Crysis Discussion Thread

[Soviet]

I would say Crysis is definitely not linear. Yes the map is not randomized but you can solve the set piece in an almost infinite number of ways, unlike some other FPS games that have released lately.

 

[BlitzForce]

yes, but the same thing always happens in terms of where the enemies are, where they spawn, etc

I guess I prefer more of a sandbox game with an ecosystem environment that goes on and does it's own thing with or without you. That would be the ultimate. I think FarCry2 may be more along those lines, and maybe DDay 1944

 

[DraKon2k]

and maybe DDay 1944

LOL yeah.

That game would be called Stalker, and it's been released already. Hopefully more games will follow Stalker's lead in gameplay. So far I'm extremely impressed by the Crysis gameplay, which so far sits in between Stalker and COD4. But hey we haven't seen the full game yet. One more thing: I hate the infini-spawning enemies in COD4 but I got along with the spawn-once-per-map-load enemies of Stalker.

PC Zone have given Crysis 92%

The review was pretty **** though, PC Zone reviews are a bit lack-lustre these days in my opinion (they seem to give console ports higher scores than proper PC games, Crysis and STALKER have far more depth than Bioshock). Anyway the reviewer pointed out the final part of the game was poor, and the Alien bits are less exciting as the Korean bits.

Can anyone tell me why my game looks like this? D:

My specs are:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4600+
2.41 GHz
3 GB RAM
GeForce 7900 GS

Time to reinstall drivers. D;

 

[Zell]

dernit

 

[Zell]

The hell? I updated drivers and it looks the same. It seems that every single object is invisible on my screen, and shader effects don't work either. And for some goddamns reason the screen is overlaid onto the top left quarter of my monitor also. None of this makes sense, and I kind of really want to play this game.

 

[Cpt. Razzamataz]

You need to put your shader settings on high. The same things happened to me.

 

[Dcode]

Same here.

 

[Zell]

That's such a weird problem, but it worked. And the game now runs at a slideshow, but at least it looks pretty.

 

[DraKon2k]

So, who's going to actually buy this? And what would you take if you had to choose between ut3 and crysis? Both are (probably) coming next week and I'm afraid I'll only have the money for one of them.

 

[Soviet]

Crysis is the only game I would consider getting before the new year

 

[Coey]

I got the same blackout problem when I played the GRAW demo. I didn't want to fix it.

 

[DeviantChild]

Would definitely recommend buying this when it comes out. The singleplayer is TOP notch.

Here's some screenshots from one of the later levels I'm playing through:

[Slinky]

yeah if i only could run it at max settings, even at medium in many places it lags

 

[Soviet]

Time to upgrade. Tis the price of PC gaming.

On another note . . . why do people play and like Mario Galaxy? I checked out some youtube videos . . are people out of their freaking minds? Is the world going to come to an end soon?

 

[Xendance]

This game is full of itself (+crap and bugs) if you ask me.

 

[Soviet]

Which game, you mean Bioshock?
