Crysis 3
Anyone else looking forward to this? Just started the series as could never get my PC to run Crysis! Great action FPS I thought, does what its meant to and offers a more open gaming arena compared to the usual corridor shooters. Not very long but I don’t mind a quick FPS fix as long as its a quality experience. On to Warhead next then should be finished with Crysis 2 before the third one comes out next month.
Not read much about 3 but I am getting the vibe that people are complaining it may not be as open as the original. Will be interesting to see what approach they have taken, whether it will be more of a tech demo or a well thought out game.

I'm looking forward to Crysis 3, although I heard that the suit will be talking to you a lot more than in Crysis 2.
I got the Platinum trophy on the PS3 version, which is when I found out how close to the end I was on PC. I was hoping that Crytek would port Warhead to console as I would rather play it on PS3. I may just have to suck it up and play it on PC at some point.

Warhead is great, it's like a refined version of Crysis 1, it complements the main game very well. If you enjoyed the other Crysis games then you'll definitely enjoy Warhead.
I've been wondering why it seems more expensive than other PC games, it's still cheaper than the console versions though so I can't really complain (currently got it on pre order for £32 from Amazon). I wouldn't really say it was a "ridiculous" price though, unless you're meaning the RRP on Origin, but I'd never actually buy a game off of there anyway, at least not while they're charging those silly prices...

55 quid lol
Just wait 2/ 3 months and it'll be 20 on steam.
Doubt it, it'll probably be a year or so after release that Crysis 3 appears on Steam, EA games are no longer carried on Steam until all of their DLC has been released, something about EA not liking Steam's way of charging for DLC (in other words, EA want to charge a ridiculous amount on their own digital distribution platform without having any digital competition...).
Crysis 2 was one of the last EA games to be released on release day on Steam, it was yanked from Steam after a couple of weeks and didn't reappear until Crysis 2: Maximum Edition with all the DLC was released about 12 months later.
Didn't like Crysis but I did enjoy the sequel. From what I've seen of this it's looking pretty sweet, even if it is incredibly unoriginal.
Flood mode in halo does it better than hunter mode.
Looks pretty but I was done witrh it so quickly. I doubt the MP will get much of a following based on what we've seen.
Agree, crazy decision. Anyone have a link explaining why?
Runs smoothly, but looks terrible.
Played OK, menus are not very user friendly and there's too much information all over the place, I've not played Crysis before and I had no idea what I was doing.
I dont have a link, but while i was trawling the MyCrysis forums last night to confirm that they wouldn't be supporting DX9/10 cards the general consensus seemed to be that Crytek wanted to create the best looking game possible and that allocating resources to DX9/10 settings wasn't worth the effort. It's ironic that everyone kicked off when Crysis 2 shipped with only DX9 settings, and now they've gone completely the other way...they're alienating more people by not supporting older DirectX versions though than they were when it didn't have DX11 settings.
I'm actually really annoyed by this, it's a damn good thing i tried to play the PC Beta last night otherwise i would have ended up buying the PC version which i wouldn't have been able to play. Apparently it looks terrible on consoles too (i'm downloading the 360 beta right now to see for myself), it's not even comparable to the lowest PC setting from what i've read.
Graphics not the best, but game play wise its pretty cool
I was going to order the 360 version since my graphics card isn't up to the task, but having played it i'm just going to wait until i get a new graphics card in a few months, for a game like Crysis you should be playing it as best you can as the graphics are half of the fun (from a spectacle perspective), but the console versions look atrocious. I don't even get how it can look THAT naff when games like Halo 4 and Uncharted 3 manage to get the best out of the respective systems and look infinitely better. We need the new consoles, sooner rather than later, because this game really shows up their age.
You can listen to it here
I'm not very far in but I seem to have a habit of finding myself further ahead that the game thinks I should be and, as a result, I keep walking into baddies as they spawn.
In the rail yard I was creeping along when 3 or 4 Cell soldiers spawned right in front of me.
Later on, in the abandoned buildings, I jumped up to the 3rd floor to grab some goodies, nobody was about so I uncloaked and then got riddled with bullets by 3 Cell soldiers who spawned all around me and then, just after that, when the Ceph first put in an appearance, I was in the process of flanking the existing group when another patrol spawned right in front of me.
Damned sloppy game design IMO.
It certainly looks impressive and maybe it'll improve later on but at the moment it's just "creep...kill...creep...kill...". Rinse and repeat.
You've got a big choice of weapons and tactics but you don't actually need to use many of them when you can usually just succeed by doing stealth kills and sniper shots.
Crysis 2 was one of the only FPSs (along with HL2) which, after finishing, I immediately played through again simply because it was so much fun but I can't see C3 generating the same enjoyment.
Liking Crysis 3, lovely graphics, remind me of Killzone 3 a bit. The feel of the guns is just great though, probably not the best time for me to be buying more games with Bioshock Infinite, State of Decay and Far Cry 3 on the go but hey, you gotta snap these things up when you see them. I'm gonna try and get a few of these games completed over the weekend. I'm impressed with it, I did enjoy Crysis 2 also.
Bit random I know but any opinions on Dante's Inferno? Is it an ok game? I was interested as I read kt was 60fps with smooth combat.
Crysis 3 hunter edition has been £19.99 new in game all week no idea about dantes inferno sorry
Yeh, THANKS!! for that. At least mine came new in wrapping unlike Game's idea of what's new.
What have i missed out on in the "Hunter's Edition"?
