Crysis 3 is not bad if you know what to expect, it just doesn't continue the large open levels like Crysis 1. It is a lot more linear and "cinematic" with cut scenes and stuff, but not as linear as CoD for example. The areas are still fairly large and open at times, just not Crysis 1 large. The gameplay itself is still better than average and the art design of the levels is gorgeous at times. It has a bunch of good levels with excellent atmosphere, like the swamp at night and the high grass area where you get hunted by the aliens. The story telling is bad, like a bad movie trying hard to be epic (Independence Day 2 comes to mind). It can be enjoyable if you don't expect something like Crysis 1. I'd say its stuck somewhere between Crysis 1 and CoD like games, tending more into the CoD direction but it is competent as such.
Don't forget how every levels starts by listing your location and local time, exactly like in Call of Duty. It's hilarious how much they wanted that audience.Also it feels more and more like Call of Duty as you play, with soldier companions, "hoo-rah!" dialogue, objective markers constantly floating around and standoff missions against waves of retarded AI.
Damn bro... How many hours a day do you game?

Crysis 3 took me 9 hours to finish, so divide that by 4 days equals 2 or so hours a day. Also worth noting I'm an ESOL/GED teacher with very little to do at the moment.
I didn't realize it was that short. I don't know why, but for some reason I was thinking it was around 20 hours or something like that.
I remember that dam level. It actually gave me some Deus Ex vibes with all those ventilation shafts and small side entries sprinkled about in that section. That is definitely one of the best levels. But the most annoying part for me was the vtol flying section close to the end where you had to man the gun. I played on post-human? or whatever the highest difficulty is called, and that was the only section where i died repeatedly. Everything else was fairly easy due to overpowered stealth. They really should have given the ai ways to counter stealth or made its use a lot more taxing/requiring more updates to be useful.Finished Crysis 3. I'd say overall the gameplay is pretty good and well beyond Crysis 2. When it goes full "open area with an objective you can tackle multiple ways" like the first game it shines a bit. Not as good as the original, but pretty enjoyable. It never goes full Call of Duty like 2 did until arguably the very end, and though the aliens still aren't as fun to fight as the humans usually they're not too bad. There's a level before the ending where you're in a big area with 3-4 mortars to take down and even though it's aliens you can play it very stealthy and with varying approaches. It's good stuff. Favorite level was an early one with a big dam you had to blow up though, and lots of different ways to get that done. Crysis 2 had a few good levels and a lot of shitty ones, but I'd say the majority of Crysis 3 is enjoyable. I found the last level insanely tedious though so I dropped it from hard to easy to get it over with. Hard mode was pretty easy overall anyway though, as stealth is still OP.
Story still sucks, though Psycho adds a bit to it. Graphics are quite good usually but the game has a very dark and gloomy overall look which never goes away. Could have used a few more sunshine levels, there's literally only one of them.
I still don't know what "Battle Royale" even means and I feel good somehow about not wanting to find out.

Of course the Japs already figured it out long before The Hunger Games became a thing.

Pft, white trash, as usual, was ahead of the curve on this one:
