Out of the 11 levels of Crysis, only 2 are snow levels. Why don't developers bother to put this kind of detail anymore?
>>332454397
Laziness. Lack of ambition.
>>332454397
If only they had used the time to make the actual game good.
>>332454397
I'll never understand why they stick so much aesthetic details in Crysis. But never bothered fixing the aliens and helicopters following you wherever you go in Crysis even when invisible.
What's the "crysis sucks" meme?
It's pretty good looking WITH good gameplay for 2007.
>>332456116
It's not a meme when it's true. Crysis is a subpar FPS and a glorified benchmark.
You can stop pretending otherwise, Cervat.
>>332455962
>shooting aliens is the worst part of the game
>It's also the majority of the game
>>332456116
I don't know man.
I enjoyed it a lot back when I first played it.
I thought it did a lot of things very well.
I especially liked the gun-modding system.
>>332454397
>Why don't developers bother to put this kind of detail anymore?
Consoles. There's your answer.
>>332456116
dunno, but maybe because at that time there were still good solo fps (fear, stalker, ect.).
But i really liked it. Crysis 2 was a big disappointment.
>>332456548
No man. Crysis is a pretty good fps, the level design is very interesting as it will always give you multiple ways to get to an objective. Some ways are better for a furtive approach, some ways are better for a rambo approach. I really loved the free choice they gave you and the gunplay is pretty decent.
Only thing i'd say is disappointing in Crysis is the I.A, but it's decent enough to allow you to create diversions and infiltrate a base without every enemy knowing your position when one guy spots you.
The Division is TECHNOLOGY incarnate.
It's the only game in like 5 years to do this shit.
>>332456850
This. Most of the devs already struggle to deliver a sold framerate at 30 fps. So you can forget such details.
Reminds me of how tw3 was butchered when they realized that it won't do it on consoles.
>>332457147
I like that snowstorms in the city accumulate on your character with heavier storms leaving more snow on you and lighter snowfalls only leaving specks. Also the barrel of some guns become red due to overheating them after shooting for too long
>>332456548
Try actually switching modes and not using just stealth+armor
>>332457031
Crysis is pretty cool if you decide not to do these two things:
- Abuse invisibility and limit yourself to like, 5 uses of it per checkpoint.
- Speedrun the game. Because you can really just skip a big chunk of the game by sprinting and jumping through it.
It's a misunderstood game, lots of memesters insisted it's shit for some reason.
>>332457457
>- Abuse invisibility and limit yourself to like, 5 uses of it per checkpoint.
What i personally do is that instead of limiting myself, i just avoid using invisibility at all. If i want to infiltrate a base i'll go from cover to cover by crawling (fast) to it, and i often hide in bushes. It's pretty neat, i wish Invisibility wasn't as OP as it is because it remove a lot of challenge if you don't do it right
>>332457147
Can't believe this was made by the same company that made Watch Dogs
>>332457457
When I figured you could just run through half the game it sort of killed it. Like the first three levels you can cut out half of it.
>>332457773
It's not. Publishers =/= developers.
>>332457248
Makes me wonder what the Division would have been like had it been PC exclusive. It might have actually delivered on its promises and not sucked.
Think of how much deeper and more enriching games like Fallout: New Vegas could have been if they took advantage of the PC platform's memory specs. It's fucking heartbreaking.
>>332457147
Can anyone tell me why this game runs like ass for me? I'm using a 970, and I can barely run it 30 fps on lowest setting
>>332458094
Check your temps.
I'm running a 970 and an i5, 60fps on high.
>>332457931
My point exactly. I pretty much flew through half of the game by abusing strength/speed.it was fun
>>332458094
What
>>332458159
Said, and get an application like EVGA PrecisionX to manually boost your fan. Most 970s straight up won't run the fan until it's way too fucking hot.
>>332454397
Because most developers aren't making proof of concept games to sell their game engine.
>using keyboard shortcuts to quick-switch from stealth to strength then back

This tacticool boner cannot be contained. Also:

Do PCfags ever stop jerking themselves off?
>>332454397
>>332455962
crysis was actually incredible. they got everything right except for the alien part being linear.
people hated the game though because they're retarded. I don't actually even know why. literally if it was open world the entire time similar in vein to a metroid vania it would've been THE best game ever made. the physics, movement everything was great.
>>332454397
Budgets have become tighter, there is less funding going around, turning a profit is harder thanks to the world economy after the shitstorm of 2008.
You have to cut the chaff and get to the meat of the product.
>>332458796
They get off on consolefags being salty, so they're perpetually in a state of eros.
>>332458796
sometimes it's nice to imagine an optimum world where people aren't retarded.
>>332454397
And where did that get crytek? Almost drove them n the ground. Attention to detail is fine when you're blizzard and your pockets are so stuffed with money you can wipe your ass with $100 bills till you die and not have a care in the world. Most devs don't have resources to do this kind of shit, and honestly crytek didn't either, they overstretched, which is why the game turned out mediocre overall
>>332458905
killing yourself would be a good start
>>332458796
Well, still better than console cucks blowing each other all the time

I adore the sections of Crysis where you oppose the North Koreans but I drop it and haven't bothered to go froward with it every time we get to the aliens sections. Who in their right fucking mind thought those were a good idea after the perfection of what came before
>>332458762
>plow jeep into group of 30 koreans and immediately jump out stealthed.
>proceed to stealth shotgun remaining injured koreans
I like how the AI in that game seemed to react to genuinely terrifying rambo behavior. it wasn't perfect. people bitched about this for some reason though.
>>332458094
it's probably the fact that your card is a meme to be honest fambly
in Uncharted 4 when enemies shoot at sandbags the sand piles up on the ground beneath the bullet hole.
>>332454397
I remember having to use a program to fake my graphics card to run Crysis, 4fps opening cutscene minimum graphics and all.
Upgraded to play at 60 maximum and wasn't dissapointed.
Watched some walkthroughs with players that knew every detail about the game and come back to it every now and then.
>>332458802
If you don't know why people disliked the game, then how can you judge them?
>Crysis multiplayer is dead
Shit was actually really fun.
>>332458796
Yeah because there arent 20 billlion ps4 fanboy threads per day. Its more fustration that we have machines capable of so much more not having potential realised because console users wont boycott thier company of choice into steping up their game. The ps4 should never have had to have a .5 upgrade just for 4k netflicks and 60fps 1080p and microsoft and nintendo should have aborted their abominations. But ficktards just HAD to go buy them.
Anyone else remember the original Crysis multiplayer?
Shit was amazing.

>>332458802
I liked the aliens
I liked how everything went tits up when they showed up and the game shifted from "Be predator" to "Oh shit get the fuck out of there".
>>332456548
The game really opens up when you ditch the shitty energy management system. Just load up an autoexec with infinte energy console commands.

You are a literal mong. Everyone is now dumber for having read that shit that you posted.
Lurk forever.
>>332461063
Most of that is going to advertising.
Actually making the game is done on a shoe string budget.
>>332461162
Yeah, your comment contributed to this thread a lot. Also don't lie, it's not physically possible to get dumber for you, potato-man shit poster
>>332454397
Metroid Prime did similar shit. Im sure other games have as well. Your shitty FPS is not as unique as you make it out to be.
>>332460816
>I liked how everything went tits up when they showed up and the game shifted from "Be predator" to "Oh shit get the fuck out of there".
Thing is because of that you had no liberty. No strategical liberty, it was just shoot and throw grenades. Really is an annoying part as i'm playing right now, hope this is going to end soon because that reminds me of Crysis 2 & 3 and i absolutely hated those type of parts in those games
>>332457147
>a bullet makes a simple dent in a leather couch

>>332461527
Keep crying.
How should a games budget be organised?
>>332457248
also because 99.9% of pc gamers dont have the hardware to run it at that level
>>332461527
No, Metroid Prime didn't achieve this level of detail. Which is perfectly understandable because it was on Gamecube and Nintendo's goal sure as hell wasn't to make the prettiest FPS in the world at the time.
>>332461045
They wouldn't be needed if people made the right purchasing decisions. And since they won't, a purge that forces them to make said proper decisions is likely required.
>>332461045
In America and Japan, yes. PC gaming is, however, highly profitable in Europe, South America and outside Asian countries.
>>332457147
What other examples might you have? This could convince me to get it. I was under the impression the immersion and atmosphere were kinda gone from the game.
>>332461624
Entry holes for bullets are just the size of the bullet, unless it has rotated in flight and just tears its way through.
>tfw still can't play Crysis with max AA
I'll wait a bit more i guess
>>332455962
The funny thing is I fully agree with this post, I really don't get TECHNOLOGY fags who would rather have devs working to put in bullshit effects that either get shoved down your throat or go only noticed by autistic faggots when they basically happen when you don't actually play the game
I would rather have devs focus on games being fun, this is why I can't stand people who can say that GTA IV is somehow better than V because of stupid TECHNOLOGY shit
>>332466878
>this is why I can't stand people who can say that GTA IV is somehow better than V because of stupid TECHNOLOGY shit
GTA V had more TECHNOLOGY anon. Sure, GTA V removed a few TECHNOLOGY that were present in IV, but they added a lot more.
>>332458961
>And where did that get crytek? Almost drove them n the ground
What drove them to the ground is two mediocre & expensive to make sequels. Crysis 1 was financially a net profit, even though they said the release sale were a bit disappointing compared to their prevision (something around 1.2 millions copies while their were aiming at at least 2 millions considering the hype)
>>332457147
damnit there is a webm of how if you are taking cover behind something and the enemy is shooting it, it will create bullet holes through the object but i cannot find it
i am really liking it though
>>332466878
this
gtaiv is a steaming turd of nofuniness but STILL people are retarded enough to feel a nostalgic vibe for this boring pile of crap just for the sake of hating gtaV.
I would rather play san andreas, or vice city.
>>332457147
What's so impressive about some bullet holes? Even fucking Quake had those
>>332458961
>And where did that get crytek? Almost drove them n the ground.
making shitty linear fps dudebro shooter for console is the only reason for the fall of crykek.
>>332466878
GTA V:
>leaves (of trees) get in the way of your Helicopter's blade, making it rotate and go unstable whereas GTA IV allows the blade to clip through it like there's nothing
>When you jump in water, your character will dive (seriously that shit is fucking annoying)
>Character stops when running toward a wall
>When you try to climb a car hood from the side, it will slide on it. But you have to get it right or else you'll just climb it and will end up losing time whereas in IV you were just used to go around the car
>lens distortion when aiming with sniper
GTA IV had it's share of annoying technologies too but they weren't that much present
>>332467831
>gtaiv is a steaming turd of nofuniness but STILL people are retarded enough to feel a nostalgic vibe for this boring pile of crap just for the sake of hating gtaV.
Are you saying the hundred of hours i have spent playing GTA IV when V wasn't even announced was just me pretending to like it? The multiplayer was awesome man. Thinking i'm just pretending because you didn't enjoy the game is just retarded.
>>332466878
Except GTAV is absolute shit all on its own because the devs spent all their time adding in a bunch of minigame type shit instead of making the core gameplay good.
>>332468097
>>gtaiv is a steaming turd of nofuniness but STILL people are retarded enough to feel a nostalgic vibe for this boring pile of crap just for the sake of hating gtaV.

I'm talking about the solo, of course the multiplayer of gtav is a fucking disgrace. I just wanted to play with a friend and was rejected because of my level/money. It's just a brainless grind simulator.
>>332464209
There is no immersion. You get a little bit of story at the beginning and a little bit of story at the end. The plot is incredibly obvious and the gameplay boils down to, "Can I kill these guys? No. Find the exact same weapon with higher numbers.".
Goddamn, I'm just building a new rig for fucking Devision somebody stop me.

>>332464209
The atmosphere is the best thing the game has going for it at the moment.
New York looks amazing, the weather effects are incredible, and all the little technology moments really add up.
