Bravo Crytek Bravo!

IMHO this game deserves nothing less than a 9.8 forget graphics, this game is in a league of its own in that category, Gameplay and the style of the game is spectacular, Crytek delievered well and the game ran as smooth as SILK!. beautiful...Bravo Crytek Bravo!
the smartest thing crytek did was releasing the game editor a few weeks before the game...that guarentees a huge amount of content when the game actually ships.Bravo Crytek Bravo!
The game better have character model damage (or at least skin damage). It will be pretty pathetic if the vegitation is more interactive than the enemy models.

i just played the demo, and i must say, im severely unimpressed. regardless of how beautiful the graphics are, the game is just what far cry was. far cry was okay, but crysis is years later and they could have done something better. the thrill of the nanosuit powers ran out as soon as i used them once as well. all the people who say crysis is awesome is because all they are interested in is graphics. i feel bad for all the people who want to buy new computers just to play far cry over again.
I think it's cool that apparently (from what I've heard, haven't had the chance to download the demo yet) the people that got it to run, are relatively happy with it, in the sense that a few months ago even before the betas people were going nuts about how much power would it require, that the game would run like **** on 1- year hardware and we'd have to wait bla bla yadda yadda, but of course, those were unrealistic thoughts since nobody would buy the game with that premise.

I feel sorry for people who stereotype games assuming that good graphics = bad game. Crysis is excellent and offers more than any other FPS to have come out this year. Your loss.
I love Crysis, and while I'm wowed by the graphics, they most certainly are not the only thing I care about. I completely disagree on the point that it's just like Far Cry. It's pretty similar, yes, but honestly, did anyone ever expect it not to be? Is there anything wrong (or at all surprising) with it being a lot like Far Cry? I certainly don't think so.
out of curiousity, how is not exactly like far cry?
The graphics and game play are really, really good. And it seems to run surprisingly well on my system. But it is true that the game is almost exactly like FarCry so it does lose points for lack of originality. I would give it a 9.4.And how can you not make the FarCry comparison? The very same island. The very same two person boats. The very same jeeps, the very same camps. It really is just a redone FarCry. But like I said before I don't think that is really a bad thing. FarCry is one of my favorite games of all time! Still I don't think you can call the atmosphere new or original.

I think later on in the game...when everything gets frozen it will show it's uniqueness.I've never played Far Cry so it's all new to me :)
[QUOTE=''_KwispY'']out of curiousity, how is not exactly like far cry?[/QUOTE]Destructible enviroments which if you have played the demo for enough time really add to the game and possible ways you can go about a situation, Nano suit leads to many possibilites depending on which play style you want to choose. You can go stealthy and not be seen by your enemies or you can go str and punch everyone to death running and gunning. Weapons customization allows yout modify your weapons to how you see fit or what situation you are going into. Physics, you can do some amazing things thanks to it. It isn't a far cry clone, it is far better.

And the game layout is even the same with how you are being guided around the island by a guy on the radio. Just wait, I guarantee you that the GS review as well as every other game site and magazine will all mention how it is so similar to FarCry you fell like you have returned to the very same island! It seems silly that they didn't just make this the sequel to it.
i always knew gameplay of crysis was going to excellent, but i had few doubts regrading how crysis will run on my machine, but needless to say i am running this game nicely and it looks gorgeous. well done crytek for an overall excellent game :D
Well for starters, I am not bored by the suit features at all, so they stand out as a big difference to me. There are advances in what you can physically do to objects, such as many buildings being destructable, and more objects being interactive, not to mention the much, much better physics (in other words, there is a good deal more physical andvisual interactivity). Far Cry's physics were deplorable.The AI is better (not by miles, but still better in my opinion). The feel of the game is one closer to a real-world simulation than Far Cry, and not just because of the photo-realistic art design. Weapons are more complex, both because of add-ons and because... how do I put this? They just seem much less like they're just point-and-shoot, like range and other conditions come into account more than before. It's hard for me to express it, as it's sort of an abstract difference that I can't explain. Oh, for one thing, the enemy seems to be more hindered by being shot than in Far Cry. In Far Cry, it didn't matter how much you popped rounds into that merc, his flinches did absolutely nothing to slow him down. In Crysis, men can be knocked down by a surprise shot, and they sometimes pause in their movements and attacks when hit (meaning they don't just always flinch like they're being pricked with apin). The combat in general is just sort of different, better in my opinion.It lacks the cheesiness factor of Far Cry (voice-acting, plot).There's more, but that's all I can think of at the moment.Basically, the way I see it, Crysis took mostly only the good parts of Far Cry and implemented them, left out most (not all) of the bad parts, and added in more good stuff.
That was in response to Kwispy.

All previews have said that they give a different game play experience.

To me, it feels the same mostly in the ways that it needs to feel the same.
Lets put it this way, Crysis looks a lot closer/more similarto FarCry than HL2 looked to HL1. Anyone can see that.
*cough* demo *cough* I love how people judge the whole game from a demo.
