So has anyone else indulged themselves in the graphics the graphics in this game? They're mind blowing if you can crank them to 'Very High'. Hell, even if you can't. 'Medium' still looked great on my last machine, but I got a couple of screenshots (sized down for this forum) that I grabbed that stun me. Mind you this is the real deal. Not CGI cut scenes. Actual gameplay graphics. I took these at 1920X1080 resolution, full FSAA, full FSAF all 'Very High' settings, no VSync.

 

 

 

The game itself is nice too. I loved the Deus Ex series of games, and this is the only other modern game I can think of that has human augmentation in it with on the fly switching of active augmentations, rather than passive ones that help you at all times (barring the recent Deus Ex: Human Revolution of course). I'm still working my way through it, but I love it so far.

The graphics in this game are just damn sweet, wish IV had those kind of graphics :D

I still remember back in 2007 how everyone went crazy about the graphics the first Crysis had to boast. Hell, I loved that game so much that I even made mods for it back then. Crysis has always produced truly spectacular graphics and I absolutely love the fact that they're keeping up the pace for other companies to compete with.

You know graphics aren't all in a game?

 

Even if they look incredibly good I've heard the game finally has been disappointing. Gotta agree the first Crysis was awesome and even these days it still has an amazing graphics.

I agree with strike on this one, although graphics are about 25% scripting,map structure,story/game play are the rest (and most important part of a game).

You are right on that, most games nowadays do have exceptional graphics but short and often poor storylines.

I'm going to have to disagree. Crysis always sets a new bar, and other engines out there get old fast. Especially the Call of Duty engine, but they keep that lower tech on purpose to keep frame rates high and coding for yearly releases easier. I think Crysis 2 and 3 both had good story lines, and the game's augmentations are a central part of how you play. I think they work well. I wish the hand to hand combat was a bit more interesting, but other than that the game meets all of my expectations. They even have dedicated servers for PC players.

I never said Crysis had a bad plot, I meant most new games in general. The only Crysis that did have a very short storyline was Warhead, the others are all great.

 

Yeah I never bothered with Warhead. It was just an expansion more or less. The thing about Crysis though is that the alien invasion scenario is getting a bit old. Doom Quake and Unreal kind of kicked it off, then Halo capitalized on it, and now it's just becoming redundant. Then again you could say the same thing about 'Modern Warfare' FPS games like Call of Duty, Battlefield, Operation Flashpoint, Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six Vegas 1 & 2, etc.
