And no, I don't like UT3 either. As you can probably tell, I chose Quake3 over UT99 Different things for diff... oh wait. Q3 over Unreal? Cmon... EWWWWW
In all seriousness, people just like different games and it has nothing to do with the quality of said games. For example I also thought ETQW was very meh. Granted I only played the demo, but give me TF2 for that kind of gameplay. A few friends and I all snagged it and played it on LAN for about 20 minutes. We were all sick of it by then and moved on. It just felt poorly done. The animations and the hit detection. Also, while I like Q3 (the above was a bit of a joke) I wouldn't imagine playing it over UT.
I do agree with you on Crysis. I am just not that impressed. It doesn't seem bad, but I don't get the hype either. It was ok, but that is about it. I do not, however, think anything is wrong with the game. It is probably just like FarCry and some of the other games I mentioned, I don't like them much - but plenty of others will
