 It surely provides some relief if you just feel like virtually squeezing the trigger, especially if you want to engage in such an action using the latest and the greatest rendering technology for games.
The fact to the matter is that artistically, this game is a bucket of mediocrity at the maximum kindness stretch. So I will stay firm and refuse to take my consumer pills for now and will just act spoiled and play something else. Or read a book. Or talk with people. But I WILL probably rely on Crysis for benchmarking hardware that I buy or just use it to remind me from time to time that I haven't bought all that high end microelectronics for nothing.
Finally
So in the end, I had some fun with the game, it's true only for a couple of hours but the feeling was intense and I don't regret playing through it. Although I would say it's a boring game overall, I guess it takes these kinds of titles to remind everyone about the state and quality of entertainment today.
I know some of you people enjoy foolish sitcoms, but I would rather go to the theater. I don't hate you, but please don't have me for calling a bluff with Crysis and calling it the best looking and most hyped B-Game ever.
Time will tell if Crytek finds the commercial success with their engine they are hoping for, if they end up being brought by Electronic Arts or whatever.
I shall say no more, because frankly I don't think there is anything more to be said that the game really deserves.
A quick rundown of the Pros / Cons that everybody loves and we're out of here:
Pros
- Best looking real time computer rendering so far
- Some stress relief for people who don't have the time to give a damn
- Benchmarking and patting_on_the_back (of the video card) value
Cons
- Horrible performance
- Kitschy
- Boring if you are spoiled with good games |
