Well we've only played the demo so there may be some goodies later on that will blow me away, but right now it's like FC2 with superb graphics. I still really liked the demo. I couldn't disagree more that the suit is "mildly useful" Speed, invisibility, strength are terrific ways to vary up the gameplay, and that you have only a couple seconds of each tempers it from becoming too godlike. The manner they implemented it with the mouse gesture is simplistic and genius. The pre-release vids seemed intimidating. Modding the guns isn't something to do on the run, but when would you really have time to in the middle of a firefight? AI wasn't that impressive. Vehicles run a bit slower than they should I think. The game runs great on my system at 16x12 (C2d, 8800gts640). I thought there'd be no way I could run it on High but it's very smooth. I'm impressed.
Problem is...you can go through the WHOLE demo without using anything but max armor and strength (to jump in the spots it forces you to). You never really need or have use for the cloak or the speed ever.
It's a gimmick.

Doesn't do it for me. Too much like Far Cry. Also, it doesn't look as good because my card (Radeon x850) needs set to low quality. Can't afford a quality dx10 card at this time.

It'll be awesome killing soldiers in a jungle... and then overpowered aliens/mutants will ruin it. Exactly like Far Cry...

I think the gameplay is average to above average, by comparison to all FPS games. If you could take the graphics of Crysis with the gameplay feel of HL2 *OR* RainbowSix3 it would be a perfect game IMO. I'm a fan of realistic damage, which is why i'd suggest rainbow-like play/damage. You shouldn't need to hit a guy 8 times with a .45 just to drop him...
Also, from long distances your bullets do no damage. I shot a guy with a full clip in single fire mode (I saw him to the "ouch" animation every shot) and he didn't go down.

yes, sub-sonic ammunitions, but still the damage needs some fixes I think. I hit a guy in the face 2 or 3 times before it killed him.

The damage DOES need some fixing but 3 times to the face???
How so?
Look at what I did:
Crysis Demo - Gameplay - 3 Headshots

So many disenchanted gamers, perhaps it is time to take up a different hobby that can occupy that time slot? Speaking for myself, I can never get enough of the good stuff, and shoot 'em up, bust 'em up, blow 'em up, is the good stuff. All these cries for originality, fresh game play, new plotlines, ect. I would welcome them as well, but I'm not complaining about them going to the well too often though.
When a game takes my favorite elements from shooters and puts them together, I'm stoked. I just keep my expectations simple, my suspension of disbelief handy, and my cynical critic side in check, and it is amazing how many hours of fun it results in. But hey, if you want to bag on every game that has garnered any sort of "hype" as overrated, meh, uninspired, ect. then I certainly hope you enjoy doing it, because reading posts, you damned sure aren't enjoying gaming, you poor bastages. Or is it just that same old story about the rebel without a clue type, that must hate on anything popular? Not that I care, I'm just sayin', I'm just sayin'.
