first time i played i stopped after an hour because was not getting into it. was told game gets better so forced myself to give it second try - needed to level my b-spec in GT5 anyway.

up to level 9 now in crysis 2 and it still blows nuggets!

such a boring and crappy game
1. xfire flicker, i need to play in windowed mode to avoid it.
2. boring story (was in othere crysis games as well - but at least non alien missions in jungle were great)
3. really average gfx - textures are crap for a crysis game. seems to me that crysis 1 had better gfx (or is that nostalgia?). and yes i am running at extreme settings @1900x1200 all maxed out even without crossfire
4. linear levels, feels like Doom more than Far Cry 1
5. combat is boring, just blast away. leaning for cover is console crap, let me decide when and where i peak
6. dog tags etc... are you kiding - am i a 15 year old console gamer? seriously what do i care about these pointless rewards.
7. didnt bother with multiplayer, never liked that game's multi anyway

clearly crytek wants to make a CoD. unfortunately CoD does my head in

guess what i am not going to finish this game, uninstall. may reinstall original far cry since it has been a long time since i last played it

sorry, but just needed to vent after such a waste of time. haven't played a decent FPS in years! Stalker was good, but Ukraine is just so depressing - i can't be bothered with Pripyat after playing first 2 games - just overdosed on grim settings

Please Ubisoft, sell Rainbow Six back to Red Storm.
 
Yea the game was a bit crappy.

There was no inovation in the game at all.

Some parts where ok, and the graphics at times where good.

But overall it was defo a let down.
 
I felt crysis 1 was extremely boring, I couldnt bring myself to play it which is why I didnt touch crysis 2.
 
not just a let down but a few steps back ino

1. gfx clearly not as good
2. physics?? what happened , i use to mow down trees with minigun, destroy houses etc...
3. big levels, could flank, choose different tactical approaches - now just a run and gun hallway
4. combat sucks, playing in hardest mode available and it's not challenging (and I am not pretending to be some uber gamer) - don't even want to imagine what easy must be like - do they just surrender when they see you? (not sure if you get an insane type mode after you complete - i will never know :rolleyes:)
 
Far Cry 1 was awesome. only thing missing were naked Tahitian girls ;)

crazy that this game was back in 2004 and is much better than this 2011 release
