Hmmm I'm just not keen on the interior lighting D: It's just too rust colored for my liking.

Just finished it. Good game with some nice ideas but extremely frustrating and an absolute system hog.

Buy Crysis.

Ok my opinions so far after a good 5 hours solid play :

The bad :

Some of the designers need to be shot. Particular sections of the game are just infuriating. Notable moments being the tank section and the end of the Alien Cave section. With the cave, I just found myself aimlessly wondering (floating) around for 10 minutes before I accidentally stumbled over the trigger to end the section of the map. Ugh.

First person weapons are shaky and jitter about slightly and ruin the otherwise perfectness of the graphics and animation.

The way Prophet gets taken out just sucked. Sucked I tell you (whether or not he makes the famous hero comeback later on in the game I don't know) But how he was just snatched away so ungracefully after all that had happened up until that point just felt like a hell of an anti climax.

The physics. Man, they are pretty poor to be honest in Crysis. The amount of Koreans I've seen stuck in bits of corrugated metal doing the electric dance was hilariously bad. Coupled with the burned out husks of attack helicopters I blew out of the air just continuously vibrating like crazy as soon as they hit the ground was a real atmosphere breaker.

The good :

Wow. The graphics are phenomenal. Especially the winter section with the blowing snow. Fantastic.

The voice acting, top notch actors. I like it when actors are cast who actually put effort into their lines it brings so much more to the game. Especially Prophet I thought the actor did a fantastic job.

The cut scene animations between your squad are great. Even though it's still not 100% like human motion and looked a little poor in places and let the graphics and voice acting down it was still great to watch.

The music. What can I say, great stuff to listen to. Set the mood nicely. Kudos to the music guys.

The weapons. They're fun to shoot. Rather important factor considering it's an fps and all.

Destructible foliage and buildings are so much fun and really adds to the fire fights.

That's it for now. I'll come back with some more when I've played further.

Quote from Taylor

Heh, pretty clever. Though it wears a bit thin after a while.My favourite stand up at the moment is probably Dara O'Briain.

Good man! Best thing to come outta Ireland since ...ever!

Quote from Belgarion

I wonder if you'll be able to tell which surveys are from mapcore.

Please. It will be all of the results with 500+ gaming hours.

I wish I had hair like yours D:

Nice joint btw, is that your place?

Congrats deads, another new game you can play on your PC.

Tutorial

Your problem is the sink and toilet are spaced too far apart and have far too much space in the wall dedicated to them. Along with the ceiling being too high giving it a much larger sense of space. Shrink it down and bring the wall in.

... what?

Quote from Defrag

Awesome stuff, Zaphod. My only criticism is that the frozen section (where the road looks like it's iced over) blends in with the snow on the side of the tracks quite a bit making it hard to see where the track is.

Yeah same here!

Damn that blows! But yep, if you have a good connection digital is the way to go

And the Natural History Museum!

I only just discovered this guy through a mate linking me, and Christ - he's brilliant. Check out his others as well. Walter is especially brilliant.

Oxford street has a huge fuck off HMV on it, and a really neat metal shop tucked away on the main street. You definitely have to go into the London Dungeon it was fucking awesome when I went there. Love to go again.

Bravo
