Crysis 2: 6 Years Later
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2017
- The result of two weeks of blood and sweat. I enjoyed making this one, and I hope you enjoy watching it. Crysis 2 deserves it. I have to thank Raycevick or Cuhnadian for inspiring this video's format. I also have to thank game movies for making a Crysis 2 cutscene compilation that was a godsend for my hard drive. I may or may not have promised a video on every game in the series. It’s a good thing at the time of uploading, I’ve only got Warhead to play through. Crysis 3 is going to be a difficult one to write. Stay tuned
for that.

As for the extra notes:
This game had a slightly ridiculous amount of intro sequences. Crysis 2 has 3. 3 fookin cutscenes, not including the long ass recovery segment. You’ve got the prototype style city is going to hell compilation, then the character introductions, then the badass intro we all came for. With totally jarring cuts in between each. Personally, I’d remove the prototype stuff, and have the badass intro come right off the character building.
Crysis 2 deserves every GOTY award just for using the word catalyst correctly.
Poor tutorialisation of maximum armour. The game tells you it’s for surviving explosions, and while that’s true, it never gives the impression that it’s much good against small arms. Cloak is done much better. The player will assume that cloak is the best option for traversing levels, but in reality, guns blazing is just as good. Armour is highly effective against every attack cells or low level ceph has, and it’s use is pretty much necessary for survival.
Pacing is fucking great. You get the slow and steady build up at the start with getting to gould, then the set up and mystery with the aliens and hargreave, then the balls to the walls military action with Barclay.
Dual wielding is absent. Why? Don’t know. Seems like a pointless removal. The m12 nova is the basic pistol, and it is utterly useless due to the lack of dual wielding. The Hammer and Majestic seem just fine on their own though. (END OF NOTES)
Music I think went really well in this video. Unsurprisingly, it’s a big help when a game’s soundtrack is that damn good. But this was a 50 minutes video, so that meant half the soundtrack needed to sound cool AND fit what I was talking about. That meant I needed to repeat tracks and use remixes or covers I found off youtube.
The piano cover of Crysis 2’s theme comes from DuskPiano. The original cover link: • Crysis 2 - Epilogue "M...
And the synthesia version you heard in the video: • Video
The hip hop beat version that people have actually rapped to comes from Endi. Link: • Crysis 2 Theme - Hip H... . I can’t believe this sounded as good as it did.
Links to stuff straight from the ost:

Need a 'Crysis 2: 6 Years Later: 6 Years Later' video now
I loved the fact that Alcatraz was just a pile of bones and organs being held together by pretty much just the nanosuit.
It's kind of like how my life was nothing but Crysis 2, back in the day. Symbolism?
im going to vomit now
I'm playing The New Colossus now, and BJ's situation with the suit reminded me of Alcatraz, and of how much I loved that character detail too.
Too bad 3 has him be Prophet's little meat puppet
@@TimeBomb014X I mean that just makes the situation more tragic. His name describes his situation, imprisoned in his own body with someone else at the wheel.
Not too far in yet but I gotta say now that I 100% agree about the theme. It's so underrated.
Really on point with a lot and I never thought about the strange inconsistencies with the suit in story context until now. I totally agree that double tap abilities would've done wonders for making it fun without needing the radial menu back. Excellent video.
I will never forget the theme and the rest of these tracks. So are the three of you all friends? @MadaloreGaming @Raycevick and @Whitelight. I watch each of your review videos awesome content, brings back memories and feels of all these good games.
It was not underrated. In 2007 and 2011 we didnt know about the next shit period of game industry, so we didnt appreciate games.
2011 was the year of good themes with Skyrim, Arkham City, etc.
DarkshadowXD63 2011; Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 2, WWE ‘12, Saints Row The Third, Arkham City, Skyrim Elder Scrolls, Assasins Creed Revelations. Damn that was a great year
It will never be possible to forget the epic music in this game.
Crysis 1 and 2 had amazing music, Crysis 3 has good music just not as good as 1 and 2.
GAMING HUT HD yeah
As I started the game the first time, the soundtrack from the menu did realy annoy me. However, after playing the game some time, I started to love it. It did fit to the game perfectly. At the end, I think it is the best soundtrack for a game I remember.
I hope I never will.
@Traktor Oil No you feckless dolt. If you're into epic music you'll know that each composer has a different overall feel with broad variation within their works. In this case, much like with Tron Legacy, the score is potent enough to qualify as an integral aspect of the game. I dont like all of Hans Zimmers music as some of it is a bit formulaic, but he knocked this one well out of the park.
pro tip:
decloak right before you fire your weapon, then cloak again. save that suit energy!
Yeah I didn't discover how useful that was until late.
That was in the first game too. To stealth kill, swich to max strength, whack the dude, and cloak to get away.
strengh mode gives you more accuracy
On 360, I had mastered the art of lining up my sniper sights and then rapidly tapping RB-RT-RB such that it was almost like I hadn't uncloaked at all.
I'm surprised more people didn't do this in multiplayer. Switching from cloak to armor right before firing my weapon was almost always my go-to strategy.
And now this video is 6 years old
Making the game 12 years old
Jeez...
My 2 cents on the Hargreave questions:
- the main character takes Hargreave's syringe not because he trusts the guy, but because he has to take the gamble. Hargreave's anti-Ceph spores are the only known effective weapon against the aliens. The preceding Barkley chapters established that Earth's military, even with your help, is barely equipped to stall the aliens, leave alone defeat them.
- Hargreave probably doesn't simply ask you to let him wear the suit because there's no good reason for you to comply or for Hargreave to expect you to comply. Hargreave is a civilian that wants to play hero and taste freedom - he's unqualified for the mission. Even before Lockhart developed a personal vendetta against you, CELL was hunting you for your suit and executing your washed-up Marine buddies from mission 1, so Alcatraz probably also doesn't have any love for Hargreave and his faith in him is shaky at best (which is why Hargreave explicitly states he's going to try to earn Alcatraz' trust during their first meeting). So there's no logical or emotional reason for Alcatraz to comply. Plus with how scared Hargreave is of death (hence his brain-in-a-jar and grasping for nanosuit immortality), he probably doesn't think others would let go of their life that easily.
- Hargreave did try to knock out the player via EMP before the surgery but the mutated nanosuit was unexpectedly resistant to his methods. That's what causes the surgery equipment malfunction, which is why Hargreave then resorts to putting a bullet through your head. Maybe good ol' anesthetic would have worked better than EMP, but by this point your body is more nanosuit than flesh, so probably not.
- the brain-in-a-jar thing was to establish that Hargreave a) is really afraid of death and has been prolonging his own life by any means necessary b) is stuck and desperate to climb into your suit. Considering the nanosuit is already adept at keeping someone alive that ought be dead, I don't think Hargreave's life support was far-fetched for this setting. The glowing tank was a pretty kitschy eyecatcher tho.
- Hargreave goes mental after you've taken the syringe because up until this point he's dreamed of being the hero and finally getting out of his stasis prison and now he's completely lost control of the situation and signed his own death warrant. Considering Tara Strickland's and Lockhart's comments on his sanity, this isn't a first for him either, it just didn't happen during his brief time of talking with you. Makes sense, when you originally met Hargreave's plan was still largely on track and he needed to appear trustworthy. Now that he's about to die anyway, he can let loose.
- Hargreave did fortify his HQ: The PRISM is a private island with its own power grid and it's stacked with CELL troops. But it's been established that "this isn't a fight ordinary humans can win", so of course it's gonna fall eventually, just like the rest of the NYC. If conventional defenses were effective, people wouldn't be pinning their hopes on nanosuits, nukes and experimental bioweapons.
- The nanosuit doesn't transfer someone's consciousness, it clones it. The real Prophet killed himself right in front of you. A copy of his consciousness survived within the suit. Hargreave probably wasn't interested in a mental clone surviving, he was interested in his own survival.
- Hargreave probably wasn't "in a bunker halfway across the world" because he didn't just want to survive and run away from the aliens, he wanted to play hero and defeat the aliens. He goes on a whole rant about how he fancies himself Prometheus who stole fire (tech) from the gods (aliens) to enlighten humanity (build nanosuits). He was camping outside the dragon den waiting for his armor to be delivered.
-----
And some 2 cents on other story stuff:
- I think your suggestion for the "couple stuck in debris" scene has a very different goal from the one it fulfills in the game. In the game it's a bitter pill you have to swallow just after you felt great about besting a massive alien tank for the first time. This mix creates a bittersweet atmosphere that lets you know "don't let your accomplishments fool you: things are still looking grim". If Alcatraz had just taken that opportunity to play hero again and the evacuation sequence had gone basically without a hitch, it wouldn't have built enough pressure to suggest you need something far more powerful than one guy in a nanosuit to save the city.
- I'm not sure that Lockhart needed more actual characterization in the grand scheme of things. He basically works like the Half-Life 2 chopper that, despite lacking any personality whatsoever, you're happy to get revenge on just because it's been harassing you all game long (and had your fellow marines shot in mission 1). I think without his death the rogue section of CELL would have been too prominent of a loose end to just sweep under the rug, and Lockhart had been kind of set up as the brawn half of the "brawn and brain" Crynet villain duo that you could actually get to fight, unlike Hargreave. It's like the invisible super-Ceph right before the park's spire. I think if anything Lockhart could have done with less characterization (worked better for my examples of the HL2 chopper and the invisible Ceph), but I guess they needed him for exposition.
- The suit's power level "schizophrenia" I think makes sense if you don't try to view it as the "ultimate badass". It makes you superhuman, you can easily kill CELL mooks all day with it, but it has limits and struggles against the aliens' trump cards. That's why the *actual* ultimate weapon against the Ceph is the spore bioweapon, not the suit.
Well, that was an interesting read. Thanks for responding.
In Crysis legion they actually explain commander Lockhart more in depth. Especially the reason he hates the suit so much. Look it up. It's a great read.
Good post. I agree with nearly everything you said ;)
Hargreave was a pretty interesting character, and the voice actor did a great job
"Alcatraz and the suit TOGETHER, thats the weapon!"
To be fair, Alcatraz had a lot of injuries from surviving the sinking sub then getting shot by the Ceph. I can understand why the Nanosuit couldn't entirely make him into a superhero at times, seeing as he was fighting with a more-or-less broken spine.
This is 9months late, but just to add to your comment, the suit was also repairing him, which prolly consumed a lot of energy.
@@TheIdiotPlays 6 months late, It wasn't so much as repairing him as it was actually bonding/combining with him. Repairing him would have been healing his wounds. In the deep suit scan cutscene they briefly explain and show the nanosuit GROWING into Alcatraz himself. Further evidenced in Crysis 3 where Psycho and his team were literally skinned alive to have their suits removed since the Nanosuit bonds with the wearer (host). Remember, Prophet uses the word "Symbiosis" in the beginning of Crysis 2. The nanosuit and the person wearing it is a symbiotic relationship. You are ONE with the Nanosuit when you wear it, and eventually this is a permanent physical and genetic change when finally at the end of Crysis 3 we see the body of Alcatraz using the likeness of Prophet. PROPHET is the combination of Spirit, Body and Mind. The body of Alcatraz, the mind of Laurence Barnes work together to create the spirit of Prophet.
Hope that helps!
@@madezra64 one week late. Skinning somebody alive is pretty fucking grim....geez.
phoenix jones one month late. Yeah boi, but what happened to Nomad? And I was always disappointed with the “Death” of Alcatraz as I never got the point of why his subconscious was overwhelmed by Prophet’s.
@@BUSSTISEBOOST 2 months late but in his Crysis 1 critique Whitelight brought up the comic, in which Nomad dies.
Joseph Anderson tweeted out a recommendation for this. I think I may be developing an unhealthy obsession for long-form critical video essays of video games narrated by people with smooth voices, but heck with it, I'll subscribe anyway. Good work!
I know I'm late here, but do you have any other recommendations? I'm already subbed to Raycevik, MandaloreGaming, Noah Caldwell-Gervais, and Examined Life of Gaming but I need more!
@@ZachFett Joseph Anderson!
@@ZachFett Take a look at the channel GVMERS , if u havent already
You mean diet mathewmatosis?
Thank you!
I wanted to add a very small and easily missable display of how "awesome" the nanosuit was, in the first mission when Prophet suicides, when Alcatraz wakes up and exits the building he gets to a push bar on an emergency exit door and tries to open it like a normal human being and easily rips the push bar clean. In some subsequent missions, Alcatraz open push bars with a finger. Only noticed it on my third playthrough.

In Crysis 1, there is an option to enable suit mode shortcuts.
When enabled,
double tapping sprint (shift key) will activate maximum speed;
double tapping melee (T key?) or jump (space key) will activate maximum strength;
double tapping S key will activate maximum armor;
and finally double tapping crouch (Crtl key) or prone (Z key) activates cloak.
Had this feature became default in Crysis 2, there is no need for combining strength and speed into power for the sake of fewer key presses to activate those modes.
Yes, this feature was great
double taps suck though
About the music in Crysis 2...
If you know Hans Klok the famous Dutch musician, either he or the person that picks his music really loves Crysis 2 because I went to 1 of his shows once and there were multiple soundtracks from this game used. I even heard the iconic mechanical walking noises from the Ceph going all around me (Becaus of the seround sound system in that theater) at some point during his show.
But the iconic "screaming" at the beginning of the main theme is what really made me go from "Is this guy using Crysis music?" To "100% that's Crysis 2 main theme! Denying that is literally mot possible anymore!"
4:48 "And still put everything else to shame now in 2015"
You've sat on that script for a while haven't you?
Love these kind of videos. You’ve earned my sub!
I was just watching this video by whitelight and I went to the comments and I saw you I’m subbed to your channel keep up the content
It makes me so unreasonably sad that the multiplayer is dead. Although I'm sure I would never play it again, and there would probably never be enough of a community to make it fun again, I had such a great time with Crysis 2 multiplayer. I'll never forget the feeling I used to get, booting into the menu and listening to the title music and queuing up.
Matthew Cotton Dude, can't ever forget that music track beginning with the slow violin bit during loading, amirite?
Amen
Which version? I think the PC version is so dead.
Koko the Arabian no its still going on steam theres like 3 fuul servers
@Genos Cool. Will download it!
So glad to see such dedication and talent on a channel this small. I am 100% the type of guy to enjoy videos like these so thank you.
Dude, i'm so glad i found your channel. I really miss Crysis and these videos helped my nostalgia fix.
poeciloteria same man, until helpfully crysis 4 or more crysis games come out
Well. They are making a new Crysis game.
EDIT: My bad. I was incorrect. I was thinking of the new Metro game.
On the bright side, the new Metro game looks amazing and very much like it'll be the sort of graphical marvel that Crysis always has been
@@olliegarner4601 twitter.com/Crysis/status/1249714251360501761
Man I loved this game. It's a shame so many people just write it off as a dumbed down Crysis, because it is so much more than that.
It is not *much* more than that, it is in many aspects a dumbed down version of the original. I guess in terms of story and worldbuilding it does the job it sets out to do but that has always been the series' shortcomings anyway so it doesn't really add much to the game. I'm not saying the original was a masterpiece but at least it made sure its' core mechanics were fun such as the nanosuit. And it gave you an environment that promotes its' use in different ways, something the sequels severely neutered due to the fact they were set in destroyed cities that are arbitrarily blocked off to guide you through the story. Not my cup of tea and not what Crysis was originally about. As good as the games might be in their own regard, they don't deserve to be called Crysis games.
crysis 2 is amazing. if it wasnt a sequel to the first game it really would have been seen differently. its my favorite one of the three games, i havent played warhead
Todd Howard would force you to buy creation club credits
Stumbled on this channel by accident and you have become one of my favorite gaming analyst/critic. You clearly put alot of research, editing and writing in to your videos. The narration is calm and clear. Great work!
Thanks man
The voice acting esspecially for Hargreave in Turkish is absolutely awesome. Cevat Yerli, who is Turkish, done a great job hiring those voice actors. Because those voice actors are also the ones that dub Hollywood films.
Cloak engaged
Good stuff mate, earned a sub.
We really need a Crysis 4. Imagine how amazing that game would look with the current hardware we have.
i see you have an rtx 2080, but can it run crysis 4?
Dr.phil
Crysis 2 HD?
Boy your wish has been granted, they teased it recently, 3 years goes by quick lol
Its so weird to me that this video has now been around for the same amount of time that Crysis 2 had been around for when the video was made. Wild
Life is short man, it sucks.
There's nothing wild about it. This is the same level of nonsense as those silly NBA "records".
I gotta say despite the inconsistencies with everything regarding the Roosevelt Island level, I enjoyed the level and it's music. It was really well done up till that point. (also due to this game when I visited NYC I made sure to check out the island)
So damn underated game Loved every second of the game and the video! Great work man!
Crysis 2 ost went so hard I still listen to the epilogue every once in a while. It has such a weight and sense of triumph and accomplishment that few other games even come close to. I also never would have ever known about or played this game if it didn’t come to console, for better or worse. I can’t wait for crysis 4
This was the first M rated game middle school me was allowed to have and boy did I love the shit out of it.
Absolutely love your videos, I’m able to learn so much about games and what makes them great your presentation and commentary are top notch been binge watching them all keep it up
"...See the protagonist do some kind of good for us to care..."
Finally, somebody with an actual opinion of the game besides "ugh it's dumbed down for us elite PC gamers." Anyway, this was a great review.
"ugh it's dumbed down for us elite PC gamers."
The final point was that yeah, it was really dumbed down lol. Crysis 2 and 3 can be finished by morons.
So can the first one. Hell I was a kid when i played and finished it.
pROvAK the first game didn’t take much intelligence to beat lol.
after i watched some crysis 2 videos like this, i started to play the game again after 2 years when i played it through.
first playthrough i thought: meh
but now i think its better than most people say. the gameplay, the story and the whole atmosphere is very nice.
battling my way through aliens and soldiers through new york is very entertaining.
while i still like crysis 3 a bit more, because of the gameplay which is improved upon crysis 2, i also like this game a lot.
but the first one will always be my favorite
the first one is defo harder
C2 is still one of the best FPS games I've ever played, despite all its problems, bugs and glitches. I love the Crysis trilogy. Crytek is at the same time a company that for me created one of the best pieces of FPS gaming history there is, while at the same time being a company that utterly destroyed its own product with the most horrible service and technical support I've ever seen, combined with the complete disregard for the esthablished fan base that loved C1 and what made Crysis great. Their handling of so many issues was utterly disastrous. Despite that, fuck do I love Crysis.

Subscribed, you’re one of the best video game commentary channels I’ve found.
Very thougthful presentation of the most important game series for all the reasons you mention. "Crysis 2 - Intro" and "Crysis 3 - New York Memories" are absolute pinnacles in game music for sure.
you put very much efforts and thought into your videos - subscribed.
Thanks.
Sir, you have hit the nail on the head with your synopsis of the Crysis theme by Zimmer. I’ve felt the same from the instant I heard it.
I am loving these videos! Great series!
I was just playing throug all 3 Crysis games and stumbled upon your YT-channel, in particular on your crysis Videos and i gotta say i love them. You are doing a really great job on your videos and just got me as a new Subscriber. Keep it up man ^^
Thoroughly enjoyed your thoughts and analysis, subbed & looking forward to more future content!
What I love about Crysis 2 more than other FPS's is that it takes time, build up tension, contently pushing through the narrative with meeting different characters, seeing small dispatch of aliens in the beginning and watching New York slowly turning to a war-zone thanks to more aliens later on. It really feels like an unpredictable adventure that's unique to the genre.
I always got the feeling that the suit wasn't working at full capacity because instead of a fit and strong soldier inside, it has what is basically a corpse. That's why I figured Alcatraz never spoke, because you're basically dead and can't even croak out words that aren't grunts. Does he even grunt?
for me this is my favorite fps game ever. It has awesome soundtrack that I still enjoy to this day. The power fantasy a gamer crave, good story, really good graphics even for my 360 console.
Crysis 1 and 3 are good but 2 is the best for me.
Thanks for bringing back these memories OP.
Thsnks for being the only youtuber who did a lengthy review of this great game! Playing jt dor the first time and I keep listening to this review, clearly this is one masterfully made game.
Brilliant video! Gonna replay it now.
I friggin love your videos dude, nobody talks about this kind of stuff coz its so niche
Great watch thank you! Crysis 2 is one of my fav games and the music score is stunning!
Nice one mate, I have watched 3 or 4 of your videos now. You make me a little nervous as I am part of an indy dev start up working on our first game, a first person shooter and hearing how high the bar is for you is making me think carefully about what we are doing....
Thanks so much for this great vid !
This games visuals back when it released had my jaw dropping at times with how gorgeous it was probably one of my favorites from that console generation.
this is great. i love when games are looked at as a piece of art rather than a toy. it's about time. subbed.
Nice review.. thorough and comprehensive. I came here from your Crysis 1 video.. you got yourself a new Subscriber.. just a side-note : I played this Game on the Hardest difficulty without spending any Upgrade points, and also, never realised there was an automatic Shotgun.. only used the regular one seometimes
Yeah, you by no means have to, but the system itself is bollocks. The jackal shotgun pops up late game when you're setting the charges in that tower, and I think again in the final mission. It's not hard to miss it. Thanks for the sub!
Just an absolute masterpiece of a game and this is an absolute masterpiece of a video highlighting that fact! Loved it!
These videos are soo good , how are they not getting more views ?
I just love how they all live(or die) up to their names... so well done.
Fantastic stuff. Keep it Up
Wow, amazing videos on the crysis series man. It really is sad that they probably won't make a crysis 4 because I loved these games growing up. I'm subbing because these videos are amazing and I hope you keep making gaming videos.
I liked Zimmer's work since I was in the 4th grade and crysis 2's Epilogue is the reason I satrted gaming. 3 years after the release of the game and after 3 years of listening to the OST, I got a decent laptop and Crysis 2 the 1st game I played on it, motivated only by the goodness of the main theme.
I am really enjoying these videos and your voice, I would love to see you do one of these for the original half-life games
And I was mad about Prophet basically killing Alcatraz. As much as I liked Prophet, I feel like he would have made a better character if he remained as a commanding side character rather than the main character
Great video pal!
Best piece of video game analysis I've heard in a while, great job.

This is one of my favorite game series i remember playing this great game when i was little
im playing crysis 2 in 2020 at 4k max settings and im still blown away from it , its 9 years old and looks much better than todays AAA games
It doesnt. Crysis 2 Remastered though... Thats a whole different beast.
I played this game on ps3 without knowing anything about it and I watched this video right after I completed the game.Very true and informative of you. You deserve more subs and views
Man your videos of straight up awesome. A lot of thought put into them and you must be a doing a ton of research and playing. Keep up all the grape videos
Thanks! I'll be visiting my video vineyard soon and putting some more stuff up.
Gotta say… it’s been 10 years and it’s still the GOAT
love watching crysis 2, 6 years later, after the video has been made 6 years ago.
I still find the idea of Alcatraz being replaced to be one of the bigger sour parts of the game.
Yeah, if anything, I kind of wish that Alcatraz took up the name Prophet or something. Though i feel like that might not be earned or match well
Yeah I really disconnected with the story after the first game, it all felt too complicated for no reason
Agreed it was my first crysis I was just like wtf who dis person stealing my body
Mihajlo Cvijetić
I kinda find it fitting Prophet returns in Crisis 3 after him being basically said to be solidly dead for some time and he comes back with a whole load that can make the character seem like a bombshell
In the first game you aren’t a Prophet but see him later using non-human guns and surviving where everyone else is ice cube
He becomes infected and basically is too far gone, he then gives you what isn’t too far gone of his (damaged?) suit it seems and you go back where you basically are a bunch of organs held together by the suit and in a way it can be considered a drug or taking away the physical aspect of being human to a degree to even hijacking the alien’s bio-weapon
Prophet comes back in Crisis 3 but isn’t quite the same, it appears 2 prophets are the case 1 being the suit and the other being the man and in theory both came back from the dead
This does bring into the aspect ‘what is Death now’ since the suits seem to make immortality a viable option and one which Hargrave rejected because he said he has had enough life for two life times
In the 3rd game we have Prophet and Psycho where the two are at odds especially with the first tower sequence
Where Prophet is encouraging Psycho to be he as he has and better himself without the suit while fighting a hive mind alien race
Personally if a Crisis 4 happens I think one of he dead nano-suit guys needs to be brought back, maybe one of the Koreans for a example to possibly show the worse this process could be if the suit isn’t fully ‘suited’ for it like a post-Lobotomy person trying to make sense of things and maybe have some hostility between the two to round back into the 3rd game’s story and mix in the 2nd game’s ‘back from the dead’ story into it to lean into the ‘what is free will’ while fighting a hive mind enemy- of they do this they must start off the game with a breath, you aren’t aware of it and its something your body does without your input, this could translate into if your suit(body) has free will (3rd conscious theory) or if you don’t and the possibility that neither do or don’t have free will with 1’s conscious being hampered (Korean) while the other isn’t but can’t answer where their body came from I the sense of it’s their body or the suit’s and if the two have any connection such as a replacement arm, that you can control like in Deus Ex, but minus your organic body sending the signals to make the arm move and even that being replaced
I loved this game (and Crysis 3) back when they came out. I loved playing the multiplayer after doing the campaigns. Crysis multiplayer was so much fun compared to the other options at that time. Yes, it did take a lot of elements from Call of Duty, but the addition of the nanosuit made it so much more.
I realised something was off and then spotted the snipers outside the apartment and just had to watch
Friend i am here to thank you for giving attention to this diamond of a franchise, even 6 years later. You have a sub and a like from me
I always used to love playing Crysis 2 on the living room TV, just to show my family how epic it was. Thems were the days...
It's 2022 and Crysis 2 is still my fav game in the Crysis series.
And I love the game a lot.
Amazing video, thank you a lot.
A great game, although i won't see a new Crysis for awhile.
An excellent review btw, just found your channel too.
I'm enjoying it so far.
Hot damn, it was still the PS3 era when I last played that game... I really need to replay it.
Goddammit, back when FPS games were still this good.
Loved this game, it's fun to play every time
starfox300 pretty much yeah. For whatever reason it's simply... Satisfying. I think it's partly the story pacing for sure. Also the parkour stuff gives such great feel of flow.
To me Crysis 2 is the perfect Hollywood popcorn flick.
It's fantastic during it's runtime/playtime. But after you are finished you leave it behind and don't think about it.
You know, an entertainment "product"
Maybe you didn't think about it. I was sad Crysis 3 wasn't as long, with a story at least as good and level design as consistently good as Crysis 2.
Hemang Chauhan that's what it's meant to be, in a good way.

The game is fantastic, it is kinda open but with a good story to guide you through. The soundtrack is awesome, and the trailers too, I still watch them every now and then, they make me wanna replay it again.
The k-volt and the auto shotty were my favorite weapons in the game. And I love the predator sound that comes with the invisibility ability
A really nice video and a different perspective on the game. Compared to NoahGervais' video, yours gives the game a better shot I think. While haven't played all games, 2 is considered the worst and for good reasons, but yeah - your video focuses on the game itself, while Noah's video is about the franchise and how it never gets to reach its maximum potential.
EDIT: Also yeah, that theme song is phenomenal. It captures this weird form of pain while being epic so well. The Zimmerman magic at hand.
Joseph Anderson tweeted out this video, and im glad he did you got a new sub
One (kinda goofy) thing I miss from Crysis 1 is the animation of your hand actually picking up guns & ammo. I dig that. It’s a minor thing that surprisingly does wonders for immersion
Yes, I thought I was the only one that missed the immersive animations of the first game!
18:12 I cannot believe I played through this game like 20 times as a kid and not ONCE did I find out you can upgrade the suit
How, it basically forces you to upgrade in the moment you kill your first ceph!
@@bugrilyus honestly? No idea. Maybe I somehow always forgot? The only thing I remember is that I never used any of the suit upgrades. I must have been one hell of a dumbass as a kid :D
Same here xD
Good vid. Subbed.
Really liking your videos on Crysis and Fear. They are amazing videos and definitely have me looking at these games with new eyes. I can’t play either anymore since I only have a PS4 right now and don’t want to make a new gaming pc until Microsoft Windows isnt the only operating system I can use. There are other operating systems yes but if ur gaming doesn’t n ur pc Windows is really the only operating system you can use right now. Can’t wait to see more of videos though. Can’t wait to see me.
This was the first game FPS I played when getting an Xbox 360. I adored the game and believe it to be the most intriguing of the Crysis series, it’s so sad that Crytek went bankrupt and the series got nowhere near the recognition it deserved. Brilliant review I especially loved the way you summed up the soundtrack and I agree with your points completely. Here’s one for nostalgia 🍾.
LOL. The part where you said they were scared, while showing the turtle getting punched was hysterical.. lol
I just replayed Crysis 2 and all I can say is that it holds up more than its predecessor did. The first Crysis, despite being visually amazing, is a tech demo at best. Crysis 2 may not have a big sandbox (instead it opted for a sandbox-like approach to tactics) but I agree with the devs. It's tighter and more fast-paced. Even after playing them both again, I like the second one more than the first.
I don't love Crysis 2 as I love Crysis 1/Warhead, but the biggest flaw of Crysis 2 is that Crytek shut throw everything that made Crysis special, away. They said the will "rework the story/game mechanics so Console players will be familiar with the game, since they [console player] didn't play Crysis 1. 6 Months after Crysis 2 release, Crytek re-release Crysis 1 for consoles and from there, the rest is history.
One of my favourite games, the ending is the most pumping ever, "My name is Prophet!".
One of the shotguns in the game. The Jackal can kill pinger's quickly if you shoot it's weak spot to.
One of my all-time favorites. I often play it just for the soundtrack. It's the standard by which all video game scores should be measured. I say that without irony or sarcasm.
That's music at the start brought me back
Nice vid!
Crysis 2: 6 Years Later: 6 Years Later
Just gonna chime in and say that I appreciated the grime reference. That aside, great video, subscribed.
London grime flows through my blood. I should probably see a doctor.
I only finished Crysis 2 once, never really revisited it so far. Crysis 1? Still jump into it once in a while for full playthroughs or messing with the editor. Probably finished start-to-finish about 5 times now, similar for Warhead. Haven't checked out Crysis 3 yet. Just my own experience but make with that what you will.
To go a little more into detail, I normally love urban settings. For Crysis though, I was ready to continue the storyline set at the end of Crysis 1 and Warhead, yet we get a completely different situation. The story would've been better set in Los Angeles or San Francisco as they were much closer to the island of the original. I wanted to hear what was happening in Japan, Korea, the coasts of China. The heroics, battles, tragedies, massacres, all that good stuff. The disappointment soured me a lot, similar to what Mass Effect 3 brought after two amazing previous entries to me.
Maybe I'll just have to revisit Crysis 2 and try to put it all out of my mind.
That’s what upset me the most. The ending of Crysis really set up for an amazing sequel. Prophet was still alive and Nomad set out to rescue him. Then Crysis 2 comes out and totally forgets everything. No nomad, no island and a totally different Alien from the first Crysis. The gameplay mechanics and everything about Crysis 2 was just off. It didn’t feel like A Crysis game. Wish they didn’t name it Crysis 2. I’m hoping with Crysis Remastered it sells really well and Crytek will make a true a sequel to the original Crysis. Consoles are a lot more powerful now and shouldn’t hold back a true sequel to the first game.
Fantastic!!!!
