Well, it'd get a lot less attention that's for sure. However it'd still be a great game, easily one of the better FPS experiences of last year even without the graphics.

STALKER and The Darkness are better though.

Yes, because it remains as one of the best FPS in the last few years. Those who have never played it will never understand sadly, and keep labeling it as just another pretty looking game.

Simply put, Crysis is made by the same developer of th PC version of Far Cry. Considering I loved all of Far Cry's outdoor levels, I'd have to consider getting Crysis...Whenever I finally get around to building a new PC. >.>

The story is worthless. The online is decent, but there are so many better games, that there's no reason to spend any time on it.

And if we ignore the graphics, what are we left with?

The gameplay. This is where Crysis shines. Crysis has the best gunplay I've ever seen, and the firefights are unpredictable and almost always a blast. This is a pretty bold claim, but in my opinion, Crysis has the best gameplay in any FPS ever.

Granted, Crysis wouldn't receive half the attention that it does if it wasn't for the graphics, but even without them, it's a fine game.

Being a person who plays it at a setting that makes it look like a nice looking xbox (1) title on medium, I'd say that it's a decent shooter. I'd give it a 8. This is coming from someone who thought farcry (pc) was a pos

I don't care about it with the shiny graphics (I can run it on max) so no I still wouldn't care if it had average graphics.

Well one of the big reasons why HL2 and Doom 3 got so much attention were its graphics and how they took it to the next level. Graphics play a big role in games, whether the game is fun or not. You play with your eyes first.

to be honest not really. crysis is an example of a game where graphics really do make the game better. i know most people like to say gameplay>graphics but until you've experienced crysis at max details in surround sound, sneaking up on enemies in a beautiful jungle, throwing them in the air with buildings exploding around you, you have no idea.

People have their opinions. For every superhit game there will always be some people who won't like it. Same goes for crysis.

In my opinion, excellent graphics just added more to the immersion of the game. Big open ended environments, good AI (most of the times), game play elements particularly the nano suit options that completely change the way you play thus adding to the re-playabilit, good story line are all the strong points of the game.Some times crysis gameplay just feels like you are into some full action movie. Crysis is one of the very few games that I wanted to play again when I finished it.

I would still be an awesome game, its no the graphics that have given it great scores but the fact it is one of the best fps to date, warhead has some of the best action of any shooter ever. aside from the graphics the things that make crysis great is the nano suit, customizable weapons, amazing physics and most of all the huge levels, none of which force you down a narrow corridor as well as having a very different setting from most other shooters

Simply put it was the best FPS last year and probably the best i've played since ... since ... I dunno, it's really good fun.

The graphics add to the gameplay so it is hard to say what it would be like without them. It is not just about the pretties it actually adds depth to the game.

Crysis is a fantastic shooter that will forever be remembered for its graphics, which is really a crime. Its gameplay deserves attention aswell. Its a damn fine FPS.

I also heard it was very easy to mod and had an awesome map editor. Other than that, no. :P EDIT: Maybe it's just because there aren't that many players but I never see or hear much about it. Dispite trying to be a big supporter in the modding world I have never seen that many mods for it. And people talk Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Counter-Strike multilayer over Crysis's. I guess Crysis is just victim of it's own graphical success. :P

Despite what some people may like to think; Crysis was not graphics over game play.

It may have not been to everyones tastes but it is widely considered a good game.

To put it simply, yes. Crysis is a very solid game. One of the most, if not the most non-linear FPS game out there. There's no invisible walls stopping you from taking your own approach to each and every situation. The possibilities are endless with boats, trucks, humv's, tanks, rockets, turrets, plenty of guns, explosives and good old stealth at your disposal.

Crysis is an amazing game all around, the fact that it looks so amazing just adds even more. It's like HD Farcry on steroids.

Yes, but it would get less attention. The gameplay is solid, just not super spectacular. I kinda wish they worked less on the graphics and more on the gameplay, but not by much. If that makes any sense.

IMMERSION

The graphics play a huge role in the overall immersion of the game. Hiding in some moonlit woodland in the middle of the night, hiding while a patrol passes by towards the mayhem you have just created or sneaking up and snatching a n.korean soldeir taking a whiz lol.

Sure, if crysis didnt have such surperior graphics it wouldn't be so good, but then again lets not under estimate what the graphics do bring...huge immersion into the game world, combined with freedom and very realistic physics.

Trust me, those factors combine to create a very immersive and believable game world.

Not sure if your point proves anything though.

are you fkin kidding me ? srry this isnt anything personal.Your post was second so yea i looked at it and replying to it.Crysis was one of the most dumb and slow FPS ever.Seriously tell me what other than good physics,ai,graphics,scenaries...etc...etc...did it have which could take it to the top ? let me guess NOTHING...aliens destroying the planet earth....been there.....islands with palm trees.....been there.....Crysis was just toooooo good ONLY because of its graphics,ai,physics,dynamic stuff which all in the end are generally GRAPHICS.So it wouldnt be anything except that.

It certainly wouldn't be getting as much attention on System Wars if it wasn't for the fact that it is the absolute graphics king of every platform, but I still would've enjoyed it. I liked the environment interaction, physics, firefights, and cheesy B-Movie story more than the graphics (although they are epic).

It's an amazing game on highest settings and it's an amazing game on lowest settings, so yes.
