Which crysis is better

Previous Next. Jun 2, 6, 29 Mar 6, 56 0 I would say crysis 1. I've played and beat all of them except for crysis warhead. Jul 31, 1, 18 They are all equally uninspired IMO. Fenixgoon Lifer. Jun 30, 28, 4, Having played 1 and 2, 1 was the better game by far. Waiting to get 3 in my hands which should be soon. Stringjam Golden Member. Jun 30, 1, 33 Crysis was really good, as well as Warhead though felt more like an expansion , not to mention how much fun I had playing Crysis Wars. The next two, IMO, are barely worth playing.

I couldn't even finish Crysis 3, it was just hideously boring to me. Amazing graphically, but "uninspired' is definitely the word for it. It's time for Crytek to scrap this series and start something new. Last edited: Sep 1, Jaydip Diamond Member. Mar 29, 3, 21 The first one. BrightCandle Diamond Member. Mar 15, 4, 0 I enjoyed 3 more than the other 2. Crysis 1 didn't have great combat mechanics, I found the guns to have some inaccuracy at relatively moderate range.

The open world wasn't really all that open although I did feel you had more options in how you attacked but less information about the how. Crysis 2 looked bad and Crysis 3 opened up the options a bit more as well as gaming the combat work a bit better. The aliens were still rubbish to fight compared to the humans but of the 3 I prefer the third.

But I don't think any of them count as a good FPS, good looking but not particularly good games. Dec 12, 26, TheSlamma Diamond Member. Sep 6, 7, 4 Zenoth Diamond Member. Jan 29, 5, I've always really liked Crysis 1, and Warhead was excellent, even better to some extent and in some places than the original. I've also always liked the zero gravity alien level, I thought it was very well executed and the first time I played it the sense of disorientation was near perfect and the environment was very much alien.

I know a lot of gamers out there even those whom happen to appreciate Crysis 1 overall actually despise that specific level anyway, but I never did and always thought it was great. I've only recently bought Crysis 2 via the EA Humble Bundle with Dead Space, Red Alert 3, etc and even though I've played it before with my cousin on his it was only two short sessions when he happened to rent it , so I can't judge the sequel too much for now but I've read a lot about it and I do expect a corridor-style shooter.

As for Crysis 3 it seems at first glance that CryTek attempted to bring us back to the "roots" jungle, overgrowth on ruins, high grass, more open-world, etc, visually more "Crysis 1-style" so perhaps I'll enjoy that one more than the sequel, time will tell, but I don't own it for now.

I do plan to buy it eventually, however. In my humble opinion Crysis isn't a bad FPS franchise at all, there's definitely worse, and I think that only the sequel's first impressions by many perhaps before they released the HD textures perhaps contributed to "reduce" its weight and quality for the genre. Just a guess, maybe it has nothing to do with that, but the "consolization" of the sequel was practically a headline when the game was freshly released, not to say a controversy since the original set new visual standards, so why would the sequel be a "step back" I do remember heated debates related to that.

Ultimately I'm pretty sure that all games in the series so far including Warhead of course have their good moments. Sulaco Diamond Member. Mar 28, 3, 6 Warhead, probably. It had the best experience. I still despise the gimmicky suit shit. CloakSneak a little waysFind cover--Uncloak--Wait for energy to restorerinse and repeat. As in the original, weaponry and abilities can be customized.

The game is plagued with some horrible gameplay mechanics and noticeable lag time in its online mode. The graphics are gorgeous and the games aesthetic appeal is simply breathtaking to behold, as one would expect from a game that places such a high demand on computer specifications. The gameplay is subpar and falls short of most of its competitors in the genre with very few weapons to choose from. Turning invisible and going about unseen by the enemy quickly becomes old and there is no break from the repetitive nature the game demands of the player.

The first game in the franchise to have a Hungarian developer, Crytek Budapest, Crysis Warhead follows the adventures of the protagonist with a storyline that runs parallel to the original Crysis.

There are new customizable weapons and vehicles on offer like the dual wielded Mini-SMGs and the destructive Plasma Accumulator Cannon. With 21 playable maps available upon release, the game features multiplayer modes, in addition to the Instant Action and Power Struggle modes from the original. The developer even hosted a trial weekend, where Crysis Wars , that came bundled with Crysis Warhead , was available for gamers to download and play for free.

The game makes use of an enhanced version of the CryEngine 2, which upped the visual appeal. The game is also too short relying on a cinematic appeal that takes away from the actual gameplay.

Crysis games have been praised for their graphics, and that heritage has certainly carried over here, but at the cost of gameplay. It does next to nothing to push the franchise to the next level and when one adds in the draconian DRM situation, it makes one wonder whether the developers considered their fans in the first place. The final instalment in the Crysis trilogy introduces a revenge plot where Nanosuit wearing Prophet is out to murder Alpha Ceph, leader of the alien race bent on decimating the entire human race.

And ultimately, at the end of a week of analysis work requiring three Digital Foundry team members, the news is good. While not quite as exalted as the original game, Crysis 2 and its sequel did push back boundaries in gaming technology and while graphically demanding at the highest level, the remasters ensure that these titles will continue to scale with the PC hardware of the future.

And as for the consoles, what users get are very attractive games with solid performance that serve to showcase that while very different from the first game, there's still some solid single-player campaign action to enjoy here.

Regarding the future of the trilogy, we think that a 'final flourish' that Crytek might consider is releasing the sandbox editor for all of the PC remasters, just as it did back in the day for Crysis 1 and its sequel. What we have today is welcome, but making mods a more accessible would be the icing on the cake, opening the door to new Crysis content in the years to come.
