Dat Crysis nostalgia (split off from Healing Upgrade thread)

Yeah, crysis had a good stealth system.

I love using the silenced pistol in Crysis 2. You can get off like 2-3 shots while cloaked and you stay cloaked. Felt op to me, but I loved it.

 

I kinda liked stealth in the first crysis.

And then I got creative and combined the fact that stealth works in vehicles and you rightfully do not count as moving when driving.

Predictable, yet hilarious results.
One of the reasons why I go against the flow and say Crysis 1 was amazing as far as new FPS titles go.

 

Crysis 1 really was incredible. It was so "pure" feeling. Like you could put a scope on your shotgun after finding it. It was meh at best, but the game let you do it.

 

I loved Crysis 1 up until it became linear. But the first 50% of the game at least was incredible.

Crysis 2 was fairly meh, I couldn't even be bothered completing it.

 

I also loved the missle launcher in crysis. 3 guided shots.
Shoot all into the sky and then just move the reticle along the convoy.
Portable missle artillery is bitching.

 

Oh I know. Like every review was basically, "the beginning is great, the aliens suck."

I mean, what was in the marketing & tech demos? It was all jungles, aliens & koreans, not frozen alien bullshit.

I thought Crysis 2 was more consistently good throughout its campaign, but Crysis 1 was still something special.

 

At least the zero G environment was REALLY well done, I really should revisit that one with an Oculus Rift (or similar)

 

I never really got into it. It was fun in a "minigame" sorta way. It dragged on longer than I would've liked.

 

The first half of Crysis 1 was amazing, being a predator sneaking up on soldiers, but once the aliens show up the game just goes downhill.
Also, right when you think it can't get any worse near the end of the game, it does, the game throws a huge GIANT ALIEN BOSS BATTLE at you and it's all like "SHOOT THE GLOWING WEAK SPOTS!".
It couldn't have possibly got any more cliché at the end.....
I still enjoyed it all the way though but the enjoyment got less and less towards the end.

 

C 1 is still the best looking crysis, barring the pretty water efects in third.
In fact C1 is still one of the better looking games out there, though you probably have to slap a ultra high res patch or two. Really goes to show how little has been accomplished in the past 7 years compared to the previous times.

Did i mention it had bitching custom, fan made missions?
