Crysis 2

    Quote from insta

    The interactive cutscene I hated the most was when the bridge

    , because it cut from gameplay to EPIC SCRIPTED RUNNING AND JUMPING and I was like "oh cool, the game plays itself now, ill have a drink of water", then at the end of this epic marathon the game gave me a 5 second window to press F to HOLD ON, which I didn't since I was busy drinking water, so I fell to my death, then got to replay the entire bridge sequence. That's when my super-abuse of invisible-mode started.

    lol the exact same thing, down to the drinking water part, happened to me last night

    Thirded, though I wasn't doing anything, just sat back for a moment while I figured it was doing it's own thing

    I disliked each and every one of those sequences. Why do game designers find them necessary to include in a game? It takes control away from you but still expects you to pay attention and do something. That completely defeats the point. I remember saying to myself on the bridge section: Why do I have to watch this silly sequence? Why couldn't I have been in control the whole time running through a collapsing bridge? Fucking consoles.

    What does that have to do with consoles?? It's just an effect of someone writing such an AWESOME sequence of events in the story.txt file that it's impossible for the player to successfully perform it, therefore the best decision is to make the game take control so the player is sure to fully appreciate the amount of explosives and smoke particles on the screen. It's not a console problem, just a bad design decision :neutral:

    Yeah I'm really annoyed with those parts as well, it completely takes you out of the game, so unnecessary. I really don't get the point of so much scripted stuff, it's all very forgettable and generally annoying, and it really looks like a lot of the budget went into that .

    Looks as though it wasnt very forgettable when so many people are bringing it up in here

    well ofc there's a lot of work going in these scenes but we have some very good technical artists who really create some cool moments. if it's a qte in the end is obviously decided by some one else...

    hl2 still wins in that aspect, never takes control away.

    Being trapped in a room for 10 minutes while someone on a monitor speaks is pretty awesome.

    I looked at the box yesterday at the store. Saw the 60 buck pricetag and said "Nyaa"

    The 1st game wasn't all that great. I think I'll wait till this one drops a bit. I'd really be upset paying 60 bucks and it be the same disappointment as the first one.

    Damn. I hope no one ever shits on a game any of you spend 2-3 years of your life on as hardcore as you guys have in this thread.

    I cannot believe you just said that. I have endured endless praises for silly console games. Where were you when I needed you to say something there?

    I buy 100's of dollars worth of games. Sometimes they are good, sometimes not. BUT never have I been told not to say which was which.

    I didn't particularly like Crysis. It wasn't my cup of tea. HOWEVER I did buy it.. I think that gives me all the right I need to say I liked it or not.

    More about the lack of decorum some posters display than having legitimate critiques/complaints.

    I'll grant you that then. I don't like people whom complain just for complaining sake either.

    Still though, I haven't said anything bad about 2.. I just commented on 1.

    I conceed your point.

    Like who/what? I haven't seen anything like that in this thread, give some examples
