Crysis 2. Jesus, that soundtrack... And the set pieces... And the steady errosion of the situation as the city slowly dies. I have never seen anything like it in any media. It really feels like a humanitarian crisis of the real world but with aliens. It's absolutely breathtaking.
Okay as someone who played all Crysis games and played its competitors, I will say that Crysis 1 fans act like game is only first act of game. First game has great gameplay for 2007, and is pseudo successor of FarCry1. Honestly 2nd act of this game can be loved. If people weren't elitist about "immersive hardcore tactical shooter with touch of scifi". Crysis Warhead is a great followup to first game. Crysis 2 is influenced by COD but it manages to be crysis still. Problem was console restraints, they couldn't do much in x360 specs. Crysis 3 is an incredible achievement and shows Crysis 2 development time mostly went to upgrading the engine instead lf figuring out how to render large areas like in third game. Don't hate 2. They tried to make Crysis 3 the story they wanted to tell, causing some hollywoodification. But best gameplay of all franchise.
@@ibelieveingaming3562imagine if we got a Cinematic Universe about crysis. Like high quality depictions of games but telling stories untold. Since films and series can easily lead the visual direction without needing to put invisible walls etc, it would be perfect. Imagine this. Getting funding from a big company. Making Three different sets of tv series. Each of them focusing on usage of Armor Mode, Power Mode, Cloak. Same story in all three series. But how main character approaches situations and storycrafting changes depending on how each episode went.
I remember beating crysis 2 in a weekend as a middle schooler. One of the games I had the most fun on 7th gen. That TimeShift, Pain, mgs4, and bo1 were my everything
It would be cool if it would be a new benchmark base for all graphic cards to test. Like Welcome to the jungle level in Crysis 3 when door to Libery Dome opens
I suspect the horrendous performance on consoles is mainly to blame for C3’s tepid reception. The game frequently dipped below its 31 fps target on the 360 and PS3 and even when it did reach its target they were putting a 31 fps cap into a 60 hz container so you got constant judder/bad frame pacing on console. On PC the game worked much better and was a lot more fun even back then with more modest PC hardware. I love C2 and C3 and I replay them pretty often. I wish we got a map editor for C2 and 3, but alas.
I don't remember much from the multiplayer mode, but i do remember that you were able to pilot the ceph pinger and that the hunt mode was fun. I also have a vivid memory of killing the entire enemy team withing ten seconds of match start, with the ground smash ability.
30:00 i think i have one of my most memorable moments in gaming in crysis 3. It was the open beta for the multiplayer of the game and they had two or three gamemodes i believe. One of em was a predator mode. I was on the "human/cell" side and the last one alive. Usually the predotars are much stronger then the living ones cuz they have the suit. But i was rocking a shield sitting in some corridor. They eventually found me but before they could take me out, i punched the crap out of 6 or 7 other guys because they couldnt really get past my shield, probably because the game was totaly new and noone knew really knew how to counter it in that moment. I remeber the kill cam, it was a bow guy that got me and maybe on his screen he hit me somewhere else but in the killcam the arrow cleary just flew straight trough the shield. My heart was racing after nearly taking out all of em even though they respawned and you would have needed to survive the timer to win the round. Cant remember how much longer i would have needed to surive but if i did, it would have definetly been my most clutch moment ever in gaming
Not gonna lie, 3 is my favourite of the trilogy; I only thought they got better over time. I didn't care too much for the immersive sandbox of the original and wished I could get from story beat to story beat more quickly and the sequels did exactly that. I did love the gun customisation of the original though. Although I have lots of memories of Crysis 2's mutliplayer I have almost no memories of 3. I think the novelty of using invisibility/armor in a "COD-like" had worn off by then and it wasn't as good as it's contemporaries by that point.
Crysis 3 missed a bit on the tone of the story I belive. Too over the top when compared to 2 and the original. But from a gameplay perspective it is my second favourite in the series. My favourite is the original (and warhead) especialy on Delta difficulty, realy turns the game into a semi tactical experience.
The swap from having to use stealth because everything could kill you very easily to you have to run and gun like never before because everything could kill you very easily, was not a fun shift in gameplay. I love Crysis 1, but it just kinda swaps speeds so fast the latter half of the game doesn’t even feel like it’s the same game
10:13 Oh I have some good new for you. That's practically how it is in Warframe lol. Practically invincible with a bow that does a couple million damage. Also Crysis 3 was the only game I finished in the Crysis series. I started 1 and 2 but got bored of them cause I felt restricted in how I wanted to play. 3 was actually fun and during that time I was on SLI GTX670 so I was testing if I can play this game in practically ultra settings in 1080p when 1080p was the top of the line lol.
The first Crysis is still my favorite, simply for the nostalgia factor. Back then I had less money, more free time and I was just happy to run that "beast" on medium settings. 🖥 Nowadays, realistic graphics that melt your PC are no longer a "thing", instead it's all about getting the highest fps. ⏩
Crysis has always been a interesting series it just really sad how it ended up where it did. I always talk about how I don't even know they made that quality for the games for the consoles back in the day especially working with a new engine and not that many people working compared to bigger studios. I def remember the Crysis series though I had fun playing all of the games
So what exactly happened to Alcatraz? I mean I know he was a silent protagonist in 2 but it seems that Prophet took over his body which just seems weird
I’ve also always wondered this. I believe it’s loosely implied that Alcatraz’s brain just… dies during one of the times the suit jump-starts his heart to keep his body moving, while the suit was also growing into his open and fatal wounds received throughout the entire game. Kind of like a reanimated corpse, piloted by AI.
1:07 should encapsulate the overall TRUE opinion of this game, C3 is the best game EVER IMO, it's in my top [5] EASY. C2 has many more levels, C3 exceeds that game it's just shorter that's it, C3 sales should of never killed the franchise, go play this game, particularly the The Root of All Evil level where he's in a rainforest fighting CELL, and scan the environment and tag the enemies, and use your Bow and other guns and if you don't think that level alone, that experience alone is good, you're a hater, this game is crazy good
It IS not. Just because they introduced the bow and they managed to make the stealh work. You cant play crysis 2 stealth the three games are excellent. I Think i like 2 and 3 equally. I prefer the setting in the 2 and Gameplay from 3.
Can we all just agree that Crysis 1 is the worst game in the series? It's not a bad game at all, it's great actually, but it's definitely the least interesting as well as the least polished game in the series and the open world mechanic didn't add anything to the game. The suit being streamlined to just armor and cloak also makes more sense from a gameplay perspective and Crysis 3 handles suit powers and abilities the best of the three titles (tho Crysis 2 is still my favorite in the trilogy). Some could argue that it makes it more casual and more CoD-like, but I'd rather a game that does a better job than CoD than a game that has good ideas but flawed executions.
I did a playthrough of all crysis games and for me crysis 3 was definitely the worst. Crisis 1 has a good big sandbox and fun combat encounters, warhead is the same as crysis 1 but more fast paced and more concise than crysis 1. Crysis 2 diched the open big sandbox of its predecessor but it still had good environment design and layout eventho it was way more linear. But crysis 3, eventho it looks stunning, it feels like a worse version on crysis 2 in mechanics, level design and story. Its also way shorter than the predecessor. In trying to cater to the fans of crysis 1 open-ended levels and the more concise crysis 2 style, you just get a game that doesn't excel at any of them. By al means, crysis 3 is not BAD, just mediocre

What is your favorite Crysis game?
The first one is my favorite.
Crysis 2.
Jesus, that soundtrack... And the set pieces... And the steady errosion of the situation as the city slowly dies.
I have never seen anything like it in any media. It really feels like a humanitarian crisis of the real world but with aliens.
It's absolutely breathtaking.

all of them
for me its like replaying the first game then the motivation hits and i replay the entire trilogy
Crysis 3 is actually of my one of my three favourite video games of all time
What are other 2 games
I remember beating crysis 2 in a weekend as a middle schooler. One of the games I had the most fun on 7th gen. That TimeShift, Pain, mgs4, and bo1 were my everything
All the crysis games are good.
I want to believe and I believe that Crysis 4 will be breathtaking and a huge blockbuster!
If they do a good job it will be a return to form to good video games
It would be cool if it would be a new benchmark base for all graphic cards to test. Like Welcome to the jungle level in Crysis 3 when door to Libery Dome opens
@@Dominik40301 As long as it's designed to run on consoles as well, we will never have the Crysis 1 and Warhead huge maps.
11 year old game that looks better than most games released in 2024
I suspect the horrendous performance on consoles is mainly to blame for C3’s tepid reception.

They should have waited for ps4 and xbox1 to release this but they got greedy for sales and wanted the bigger install base of 360 and ps3
Good stuff brother, keep up the good work
I remember playing Crysis 3 back on the PS3. I had no clue what the hell that multiplayer was, but i kinda miss it..
@vonhengt8592 well loser it's a game where a bunch of players play lol, say, 2,3,4, 50 lol, do you get that?
Crysis 1’s multiplayer was an even more confusing fever dream
I don't remember much from the multiplayer mode, but i do remember that you were able to pilot the ceph pinger and that the hunt mode was fun. I also have a vivid memory of killing the entire enemy team withing ten seconds of match start, with the ground smash ability.

Also if you use a silenced weapon while cloaked you won't decloak unlike how you would in 1 and 2.

The graphics in 3 still shock me on 360, I don't know how they got it running without frying consoles.
It does look pretty good on 360, but the performance was really poor.
IDK I liked Crysis 1 the least
The swap from having to use stealth because everything could kill you very easily to you have to run and gun like never before because everything could kill you very easily, was not a fun shift in gameplay.

crysis 3 is most underrated game in history of gaming
No that would go for titanfall 2
@@kevingame3198 yeah titanfall 2 too
btw great quality video
its good to have these in depth analysises while crytek is radio silence making crysis 4 in shadows.
keeping the hype alive
One thing we all would want would be that a series that delve into how this tech works and a sherlock style tech and implementation exposition.

HANS ZIMMERS MUSIC IN CRYSIS 2 MADE THE ENTIRE GAME
Good analysis
The first Crysis is still my favorite, simply for the nostalgia factor. Back then I had less money, more free time and I was just happy to run that "beast" on medium settings. 🖥
Nowadays, realistic graphics that melt your PC are no longer a "thing", instead it's all about getting the highest fps. ⏩
Until now crysis warhead has no remaster😔 i like it more than crysis 1.

My god, he’s done it again! The Con Man never disappoints!
personally i had a lot of fun with the multiplayer of C3, movement and weapons felt great, and the hunter mode was a blast.
They’re all great imo. I love the first half of 1 and warhead the most on harder difficulty, but 2/3 are half life 2 levels of epic

Hope you are excited for crysis 4
Crysis was always peak wtf u mean
Only Crysis 1 was the game the rest was console as games, not true PC games.
