Played Crysis for the first time since buying it for MWLL
« on: April 12, 2010, 04:01:14 PM »
Hello all,

Well for the first time since buying Crysis (only bought it for MWLL) I actually started to play it. I have to say its a really fun game. I was able to hop right into it control wise because I'm used to all the keyboard controls from playing MWLL.

How many other people out there have never played Crysis since buying it? Or am I one of the only people who bought crysis soley for MWLL? lol

I will say that since I started playing it, I'm glad I did because it is a rather addicting game!

I bought it and played maybe 2 hours of it until I came to the conclusion that I'm going to wait to play it on my next computer so I can do the graphics some justice.

MWLL is multiplayer, so I easily prioritize frame rate over prettiness.
Single player games I want to be more realistic and immersive (like Fallout 3, STALKER), thus crank the graphics up.

And Crytek 2 engine cranked up makes my computer cry and call abuse hotlines on me.

It's an amazing game when played on a proper machine.  The story/visuals just get better and more epic throughout most the game too.  (Although it fell off a bit for me right at the end, lost a lot of believability/immersion)

Yeah I was amazed how good the graphics are, I feel like the graphics look even better in crysis then they do when I play mwll even though I run the same settings on both ( high on most and ultra high on a couple using dx10). Not saying that the graphics arent awesome on MWLL, just in crysis the grass and stuff like that seems to have more detail. Either way I love both games and I love the graphics in both :D

Yeah, there is a difference there but I feel like it mostly has to do with scale. The human-sized perspective makes the engine able to do its thing better, with not having to render so much so far away (in most cases).

Not to mention how long Crytek has been working on island/jungle textures and models.

I think MWLL will get there, it just has its own challenges. Visual scale being one of them.

Heh, I still haven't played it. I bought it for one reason and one reason alone. 8)

I thought Warhead was better than Crysis myself, it didn't feel as drawn out. Also didn't have that lame cockblock with Prophet's suit, which after a couple of playthroughs isn't so bad. The only real 'cockblocky' part of Warhead was the attack on the train, otherwise it's great.

I did buy Crysis just for MWLL, but I also bought Crysis Warhead and Crysis wars. I only have played Crysis SA so far. I should play Warhead, because I liked the original Crysis.
And most of my recent upgrades to my cpu were done because of Crysis and MWLL 8)

I'm not sure it was the fact Psycho has more of a personality than Nomad, or the fact it takes place (starting) about halfway through Crysis, and finishes just before the end of Crysis (so in both games the aliens are just short of being revealed, cutting out a lot of the Korean punishing that is the first half of Crysis), but I felt Warhead was a superior game, the only letdown being it wasn't as long.
