Zero Punctuation Review: Crysis

Yahtzee smacks his gob over the visuals in Crysis.
Zifnabsays...

I couldn't pass this one up, I have been waiting for him to review Crysis for a while now. Makes me wish I had that hypothetical super-computer from space so I could see Crysis in all it's glory.

Ahh, I await every one of his reviews with baited breath (which makes for a smelly office).

And Crysis is a damn fine game... and yes, I sold my soul so I do have a PC that can play it while looking puuuurty.

Kruposays...

Damn, if I didn't have a day job (which seems to take up all the time in the day) I could've sifted this up...

I had my first, "try to flee into the ocean only to be blown up by large caliber shells then eaten by sharks" moment recently.

Awesome.

Paybacksays...

I tried to submit this but the site buggered me. Oh woe to me, oh bastion of low-level siftedness...


UPVOTE FOR NANO-WEDGIES!!!



ps. zifnab, how'd you comment 5 hours before you submitted the vid?

I signed a pact with the devil to attain a PC that could run Crysis, I didnt have the numerous hardware problems alot of its users report.

However while it is pretty its still solidily no more then a mod for Far Cry, plus the pretty graphics are nothing but filler for a game that starts out great with the nano wankyiness, it is nice in the open scapes (though not as free roaming as FC) when dealing the DRPK troops but quickly cascades into being shit when it goes all "Xen" on you after encountering the aliens, battles with which consist mainly of shooting at them till they drop unravelling the nice strategic combat with the troops at the start of the game.

The end was particularly underwhelming, I mean Crytek revealed the boss battle at the end of the game a full 2 years before release. Not to mention it was basically Contra by then.

EDDsays...

so does everybody really agree on what yahtzee said about the VTOL level near the end? I played all the game on Delta (hardest) difficulty and that was the single easiest level - not once died while in the "chopper", even reloaded from the beginning just to experience more awesome flying goodness. and the controls felt, I might say, a little bit too intuitive, somewhat like an arcade.
