I honestly liked Crysis 2 and the DX11 addition was a nice graphical touch.
Crysis 1 has been way over praised, Sure it's good in the graphical department but nothing really that special when it comes to gameplay.
Crysis was an AWFUL game with some ground-breaking GFX at the time.
Crysis 2 was the same game with no open elements at all, designed entirely with consoles in mind, poorer effects for the most part and slightly higher res. textures.
Crysis 3 was again the same game with slightly more open world, and a slight improvement in effects and higher res. textures.
People expected far more from 2 and 3 and ended up being hugely disappointed.
Tbh, I still think the original Far Cry was by far their best game - both the game itself and the graphics -- which were a country mile ahead of anything else at the time, and had nothing like the resource overhead of Crysis 1 / 2 /3.

I actually loved the console version of FC1, Farcry Instincts Predator, Was fun as hell
FC1 was a momentous achievement for what was at the time a small indie dev. outfit. I feel like they're still living off it even now.
Still pains me that they signed a contract with EA, or that the Far Cry IP didn't go with them ... the sci-fi fantasy / Dr. Moreau theme seemed to suit them much more than the semi-serious action film like IP of Crysis. I also never liked the Ubi FCs .. they felt like grind fests. The core story of FC3 and characters were decent, but the rest of the game was extremely repetitive ... FC2 was terrible and FC4 seemed like a weaker version of FC3 (though admittedly i didn't play it).

Crysis 2 was an inferior game as far as story goes, it wasn't even a sequel. It was a completely different game with similar and inferior mechanics.
The "ceph" were just rip offs from Halo too.
It was an "okay" game (A solid 6) but Crysis was a far better game, far better story. Deserved an actual sequel. Not that piece of crap Crysis 2.
Anyone who calls Crysis 1 and 2 the same game, is someone who hasn't played the games. How can a game be the same, when everything's different
?

Ages ago it was said 'can it run Crysis? Today its 'do you really want to play another Crysis.'

Crysis 2 with MaLDoHD 4.0 / BlackFire's 2 / Quality mod 1.92c is absolutely gorgeous, Might have to go play it, Just wish there was a way to save the quality mod options between level loads.
