Just like the CoD4 thread that's buzzing, I agree with Aphex that it comes to user preference...if I need my Crysis fix...the demo is a-plenty for me atm. I love CoD4 and still play it quite a bit, both are great games and FPS games will improve from here, hopefully improving on previous flaws...I mean, compare the AI, graphics, physics, shadows, and gameplay to a game like Quake (first one) or Doom (first one)...things not only have changed a lot in many perspectives, but have improved drastically...
I see Palit_guy's perspective also, and had actually thought the same thing when reading through what I could stand in that article. Doesn't mean Crysis is a bad game, but in my mind it won't be remembered as a great game...it'll be remembered as a game that was more of a benchmark than a game for most...at least how I've seen it, and those I know that play or used to. Nothing wrong with that...hell Oblivion had that reign for quite a while, was still a decent game, but it was definately a benchmark for quite a long time...gotta have those kind of games out there that nobody can play maxed out...I think it's just another way to keep gamers upgrading to get that extra bit of eye-candy and AA/AF, and it works. That may not be the goal...who knows...but in the end, I know a lot of people and a lot of threads were made in a lot of forums about people building new rigs just to play Crysis, and sadly most were dissapointed by overall performance, now in generation or two of graphics technology improvements...Crysis will be a walk in the park for mid-range cards...it's not really that bad in performance anymore...unless you wanna see all maxed, super-hi resolutions and max AA/AF.
It's all good though, there will be those that love/hate any game, for any reason, and in the end all that really matters is not the flaming from those that hate it or dislike it...but how much you enjoy it or not. It is good to see more diversity in similar genre's though...even if some are dissapointing, getting different ideas out to gamers is definately a plus in my mind.
:toast;
