Crysis 3

[**G.I.BRO**]

Bah, cant decide if i want to get this... i loved the first crysis but hated the 2nd, how or where does this one fall? I guess the biggest thing i hated about the 2nd, didnt actually buy it so time was limited, was that it felt way too consolish and the world, or the lack of, felt to linear. Is C3's world as vast as the first one or at least much better than C2?

Been playing it, so far I like it much more than crysis 2. Seems solid

The AI jump happened to me once in 4 hours.

www.play-sc.com. It's a Singapore website. No problem activating the code on Origin.

Anyone else use these guys for their key? Are they ok?
I'd prefer to buy a key from a seller that uses Paypal (like play-sc), rather than entering Credit Card info etc.
Crysis 3 was completely off my radar, but it looks incredible and I absolutely loved Crysis 2, so now I have to have it!

Didn't use play-sc but cdkeysdiscount, cdkeyshere and intkeys all accept paypal.

I haven't seen the AI jump thing yet but I have noticed that some ambient sounds get muted when you use stealth form and have noticed an odd transparent double image to the left of my gun and some npc's if I shut 3d off.

It happens in the exact same location so when you reach there, you will see it.

well past that point.

Then you were lucky. Now continue enjoying that awesome.

In 3D the game is phenomenal. I have never seen anything like it...
Even wifey was surprised when I showed her those OMG GRAFIX!

def better than crysis 2, not on the level of crysis 1/warhead tho

I'm really enjoying the vegetation/long grass (although it seems a bit odd, like the grass is running at 30 fps while everything else above 60).

Well at least it wasn't a 5 hour game for me. Took about 8 hours on Veteran, did most or all side missions, played 80% in cloak sneaking about. Second last level is quite large which is nice, most levels aren't huge though. Couple of fairly linear sections. Story ended better than I expected. End cut scene was a nice nod to the original although I think having it "playable" would have been amazing.

Quality was up and down for me, AI bugs, level glitches, dialogue and even weapons were mixed. Some aspects of the visor I like, like info of enemies or tagging fired arrows. Didn't really like being spotted before my visor saw anything. Stalker and flamer enemies are neat additions. Wasn't a big fan of enemies spawning well within visor range after certain triggers. The side missions were usually pretty thin, just go somewhere off the direct path and collect item.

I think there is a lot of influence from call of duty in crysis 3, some subtle and some overt. There is also some influence from HL2 in a few sequences. I'm not sold on the weapons in C3 nor do I think the weapon balance is great (sp). Lot of insane recoil on weapons, the javelin is quite frankly annoying to use - you fire and the kickback prevents you from aiming the laser for a few seconds after launch. I never really felt in control of my arsenal. Bow makes stealth kinda trivial.

I will probably play through the game again on various difficulties, I'm really having a hard time judging this one. My gut says its inferior to 1 and 2 but technically it does things better than 2. It's the best looking pc game out right now, so at least they go that part right.

The low frame rate grass is really annoying I'd rather have it not sway at all.

5 years later and the third game still hardly looks better than the first. Love those consoles.

Pass on the dope man...

[demo]

No kidding this game looks great where as Crysis 2 looked like an average port.

[Blasphemer]

Just made the mistake of buying this, can't even install the bloody thing, apparently origin needs an update, which would be ok if it would bloody download, maxing out at 7kbps (lovely dial up speed) and then just giving up and quitting, and saying i'm offline, great work EA. And before you say its my connection, although its not superfast I got here, I can stream video, and can surf and download other things, just not the update. Next time I'm just downloading it, saves a lot of problems.

THE FROG FROM THE TECH DEMO IS IN THE GAME, GOTY 2010!

There are quite a few of those. Very well tessellated too.

First thing I did when I got to the city, blow up a deer with the bow and kill a frog.

Ok anyone who dosen't like or appreciate the Crysis series are just plain nuts...stupid. No offense to anyone here, so don't start throwing things at me!

Crysis - gameplay was good, not great. Graphics were awesome.

Crysis Warhead - gameplay was ok, but I felt like I was playng Crysis again, but just with smoother performance.. Graphics were again awesome.

Crysis 2 - gameplay was awesome. Graphics were awesome. The best of the series so far....

Crysis 3 - fantastic game play. Graphics are the best I've ever seen in a game. This one several steps above Crysis 2, and IS now the best by far in the series.

I play SP only. I cannot stand the multiplayer experience. Deathmatch against a bunch of online nerds....please. Again guys don't start throwing stuff at me!!

Just my honest opinion.

Your opinion is welcomed in this forum full of retards who think Crysis 3 sucks.

Lookng forward to the price drop, I enjoy the crysis series, but i don't enjoy the mp. So $60 for 7 hours isn't worth it to me. Not a knock on the game, but for 60 I'd like something like the length of deadspace or the mp to be as good as bf or even cod.

The way the searchlight interacted with the environment on level 4 was pretty dope.

Mangler I hope you are pushing them levels in 3D. When you get some more power and kill tons of gay ass aliens, in 3D, the lighting and gun play is absolutely phenomenal (level 5).

I could care less for the multiplayer either that is why I didn't pay full price for the game. I did the same for 2. Other than that the game looks sweet and I'm having fun playing

Still tweaking though because movement so far is screwing with my head Sometimes it feels like I'm watching a "live" version of a TV show the way the camera moves and stuff like I'm processing things faster than "realtime" I don't really know how to explain it otherwise maybe the game is too realistic

Have you increased mouse sensitivity in options to 40. That would remove the movie like cinematic effect.

Yeah, I'm using 3d, it's not as good as "real" 3d games such as metro, but it is better than playing it in 2d.

And there is less aliasing with 3d enabled too.

How does this work, they get me a key and i can activate it through origin? So the game tile is located under my origin game listings (fully integrated with origin) or is it side loaded meaning i launch through the desktop icon?

[KAC]

Game is in your origin and when you launch through desktop origin is launched first. Yes, the key is legit and redeemable on origin.

I vouch for the site as well I got my key there 2 days ago activated just fine. Don't be a Meg "Omega" Griffin like some other person I know

Thanks for the suggestion on the mouse sensitivity KAC it seems to have helped

[Mickey Padge]

I have a GTX680, 16GB RAM, 4.5Ghz 3770K, and Crysis 3 does look very nice, all maxed out with a 30fps lock (better that than between 30-60 all the time)

Only using FXAA, never really used AA much anyway..... Still, Skyrim maxed out looks and runs better with all my mods and ENB tweaks, seems like a performance hole with this title.....

[eNforcer]

How's the multiplayer?

[spyre]

I am liking the game also, very nice graphics and runs OKish in Crossfire. Trifire has negative scaling in the title so I have reported that to AMD.

I am taking my time with it so only done a few levels so far. The AI is a bit retarded in places but acceptable (better than the ACM AI for sure) It is too easy though if you use stealth and get the stealth upgrades.

I've never played multi-player in any of the Crysis games so can't comment on that.

Can you make the HUD smaller? Does it scale down with resolution?

[Skinner]

This game simpley owns everything, on every aspect, damn 'that something like this is possible....

[Litennörd]

Haven't seen this posted before. It seems like the performance problems in the first level are caused by the moving ropes

[spyre]

No I don't think you can change the HUD
