Crysis WTF

As some of you may know, im playing through Crysis at the moment!

I thought it would be a generic shooter, boring and all..


But no, its beautiful, the mechanics are near perfect and the suit gives soo many ways to approach any situation.

To everyone whos labelled this as just another shooter, look again its definetly the best shooter out on the market at the moment!


F.ucking amazing game!


argghhhhhhhhhhhhh

That' s why I said this was the second best game of last year, only behind Mass Effect. Even Mass Effect only scraped by it imo. I love Crysis. Absolutely great game.

I am not doubting that it is a great game and all as I have not played through it, but would you be saying the same things about the game if it were out on PS3 or 360?

Most wanted games:

Mass Effect
Assasins Creed
Crysis
Little Big Planet
Drakes Fortune
UTIII
Kane and Lynch
Heavy Rain
Alan Wake

Does it matter? I' m a console gamer and this shit all over most of what the consoles brought to the table last year.

What do you mean?

There' s no FPS on 360 (forget PS3) that is as well rounded and impressive as Crysis.#

The best FPS on consoles is CoD4, and that' s available on PC in a superior form. The best FPS on PC however is Crysis. It' s really that simple.



Has anybody noticed that the people here who have showered Crysis with the praise it well deserves happen to be the only ones with powerful enough rigs to run it in it' s full glory?

that' s because everyone else is worried about their computer not handling it.

Can you map the suit functions to keys? thats my only concerne really. Id like to be able to cloak, select strength and pummel a korean to death without him knowing what hit him.

I dunno. I never customize my key layouts. Always use the default.

You finally have the game /played it then

Now you realise why I haven' t been atall excited or bothered about Console FPS' s :) (and your Rigs even better than mine, so your playing it slightly smoother).

Currently playing:
Korg DS 10 (ds) /  Metal Slug 7 (ds)
Rhythm Heaven (ds) /  Fire Emblem (ds)
Super Stardust HD (psn) /  Virtua Fighter 5 (360)
FSX (P

That' s all I wanted to know, thanks Rampage.

Guess I am going to have to see off one of the kids to help pay for a rig that can play this game.

Most wanted games:

Mass Effect
Assasins Creed
Crysis

I want to play it but if I buy it I don' t know if my PC will even run it.

Guys you can scale down the graphics (It will still look good). Its not like you run it all or nothing. I heard that almost any 3years old PC can run it good. Welcome to PC gaming!

Can you map the suit functions to keys?

Why map them? Press and hold middle mouse and select which mode that you want. Works flawlessly.

I can run it no problem. I didn' t like it, but I only played the demo.

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

Now you realise why I haven' t been atall excited or bothered about Console FPS' s :)

One good game doesn' t mean others should be ignored. By that logic I shouldn' t have cared about CoD4 or Halo after I played Bioshock since I thought, and still think it is a better game(single player).

I' d highly recommend giving the full game a try. I played the demo first and thought it was too much like Far Cry. But once I got past that stage in the full game I was very impressed.

Maybe I' ll give it a shot. I thought the idea behind the gameplay was good, but from the demo it seemed poorly executed.

That' s like saying would Halo 3 be good on a PS2? The game simply isn' t possible on a lesser platform.

The thing with Crysis is that higher graphics are not superficial. In every game up to Crysis higher settings mean less compressed textures, better effects blah blah blah. In Crysis " Very High" setting means that you forget you' re playing a videogame. I' m not even sure it' s appropriate to call Crysis a videogame, that' s how impressive it is. The definition of " videogame" needs to be updated to accommodate the game.

It' s so fun that I' m surprised it' s not illegal.

Why map them? Press and hold middle mouse and select which mode that you want. Works flawlessly.

Its too slow, a singular key stroke is much fast.

Suitshort cuts helps a bit, but double tapping keys is annoying.

Not really no!

One good thing doesnt limit or hinder my enjoyment with others.

I was playing last night, i took out a technical with a rifle grenade and 2 guys that were standing in close proximity but on opposite ends of a shipment container (and so couldn' t see each other) started to run away from the blast and ended up running right into each other, knocking themselves on their asses. One of the funniest things i' ve seen in a videogame.

lol!

Just a thought, how do i fire grenades from my rifle

' X' changes the fire mode. Automatic, semi-automatic or grenade launcher.

You need to have the grenade launch attached though... obviously.

Even the pistol has a 2 round burst which i didn' t realize until i' d nearly completed the game on my first play through

Ohh cool, i find pistols mostly useless except for closeup stealth kills, my prefered weapon is the shotgun, decloaking infront of someone and blasting them with a shotgun is great fun

I' m still holding off playing Crysis until I can play it in its full glory with a smooth framerate in dx10. I dont have that much money yet!

Plus I' m not buying Vista yet. I heard the SP1 update didn' t really do much for improving gaming performance. [:' (]

Thats because anyone with a lower rig wont be able to play it very well. I watched a vid of the demo being played on a rig with a Nvidia Geforce 7300GT and it worked perfectly. I have the same graphics card but i find the screen split in 2. I see one quarter of the screen playing the images in full and the other 3 quarters play 3 quarters of the screen. In simple words the top left of the screen plays the game as well as the others. But the top left has its own screen sort of. This is confusing even me. But i hope you understand what i mean.

Why are we here, you ask? Nobody knows, so shut up.

It sounds like you need to update your graphics drivers or something.

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

So i completed Crysis, super game all in all, the Korean aspects were by far the most fun. And its where the suit powers really come in to play.

I think the Witcher wil be my next PC title!

Witcher is an awesome game .. I had to stop playing because my crappy pc couldnt handle it properly .. I got sick of waiting for the damn thing to load ...

I' d actually hold off for a bit there. In May, there will be an Enhanced version of The Witcher available. You can still buy the game now if you want, as people who have already bought it will be able to download the enhanced version as a giant patch.

Just thought I' d let you know, as the new version will have some major improvements. I bought The Witcher months ago but just couldn' t get into it at the time, so once the update comes out I intend to give it my full attention.

Yeah i heard of that! when is the big patch due out?

This game KICKS ASS!

I climbed a guard tower cloaked snuck behind a guard, I switched to super strength while his back was turned (facing the ladder). I punched him off the tower and he landed on two other guards. One of them appeared to be in a lot of pain as he slowly willed himself back up so I tossed him a grenade to put him out of their misery.

ROFL..

I managed to take a chopper out with a single rocket the other day. It was flying low to the ground so i fired the rocket above it and brought it down on top of the fuc.ker - forcing it into the ground.

***ing helicopters, I hate them. They always manage to show up just after I use my last rocket. One of these days I' ll take out a helicopter with C4. Come a little closer, I dare you... I double dare you asshole.

Ever been killed by debris from your own grenade?

I was messing around with fraps earlier and managed to kill myself...



I then spent 20 minutes trying to replicate it and the closest i could get was this...



It was probably that fuc.king thing that took my head off the first time

No, but I accidentally blew myself up with a grenade once. I wanted to pick up a gun (f) but I pressed (G) instead. Ooops. I' m pretty clumbsy with a M&K.

I want to try some single player mods. The mods are where this game can really shine.
Just an example of what is be possible:

That one lets you use your wiimote with the game. VF would cream himself if he sees this.

My XPS M1730 arrived this morning. It plays Crysis on high @ 1920 x 1200 no AA.

It' s a fuc.king monster!

Just over £2000 after my discount.

Huh?

How the hell did you manage that? That frag was ages away when it went off. Does Crysis actually simulate shrap, or is it just a proximity thing?
