The games were good. Stop being hipsters. The engine on the first one was a huge leap, and the optimization in 2 was great, although it didn't actually look much better. (Which made it look better for lower end machines who could run it at higher settings though.)
No game is above criticism. The first two were solid. The third looks incredibly stupid.

Does the engine make the game ? nope, the game itself should make you like it. I just constructed my views on the game a few posts below. It is true though taht I could run it almost perfectly on my crappy rig.

The only thing I associate Crysis with is being a ridiculous system crusher, because when I was shopping for parts for my last system build every review would include a Crysis benchmark with something along the lines of "yeah, the frame rate's crap, but it's slightly less crappy than with (insert other component)." No idea on its merits as a game.

I liked Crysis and Warhead. Tested Crysis 2 and it sucks compared to the original, the story of the original was almost completely scrapped and the game is overall more consolized.

100% agreed. Crysis and Warhead was awesome. Crysis 2 was your standard console horseshit with copy-pasted CoD style MP.
Consoles simply couldn't handle the gigantic Powerstruggle game type maps + vehicles - that was a reason alone not to buy C2

I'm not surprised though, it's EA, what can you say? They ruin everything, they even talked shit about Steam

It's basically just a demo for the Crytech engine.
As a whole the game is playable and enjoyable but you shouldn't expect something great. Power balance is bad, too few energy to properly synergize powers and AI is quite dumb at times. Story is okay but nothing innovative.
You can have some fun with the game but I won't replay it again before very very long if ever. Gameplay is about 6 hours top and 3 hours for Warhead.

Crysis is known more for its engine rather than its gameplay, which is a good thing, as the game wasn't exactly a jewel in the FPS genre. I didn't really enjoy the game, i saw it as a rail shooter, with a bit of exploration.
Plot and gameplay wise, Crysis had a similar issue Far Cry had back in the day, where everything started with a very nice setting, a semi-realistic setting and a fun shooting mechanic. Later on the setting changes completely, and the plot takes some VERY strange twists (much more prononunced in Far Cry).
So yeah, Crysis is overrated.

The AI sucks. Everyone hates bad AI. Shoot one of the soldier, and the others just walk by not even alerted. I don't even finished playing it after I bought it at full price, 7 months after the release (should be around 20$ that time). The multiplayer is fun but buggy.
The cons of most FPS is short single player campaign. Don't know if Crysis 2 is short too.

Far Cry was awesome, Crysis is just a remake with better graphics and super suit. The story is a typical B sci-fi plot with dumb enemies and an atrocious ending. Warhead was even dumber imo. Haven't played Crysis 2 yet, but I hear bad things about it (console port is what my bro called it).
At least Far Cry was original, Crysis just updates the engine from time to time and doesn't even bother with a story or fixing any of the problemsthey had since Far Cry

Bought it a while back when it was on sale, never could really get into it.

Was discussing this with a friend :) What do you think people, is Crysis a respected game? Does it have its fanbase? Who of you would buy the game just to try it, because they have heard about it from various places? What are it's pros and cons as a game?
Discussion over the game. Go!
