Crysis 2 [Better than Call of Duty?]

Archive: 45 posts


If you haven't heard of Crysis 2 yet, then you MUST watch the trailers!!! It's a first person shooter and it's a sci-fi game and theme. It uses this gaming engine which is supposedly going to create the best graphics on any game console. Crysis 1 was on the PC and now it is even better on the PS3. It is like Call of Duty with perks/skills except better! Sneaking using invisibility, speed running and been hand-to-hand combat. You can teleport to enemies and kill them. The graphics look real and crystal clear. Multiplayer action in a destroyed New York environment. An easy GAME OF THE YEAR I think.

Anyone else think that is looks AMAZING?! Who all is planning to buy it and anyone want to make a clan for it?

It's out March 2011 sometime I hear.

Debatable

Anyways I've been through Crysis 1 and Crysis Warhead on PC, graphically the best thing on the market. Great gameplay too. This is looking to be real good, though I think the setting of 1 was better. I will admit, I was naughty, I couldn't help but try out the leaked beta. Personally I wanted to see if it was still worth getting on PC as they'd only shown off their console counter parts so far. Short answer is yes it's worth it, despite (from what I played) the game being a bit more linear. Not played multiplayer (and probably won't), but I will still get this .

Anyone with a gaming PC will most likely have put it through "The Crysis Stress Test" - as it's pretty much the bench mark for a gaming PC.

I thought Crysis was one of the best FPS games I had ever played - it reminded me of how impressed I was with the 1st Half-Life - just for graphical/gameplay impact.

Been waiting ages for Crysis2 - even if it is only "just as good" as Crysis 1 it will be 10x better than CoD.

Is it more or less linear than warhead? Warhead is pretty much the most linear I'd like a crysis game to be.

I'm a CoD fan (love Black Ops... and the fish is tasty ) but Crysis was a very high quality FPS in my standards. Not as good as Killzone 3 (I'm in love with it now! ), but still a very good quality game.

Now then, if only Resistance 3 came out now. :/

*Feels Less lonely *

Yeah I cant wait for Resistance 3 ^___^
And well...ont he whole question thing, Both are good but can you really compare these 2? O_O I mean...Call of Duty is somehow more realistic.

Crysis 2 is like a whole bunch of Iron Mans fighting each other after having 10 redbulls

They both look different...but Its kinda hard for me to choose >_______<.
Im still most likely getting crysis 2 though XD looks amazing.

WOOT WOOT! Viva la Resistance!

Since when was CoD ever realistic? Sure, it may be realistic because you use soldiers with no crazy physics like in Halo, but story wise (and some online wise) CoD over exaggerates everything. I never heard of a tomahawk take out a helicopter before. Not only that, but the story is also a bit exaggerated. Since when does a squad of 5-10 soldiers take out a full infantry? Black Ops, World At War (not including Zombies), CoD 2, and Modern Warfare were the closest to make an actual war scenarios from the entire CoD series. But that's not saying much considering none of them actually depict a war zone correctly.

....

Well, this has gotten a bit off-topic.

XD yeah Im sorry I didnt point that out >_< what I mean by realistic was just the....human part lol =P, But everything just like you pointed XD, very true.

And yes Resistance Rocks ...whoa sorry im getting off topic now >_< XD.
But I guess if you compare CoD with crysis 2, CoD is (a bit XD) more realistic In a way you know what I mean? But yeah like you said =).

And on a Random Side note, I just discovered the Cartoony fonts are here

....sorry... *hides*

Yeah! I'm super excited about Crysis 2! Finally a game with a story from the 90s with one super bad dude going around killing aliens. Enough of this faux-realism (lol cod and counterstrike) and more over the top action with completely awesome weapons like the ones in doom.

Edit: Oh and yeah it's pretty too I guess!

From what I played, more linear. Less room for adventure. Bear in mind I didn't play too much though so don't take my word for it.

just had a go at it (pc demo released) and...I dislike it, plays EXACTLY like the latest call of duty games, it looks worse than the first, has autoaim on by default on PC (WHY), no console/tweakable graphics on demo...ugh

now it's obvious to what audience they're aiming for.

"EXACTLY" like CoD?!

SO no Nano boosts skills like speed/strength/stealth/armour etc?

No realtime modding of attachments on your gun?

"Really"?

I'm sorry, but I really don't know what you mean - Crysis also had sections where you are driving tanks/helicopters etc... plus Aliens.

... so... not like CoD at all really?

WHat do you mean by "Plays 'exactly' like the latest call of duty games"?

too fast paced, they managed to not make it feel like the first crysis.

besides there are no vehicles in the demo yet, that could change in the full game.

Yeah, and most of the buildings were *mostly* destructable aswell.

Ahh well, we'll never get a console FPS as good as the PC counterpart - but it's sad when they dumb down a PC title to pander to the console crowd

Yeah Crysis multiplayer was something real special, it was amazing to have a day night cycle in a fps. I guess i'll try the demo but I'll probably stick to singleplayer.

EDIT: Just saw the options screen.. I'm not getting a good feeling about this game

Yep I've played the demo now. They've completely gutted the game and removed everything fluid about the suit system. You cannot even change suit modes when looking down the sights! Admittedly I use the wheel which I suppose you could argue against but it was fine in the first so why is it so bad now? I cannot see how the game is going to be any good in singleplayer with these issues and I think the mods are gonna take awhile to get in and fix this. So I won't be buying it until maybe next year depending on whether mods have brought back the true crysis experience.2011-03-02 18:05:00

For someone who has never played the first Crysis, liked the Killzone 3 beta, and is tired of the oversaturation of CoD, do you think I'd enjoy this game?2011-03-02 19:50:00

So I bought the game.
It's visually astonishing, even if I prefer Killzone 3.
The problem is gameplay.
The nanosuit is simply too much, too much stuff to handle, and as a player I feel like an idiot with superpowers.
And I don't find my powers adeguate.
It's useless that I can make a strategy through the visor when enemies respawn from out of nowhere and I can't even understand the place where I have to go and must go to youtube and see where the ******* I have to go.
I'm a little disappointed since the game gets on my nerves, and doesn't relax me.

My humble opinion? The single player is the best shooter this gen. Best graphics ever, visceral game play different from any other shooter I have ever played (and I have played a lot of shooters lol), sound design is crazy, reminds me of 'Heat' with all the echo and reverb of gunfire and it is has a length much longer then most shooter these days (I beat it in 10 hours, beat BO in 5.5...).

As for MP it's interesting but lacks the impact of CoD/BC2/KZ3, I just don't feel that need to hop on everyday and waste hours battling others that those other games gave me. Oh well, I guess we can't have it all

Unfortuanatly, I have to agree with Oldage on this one and sound like a grumpy PC elitist :/

The best thing about the first game was the freedom. The amount of open space and truly destructible environments (trees could fall, the shacks could be blown to pieces) in Crysis 1 it allowed you to approach situations in so many different ways. It was a joy to replay it over and over. Not only that, but the nanosuit was far better. Sure, it was a little bit more complicated, but it was so much smoother to use. Powers weren't mixed together, they were defined.

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING MAKING SPRINT A POWER :| In Crysis 1, you could sprint in any power without it draining energy (and you'd run as fast as in Crysis 2). However, the one exception was using the speed power, which make you INSANELY fast, and ran your energy to zero pretty quickly. This was brilliant, because you could escape firefights in a blink. Really felt like you had an awesome suit on. But it's not in C2 cause if you used it, you'd probably of reached the other side of the level :/ Then there's the Strength power, ruined again. It was far better in Crysis 1 when you could choose this power. There was no delay in jumping and punching (as in C2 you have to hold the button down). What was possibly the most awesome thing about it in C1 was also that if you shot in power mode in ADS, it would drain your energy slightly as you would have zero recoil. Your strength counteracted the recoil, and that was great.

And I'm still not done... WHY DOES YOUR ENERGY DECREASE IN ARMOR MODE :| This is another pointless addition. In C1 when you were in armor mode, which was the standard mode you'd be in if not in anything else, your energy would only decrease when shot/falling from great distances. This makes sense. In C2, it is constantly draining when on, and still when you get shot. This is because it's not the default power. Instead, your default power is NOTHING. That makes zero sense. Think about it - you would always want armor on from a defensive view so you wouldn't get shot from behind and killed unexpectedly. It's not a problem in C2, but it's still worse than before.
Fortunately stealth mode is pretty much the same. Shame the sprinting drains your energy though.

What else? Well they dumbed down the aliens in this game. In crysis 1, fighting aliens and humans was too totally different things. They were 'flying squid', so made for totally different firefights. In C2, they're just another skin for a human; 2 arms, 2 legs, a head and a gun. Woop-de-doo! What was wrong with being original? A ton of alien games already do the whole human re-skin thing.

Whatever, at least they put boss fights in the game. Oh wait... :| So the boss fights are pretty much just normal enemies. There is not even one 'big' boss which you must defeat. They missed out on such epicness here. For example, imagine if something like this was going over the city and you had to jump building to building to blow it up: (also take note on the use of his powers in this video, THIS is how it should be done!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4mjh6Bul8k
They really missed out there. Instead... SPOILERS ON FINAL BOSS (if you can call it that):
instead you had to just fight 4 strong aliens. This was so boring, I just put armor mode on, approached them, and kept power punching them. Job done. Couldn't believe it when that was it. It would have been so much better if they were sprawled throughout the city on the rare occasion, not just 4 dumped in one place and labeled as a boss. lame.

And that video above reminded me of the weapons. I have a few issues on this. See the gauss rifle in the video? That weapon is in C2 (modified), and I only got it twice. Right towards the end. With like 4 shots. What? I understand limit the ammo - it's very powerful. But it's used so little it might as well not be in the game. That, or I missed it many times. Surely against aliens these weapons would be all made in great quantities. We knew there were aliens about, so why not make them!? No excuse for limiting their use so much.

Final complaint is the story. No mention of why the aliens changed from 1 to 2, and no mention of Nomad/Psycho, the protagonists in Crysis/Crysis Warhead. Also the ending 'surprise' was uninteresting and made no sense.

To sum it up, they dumbed down the gameplay, they dumbed down the level design to being way too linear and they dumbed down the story. I hate to sound like a PC fanboy, but Crytek totally console-ized the game to the point that all originality has gone.

They used to push the boundaries of what we knew of PC games, and had much respect for that. Now, they actually took a step back on PC (DX10 on C1, DX9 on C2) and are just another boring developer now.
At least we still have valve They know how to handle the PC market while still making great console games.

Yeah I'm really not impressed with what I've seen and I'm very glad I held back from buying.
I talked with Cog on skype and he enjoyed it but after watching more gameplay of the corridor shooting, seeing how you can hack the multiplayer just by editing xml's in notepad and finally the end level being completed on veteran just by walking casually past enemies in armour mode I can see this game really is poor effort by Crytek.

People all over the world look different, so it makes sense that aliens that live all over the world also look different. Could maybe be a different tribe or section of the aliens.

Crysis 1 had a story? Not hating on it, but really, there was not much of a story, and I feel Crysis 2 had more.

And how the heck is Crytek a boring developer now? They just made one of the best FPS' in ages, and even one of the best games.

Now, If they didn't label the game as Crysis 2, you wouldn't be complaining. Just because it's dumbed down from a great game, does not in any way make it a bad game.

Though, I have to agree, the lack of boss battles made me a bit sad, but... meh, I got over it.

But a person still looks like a person, just with different skin colour or facial features. These aliens look like a whole different species! I assume they are the same. Here's a pic of a crysis 1 alien: http://s3-llnw-screenshots.wegame.com/3-5056107838055909/5056107838055909_l.jpg
Compare it to a C2 alien, it's just a blob with a stubby tail and head attached to a mech. The design isn't even close. This is only a small complaint for the game, but it is strange.

And no, it's not that the story in Crysis 1 was good, but the story arch was very good. First you fight in a Jungle against Koreans, then aliens show up and you blast them about in the jungle, then you go in to a no gravity zone on an alien ship and blow up aliens, then you come out into a frozen jungle and fight aliens/koreans. The pace was fantastic, and it had variety. In comparison C2 is pretty boring, it's similar throughout, killing humans, then aliens (which are just humans who can take more bullets) with little room to really experiment.

But you'd be right that I'd be less annoyed if it was called something other than Crysis 2. It's the same sort of thing as the Far Cry 1/2 thing. Totally different, so don't call them sequels. When a sequel gets dumbed down, that's a step back, and that's exactly what Crytek has done here.

I saw Crytek as a brilliant developer for the PC. There is no problems with going to console, as long as it doesn't effect their games. Here, it's effected the game massively. I know I had all those complaints, but at the end of the day the core gameplay of Crysis has changed. The first one gave you massive areas with so many options. Here, it feels like you going through wide corridors, point A to B (I know Crysis 1 is the same, but it didn't feel like it). There's no where near as enough room to play and experiment with in C2.

Back to my point - I see Crytek as a boring developer because of their lazy approach to their PC game this time. It's using older tech than the first, and worst of all the game is buggy to hell. Pirates can play online fine, and apparently to cheat online all you have to do is edit some files. There anti-cheat software is pretty terrible. Seriously, this is really bad support from them. It's like they don't care. This is why I see them as just another company now. They expanded to consoles to make more money, which is fine as their purpose is to make money obviously, but in the process they seemed to of lost what they were all about. No longer pushing the boundaries and listening to the community. Other companies haven't been like this. Look at Valve and Dice, both in the console Market and still making/supporting great games on the PC.

I know I'm coming off as a grumpy sod, but I really did have high hopes for this game. Was just expecting more from them really I guess.

Well Valve is huge, so of course they are all quality, same goes for Dice.

As for the many plot devices that were left out, I think that was just Crytek seeing the console community (yeah, I know, more faults because of consoles) as a new community, who knew nothing of the last game and it's plot. So they made the Crysis 2 story as self-dependent as possible as to not confuse the consolers.

And hey, they'll definitely have another game one day that's amazing on the PC, showing they still care about the PCers.

I still think the gameplay is annoying.
Senseless infinite respawn is one of the saddest thing in a videogame.
When the aliens are around the game gets more funny imho.

Visually the game looks nice,
but the gameplay has epic flaws.

In 99% of all occasions all you need to do is sit behind a wall, turn on armor shoot some bad guys, hide behind the wall.. and repeat.
You dont need tactics at all, nor do you need to run through the level/area you are currently in because enemies are as dumb as hell.

Besides a few area's all you need to do is cloak, run like hell and finish the level.
(Can complete the whole last quest like this without fighting one enemy)

So.. imho its prolly the least enjoying gameplay I have seen since I first picked up an fps game (wolfenstein).

the additional skills you van buy are totally useless besides stronger armor.
Air stomp is near useless against enemies, "See cloaked enemies better" is epic useless as there are only 4 enemies in the entire game that attack you while cloaked and they are (spoiler) the last 4 enemies you fight.
No epic last bossfight and the ending is an anti-climax and made me feel sorry I actually played through this rather dull game.

A lot of stuff was "stolen" from Dead space (also from EA) like the cellular decomposing..
but also from Fallout new vegas (some dude with inf. life in a cryo-chamber)
Some of the music sounds exactly the same as Metal Gear Solid songs, and to top it of some of the songs sound the same as some of the Fallout 3 OST.

All in all, besides a nice visual experience..
its a poor game.

Dead Space 2 came out after Crysis 2 was in development, so, unless Crytek can see into the future, they didn't rip off the decomp thing. Also, in dead space, the decomposing was from the aliens that no longer had a marker near them, in Crysis 2, it's little bugs decomposing humans for the use of the aliens.

Also, you can't say that a life support system is a rip-off of Fallout, and it has to do with the story. Hargreave found the aliens waaaay back in the day, created a research facility for the technology they recovered, and used that tech to sustain his life, along with make the Nanosuits.

As for the soundtrack it's completely original. You probably thought they sounded similar because they are all GOOD soundtracks.

Oh and finally, wow man, if this game was dull to you, then you have extremely high standards, eh? I can't believe you find any game exciting if this didn't interest you at all.

Uhm.. its not like they lock themselves in a basement and never play any other games.
True its been used before, I just find it really tacky.

Same, I just find it really tacky and lacking in creativity. (as its been done to death by now)
Not saying it is a bad story but it lacks real depth.

Not to mention that what is said by the main characters if often wrongly written in the subtitles (both voice/subtitles in english).



then you have extremely high standards

I do,
For my money (65 euros averagely taken for a ps3 game) I want a top notch story, top notch gameplay, top notch visuals, top notch music and top notch fun and preferable 20+ hours of gameplay which comes with some variation.
Of all this, the gameplay, visuals and fun are most important. (some games dont need a good story for instance)
Im not saying I need high end grafics, but it needs to artistically fit the game (thats why I still appreciate nes/snes games for instance).

And how can you call this game exciting?
heck, the bigger monsters just stare at you if you jump down in front of them untill you kill em, and the more than occasional "stuck" enemies just pulls you out of the game instantly.
And in theory (both my brother and me tried/did it occasionally) you can just sit behind the same wall shooting enemies untill they are all dead, or just ignore them completely with stealth, there is no tactics involved whatsoever, even with the bigger armored tripod walker enemy all you need to do is run around it (from a decent distance), shoot at it till it dies.

Besides one or two instances you cant really say crysis2 is challenging and its the same gameplay over and over and over from begin to the end only with semi-different objectives.


As for the soundtrack it's completely original. You probably thought they sounded similar because they are all GOOD soundtracks.

Wrong, in a few occasions they really did copy the same sound MGS4 uses in simmiliar tense situations,
same for the less tense free-roam-ish parts they use almost the same sounds as fallout 3 did.
And not only I thought so, when playing with a few of my friends we all agreed on this.
Im not saying it isnt a good soundtrack, but I cant say its all very original.


I can't believe you find any game exciting if this didn't interest you at all.
Acing lbp1/2 was more exciting, silent hill, super metroid, RE2, RE3, RE4 and i could name a lot more where all much more exciting.
I was interested in Crysis2, so much even that I didnt even checked out any trailers/reviews besides an ign one the same day I bought the game because I wanted to find it all out myself.
But it lacked overall depth immensely.

the only thing I can say Im really fond of in this game are the visuals, cutscenes and overall atmosphere.
but that isnt enough to pull it over the edge of mediocre.
