My thoughts on Crysis 2
Just started playing Crysis 2 yesterday and I'm somehow disappointed.
First a few things I like:
Well the graphics, design and environment are just amazing (most of the time).
Yeah that's about it.
What I dislike:
The story and the missions are just retarded and sometimes it smells like Call of Duty - press F to pick up this, press win to win the game. You don't even have to listen to anyone talking to you, just open your new vision, which explains you where to go and what to do. I'm sure EA believes its customers only have an average IQ of 70 or something. (We all know it's not the first game EA raped after the first part was a success - see my Dragon Age 2 review)
Well at least I found 2-3 situations where you actually could think for yourself and for example kick a car on some enemys to do it the fast way - but that's it.
As said the graphics are breathtaking once more.. but there are a few flaws. You can only switch your graphics to three different modes (yeah EA thinks you're even to dumb for that). I'm not sure if it's me and/or my PC but on 'hardcore' graphics-mode the motion blur and bloom is just way to much. The motion blur paints somekind of shadow around objects and npcs and the bloom makes even trash shine like the sun. But I have to admit sometimes I almost thought I was watching CGI and not playing a game.
So if mindless shooting and lots of graphics is enough for you, go get it.
Well I'm going to play some more (even though it gets boring after one hour), maybe I'll find something to add in my review.
man I love this game forsure!
AntwortenLöschenCrysis > Crysis 2. Crysis 2 graphics are a joke in comparison. The original's gameplay and story were immersive. It's a shame they strayed so far from the original game in order to cater to console gamers. Hopefully Battlefield 3 won't let me down.
AntwortenLöschen~H. Coct
for me its just an avg shooter
AntwortenLöschenseems good enough i guess
AntwortenLöschenNice review man. Love thsi game. alphabetalife.blogspot.com
AntwortenLöschenGraphics are what sell copies when it comes the crysis i think. It's all about that eye candy. loved the first one btw, cant wait to try 2
AntwortenLöschenCrysis has the best GFX ever!! Besides that it's not better than other FPS if you ask me!
AntwortenLöscheni'm gonna buy it next week!
AntwortenLöschenYeah basically it's a console port to the pc. Graphics aren't that good, the story is weak, and the gamplay is incredibly rigid and linear. Average shooter that panders to the 12 year old masses.
AntwortenLöschenLoved the first one. Gotta play this one as soon as I can.
AntwortenLöschenThe multiplayer trailers look unreal, let me know how it is.
AntwortenLöschenWait, it's been released? Ugh I haven't kept up on PC gaming 'cause I've been playing fighting games on my 360 (MvC3 most recently).
AntwortenLöschengraphics are amazing, but running in 1024x768 on my 8800gts :(
AntwortenLöschenseems interesting, currently on the church part, gonna play some more :D
ilike this!
AntwortenLöschenI said this to another friend earlier, but Crysis 2 graphics are insane!
AntwortenLöschengreat review hope more is coming keep it up
AntwortenLöschenCrysis 2 looks good and all but Crysis 1 really was better. It seems to have been dumbed down a bit, at least in regards to the graphics, it doesn't even take a beast of a machine to run anymore.
AntwortenLöschengunna play it
AntwortenLöschenGreat review, also good picture, i hope to play one day this game.
AntwortenLöschen'if mindless shooting and lots of graphics is enough for you'...
AntwortenLöschenYou really know how to persuade me.
haven't played this game yet. nice review. followed.
AntwortenLöschenthanks for the review. i have a few mates who've played it and find it enjoyable.
AntwortenLöschena terrific game!!! wanna have !
AntwortenLöschenMy friend is really digging crysis 2. He must have an IQ of 70!
AntwortenLöschenLove the review! Keep up the great work!
AntwortenLöschenWhen it comes to games, I far prefer immersion over the visual appearance. Thanks for the warning. I won't drop 60 bucks or whatever on this game.
AntwortenLöschenLove your down-to-earth/to-the-point reviewing style.
i...i ... just rage when someone invisible and in a corner somewhere kills me lol. dogtags help though.
AntwortenLöschenYou are absolutely right. Crytek makes good engines. Gameplay? not so much...
AntwortenLöschenI find this game rather as graphics show.
AntwortenLöschenLooks frigging awesome! Thanks!
AntwortenLöschenI haven't enjoyed a shooter since Bioshock came out
AntwortenLöschenBummer. Why are all the sequels sucking lately?

I love Crysis, I was really looking forward to this, though alot of reviews seem to agree with yours. *sigh*, wish it was even better than the first, then it would be amazing!
AntwortenLöschengreat post. following you
AntwortenLöschenPlaying this game! Also i voted Diablo 3, maybe post about it, following.
AntwortenLöschenI wish my computer was strong to get C2 to run.
AntwortenLöschenyeah, i don't take graphics into much account in appreciating a game. so long as they are bearable, my imagination can take care of some of that. I place more importance on gameplay and such
AntwortenLöscheni haven't played it yet, hopefully it fares better than the first.
AntwortenLöschenMy words...
AntwortenLöschenCrysis 1 was great, I hope that Crysis 2 will be as good as 1 or better
AntwortenLöschenFOLLOWED
Can't decide if I want to buy this.. the graphics look amazing though.
AntwortenLöschenim thinking about get it this week
AntwortenLöschenhope its better then 1
