Crysis

[paragon]

What are your thoughts on this game. I think visually it looks very good. I played Farcry and I thought it was a good game. I didn't like the super rampaging mutant monkeys though. I was playing on super realistic hardest mode because that's how I roll and in this mode you basically die if you get shot once or twice depending on the weapon because you are wearing a t-shirt.

[DontHate]

looks beutiful, but i'm gonna need to spend like 2k's for a new rig. Anywho anything made by Crytech seems to be good and it looks beuitful. Yea i can't wait :D. Did i mention it looks beutiful?

NECROPOST!!

Links to follow, cause they're huge, and I dun want them resized.

Here's (http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa98/ZOMGie/CrysisIsWin.jpg?t=1194386400) a comparison of the game and real life.

[-LT-]

:o That's all I will say.

[Gasmaskguy]

Throwing people looks fun :D

Yeah, i've been looking forward to this game since I first saw it.

[MarineCorp]

It looks great the game but i couldn't believe that Crysis lost to CoD4:Modern Warfare on graphics in the E3 awards -.-

[Fenix]

I can't believe it could loose to anything there. Yeah, CoD's got godly graphics.....But that side by side comparison? With out labels, I'm pretty sure I couldn't tell which is which.

[Shadowdragon]

Graphics only count for so much, and that's all I've heard about it.

Seems pretty standard...

[terranupmyheart]

it seemed like the graphics got downgraded from their e3 showing last year

[The Watcher]

There are some other points that seem pretty cool game play wise.

You can fully customize all the guns, put a scope on a assult rifle, silencer on any gun etc...

The suite, while similar things have been seen, has defiantly given more branches of how to approach the game, I'm fairly certain they will not force you to use a certain power up of the suit, except in a few points, like maybe a wall is blocking you, break it down with super strength.

I will be stealth all the way! A silencer on every gun, and the camouflage will be used often by me.

Its a definite buy for me when it comes out, I'm getting a new comp, which if you haven't seen why is a must!!!

[Gasmaskguy]

I just played thru the beta (with a major lag up my @$$ :D), and I can tell ya, using stealth and "maximum speed" was awesome! You sprint by holding left shift, and doing that while using the speed powerup was just TOO fast! If you ever get in deep trouble, just run away by doing that. :)

[The Watcher]

Dang I didn't know the beta was out!

thanks gas I'm going to download it on my semi good comp.

please don't say its closed beta and you somehow got in. :upset:

[Gasmaskguy]

No, everybody can download it, as far as I know.
I think of my computer as semi good too. I can play DoW, HL2 etc on it, but when it come to Crysis... LAG :P

[PKZeppelin]

I'm gonna dowload it tomorrow. I hope it will not lag as much as S.T.A.L.K.E.R v1.0 . :)

[The Watcher]

I just played the demo AWESOME, is just one of the words that describes it, all of it.

You really have to think of how to use the suite to kill the baddies, I personally rarely used strength to use a super melee to kill, instead I used the enhanced armor and shooting headshots.

A very interesting gun modification is the, well I forget the name, but It doesn't drain ammo when you shoot, but at the cost of firing speed, there will be a long cool-down before you can use the next shot; its very useful for sniping.

[Sagathox]

yeah using the "patch" to have all the weapons and fight against one of the "other bad guys", is just too cool, my pc is right now without a graphics card, but im getting back my old 8800, so lets hope it runs smooth, i dont like vista, and the ultra high on vista/direct x 10, is barely noticiable, so im sticking whit xp for a long time until they finally realize they screwed up whit their new os, oh by the way, use the mini nuke luncher, its just Awesome! oh and the helicopter also rocks

[Shadowdragon]

..in all honesty, I had more fun with Timeshift.

[-LT-]

The game is great! I just bought it and I can't stop playing it!

[Warlord]

Oh, it will lag.  Hell, it lags on most high-end PC's.  That is, until you tweak it.

Gorgeous game.  Absolutely gorgeous.  Not to mention extremely open-ended gameplay, realistic levels of difficulty, and an exponential fun factor.

Yes, I am a fanboy :P


..in all honesty, I had more fun with Timeshift.

I will pray that you were joking.

Timeshift, IMO, was simply a standard shooter: very linear. It looked nice and the time-control ability was a novelty, sure, but that just doesn't cut it. All of its upsides were overshadowed by massive A.I. problems, a repetitive story, and sub-par cut scenes. If I want a standard shooter, I will seek out one that is purely that: a shoot-em-up. Something like Quake 4 or UT3.


Merged posts. Please read the forum rules and do not double post.

I played this on Ultra High and it's seriously hard to tell apart from real life. This is probably the only game that actually makes full use of my rig.

[Shadowdragon]

Looks like Warlord got my point! It was a standard shooter, but it's a standard shooter that doesn't need vista and a monster comp to run. This puts it much higher then the standard shooter that Crysis is. In terms of story, both of them pretty much blew. As for the A.I., I can't say I ever encoutered any massive A.I. problems. Let's go down the checklist:

Did the enemy shoot? Yes.

Did the enemy avoid running into walls? Yes.

result: A.I. is fine.

[Fenix]

I don't think so. You can hardly call that intelligence. If they're taking cover, formulating strategy, THAT's intelligence

[Wlck742]

Good example of AI = CoD4. That game has one of the best AI I've ever seen.

That link is my answer :P

[Shadowdragon]

I couldn't tell, I was to busy killing them to notice.

[Wlck742]

Crysis had really good AI when it came down to stealth, though. It was fun to see them panicking about as I picked them off one by one.

[-LT-]

The bad thing is that the stealth is disengaged when you shoot. :(

[Lobsterlegs]

You must have a crazy pc to play this..
Geforce 8800 is a must..
And a Dual Core or Quad Core CPU..
:O

[furrer]

The multiplayer sucks IMO.

[-LT-]

It's great! Why do you say so?

[longlivefenix]

im not allowed to buy crysis even though it is less violent than CoD4 IMO
but im definitely going to get farcry 2

o yea my pc runs crysis on med-high ok

[DontHate]

i have a question. I know my comp can run crysis on at least low, but do you know if i can run it on med or high?

I have a core 2 duo and great ram and whatnot, just the problem is my graphics card. Do you know if a 8600gt will suffice?

[-LT-]

I finished it! It's the best shooter I've ever played! :good:

[Wlck742]

@DontHate:

You'll probably be able to run Crysis on medium with some high settings sprinkled in. If you don't mind low fps then you could set all the settings to high, but I wouldn't recommend it. You could set all settings to medium with the shader effect turned up to high and raising a few other options as you feel necessary.

[DontHate]

awesome! I'm probably going to be getting this game next time i can afford it, which might be in a couple weeks.
