Crysis®

I'm late in the game and just played Crysis for the first time recently. I honestly don't see what the hype is all about. The mechanics are janky, the characters are cliche (especially Psycho), ammo is so scarce that I'm forced to cloak around the map instead of play this like a traditional FPS, and I just don't find the game very fun at all. Considering this game came out in 2007, I can think of several other FPS games around this time that were just far superior: Bioshock, Halo 3, Modern Warfare, Quake 4, F.E.A.R., Half-Life 2, just to name a few. Crysis tries to give you the opportunity to play this game "how you want", but it falls short in every area, from gunplay (ammo is way too scarce), to "power ups" (Bioshock did this way better), to stealth (I was cloaked and a helicopter just kept hovering and patrolling right above me the entire time).

Controller is my weapon of choice for gaming and poor controller support has stopped me from being able to play it. Tried a workaround by adding it into my steam library so that i could use the steam controller in place of keyboard & mouse but the WASD movement wasn't recognized by the game.

I'm not a hater to be a hater, I generally hate Crysis with a burning passion. I heard so much of this game before to a point were I was so excited, and let down is every way possible. This game is horrendously optimized. It doesn't now run good even on modern systems, with constantly FPS drops and stutters even not on the highest setting. It even crashed on me twice, like what a lord of crap that this game is 'optimized', stop listening to the lies. Everything about the gameplay is awful. The suit abilities are underpowered to the point where they aren't fun. Gun play is some of the worst, with a ton of recoil and bullet spongy enemies. Everything little thing can kill you, like using super speed can kill you if you run in something. The game is also glitchly, like I saw props bugging out, a gun shooting itself, multiple graphical glitches, the list can go on. And don't get me started on the last 'mission'. Without any spoilers, let me just say I had to grab a weapon that was needed later on. I forgot to grab it, so when that part came, I didn't have the weapon. So I went back to grab it, but found out that I couldn't go back. I had to load an earlier save just to get the weapon. That is the worst mission design I have ever seen. I've played some bad games, but this takes the cake. Crysis is a horrendous experience, and I can't believe people give this game 5 stars, it doesn't even deserve one.

Bad Far Cry clone with sh..t story, console graphics and game play, repetitive, boring ..., continue the sequence. Waste of money.

Does not work in Windows XP even though the actual disk version does. Thanks for downgrading the games again GoG.
