My full crysis review( in 1 word-ZOMG!)

[FrostyBoy]

Take note that we have no nuclear power plants here.

Ernest Rutherford was such a prankster.

Vesayen, how did you get the full game a few days before release?

[Asher]

Same reason I have a copy of the full game.

[Quillan]

I got my copy yesterday. I had it on pre-order through EBGames website, with next day air shipping. They sent it out Monday. However, unlike Vesayan, I am NOWHERE near finished. I am assaulting the harbor now, which is in the fourth "chapter", for lack of a better term (Loading screen). I do a lot of sneaking, and that takes time, so I'm sure I'll have plenty of play time invested in this by the time I finish.

I don't have major performance issues, with a system similar to Vesayan has, but I do get the odd slowdown. It hasn't crashed yet, and I like what I've seen so far.

[FrostyBoy]

Right, the pre-order, forgot about that.

[Asher]

Sure. Pre-order...

[Main_Brain]

What else? Surely none of us law-abiding citizens would download backup-copies of the Game?



Asher would not do it, they have Mounties over there

Demo sucked. People expecting the best game ever will get it, if only because of how psychology works...

Isn't that the opposite of what you argued in the Halo3 threads?

[Asher]

Nope.

[Kuciwalker]

The only thing about the Halo 3 demo that was supposed to suck was the graphics - and that was excusable, as they didn't have many of the new models in.

[DrSpike]

I didn't mean the demo sucked part, just the rest.

[Krill]

So worth buying then

[Asher]

Finally a sensible review.

For the 0.2% of the PC market that has an SLI system, Crysis is the shiznit. For these lucky few, mind-blowing graphics elevate what would otherwise be just another solid shooter into the realm of must-have gaming. Sadly, for those of us without golden toothbrushes, private jets and PCs from the future, it remains just a solid shooter, that isn’t in quite the same league as other recent triple A releases.

I don't really disagree with his commentary about the graphics, but it's obvious he missed something. When talking about the destructible environment, he says

If only the game included a chain-gun, we'd all be living the Predator dream.

The game DOES include a chain gun. I first found one when I got near the mine.

I adjusted mine to get playable frame rates, and was able to get it looking a little better than Far Cry while still giving acceptable performance. I do find it a bit frustrating that a game 3 years after Far Cry only looks slightly better with similar performance, however, I do think the gameplay mechanics have been improved.

Do I think Crysis is the best FPS ever released? No. I do think it's a really good game, but everyone is going to find something different in it. I personally think HL2 is the best FPS I've ever played, and some of you dislike it. Oh well, opinions vary. I think this one is worth trying out.
