Rygel's Crysis Texture Mods Are Incredible

As some of you may know, I bought the Crysis Maximum edition a couple of months ago, and was shocked that the graphics didn't blow me away: my chief complaint was with the textures - I thought that they were substandard, to the point where they destroyed the visuals of the game.

This weekend, just for the hell of it, I installed Rygel's massive texture mods (they're 2 gigabytes each), and I'm here to say, for whatever it's worth, that these mods have made all the difference. I think that if you've said something bad about a game, that you should be man enough to withdraw your statements publicly if you've had a change of heart.

There's no doubt about it now - with Rygel's texture mods in place, Crysis, and Crysis Warhead, are the two best looking games on my shelf. I'd have to give the slight advantage to Warhead however, because in my opinion it just looks a little bit more modern than its older brother.

So there it is - Rygel's texutre mods. Get em if you haven't gotten em already.

Thank you.

They do look astonishing, but when i installed them my graphics card wanted to kill itself.NauthiX

With or without the mods, the games are still the best looking games on your shelf.KHAndAnime

I just looked it up and cant find a direct link. sounds interesting, I even saw videos on youtube about it just now. I didnt ever think of installing texture mods for this game lol but if you can provide a link, I will download it asap.

yeah, but im pretty sure my GPU will commit suicide if i try them. maybe in the nvidia 300 series i might try them.

Oblivion rly? well i havent put any mods on it so ill take your word for it. How much more optomized is the engine in fallout 3 compared to Oblivion?

[QUOTE="-GeordiLaForge-"]Yeah, I still get framerate issues when I mod Oblivion to the max. It's mainly the draw distance ini tweaks, and the fact that I use so many mods. Fallout 3 is definitely optimized MUCH better, because I don't have any problems maxing it out with mods and ini tweaks. But I'll try texture mods for Crysis eventually. I've just been in the mood for first person RPG's lately...-GeordiLaForge-

[QUOTE="-GeordiLaForge-"]In Fallout 3, I double the fully loaded grid count (even though the grids are larger), I've installed just about every texture mod out there, I've installed various gameplay mods, I've increased the view distance in the ini file as much as possible, and the game still runs smooth as butter. No framerate issues whatsoever. But with Oblivion, doubling the fully loaded grid count, installing 20 or so mods, and manually taking every view distance well beyond max causes framerate issues sometimes...-GeordiLaForge-

WOW....i guess thats a pretty big difference.:P

lol i was just looking at that a miniute ago. I was like i should try that, but i cant now cause im going to the grand canyon tommorow, and wont be back till Thursday. i bookmarked the page though =D

[QUOTE="-GeordiLaForge-"]It's definitely worth it though ;) Check out the thread that I made a few minutes ago. The graphics jump is like comparing Doom to Halo. Too bad nobody plays Oblivion anymore =/-GeordiLaForge-

hahaha. It shall get bumped trust me. maybe it will even get stickied. its one of the most proffesional reccomendation threads ive seen yet. most have random links and text blasted all over the place.

So should I pair Rygel's with Natural Mod and a TOD? RIght now I'm usnig CCC 2.21 level 5 but I have a feeling that could blow more mind and level 6 is out of my league.

If graphics cards had souls, said souls would be screaming with the horror of a thousand hellfires. You would hear a continous, mind-shattering scream emanating from your motherboard until it puts itself out of its own misery.

Short answer: My computer sucks balls.

POST SOME SCREEN SHOTS NOOW plz ;)

I don't understand?

Are you saying that Rygel's texture mods... what?... don't improve Crysis?

The texture mods improve the game immeasurably. That these mods needed to be created in the first place is a sign that the vanilla version is lacking. I saw that straight away. Rygel's mods are a massive improvement over the original textures. Just one look at the shipyard area - this is the part of the game where you have to destroy the AA guns, and the destroyer - tells me that the original textures were just downright awful. It's almost like night and day the difference.

I mean, seriously, you'd have to be blind not to see that Rygel's texture pack improves the game.
