Looks like Crysis 3 got 7.5'd (confirmed)

Did anybody really expect anything amazing out of Crysis 3? I was only looking forward to the graphics, and...that's pretty much it.

I don't understand how this thread turned into a bunch of console fanboys claiming this as some kind of ownage against the PC. Even if the score is correct (and I wouldn't be shocked), it's a multiplat game. You think the console versions are going to be scored higher?

the_bi99man

What a deranged fanboy you would have to be to actually claim ownage over a mear multiplat. Who ever did that needs to do it again so i can chuckle at his stupidity and obsessive jelousy. 

Fanboy consolites exist solely to entertain me wen i'm bored.

Couldn't agree more bra.

Been playing it and having a blast. Better than Crysis 2 and should score higher than C2.KodiakKoolaid

Yo, remember when Crytek developed excellent games?

Me neither.

LOL

I always wonder why people are surprised when Crytek spits out an "ok but not great" game.

EA review embargo untill when? it's release day lol 

Review is uup and 7.5 confirmed

The Bad

• Remarkably easy, all the way to the end   
• Lacks the standout battles of earlier games in the series   
• AI is easily exploited.

So by usual console standards the game is incredibly difficult with state of the art AI and the best boss fights this gen?

Not the Halo killer.

Sounds like the game is good aside from the fact it's too easy and too short. Glad to see Kevin not ignoring these two glaring flaws and giving it a high score because it's a beautiful game. 

I really hope more reviewers start to do this and remind game devs that not all gamers are extreme casuals who don't like a challenge.

7.5 isn't a terrible score, but it is definintly a disappointment. I'll pick up the game eventually.

Since going mutiplat the crysis franchise has gotten really, really dumbed down.

And still UC2 is 9.5, UC3 is 9 and GoW3 is 9. When practically all of those are just movies. And what about Gears and Halo 4?

Crysis 1 on Delta was difficult. Crysis 2 wasn't a cakewalk either, but it was easier than Crysis. 

I'll admit on normal neither game was super difficult, but they did provide some fun moments and would kill you from time to time when you made a mistake. They were also longer FPSs. Crysis 1 topping 12 hours with Crysis 2 hitting 10 despite a much faster pace.

It seems that Crysis 3 is just too short and way too easy without providing any of those "holy sh!t" moments you would expect from an AAA quality shooter.

So? Those games are completely different. They aren't so easy you can blow thought it without breaking a sweat, they are well crafted, they are exciting, they have really robust multiplayer, and they are just overall great games. Neither of them also had a "get out of danger free" button like Crysis 2 and 3 have.

I don't pirate games Mat, but thanks anyhow. I take it someone pissed in your cornflakes this morning?

Its not like crytek have a choice, having decided to aim there attentions toward consoles they have no choice but to make their games simplistic and easy.

i expect it will still be enjoyable, games dont have to be ball breakers to be fun. part of the fun of crysis is that you are a super soldier, capable of amazing things, if the games whaps you everytime you try something, the fun element goes too soon.sts106mat

Well that's true, but at the same time the game still needs to present you with a challenge. Being able to swat all of your enemies like flies and walk out unscathed doesn't give you a real feeling of accomplishment. 

While you're a supersolider, the game still needs to be challenging enough where mistakes punish you. Otherwise the overall sense of accomplishment is extremely low and you feel like you're just going through the motions.

This is how the last about 4 CoD games have been as well. There is no sense of accomplishment because you've fought through waves and waves of brainless enemies only to end the level with some QTE.

Will get this anyway, i don't care about the score with this, i liked the previous games. 5hrs sounds great if it is quality/fun time.

What Crytek game has ever not been pretty straight forward and pretty shallow? Even Far Cry wasn't that deep. The only thing that made that game difficult was the insane AI that could see you through the brush on the next island over.

It's like you choose to be ignorant.

Damn, really disappointed. Think i'll cancel my pre-order and buy it cheaper later.

Can't afford to waste £40 on a game that scores under an 8.0.

I'll wait until it comes down to around £20.

So their flaws can be over looked that they have very generic and a pretty much non-existent gameplay, but onrails segment after another scripted segment. And their multiplayer could easily be compared to that of C3, you can't say they have some really innovative or ground breaking multiplayer. How about GoW3 fixed camera or less than 60 fps gameplay with the same QTE heavy gameplay without any evolution? Or What about the mother of all easy games CoD?

Whatever only thing this proves is that Gamespot is very inconsistent in their reviewing mechanism, they don't judge the games based on the same standards.

I don't like to argue with mods regardless of how much bias they display nor how much they try to insult people safe in the knowledge of there mod status. It must be fun for you to insult and put down other users while having a shield.

I can understand why some people would want to be mods here.

That's your opinion about those game's gameplay, and it's a terrible one at that. They don't have the flaws that you percieve.

All we can go by is what you post I guess. But I will just post the review comments from this site I hope you may find it more difficult to dismiss users if they quote gamespot.

___________________

Crysis 3

Its attractive visuals make Crysis 3 a pleasure to look at, and the game is plenty of fun, though not up to the high standards of its forebears.

The Good

• Attractive visuals that present a unique mix of the natural and the industrial   
• Each weapon, including the new bow, is a pleasure to shoot   
• Open levels and nanosuit powers provide combat flexibility   
• Entertaining multiplayer modes.

The Bad

• Remarkably easy, all the way to the end   
• Lacks the standout battles of earlier games in the series   
• AI is easily exploited.

Consolised and casualised.

Pass.
