 2 = 5" "Not really mate you're drunk it 2 + 2 is 4" I never questioned why people gave him a thumbs up I was pointing out how people over look what people actually type.
It is a game made for showing off graphics. It's not made to have a good story or whatever. We don't care what you do with your money, it's your money. It is not fair to give it the same points as some other truly good game. Therefore, I salute you, Gamespot.
Didn't you listen to what we have been saying. By pirating, you've gained the ability to play their game without paying. The reason pirating is a problem for people who make digital copies of their games is because if consumers can just get their products for free, it, like I said, makes that action of buying a product useless which does hurt the company. Thousands of people pirating=Thousands of games being played but not paid for.
I quite liked Crysis 3: The Multiplayer is fun, Campaign is exactly the right pace, and the graphics, not as vivid as Halo 4 or as realistic as Battlefield 3, still make the game enjoyable. The ability to experiment with your nanosuit to fit your playstyle and the fact that no one weapon is better at something than another really makes you experiment. Id give it, maybe, a 8 ot
Never heard a crysis fan say that, and that doesn't matter! No Crysis game has ever a sandbox! Where the fuck did you hear a dev say it's a sandbox game? WTF? In a sandbox the player has tools to modify the world themselves and create how they play. Every Crysis player has the same experience in the game. You don't choose if you want to be good or bad, killer or pacifist, die or live. GTA, NSF, Saints Row, every game with a open world, WoW, GW2, most of the MMORPG's, these are examples
Don't know what is worse you telling someone that their opinion is wrong, or 10 people thumbing you up for telling people that independent thought from yours is wrong.
Okay, I'm not talking about C2. I said C1 wasn't that great of a game, and I would say most people agree. Besides being a benchmark for PCs, it didn't do anything groundbreaking or special. It was just an open world FPS.
PC has limitless power, it can take what ever you can put in it. The consoles have set pieces, with some minor modifications occasionally possible. There purpose is to make it easier for people to play together for cheaper, the PCs purpose is so people with more money can have a better experience and have better controls. If only gaming standards are factored in, of course.
a sandbox game has an openworld that it lets you loose in, in world of warcraft, there are linear quests but you can also just wander around the huge world doing what ever you want.
I think the game deserves at least an 8. I would say 9 but I came across far to many glitches. NPCs spawned in random places, I got stuck in quite a few walls, triggers didn't always go off, etc. There were a few lazy enemy types too and not NEARLY as much diversity. It's obvious that this game was more rushed than the previous ones. The original Crysis is still the best in my opinion. But the bow... GREAT addition. You do have to crank up the difficulty to make it challenging though.
"Graphic is nice" He never criticized the visuals of the game. He just said that the graphics don't make the game. At least I think that's the thought he was getting at...
Hey, I love the Crysis series. 1 and 2 were both excellent games and I'm a huge fan. All I am saying is that this was a fair review with valid points. Criticism doesn't make this a bad game by any means.
... ? I'm everything except a "big though guy".. I just remember how amazing Crysis was back in 2007, if someone had told me that a "Crysis 3" would come, I wouldn't have imagine it like this, the game looks great, just not exactly what I expected, and I know this is because they have to make it run smooth on consoles as well.. unlike Crysis 1.. That was an opinion, a.. comment.. because we're in the "comments" section.. :)
I have Crysis 1 - 3.. LOVED this series and frankly since I'm such a picky gamer I never got into the CoD or Battlefield hype. The Crysis and Arkham Asylum/City games were literally the only games I played for a while. With that being said Crysis 3 was only slighly better than Crysis 2 , but only from the campaign perspective. I'm still getting used to the multiplayer in Crysis 3. I like the fact that the maps are larger but now it just takes me longer to explore the map and find people to kill
I agree with the difficulty that the reviewer is talking about. Human AI was so boring to me, Ceph were a lot more interesting. What I found surprisingly fun was the multiplayer though. But what I loved the most was the openness, so much more better than Crysis 2.
I would say it deserves a better score for being a better rounded game than the previous entries. It doesnt excell at anything but graphics but its solid in the other departments. I like to play stealthily! Good review though.
Try mars mappack, try us mappack, try backardi map, try mischief in paradise, try shrimp. There were so many imaginative maps but I cant' remember their names.
How dosent its do anything special? The nanosuit! Play stealthy, guns blazing, both or avoiding people all together in a beautiful open world, sandbox game. And one of the sandbox games that is a lot of fun.
GTA has free roam, like I said it was the "story" which isn't sandbox, because it has missions, and has a sequence. But outside the "story" missions it's a sandbox, because you aren't binded to a ending or a sequence Crysis doesn't has free roam! The only aspect of GTA which is sandbox is the free roam (explorable world), like NFS, some Naruto games, Saints Row, or any MMORPG like WoW or GW2
yea but this game is made for all and the original crysis was so advanced in its graphics only a few computers could actually play it. By the way a 17 hour story and 4 hours for co op, isn't that long. Games with multiplayer that is fun like crysis and different increase the play time and this game is also for the consoles so don't call out the pc fanboys (btw i would rather play on xbox over ps3 or pc)
I agree with most of the review, but I also REALLY enjoyed the sound track (should have been mentioned). Overall the sound track is always overlooked, but brings SOOOO much to the game it's important to mention, for any game.
Good review. One reviewers opinion that it was good but not excellent shouldn't cause butthurt imo. Buy the game if you liked the other two. I know I'm going to. Subjectivity is a good thing in reviews.
Misread your comment. Take 2! I love how you imply that I'm small minded, yet don't realize that you aren't required to buy the game a few days after launch. You can always wait for the price to drop. " if they wanted my money they shouldve made a better game like crysis 1 and warhead which i paid for or they could sell it for a lower price!" There's an easy and completely legal solution for this...DON'T BUY THE FRIGGIN' GAME!! I still don't see how piracy is warranted.
3. How does me wanting to discuss with more than one person lead to the conclusion I like to argue. Once again, besides the piracy thing, I never really said anybody was wrong. I just stated my differing opinion. That's why their called opinions. The only thing I can say is that is different...but variety is fun. I don't see why you think me wanting to talk about my opinions in comparison with others makes the discussion a battle to see who's opinion is better.
I honestly haven't seen that. The enemies I versed were clever, they always tried too flush me out, they changed their routes, they cared about each other and they were challenging on harder difficulty's. I dont see the problem.
Im very agree with the Score ... they focus so much in the details of the game they forget about the story and the game is very short indeed compare to the other series...
Loved the beta. Excellent graphics on PC and hunter mode is pretty fun. I don't think the online community will last very long but I've ordered it nonetheless. At $55 online this will be a title well worth playing and I think the MP is much better than crysis 2.
First, the reviewers get the game earlier than others.. So they get it before the release date, and get more time to play through the game. 7,5 isn't bad and it ain't that much of a difference from 8,0. And graphics adds to the gameplay, and I personally rather have good graphics nowadays. Not a MUST, but I wouldn't mind it at all.
I've been a massive fan of Crysis 1. The sandbox editor caught me up for months :D. The thing with 2&3(not warhead) is that it became (as many other mentioned) a CoD linear game. But... The story is faaar more superior, I mean i usually don't notice voice acting in games, but this one stood up a lot. By making it more realistic, they deleted some fun parts, like grabbing a chicken, jumping in strength mode and punching it into cosmos, or destroying buildings, or actually choosing how to approach an enemy camp. But all the games have something in common, and that's the only thing I don't like about these games, it's very lame to shoot 3/4 bullets in a human and even more on a simple alien to make them die, it slows the game speed. I think they should have added more things to kill, and more easily.
I found Crysis 3 to be bigger, yet shorter than 2. 2 was more linear with a longer story, but 3 had bigger environments and a shorter story. I'm not sure which I like more. I felt there were parts of the story in 3 that I didn't fully understand. Why are we doing this? Why is this happening? Overall a great experience though.
OK look, here's the deal. It didn't bother me paying like 20-30 bucks for games that truly give a unique experience in return, despite being short like Portal or Mirror's Edge. Both had unique quality features other than their graphics. But Crysis 3 is in short nothing more but Crytek's way of saying: "Hey look, we have a new engine." It had much potential but it's so short it's just ricidulous. It's not a bad game but it's nowhere near worth the 40 pounds or 35 bucks for a mundane experience.
You always pay full price. "Price" is a monetary calculation of a thing's percieved value, and is ALWAYS subjective (usually set through mechanisms of offer and demand). The only time you dont pay "full price" is if you actually hand over less money than the merchant asks for. As for your post: grow up. What do you expect, sales on the first day of release? What would be the point of setting a price if you wont bother using it?
They're far from crap, but far from excellence as well. It's not too interesting, but the star of the show is the nanosuit. So though a decent story is welcomed (speaking from my experience from Crysis 2), fine execution of the nanosuit mechanic will be what I'm looking for. They do a pretty good job.
If you don't like a game, don't buy it or try to get it for free, otherwise, you're just being a hypocrite by saying, "Oh I hate this game and the developer, but I still need to play it."
Well, Crysis 1 and 2 were drastically different, actually, more than drastically. Crysis 3, I look at it as more of an epilogue to C2, so I expect the same gameplay, while I welcome changes. I only hope C4 either goes back to the roots or reinvents the formula, if they even make a C4.
You notice how Crysis 3 and Dead Space 3 came out this year. And while both games where undeniably enjoyable they just didn't quite reach the heights of their predecessors. How much do you wanna bet EA put pressure on both Crytek and Visceral to push out a sequel for both franchises before next generation consoles launched and because of that both Crysis 3 and Dead Space 3 where not quite as polished and as good as they should have been...
This game was NOT THAT EASY actually.
still better than CoD
maybe they played this game on easy...
ever seen anyone from gamespot play a game? They ALL suck ass.. like most kids on youtube.. so yes everyone on youtube plays the easiest setting
they did. in the video they walked infront of the enemy without being shot on. on veteran they would be dead in seconds
he never has a single sound bite of: maximum armour, or cloak engaged... YOU JUST FAILED THIS REVIEW
Dude, only the first game is worth your money. They had a great intro, & ended with a great setup for the sequels to come.
The 2nd game had a great concept; urban jungle; possible use of parkour, urban warfare with the aliens, 9/11 references, etc. they had everything going for it except they fucked everything up by regressing from the Sandbox style gameplay of the first game to a linear shooter like COD!!! Even more uncool is that they kill off Nomad in the lore, & force you to accept Prophet (aka Alcatraz) as the new protagonist & pretend Nomad never existed.

& so, as fun as all the Crysis games are, disappointingly the Crysis series just progressively declined in quality after the first game.
So moral of the story, all the Crysis games are fun, but if you want your moneys worth, buy the first game, don't bother with the others. It's the version that is least tainted by EA's corporate interests.
For 7 bucks I'd say that 2 and 3 are worth it
they should make an open world rpg. just imagine an open world rpg from cyteck
+Krish Lius yeah it would be awesome
That's actually VERY close to Crysis
I felt this game deserved a 9.5 or higher. Storyline and gameplay was amazing.
The gameplay is the best in the series. This is called improvement, it may not be as long but it doesnt mean shit, such a great game!
I bought Crysis 3 for xbox yesterday. Hunter mode is really fun. I havent played much of the campaign too much yet but the visuals are gorgeous. Beautiful game. I loved Crysis 2 so much that when I bought C3 I bought C2 again . The cool thing is that C3 comes with a downloadable copy of Crysis 1. Now I have all three.
Cry Engine+Battlefield 3 sounds and extra visuals+Arma's gameplay mechanics=Most realistic FPS game ever!!!
the music is ecxelent in this
Excellent
it's the best part of the game
Not sure why people are complaining that the bow makes the game too easy, the cloak has ALWAYS made Crysis easy from the very beginning. Sneak up cloaked, take out targets, hide, cloak, repeat. C2 took it further by giving you upgrades that allowed cloak to function longer, and allowed you to use small weapons with lower penalties. The bow is merely the next step in making life easy for you.

I don't understand though how Prophet went to space and I hate how they changed the Psycho character.
Waiting for Crysis 4, the "Island Prequel". (When Prophet went back)
Sad how this franchise went downhill. Crysis 1 will always be Crytek's masterpiece.
Nerd mode engaged: They actually added some anti- aliasing for Dead Space 3 on PC which effects the lighting in some places, but there is no noticeable difference between platforms which is why I still bought it for XBOX.

It is completely worth it. I own an Xbox 360 and it is AMAZING!! Every aspect of this game rocks
Crysis 3 mixed the open world gameplay of Crysis 1 with the linear corridor shooting in Crysis 2 to get a well passed, thriling campaign with lots of funny moments between Psycho and Prophet.
3:37 I was stuck there too!
I feel your pain bruh,that's about the same amount of people i see playing on PS3,its a shame this gem of a multiplayer isn't more popular
I loved the Crysis 3 campaign!
C1 and C2 sucked C3 was amazing and one of my favorite games ever.
It is always worth mentioning. He even said the hardest difficulty was easy because of the tools you have at your disposal.
I got Crysis 2 for 70 cents from the Humble Bundle and absolutely loved it. Loved the visuals. Loved the professional, cinematic quality that was maintained throughout. Loved the flexibility and simplicity of the gameplay and controls. The story also really pulled through in the end. So is this game worth the 30 bucks?

In a sandbox the player has tools to modify the world themselves and create how they play. Every Crysis player has the same experience in the game. You don't choose if you want to be good or bad, killer or pacifist, die or live.
GTA, NSF, Saints Row, every game with a open world, WoW, GW2, most of the MMORPG's, these are examples
Don't know what is worse you telling someone that their opinion is wrong, or 10 people thumbing you up for telling people that independent thought from yours is wrong.
Crysis 1 > Crysis 2 > Metro 2033 > CoD MW3 > Aliens: Colonial Marines > Crysis 3
4:12 What type of reload is that?
a 7.5 still represents a good game dont be hating on kevin for the review he s usualy fair in all of his reviews
How is disagreeing with somebody telling them that their opinion is wrong? And people thumbed up because they agreed with his points.
easy? it takes a lot of hours to complete this game
People like you really need to understand that there will be dlcs and such that will expand and make the game better.
Okay, I'm not talking about C2. I said C1 wasn't that great of a game, and I would say most people agree. Besides being a benchmark for PCs, it didn't do anything groundbreaking or special. It was just an open world FPS.
PC has limitless power, it can take what ever you can put in it. The consoles have set pieces, with some minor modifications occasionally possible.

If only gaming standards are factored in, of course.
A 7.5 is a great score, this "gotta be 8-10" rating system is really fucking things up.
Crysis is basically a huge game with tons of extra space and killing options.
a sandbox game has an openworld that it lets you loose in, in world of warcraft, there are linear quests but you can also just wander around the huge world doing what ever you want.
That's your opinion, the story was better the Crysis 2, the first Crysis was and still is freakin awesome I will give you that.
I think the game deserves at least an 8. I would say 9 but I came across far to many glitches. NPCs spawned in random places, I got stuck in quite a few walls, triggers didn't always go off, etc. There were a few lazy enemy types too and not NEARLY as much diversity. It's obvious that this game was more rushed than the previous ones. The original Crysis is still the best in my opinion. But the bow... GREAT addition. You do have to crank up the difficulty to make it challenging though.
none of the uncharted games has a 20+ hour campaign, but it's still my favorite.
"Graphic is nice"
He never criticized the visuals of the game. He just said that the graphics don't make the game. At least I think that's the thought he was getting at...
Hey, I love the Crysis series. 1 and 2 were both excellent games and I'm a huge fan. All I am saying is that this was a fair review with valid points. Criticism doesn't make this a bad game by any means.
AI was already broken in crisis 2. Another not balanced shooter. Having lots of fun with sleeping dogs, dead space 3 is so underrated, amazing game.
... ? I'm everything except a "big though guy".. I just remember how amazing Crysis was back in 2007, if someone had told me that a "Crysis 3" would come, I wouldn't have imagine it like this, the game looks great, just not exactly what I expected, and I know this is because they have to make it run smooth on consoles as well.. unlike Crysis 1.. That was an opinion, a.. comment.. because we're in the "comments" section.. :)
I have Crysis 1 - 3.. LOVED this series and frankly since I'm such a picky gamer I never got into the CoD or Battlefield hype. The Crysis and Arkham Asylum/City games were literally the only games I played for a while. With that being said Crysis 3 was only slighly better than Crysis 2 , but only from the campaign perspective. I'm still getting used to the multiplayer in Crysis 3. I like the fact that the maps are larger but now it just takes me longer to explore the map and find people to kill
crysis 3 runs on crytec graphic engine the best graphic engine ever made, best graphics the gamer world has seen, ever...
4:11 dodgy gun.
I agree with the difficulty that the reviewer is talking about. Human AI was so boring to me, Ceph were a lot more interesting. What I found surprisingly fun was the multiplayer though. But what I loved the most was the openness, so much more better than Crysis 2.
I would say it deserves a better score for being a better rounded game than the previous entries. It doesnt excell at anything but graphics but its solid in the other departments. I like to play stealthily!
Good review though.
4:11 lol dat reload bug
Try mars mappack, try us mappack, try backardi map, try mischief in paradise, try shrimp. There were so many imaginative maps but I cant' remember their names.
How dosent its do anything special? The nanosuit! Play stealthy, guns blazing, both or avoiding people all together in a beautiful open world, sandbox game. And one of the sandbox games that is a lot of fun.
GTA has free roam, like I said it was the "story" which isn't sandbox, because it has missions, and has a sequence.
But outside the "story" missions it's a sandbox, because you aren't binded to a ending or a sequence
Crysis doesn't has free roam! The only aspect of GTA which is sandbox is the free roam (explorable world), like NFS, some Naruto games, Saints Row, or any MMORPG like WoW or GW2
yea but this game is made for all and the original crysis was so advanced in its graphics only a few computers could actually play it. By the way a 17 hour story and 4 hours for co op, isn't that long. Games with multiplayer that is fun like crysis and different increase the play time and this game is also for the consoles so don't call out the pc fanboys (btw i would rather play on xbox over ps3 or pc)
after finishing Crysis 3 i think 7.5 / 10 was actually being generous.
i had a lot more fun playing though Crysis and even more-so Crysis 2 !!!
I miss having an actual sprint ability that felt like "maximum speed"
Crysis 2 feels like a COD/BF3 sprint...
7.5 was lower than expected but it still looks like a good time. 7.5 is good.
I agree with most of the review, but I also REALLY enjoyed the sound track (should have been mentioned). Overall the sound track is always overlooked, but brings SOOOO much to the game it's important to mention, for any game.
Crysis 1 was the only game in this series that really interested me.
Good review. One reviewers opinion that it was good but not excellent shouldn't cause butthurt imo. Buy the game if you liked the other two. I know I'm going to. Subjectivity is a good thing in reviews.
The first time that IGN made a better review than Gamespot...
Misread your comment. Take 2!
I love how you imply that I'm small minded, yet don't realize that you aren't required to buy the game a few days after launch. You can always wait for the price to drop.
" if they wanted my money they shouldve made a better game like crysis 1 and warhead which i paid for or they could sell it for a lower price!"
There's an easy and completely legal solution for this...DON'T BUY THE FRIGGIN' GAME!! I still don't see how piracy is warranted.
3. How does me wanting to discuss with more than one person lead to the conclusion I like to argue. Once again, besides the piracy thing, I never really said anybody was wrong. I just stated my differing opinion. That's why their called opinions. The only thing I can say is that is different...but variety is fun. I don't see why you think me wanting to talk about my opinions in comparison with others makes the discussion a battle to see who's opinion is better.
I honestly haven't seen that. The enemies I versed were clever, they always tried too flush me out, they changed their routes, they cared about each other and they were challenging on harder difficulty's. I dont see the problem.
I wouldn't say that being 5 hours isn't bad, but it's the matter of pacing.
Im very agree with the Score ... they focus so much in the details of the game they forget about the story and the game is very short indeed compare to the other series...
Loved the beta. Excellent graphics on PC and hunter mode is pretty fun. I don't think the online community will last very long but I've ordered it nonetheless. At $55 online this will be a title well worth playing and I think the MP is much better than crysis 2.
Not even close. Crysis 3 is an amazing beautiful sandbox game.
First, the reviewers get the game earlier than others.. So they get it before the release date, and get more time to play through the game.
7,5 isn't bad and it ain't that much of a difference from 8,0.
And graphics adds to the gameplay, and I personally rather have good graphics nowadays. Not a MUST, but I wouldn't mind it at all.
I've been a massive fan of Crysis 1. The sandbox editor caught me up for months :D. The thing with 2&3(not warhead) is that it became (as many other mentioned) a CoD linear game.
But... The story is faaar more superior, I mean i usually don't notice voice acting in games, but this one stood up a lot.
By making it more realistic, they deleted some fun parts, like grabbing a chicken, jumping in strength mode and punching it into cosmos, or destroying buildings, or actually choosing how to approach an enemy camp.
But all the games have something in common, and that's the only thing I don't like about these games, it's very lame to shoot 3/4 bullets in a human and even more on a simple alien to make them die, it slows the game speed. I think they should have added more things to kill, and more easily.
The multiplayer is made by another developing team in UK. And not by the same team that made singleplayer.
i dont know why but i always watch game reviews of games that ive already played and liked
I found Crysis 3 to be bigger, yet shorter than 2. 2 was more linear with a longer story, but 3 had bigger environments and a shorter story. I'm not sure which I like more. I felt there were parts of the story in 3 that I didn't fully understand. Why are we doing this? Why is this happening? Overall a great experience though.
Awesome review: Honest and critical. Well deserved 7.5.
OK look, here's the deal. It didn't bother me paying like 20-30 bucks for games that truly give a unique experience in return, despite being short like Portal or Mirror's Edge. Both had unique quality features other than their graphics. But Crysis 3 is in short nothing more but Crytek's way of saying:
"Hey look, we have a new engine."
It had much potential but it's so short it's just ricidulous. It's not a bad game but it's nowhere near worth the 40 pounds or 35 bucks for a mundane experience.
If Fall Out 3/New Vegas had Call Of Duty controls I'd be set. Closest thing to that is Borderlands which is pretty damn awesome.
You always pay full price. "Price" is a monetary calculation of a thing's percieved value, and is ALWAYS subjective (usually set through mechanisms of offer and demand). The only time you dont pay "full price" is if you actually hand over less money than the merchant asks for.
As for your post: grow up. What do you expect, sales on the first day of release? What would be the point of setting a price if you wont bother using it?
They're far from crap, but far from excellence as well. It's not too interesting, but the star of the show is the nanosuit. So though a decent story is welcomed (speaking from my experience from Crysis 2), fine execution of the nanosuit mechanic will be what I'm looking for. They do a pretty good job.
If you don't like a game, don't buy it or try to get it for free, otherwise, you're just being a hypocrite by saying, "Oh I hate this game and the developer, but I still need to play it."
Damn a 7.5, IGN was more fair with reviewing Crysis 3 giving it an 8.5 WTF, whatever this game is amazing I don't care what so called critics say.
And furthermore, let this be a lesson learned: if it says EA on it, it's guaranteed horse shit.
Well, Crysis 1 and 2 were drastically different, actually, more than drastically.
Crysis 3, I look at it as more of an epilogue to C2, so I expect the same gameplay, while I welcome changes.
I only hope C4 either goes back to the roots or reinvents the formula, if they even make a C4.
You notice how Crysis 3 and Dead Space 3 came out this year. And while both games where undeniably enjoyable they just didn't quite reach the heights of their predecessors. How much do you wanna bet EA put pressure on both Crytek and Visceral to push out a sequel for both franchises before next generation consoles launched and because of that both Crysis 3 and Dead Space 3 where not quite as polished and as good as they should have been...
