I finally beat Crysis

[Cheex]

After starting several times, and then stopping...

I finally made up my mind to beat the damn thing. I mean I beat COD4 in less than a week...

Anyway, I finally beat it and I'm glad...

The ending was cool I think and I'm definitely looking forward to the sequel.

Thank you for listening to my babbling...

:thumbsup: to me...

A week to finish COD4? I finished it in 1 sitting.

Crysis was cool. It had a cool story and made me in tune with the game. I thought the story was epic like star wars but video game scale.

 

[LightningRider]

Yeah. Crysis' story is kind of generic but there's nothing wrong with that. It was well done for the most part I thought, and kept me interested.

 

[Cheex]

I agree with you both. I'm just happy to know that I finally finished it.

COD4 and Crysis are the only 2 games I've finished in a LONG time. All the others have been only partially played and so done just for the fun of it.

Like FarCry...After the Trigens and the super soldiers started getting too hard, i just stopped.
F.E.A.R. freaks me out sometimes so I don't play it much.

Well, you guys get the whole idea.

Oh...@ Azn: I said COD4 took me LESS than a week. Total playing time...less than 20 hours I'm sure...

i thought the ending was a little disappointing.

i'd be pissed if i finished a game in 1 sitting.

I should hope it took less than 20 hours unless you really suck.
Crysis is lucky to have 10 hours of gameplay in it, and some of that is just running to the next area of enemies, or waiting around while your suit/health recharges.

I love replaying the first half of the game, once you get inside the mountain with zero g the game gets a little tedious.

I stopped playing for a little while after I got out of the mountain. But like you I decided to finally finish it. IMO the first half is waaaay better - boss battles become really stupid and the aliens are annoying. I loved killing koreans and sneaking through the jungle, though.

At first I hated the alien part... but once I got a little further into it, I felt like I was watching, was part of, or in a movie. Was overall very fun for me in the end. Though I have to say, the very final boss battle... lame.

without a doubt. the first half is also easier on my computer which made it funner. the first half also let's you play with so many styles. there's stealth, speed and strength. personally, i prefer spliner cell style but each his own. the part with the aliens is pretty much a race and the end is dissapointing.

That's the part where I started really liking the game, on the other hand I thought that the first half was a little tedious/repetitive with the North Koreans, what I mean is that the arrival of the aliens in Crysis during game-play had a positive effect contrary to the Trigens in FarCry, I always thought that the Trigens where literally out of place, not because of their nature, but because we've had absolutely no clues of their existence until you actually saw one of them dead on the floor in some building and the main character says "what the hell is this?" and then the other guy who "helps" you says "a Trigen", then my reaction was "ooooook... sure, and you want me to appreciate the way you guys present those things to me after going through half of the game without a single clue of these things? no thanks".

By contrast, in Crysis, you have a clue of what's going to happen later on right from the start of the game during the introduction scene, and very early in the first level. You just know that it will happen, and that I thought was a positive element, and I'm 100% convinced that CryTek did it on purpose not due to the story-line but exactly due to how they did it wrong with the Trigens (although many persons thought that the Trigens were not a bad thing in FarCry, it can be discussed I guess, to each their tastes, but I'm sure that the majority thought that they were just out of place, completely unfitting the context). In Crysis all you have to bear with is the apprehension of what you think might happen, but you do know that something will be there somewhere during the game that's not North Koreans only left and right wherever you go, and honestly if Crysis would have been a humans-shooting only game I would have found it boring to death, that alien/sci-fi element was needed and the story-line actually isn't bad at all.

Overall I liked Crysis but the first half reminds me of the second half in FarCry.

The existence of the aliens wasn't bad in Crysis - it just felt like the second half of the game was more rushed than the first. It was much more linear and the aliens weren't quite as fun to kill. They could have done some cool stuff like throwing icicles as spears or letting the player slide on the ice and maybe even melt it somehow.

Well to that I completely agree yes. Some more game-play variations during those levels would have been welcome indeed, and it is true that the later parts of the game are more "on-tracks" than the first part, but actually "exploring" the very large first levels serves no purpose whatsoever, there's no secrets to be unveiled, no places where you can find some secret weapon stashes or anything, it just reminds me of vanilla Oblivion and its vast territories of nothingness.

Don't get me wrong, I'm literally for a non-linear experience, but only if it actually brings a purpose, not just for eye candy or in name of "realism" in a video game.

I bought both games in early feb. Call od Duty 4 was beat lin a week.

Am still only on the 2nd area of Crysis. As pretty as it is that game offers no incentive to keep playing.


I am amazed at how "awesome" Crysis was, before it came out.
As soon as it was available and being played, the community lost about 99% of its interest in the game.

I think thats a classic example of Overhype.
