Pewrsonally I loved crysis 3 even more on the first playtrough. The storytelling is so insanely good on so many levels. Yes, that game wasn't as good gameplaywise, its way way way too short and I have encountered about 20 bugs, some more problematic than others. The levels though have such cool settings and some really good adjustments were made like the attachment machanics or the Hammer/K-Volt reworks or the special ammo crates made things so much better. One thing though I want them to do: The games are too easy on Posthuman Warrior. Especially Crysis 3, when I play to just fuck around and kill some aliens I still play on posthuman because everything else is a joke. Of course that has something to do with me just being an insane freaking fanboy but anyway, I feel like there needs to be an even bigger challenge.

F.E.A.R. AI was an "accidental inteligence", kinda like how the gunship from Half Life 2 can destroy missiles without being programed to do it (it attacks the "greatest danger", wich includes player launched projects), Specifically, the A.I. is programmed for a limited number of simple behaviors: moving in coordinated squads, providing covering fire, seeking cover, and repositioning itself based on the player's movement and position. The A.I. isn't actually programmed to flank or circle behind the player, but its tendency to seek cover and reposition itself based on the player's movements results in flanking and circling behaviors occurring naturally without "conscious" effort on the A.I.'s part (mostly due to the A.I.'s high mobility combined with its preference for seeking lateral cover rather than charging the player directly). It's more the level design

For me Crysis 2 was amazing game, best in series. It have some flaws, like extreme consolisation, but gameplay and story-wise was far superior to 1st game. It feels like a big Hollywood blockbuster filled with action. I really, really like it. It's epic, it's shiny, and THAT SOUNDTRACK... Jesus, that might be single best ost in any game i have ever played. So yea, it is solid, fun and really good FPS. So why so bad reception? Probably because it was CRYSIS without jungle, huge open enviroment and without cosmic system requirements... other than that... i see no other reason really. When i read some forums and watched videos about Crysis series i realised that, just like me, most fans thinks this is best entry in Crysis franchaise. BONUS: Crysis 2 is the only game I finished 4 times... in a row. Each playthrough on different difficulty. And BONUS 2: All my thoughts coming from 3 sources, and they are all quite same. I played it a year after release, I played it literally month ago and I ekhm... yea i played that full-leaked alpha version BEFORE release... My thoughts about this game didn't changed one bit.

But definitly I'd agree that 3 fixed so many little things, like attachments you can put on every weapon like in crysis 1 (okay maybe you can't put a 10x scope on the shotgun anymore). The best level designs in my opinion are the ones from 3 though. They are pretty open in some cases (Only human eg, the second to last mission), sadly there are so few of them.

One very neat thing about the guns is that there's multiple reload animations. Empty mag, one in the chamber (the hud shows you a +1), and these also change if you're in stealth or armor. In stealth they are slower as to avoid sound, while in armor they are more forceful and quick. I especially love the Hammer's empty mag reload while in armor, Alcatraz just snaps that thing closed. The sniper also has a very satisfying empty mag reload, very clanky and snappy.

It genuinely made a huge difference for me because it made the guns actually make sense. Like for example the SCAR used 4mm sabot rounds which IRL would be incredibly weak since the projectile would be super light however it would be good for piercing armor. And that's exactly how the gun works in game. It was weak for an assault rifle and it took many bullets to kill however it makes sense in game because of the ammo type. So much about the game just screamed that the developers loved the world they were building and I commend that

Crysis 3 did away with this and it's just one of those little things that makes the difference.

The only thing i hated about crysis 2 is prophet, everything else i loved it. But isnt it annoying that Phophet just took over Alcatraz body just because he dont want to die ? I know Alcatraz gonna die anyway without the suit, but he still doing his thing in the suit
@darthgiorgi49904 жыл бұрын
There is something you might be interested it: Crysis : Legion is a book where Alcatraz recounts C2 afterwards in the interrogation by his military superiors. It's quite interesting. The next book ( don't know its name) tells us that Prophet becomes a dominant after some time. But sometimes after he sleeps he finds some weird stuff has happened, which is revealed that Alcatraz was taking over when Prophet "slept", during which he was searching for his sister. The inner confrontation occurs, and it's shown that Alcatraz's mind is slowly fading due to his injuries in C2. With last thing we get from Alcatraz is him biding farewell to Prophet and letting go to be finally gone.

Alcatraz is dying in the suit. There’s no way he could survive. The suit keeps him alive long enough for it to assimilate into his body, repair the injuries, and when it’s time, when they use the suit upgrade to kill all the Ceph, Alcatraz dies and Prophet re-emerges and uses Alcatraz’s corpse as a meat puppet to run the suit. Yup. That’s right. Crysis 2 is a bit fuckered

If it wasn't for crysis 2 I probably would never have checked out the doom series and doom is currently my favorite game to this date. So I'm really glad I was able to play crysis 2 when I did, it really opened me up into a different world and playstyle for gaming.

I originally played Crysis 2 in 2013, I had a GeForce GT 630 2GB GDDR3 in a HP prebuilt that only had 4gb Ram DDR2 with an Athlon II X2 250. I had a 1600x900p monitor and I remember playing it on “High”(low settings for this game) with HD textures and DirectX11 turned on at 900p, I remember getting at least 30-40fps even in combat but I was 14 at the time and I highly enjoyed this game. Multiplayer was still semi-active too and I played a decent amount of multiplayer as well and it was enjoyable from my memories. Fast forward to 2019 and me being now 21 with a GTX 980 Ti, 12gb DDR4 Ram, along with a Ryzen 2600 with a 1080p monitor in a computer I built myself, I revisited the game and obviously it’s at 1080p maxed out with HD textures and the DirectX11 goodies, this game is beautiful still but textures do seem early 2010’s quality still. Gameplay I find it “fine” and I played it fully through and I enjoyed it but definitely not to the level I enjoyed it back when I was 14. Multiplayer is obviously completely dead now so I can’t review that. I remember wishing I got a GTX 560 Ti along with upgrading the Ram and getting a Phenom II processor to upgrade the HP prebuilt so I can play all the latest games back in 2012 at settings better then low or medium but all I could afford was a GT 630 back when I was 14 and obviously can’t get a job. Good old memories

The only thing I feel inclined to point out is that Prophet did not take control over Alcatraz’s body at the end of the game. There’s a book that takes place between Crysis 2 and 3 that explains he went to go visit his mother and sister or something and the suit did like a reboot and his consciousness became “corrupted” in a sense. So Prophet took over.

Crysis 2 made stealth more viable option since it was necessary. I remember in C1 an enemy outpost that was in my way to the first obj. What did I do? WENT ALL THE WAY AROUND THE SIDE!!! I was a good half mile in the jungle completely safe from the outpost. That's not fun stealth. Fun stealth is when you are confined spaces with the enemy or if outdoor, the enemy is actively searching for you.

Hey jarek! Dude, hope u doing well in these trying times. Cool cool video btw. I played this game first back wen it came out. Loved it then. Then again in 2013 and again in 2016. That was the last time. Total no. Of playthroughs about 6 the last two were on post human warrior. In summary i loved it. Graphics weren't as grounbreaking as in crysis. And story was alright in my opinion. But gameplay, although not as open as in crysis still gave enough choices to deal with a certain situation. Weapons were freaking cool. Loved the new SCAR esp its model and the sound it made. Generally all guns were great in this game. Liked the changes done to the suit. And some of the set pieces were damn fantastic. And the music dude..i still listen to it. Sound design and music (minus the voiceacting) was spot on. Enemies could behave like total idiots at times but hey this isn't far cry or FEAR so i can forgive it. All in all i enjoyed my time with this game a lot. And its nothing like Call of duty. And graphically battlefield 3 was in my opinion best looking game of 2011. But crysis 2 looked and looks great too. About the only niggling complaint i have abt this game is that the "suit" got all these ironman type upgrades esp the visor mode which highlighted everything. Kinda made the game easy. But this game is pretty fucking far from a bad game. Love ur views on these games as always. Keep it up.

Crysis to Crysis 2 was an almost identical experience to going from Bad Company to Bad Company 2 for me. Really love the first game, then the second game seems to throw away what I liked about the first game, i.e open levels and sandbox gameplay. The story feels disconnected between games for both too. I think if the first games didn't exist, I'd like the second ones more. I'm gonna have to give Crysis 2 another chance sometime and judge it for itself.
