crysis was dull and stale. very much a rent it game. yes i paid for it and regret it, especially with the whole 'we dont support our games' attitude they have now. they also managed to blame the pc community for crysis not selling well, then announce they have a new one they want us to buy. what?

i'm not even going to play a demo of warhead until you finish patching crysis so it runs as it should in SP/MP.

edit - my main beef with crysis was the combat itself. it lacked any excitement or 'fun'.. and it lacked any impact. the blood 'puffs' that you get when you shoot someone is barely able to be seen. at least in farcry they had decals to show you had just shot someone.

the ragdolls are also incredibly stiff. the north koreans all amazingly speak english unless you play it on the hardest difficulty and are quite happy to let you know when they are about to throw a grenade or are reloading.

they also really dont allow you any sort of fun using the suit. as the suit has a battery life of around 10-15 seconds when using stealth. not only that but any area you enter you basically have a teammate telling you to go stealth or go guns blazing. well they 'recommend' it anyway.

so yes, to sum up my beef is with the actual gunplay itself. its just not 'fun'. they spent to much time on graphics and deals with microsoft for vista. i wont even go into how generic the sounds are. actually yes i will, i actually refused to use the ak-47 type weapon that is in the game due to the sounds alone.

every character is a cliche (which i blame on american movies creating those cliche's in the first place), but the only character that does have any personality is psycho. obviously why they chose him for this game.

and what the hell, if its the same story, with the same characters, why am i going to pay full price for it? obviously, im not.
