Crysis Reviews

Good job Frie

Eagerly anticipating my copy to arrive in the post!

Mh if Metascore stays 93 I think someone at Eurogamer will bite his ass (Half-Life 2: 96)

Apart from this: Well deserved all Crytekians (Frie, Alf, Narby, everyone else )

It still use only 1 core though

Huh?

PC Gamer in US gave it a 98%.

Aye big grats, sounds like its one hell of a game beyond the demo stuff. Cant wait (Even though I'll have to play here at work unless I wanna play with crap settings D:)

80% score at 1up, seems halfway thru the game becomes a linear experience.

no way i can play this one :[

gotta wait next year for a decent rig..

As I recall they gave HL and HL2 the same score.

I find that PC Gamer US are sometimes a bit generous with their scoring. Not that I need a number to tell me if I find a game good or not

I'm in Frankfurt right now, I've been to the Crytek office this morning and everyone seems to be pretty happy about the scores the game has received overall.

Release party begins in a few hours, should be fun

(word on the street is that hessi is showing up)

Thanks for the comments!

WHOCHA - I recommend you upload fotos asap! Of both of you, Hessi and Yourself. And give us Fotos of the yerli brothers and alf!

10/10 in the swedish magasine GameReactor.. How this be possible? =)

i just recieved the game, and i have to say from about 20 minutes of play, that this game is absolutely stunning - the graphics, the gameplay, the atmosphere. not having played the demo i didn't know what i was going into, but this game truly exceeded whatever expectations i had.

huge grats to frie ;D

someone gave bioshock 100% / 10/10 so yeah, seems like bioshock and crysis are both the best game ever, utterly perfect in every way.

Scores are pretty retarded anyway, who gives 'so-and-so' the right to judge whether X is better than Y in terms of Z. I can see the point of them but they are still dumb.

Yes, I think scores would be much better if they learnt from the film industry and just restricted it to four stars, which are relative. So if a game gets four stars that just means 'excellent', three means 'good', 'etc'.

The problem with the current shitty system that most sites/magazines use (percentages and stuff) is it introduces the element of one game being 2% better than another. How the hell do you justify a 2% difference in words? I bet even the reviewers themselves couldn't say why Crysis deserves 96% and BioShock only 95% (false examples).

Crazy.

Just opened the game and stuck it in my computer, installing now. :] i hope my 8800GTX and Q660 proc can handle this

no I don't think crysis is the best

Quote from Will

"This is a game that feels supremely engineered, like a precision machine, or a German automobile. It makes Half-Life 2 seem old and frail, but by the same token it does nothing to diminish the imaginative achievements of that series." 9/10

For the love of Satan, why must everything be compared to Half-Life 2 all the time? A game which is highly overrated in the first place...

...whereas Crysis looks fucking amazing and it would seem it plays it too. This is one of those games where graphics and technology become more important than gameplay. My question now is how the Hell is anyone going to top that? Not even Alan Wake is as complex and detailed!
