Crysis - It's Far Cry all over again, with the same flaws, but more annoying.

Second mention I've seen of Crysis and I have to ask how PC games apply to console generations.

Someone like Nokkon will probably accuse me of defending Crysis purely because it's a PC game, but they'd be totally wrong. I am honestly wondering how it's relevent to this thread.

PCs do not have generations the way consoles do.

they all play games dont they ?
im sure plenty of people own a pc and console/s....the pc games can be just as much of a let down as console games so can fit in here nicely.

It's hard to say Crysis is the 'biggest letdown this generation' because it's not a console game and the concept of generations don't apply to PCs very well. A let down would be something like Doom 3, where it was a much-awaited sequel to a game with a 10+ year wait and it only turned out to be a typical corridor shooter with none of the charisma and gameplay of the originals.

That's quite contrary to something Nokkon said in the PC forum today, and I agree with him that they bear no relevence to one another and should be kept seperate if possible.

Then chop chop, get to work, and start telling me how you define the boundaries of generations on PC platforms.

In that case I am my changing Assassin's Creed vote to Big Rigs Off The Road Racing.

This thread is now about which games PC suck and that is factually the worst, so /thread.

The only thing I feel letdown on is constantly waiting for all Sony's big guns to actually arrive..

Other then that I actually think I'm very happy with the Wii/360 and PS3, all deliver more highs then lows..

or you will do what exactly ?

Margaret · 9 May 2008 at 19:52

Why are people mentioning Crysis? Sure it didn't deliver but it's hardly what I'd consider 'this generation' considering the visuals of the game surpass anything else by a long shot.

I have not been dissapointed with any game i have bought the last year or two apart from the 1.

Guild Wars, got to level 6 and i just got completely bored of it couldnt stand the finding a party feature.

Every other game i have bought has been a blast.

Because it's the #1 cool-to-hate game at the moment.

Though that's gradually having its spot taken by GTA4 now.

What games do live up to their hype when the hype is overdone? :confused:

Nope, I already said Big Rigs Off The Road Racing is and finished the thread.

PCs have no generations, technically just one generation, so BROTRR counts and wins.

COD4 was definitely not "over-hyped" IMO. At least not like Halo 3, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Crysis were.

Half Life 2 was purely overhyped by the fanbase, and it was one of the few games to ever live up to it.
