Crysis

[SniperShot]

Quite possibly the best looking game to have ever hit the PC market came out a couple days ago. I know it's been talked about around here before but anyone else planning on picking it up?

This image is 1220x780 so some of it will get cut off, but you gotta see a full sized shot.

Look at the shadows, The dust flying in the air, trees bend and break depending on how they are shot, branches fly off trees, leaves get kicked up, brush sways. The amount of realism in this game parallels to live action quality.

It's a darn shame 90% of PC owners out there right now will have to crank the graphics way down in order to simply make the game playable... I'll probably be picking the game up sometime very soon.

That's why I'm holding out until I can get a computer that can handle the game on it's highest slider settings. I don't want to have to water anything down. I'm gonna wait a couple of more months until after the holiday season and hopefully prices will come down on CPU's and graphics cards.

Me to, I downloaded the demo and tried it on highest, it was a joke...

I decided to save my $50.

I wouldn't even be able to run the demo on my 128MB card. Bioshock demo wouldn't run.

I'm sure it's not the developer's choice. I really don't think the 360 or PS3 have the hardware to run the game as it needs to be run. I'm sure they could dumb down the graphics considerably and it would run, but that kinda defeats the purpose.

FInally got a rig that can run this game... and man is it sweet! Graphics are just insane... especially the water effects. Sometimes I take a break from the action just to look at how realistic the surroundings are. By the far the best graphics I've ever seen of any game ever.

Gameplay is boring - IMO. Which is why, despite all the graphics aclaim, it was a MAJOR flop.

Really? I found it a bit unimaginative, but definitely not boring. I love sneaking through the grass and then pulling your rifle up, zooming in and pounding a bullet through some poor Korean's head. I typically like that type of "action" more than just running in, guns blazing with fully automatics. The story line's been pretty vague so far, (probably intentionally) but I like the concept of discovering an alien artifact or whatever. I haven't encountered any aliens yet, but the anticipation of discovering things is exciting. I don't think Crysis really re-invents the wheel in any way, but it's a good solid shooter with gorgeous eye candy.

Anyone finished this game? I'm about to.
