On Steam for £7 atm, worth a punt? I liked the first one but got bored halfway through the second playthrough. Is 2 more of the same, or is it very different being urban based?
 
Yeah, for £7 you will get a fair bit from it.

Just don't expect anything like the kind of experience of Crysis 1. It's hardly a bad game, far from it in fact, it's just a bit too linear and feels rather like a Sci-Fi version of CoD.

Just been watching a video of it in high settings, very underwhelmed. Crysis was very linear IMO, so if this is worse then it won't really entertain me. Maybe I'll wait until it's £2 :D
 
Great game, too bad it's not as special as Crysis "1".
They focused a bit too much on consoles when developing the game.
Hence why it's not as demanding as it should be.

Still a great game though.
 
If you're generally a fan of shooters, then it's worth that. There are some good mods which make it an even more worthwhile purchase, too.

Played for an hour, and already I'm bored. Seems like another generic shooter. Will keep going to give it a fair trial. What is the DX11 patch? The games is running in DX11 mode from the UI, and have all settings on ultra at 1080p. I don't think I can even run the first at that lol.

Any mods I should check out now, or just play it vanilla first?
 
it's very linear, you go from long story telling cutscenes to cutscenes, the streets of NY are blocked and fenced off, you cant wander anywhere.

but worst of all is how slow he moves, he's very heavy footed and not much better with the nano suit turned on, the only thing he does well is to jump and grab.

it's either linear or you have large Arena style boss fights, with those Tripod things, these boss fights are handled far better than Borderlands 2.
because with these you have areas where you can hide and think what to do next, plus they dont have a totally ridiculous amount of Health.

CRYSIS 2 is the way they like their game to look, so dont expect the 3rd game to be any better, it'll be formatted the same, the 3rd game is being made because the've probably got loads of extra maps that they dont want wasted, it's an Expansion pack or a DLC

the 1st Crysis ? that looked good by mistake, the 2nd game is the real Crytek.....finally, a city is damned hard to illustrate and N.Y looks wrong wrong wrong.....a jungle is easy

crysis 3? you'll be better off getting Bioshock/ ghost warrior 2 or RG Patriots

You may as well play it modded. This mod is pretty good :

texture mods are good yes, but it's a damned shame they dont come out a week after the game is released....because it's no good now, i've played the game to death

Crysis 2 has quite a few fan mods too, new levels/ a new city etc but you'd need to find these on the Crytek website, but these new games take ages to make
