PCGAmer us gave crysis 98%
Just got my latest December issue of PCGamer and they have the world's first Crysis review. It got a 98%, which is pretty damn good for PCGamer standards. They also mentioned the single player takes around 12 hours to complete.
Highs: A graphical powerhouse, immersive, open-ended sandbox that encourages emergent gameplay, well-placed storyline, meticulously detailed; engrossing multiplayer, included map editor.
Lows: Alien AI not as spectacular as North Korean AI; enemies can sometimes absorb too much damage; a few minor glitches.
Bottom Line: Destined to be a classic, Crysis is a creative and technological marvel that eclipses every other shooter released this year.

Nice map, are there more SP maps on the net or are you the first one that made a map?
This game is really good, the best shooter ever.

TBH, runs fine on my rig, just turned down shadows and post processing to medium, everything else on high. My only real complaint is the damage model is stupid beyond belief. The AI takes far too many hits, making any chance of playing the game stealthily impossible. Hopefully someone will mod the damage a bit. I dont mind having to shoot more than once but 10 + times is just plain dumb and ruins the immersion.

Thanks for all the opinions guys, i finally went with a Gigabyte card..
AM2 Athlon 64 6000 + Dual Core 3.0GHz, Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe NF570 SLI
and 2 gb of corsair 800mhz memory
i had a limited budget so this was the best i could get.

There is always some wisenheimer who knows best. I know headshots are "one shot, one kill" but maybe if you had even the slightest clue you would understand that you do not have to pump 10+ rounds into a person for them to die. Its the same idiotic premise that they use in Splinter Cell. If you dont make a perfect headshot it takes multiple bullets to down the guy as he runs around yelling as if he's been stung by a Bee! I know its a game but it just makes the weapons feel lame and that was the point I was trying to make.

are they not wearing body armor ?
also NATO weapons (like the ones your using in the demo) dont use very powerfull munitions instead prefering lighter more accurate bullets (and because their lighter you can carry more)
that korean rifle drops them reasonably well though and the shotty is a beast.

Most enemies got body armor and those without you can kill in 2-3 shots in the chest.

Question:
How do i cap the framerate ? i'm guessing via a console command, so which one?> I'd like to cap my framerate at 30 so i can have a more smooth gameplay ( it goes from 20 to 60 in like one second which is annoying).
10x

The characters in the game are a joke....all loud mouthed and disobedient. As if any of them would ever cut it in the fucking regular army..much less some special forces unit.
I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

I agree, it's not realistic for special forces team members to act like that.
But I also think that it doesn't matter. It's just like they'd act in an action movie.
They'll probably all die soon enough too in the single player campaign :p

I just don't think it brings anything new to the table, sure the "suit" is mighty fancy, but it's just a gimmick, I'd rather have a more realistic combat experience than being able to cloak and jump 10 feet in the air.
I completed the demo on "Delta" difficulty, but I did not find it particularly difficult 
The story is not that enticing either as I feel I've heard or seen it all before in movies and various games, the gameplay reminds me og Goldeneye on N64 oddly enough, but I just don't feel as if I need to play, just 5 minutes more.., if you know what I mean.
And Kamikaze, usually I tend to write long arguments, just read any of my older posts, but people tend to just ignore them on this forum, hence why I don't anymore take my time unless people ask what I mean, then I know I don't throw my time away writing. |

impressive that he gets his eyes rolled at him when he dislikes a game. *round of applause*
The only reason this game has any hype is because people eat the shit monkey's fling at them. Ya sure it's got all pretty gfx but that's it, might as well call it the prequel of duke nukem with the ability to shoot trees down. |

hmm
well that's more of an opinion than an objective view of the game, which is what I thought you meant.
I can understand if some people don't exactly like the nanosuit, the story, or the style of the game.
But still, the graphics are obviously great, as are the animations and the AI.
And the open, almost non-linear levels are worth a lot.
The multiplayer is also far above average. power struggle is almost on par with a multiplayer shooter like battlefield.
In a time where we get overrun by average shooters full of bugs, crysis really does stand out. it's not revolutionary of course, as it's very similar to far cry, but still. far cry was great, and crysis takes it to the next level.
I liked far cry and I sure as hell want to have more of that open tropical island stealth action

Surray, any view or opinion about any movie or game is inherently subjective, if you start analysing games and movies to produce an objective report you remove yourself from whats important, namely to have fun watching or playing.
More than anything movies and games are about emotions in the viewer or player and thus is subjective.
