[Joker]

Buuuut I'm not that far in, so

Had an "Oh crap" moment when

they flooded the city and you see that huge floodwave coming towards you.

Awesome. x)

It gets better. One of my favs involves a bridge

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Fav moment so far.

Spoiler

Being engulfed into essentially alien jizz and fired out of a "tower" at high velocity. Lol actually love just running around the map taking out people with grabs and sending them flying

 

[Max Payne]

I have beaten all levels of difficulty. I am confident that I have mastered the campaign and developed my own enjoyable style of play involving shock and awe.

SHOCK AND AWE.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

My style of playing usually involved maximum armour + shotgun or maximum armour and an lmg.
Fun times

 

[Joker]

Mine involves stealth kills + silenced weapons.

It's similar to my MGS playstyle - avoid most things, takedowns when necessary, and kill absolutely everything that attacks me, with extreme prejudice and in lulzy, violent, or painful ways.

This game is srsly a lot of fun, and so engrossing.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Im enjoying just throwing myself into the middle of the alien masses and fucking them over at close range lol.

 

[Tetsujin]

Finished the campaign.

...the ending was kinda anti-climactic. Especially how there aren't even ending credits.
I mean sure, you can select the credits from the menu but it just doesn't feel right.

Was a fun game overall though.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Completed it last night also, ending was good although I was really confused with the

Spoiler

"they call me prophet" shit at the end until I realised the suit obviously was integrating Prophets mind into Alcatraz the entire game

that and alcatraz was pretty much dead already

Also, try supersoldier. I had a blast with it myself. It really helps shape you into a superfast invisible killing machine. Oh and the end encounter, is a real fucking bitch. If I didn't have the sniper/microwave gun I'd have been fucked.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Yeah the section where the medical officer was listing what was wrong with Alcatraz was just brilliant.

Spoiler

At the end when they raise Central Park, am I the only one that thought "Tentacle Rape" lol

 

[Max Payne]

I wish this game had an instant action mode. No story, no one yelling at your through comms.

Just drop you in a level of your choice with an assload of npcs and let you wreak havoc.

 

[Tetsujin]

Since I'm a newb at FPS games I played the game in Recruit difficulty. For my second run I jumped straight to Supersoldier.
It's actually pretty fun. Have to play way more stealthily and using Armor Mode efficiently in direct confrontations is pretty much the only way to survive them. Makes that shit way more tense.

I also found a few alternate routes I didn't notice the first time as well as some easter eggs, like the CELL soldiers listening to techno music and then speaking German in the substation.

I pirated it, playing the singleplayer. It's okay. Needs a jesus-mode though, bigger jumps, survivable drops, etc.

Play it with no crosshair. Tis awesome.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Played the online to bits the past few nights, although I really enjoyed some aspects I think it falls into the same crap as COD, sniper speed kills and killcams showing lovely impossible shots as game winning kills.
Still fun though.

 

[Max Payne]

Holy shit Crysis is 7 bucks on steam, and crysis warhead is 5.


FFFFFFFFFFFF

 

[Tetsujin]

I'd get them if my pc could handle them.

 

[Max Payne]

I can play on medium with a pretty good framerate. Both games for ten bucks is a REALLY good deal.

Crysis has always been about more than the eye candy for me.

 

[Madame Mayor]

It's the deal of the day today on amazon.com. Sucks because now if I try to order something from the .com site it tells me they charge like an extra $10 because it's Canada on top of the shipping. Oh well.

 

[Joe]

Completed. Loved it.

Obv it's a bit more limited to accommodate consoles, but you can still use random shit as weapons, attach c4 to can and throw it and use it as a bomb, or attach it to a vehicle and use it as a car bomb. I was a little disappointed in that, but the verticallity adds enough of a new layer that I didn't mind too much.

I'm hoping this game sells googobs at retail, enough to not only justify a sequel that improves the formula and adds everything from the first game and the second, but so the Cryengine 3 becomes popular enough that it overtakes Unreal 3 as a new industry standard. It may be a pipe dream, but ffs for once I want an RPG that's on the cutting edge of graphics.

Related to the end of this post: The CryEngine 3 SDK available now for free, so hopefully there's a reason / capability for more developers to start making games with it vs. Unreal 3.

They already are, there's 50 licencees of the engine and more'n a few games in development. They announced this shit back at e3 I think.

All of the mod tools and the huge upgrade for Crysis 2 have been out for a while now.

Crysis 1 for consoles.
