This game is so underrated. They always talk about the graphics. But people rarely talk about its great, amazing gameplay. Its rock-solid mechanics. Its just too good. So many amazing moments. I've been playing games since the days of Pac-Man (I'm old), and this is one of the best games I've ever played.

[@Cynopal]

i do agree

[@ytanonymity3585]

This game was considered as one of the best game of the year in 2007 though. I think it is the best technical achievement game of those year considering Crysis is the most demanding and the developer was really pushed the graphic to the boundaries...

[@modernmobster]

@@ytanonymity3585 thats just false in a year with bioshock, cod4, halo 3, HL2 EP2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., mass effect, and many others.

[@ytanonymity3585]

Yeah, but still Crysis for me is the best technical achievement game at the time

[@adrianrodrigopalafoxnogale8588]

still better graphics than many current games on 2016

[@zubiecup]

Adrian Rodrigo Palafox Nogales yeah, I decided to download it again just to see how far we've come, and...well...this game in 4K would still be considered beautiful for a current game. This game is almost ten years old! It's amazing that I can say that.

[@amartinez97]

add in rygel's rock and foilage texture mod and its pretty much unbeatable by anything other than crysis 3 and Battlefield 1. but the plant detail still beats all the textures in in BF1 with rygel's textures its just amazing.

[@PurpleColonel]

@Pudding Lol why do you need that resolution

[@PurpleColonel]

@Pudding Well you need games for entertainment. Why do you use that resolution? Usually higher resolutions mess up the HUD in older games

[@PurpleColonel]

@Pudding Tbh I feel like that high is a bit of overkill. I personally really enjoy the experience of older games presented in the way they were released.

[@Foxtrop13]

the best crysis game

[@ytanonymity3585]

Crysis 1 and Warhead

[@farahahmed8201]

The whole franchise is the best ever

[@jordaniel8156]

the best ______ game

[@ThunderTheBlackShadowKitty]

Did you know? The Gauss Rifle projectiles in Crysis travel at speeds of: 10,000 Kilometers per hour 6,000 Miles per hour 2,700 Meters per second 9,000 Feet per second That's the rough equivalent of Mach 8, which is 8 times the speed of sound! Compare that to the Precision Rifle projectiles in Crysis, which travel at speeds of: 4320 Kilometers per hour 2700 Miles per hour 540 Meters per second 1800 Feet per second That's the rough equivalent of Mach 3, which is three times the speed of sound! Sure, it's fast, but the Gauss Rifle is nearly three times faster. The more you know!

[@graphics_travelers]

That's why they made the Gauss Rifle use a hitscan technique and not interpolation(projectile) method like they did for all the rest of the weapons.

[@ThunderTheBlackShadowKitty]

***** I'm sorry? I was just listing a fun fact that I thought was interesting, and I wanted to share it with others who didn't know.

[@graphics_travelers]

Super Mecha Death Christ 2000 BC Version 4.0 Beta What? Oh no. I wasn't criticizing you at all I was just also sharing an interesting fact since it kind confirms what you were saying. There's no point in using a projectile method that requires engine to track the position of the slug(projectile) in each frame since in theory and in practice(US Naval Gauss Cannon) it should be incredibly fast as you mentioned it.

[@YurieSnowie]

this looks GREAT for a 2008 game

[@whatareyouthinking6021]

Its trom 2007

[@user-kr1ow8yz1b]

It's nearly close! Just few months!

[@McMeatBag]

Yeah, but will it run Crysis?

[@youtuberobbedmeofmyname]

best meme 2016

[@isabellavenzi2620]

of course, now everything can run crysis: game developers should make games in cryengine.

[@drybomber5]

@jeremiah9561 What graphics card do you have? Mine is the nividia geforce gt 555m and at max settings it the motion stutters and is choppy. (On lower settings it is smoother) Is this the case with yours or is the performance perfectly smooth on ANY setting? I'm just finding it hard to accept that mine can't run this game on max settings... this game came out in what, 2007-8?

[@bliglum]

I remember people saying "Yeah, Crysis has amazing graphics. But it sucks as a game".. Well, I just built a new rig, and am finally playing through for the first time.. So far, it's become apparent to me that people who said that either had never played it and due to their lack of the ability to do so, decided to just bad mouth it.. Or they just don't know what's up. Because this game is awesome!! The mechanics are solid, the fully open world is believable. And it truly succeeds in making you feel like a badass. I havent finished yet, so I dunno about the story, but the gameplay frigging rocks!

[@Chubzdoomer]

It isn't just you. Crysis is not just a good game, it's a great one. Those who say it looks great but has crappy gameplay or is nothing more than a tech demo obviously haven't spent much (if any) time playing it.

[@Gfunk839]

Also built a new rig and played at max graphics, finally with good fps , and dear god is this an amazing game.

[@roboguy75]

Geoffrey de Brouwer Nice to know people at least praise it for many things, rather than praise it solely for graphics.

[@Gfunk839]

***** For sure. Crysis demonstrates perfectly what a PC exclusive is capable of : Amazing controls, innovative gameplay and incredible graphics. Seriously, I am blown away that a 2007 title (+- start of the seventh gen) is basically unmatched by any FPS. An obsolute "outlier" in the world of games. It's amazing it doesn't have more reputation. I expect the same thing from Witcher 3

[@thelankytank]

I'm playing on my 360 right now so the graphics are ass and its still an amazing game. The way they transition it from an average fps to a sci fi shooter is great

[@NotaSwed]

Crysis 1: 11/10!!

[@raresmacovei8382]

Crysis 1: 9.5/10 Crysis Warhead: 9/10 (for its price) Crysis 2: 9/10 (gameplay, scope of story, optimization, graphics, flexibility, enhanced nanosuit, decent MP) Crysis 3: 8/10: Great graphics, even more flexible gameplay, even better optimization, decent story and great overall finisher. But SHORT campaign, fewer levels and a general missing sensation of awe that the first 3 games brought.

[@cfcreative1]

Rares Macovei I give all the Crysis games a 3. Tomb Raider a 6 and Homefront an 8.

[@raresmacovei8382]

cfcreative1 Tomb Raider a 6 but Homefront an 8? Pff.

[@MrNuclearturtle]

This is what happens when you focus all your resources into a single platform, with no need of worrying to make it playable for consoles. Cyrsis 2 and 3 suffers from their linearity because they are made in mind for consoles as well. I dont think there is any game right now that has the same wow factor this game had back in 07.

[@AnonEMus-cp2mn]

The only reason I was able to play this game is because it was available for the PS3 console (2011). I still play the hell out of it and it only lags slightly when it autosaves. The only difference I could think of in terms of gameplay is the V-TOL mission that wasn't included. I completely agree with your point, but I'm also happy to add that the console version of this game is very fun for me personally!

[@arsnakehert]

I played this game on a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 processor, with 512 MB of RAM and a Radeon 9550 GPU. It ran "playable" on low, but it took 20 minutes to load a level, and 512 MB of memory was so low that sometimes, when I had been some time sneaking without shooting anyone, the game would freeze to load the shot sound from disk when I finally took a shot.

[@Kagarin05]

[@roboguy75]

It's like the only thing most PC fanboys talk about is the graphics when it comes to this game. Why not mention things like the gameplay? I'm not a big Crysis fan, but even then, the enemy AI is intelligent, the alien enemies are not only badass looking but legitimately intimidating, the nanosuit powers are fun as hell to use, especially throwing guys around like ragdolls, choosing different paths, etc. I may not be a fan, but even those I say are very good and well done, so why aren't those mentioned as much as the graphics? I mean come on.

[@EvilTim1911]

Because the graphics of Crysis at the time were unmatched, which can't be said for any other element of the game. There are and were games out there with better AI, gameplay, and pretty much every other element, but not with those amazing graphics.

[@anthonyj4735]

***** So playing a game on pc automatically makes you a fanboy?

If you play games to be "hardcore" then you shouldn't play games. It shouldn't matter what system somebody plays on to enjoy a game (as long as it works anyways). If you think playing a game on a PC makes you a god, you seriously need some help.

[@MDUmairKh]

I always gamed primarily on Consoles. Only after 2008, I switched to PC gaming but still kept my Consoles. I'm not saying playing on PC makes me hardcore or a better gamer now but Console hardware has limitations and Crysis 2's design suffered from it. It's a fact. Crysis 1 had huge open levels. Crysis 2 was linear corridor game.DJ Boomstick
