Crysis 2 is a good game (although that story is nonsense), with somewhat weak AI.įor me one big problem Crysis 2 created though, is that the smaller environments sort of pushed you to stealth as you went up the difficulty levels. Even the DX9 version was a looker (again, when not compared to all the things Crysis had that 2 didn't) and running as well as it did, was a very different prospect to playing the first. It was worth still worth playing on low settings because the gameplay itself was that good.Ĭrysis 2 would have looked like a step forwards compared to many of Crysis's peers. I agree with the DF peeps here that Crysis wasn't 'just' pretty. The huge levels and dynamic systems made for an amazing shooter sandbox that was at the time unmatched.

Crysis wasn't just a technological step forwards, but it presented a kind of gameplay that was at the time only really possible on PCs too (though the 360 and PS3 would get there eventually). Great game, certainly enjoyable, and looks great for its age.Ĭrysis 2 is a game that really struggled due to some fair expectations. I did go back and play about half of Crysis 2 for myself on PC two years ago with the DX11 Ultra settings.

And keep in mind I was not a heavy console gamer last gen (I played used PS2 games for most of that gen), so seeing 15-25 FPS was shocking to me. It went from being impressed by all of the graphical features to being brought crashing down to reality when I saw the performance. So the narrative of Crysis 1's beauty and scope followed up by the consolized and limited design of Crysis 2 was not really how I experienced it at the time.
Then I watched a friend play a good deal of the release version on PS3, where my overriding thought was "this runs so badly holy cow." Thanks DF for confirming that I wasn't wrong about that. I actually played the multiplayer beta quite a bit, much more than I played any other multiplayer. So Crysis 2 on consoles, for me, was a really impressive treat at first. I didn't get to experience much of Crysis 1 on PC at the time, just the demo which ran pretty poorly for me and looked like Far Cry 1 in graphical quality.
