    no its not.

    It's poor FPS. Whole game design is basically:

    get some random goals,
    get some random village,
    get some random military barracks villages or whatever drop player
    give player gimmick to masturbate over and over again with it.

    Level design is abymysal. Only like 3 first missions are great and the more you go with alien plot the worse it becomes.

    Well Doom is basically
    get some random monsters
    get some random rooms
    get some random weapons
    get some random levels that make no sense as actual environments
    give player some temporary gimmicks through powerups

    I said: as plot progress toward hurr durr aliens game design becomes basically shit.


    FEAR was better game at every aspect, better level design, better gunplay, better AI and so on.

    Hey genius, FEAR is a completely different game. Crysis is a sandbox shooter with long distance combat, vehicle, and stealth elements. It manages these things very well, with AI that prioritizes threats and disturbances, and tightly balanced powers that lend themselves well to weaving through crowded jungle environments. The aliens part is also a relatively small portion of the campaign.

    Amen. I was going to mention SH3, but any console mention seems to be trollbait to some. Anyway, painting the Mona Lisa once was enough. Once you've gotten Neo-Classical art out of the way, there's no reason to redo it a thousand different times. :/

    As far as Crysis, Hero+Steroids=Meh! Just glad it runs on a lower end system, though it still appears like a tech demo, the same as for the various renditions of Unreal Tournament, over the years, as a demo for Epic's Unreal Engine. Too cliche.

    Concerning number 3, try LoL: Guardians of Destiny--the Dracoid Ruins.

    Sprites are underrated.

    This was posted on the Bard's Tale thread and I had fun imagining how they would make it work in a modern rpg. Waves of three Berserkers for the next twelve hours?
