Crysis 2 isn't for me, so why play a game if you're not going to like it?

User Rating: 5 | Crysis 2 PS3
I've never played first Crysis & it's on PC. Therefore, I can't comment on it at all. But, I did rent Crysis 2 for PS3 so I can give you gamers my opinion on it. Does it stand out from other shooters? Is it the best shooter in 2011? Is it a Call Of Duty/Halo killer? Or is it just another First Person Shooter with no fresh ideas & gimmick materials that developers give the players to abuse over online? Remember gamers, this is my opinion. It ain't my fault that mainstream gamers can't handle an opinion. I want you guys to stick around & find out:

Pros:

Ability to have a choice between going rambo or be Sam Fisher in the Nano-Suit.

Sounds of the game is second to none

18 chapters in that game, took me 9 hours & 24 minutes to complete it. I love that it's really long, most shooters would be like 7 hours or less.

You can "customize" the Nano-suit between armor, stealth & power after killing the Ceph (let alone collecting samples of them after killing them)

Instant Action aka Free For All is fun when players who don't abuse the Nano-suit

There are six game modes, but....

Cons


Storyline was really perplexing to the point of didn't make any sense.

Best looking graphics on console ever?! Are you gamers for real? Shoot, Shadow Of The Colossus looks 10 million times better Crysis 2

Customizing Nanosuit 2.0 will get boring after a while

Online multiplayer mode is really horrible for developers adding extra materials that players will abuse to the point of making others quit & don't want to play as much, trying too hard to be a COD/Halo killer, hit detection is so bad that it makes COD Black Ops look like a winner & how you get killed by watching the kill-cam doesn't make any sense at all.

Alot of bugs & glitches in the game

Spawn system is so bad that you'll get killed within 5 seconds into the match by a grenade launcher or I'll spawn right next to an enemy.

No dedicated servers, just peer 2 peer & that's just a real shame.

If you want to play barebones game mode, you'll have to keep playing until reaching level 29 for it. Why play a mode that should have been in with other game modes in the first place?


I know hardcore so-called Crysis 2 fans/mainstream gamers will rip this review in half, but please hear me out. Anytime you've a game that has hype, expectations & doesn't deliver because of flaws, you're going to get Crysis 2. What's worse is that Homefront has dedicated servers! So, what's Crysis 2 excuse? Four years of development & still turned out to be a mediocre game, really? To add more insult of this "excellent" game, Crysis 2 has more bugs than a run down Holiday Inn hotel! It feels nothing more than a Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare/Halo Reach ripoff. I'm tired of video games being rushed out the door just to make a quick buck & developers don't take the time to iron out some things that might be a problem down the road. I'm also tired of gamers arguing other gamers this or that game takes "skill". Today's shooters don't take any skills for developers add too much junk (in short translation, more doesn't mean better sometimes) in the game for players to abuse them. I'm happy I didn't waste $60 dollars on this game & rent it is the best option. Crysis 2 isn't for me at all & forcing myself to play it will add more frustration.
