Let's be honest guys. The original game wasn't really that stellar. The gameplay quickly degenerated into a pretty boring Predator simulator and even that was made impossible later on. For all the talk of freedom the game supposedly provided, it was pretty linear about everything. I still have no clue why they even made that humungous island, when you only got to see a tiny fraction of it.

Warhead on the other hand was awesome. They made the plot somewhat coherent, spiced up the gameplay and didn't ditch the Koreans in the final chapters like the original. The only thing that I can complain about are the toned down graphics.

Crysis 1 was the last game I played where the game play was designed for PC. Without having to limit functionality to aim with a controller or fit a map in 256 mb of RAM. It showed. It wasn't necessarily better than the games that came before it, but it was good and it sure is pretty.

It could be the best tactical man-shoot ever and RPS would feel the need to act superior over it anyway.

Guess mainstream media is trying to pretend they are credible all of a sudden. "Look at me, ma, I can grade AAA stuff with a 7!"

They should turn up the contrast some more, I can still kind of see things in the shadows.

Didn't they at some point say that Crysis 3 will be f2p?
When did they change their mind about that?

After years of 9-10 being for their advertisers, 8 being for generic AAA that they must love to fit in and not get embargoed, and 7 being for everything else unless trying to appeal to the weekly hipster fad, I'm glad to see that we have made this first step.

Courtesy to the Swedish :M, I played an hour or two of Crysis 3.

"Very impressive", is the first thing you're probably gonna say. Graphics and sound are absolutely outstanding. But as you keep playing, you soon realize what a fucking trite piece of shit this game is. You get rushed from one map note to another, like in Crysis 2, only this time the pacing is a lot worse. Stealth bowing Cell dudes to get from A to B, cutscene with Psycho, rush through high grass while being bombarded by laser turrets, wade through some more grass and play matador and bull with Ceph, then the same over again. They sure managed to let those maps look a lot bigger than they actually are. The whole level design is like one big film set. Boring, underwhelming, but pretty. Very pretty.

Why would you want to play it? Just watch some HD videos, jerk off to the graphics and call it a day.

True, because games are all about jerking off to the graphics. /skyway
