Crytek, Oh Crytek What Have You Done....???????????

Post » Fri Mar 15, 2013 8:41 am

I have played Crysis 2, I have now played Crysis 3.

Both games are full of bugs, problems, glitches whatever you want to call them.

Enough is enough.

Crysis - released November 2007 (Wikipedia)

Crysis 2 - released March 2011 (Wikipedia)

Crysis 3 - released February 2013 (Wikipedia)


Problems page (Xbox 360) for Crysis 2

Problems page (Xbox 360) for Crysis 3 (current)

So in effect Crytek have had 3 attempts at getting Crysis 3 right, over a six year period.

The game is still far from 'right' (Multiplayer)

Lag Issues
Host Migration Issues
Kill Cam
Sound Issues
Dog Tag Issues
Hit Detection Issues

I've probably missed a few as well.

I'm not going to go into the Single Player experience as I've not really played the SP sufficiently. I am aware though of people being unable to finish the game at the Alpha Ceph, and also Super Soldier Achievement not unlocking for Crysis 2, or Crysis 3.

As people who played Crysis 2 are aware, it was a complete and utter mess, absolutely full of problems (see the link posted near the top of the page - 104 pages long). You might be forgiving, but I certainly wasn't. I didn't purchase the DLC as I wasn't happy with the state of the game. A lot of people did buy the DLC though, and not long after that Crytek stated that they weren't going to continue supporting Crysis 2 (that's after accepting people money for the DLC).

Take yourself 2 years down the line now to February 2013, Crysis 3 is released.

The third installment in a promising idea of a game. Surely Crytek would get their third attempt at Crysis right??

Wrong.

6 years down the line from Crysis, 2 years down the line from Crysis 2 and the game feels like an unfinished, unpolished mess of a game. Crytek, how on earth can you STILL be experiencing issues that have been prevelant since Crysis 2???

Crysis 3 should have been a lot tighter in the way it handles, and the way it plays - it's not.

It is like Crysis 2.5 - The Expansion Pack.

I've had it, one of the most promising FPS games (on paper at least) has dragged itself back into the gutter. So much potential, executed in such a poor way.

Gaming numbers on the 3 platforms are struggling already, and a lot of people have abandoned a sinking ship.

I too have jumped overboard and traded my copy of Crysis 3 in, I don't believe Crytek will ever get it right, after 6 years and 3 attempts that is obvious by now.

So it's been fun (when it worked well) and I bid you all farewell.


P.S. - This account will now be deleted, gone, finito. All you blind fanboys can save your venom.

Keep believing this game will ever get to the standard it should have been at release if you like.

Au Revoir,

Snarf.

I like Crytek and Crysis series, but unfortunately I must agree with the author to certain issues. I am starting regretting the purchase Crysis 3 unfortunately. A lot of mistakes, game is crashing in single, in multi... It's ery embarrassing and I am surprised that these are a stable version rather than a beta!!! Before release C3 my expectations were greater than 100%... I watched a lot of trailers, 7 wonders... I liked an advertising campaign. I thought - it doesn't have a whip there will be the best FPS in the year, it is impossible that she is different better. Even I didn't think about the fact that the quality would be bad. In the end it crytek After all it's very sad. And sad, that last part of series Crysis is weak. No masterpiece ;( Too expensive game like to what he offers - a lot of bugs.

- the game is very unstable !!! (both in multiplayer and single-player)
- a lot of bugs (I can see in SP mainly)
- very poor optimization, as well with cost of requirements (C2 graphic = C3 graphic, but what was done with the optimization???)
- big lags in the multiplayer mode
- very short campaign and weak script (what it was up to to change since in crysis 2 it was so great story???)
- very weak intelligence of opponents (SI) - better than in C2, but still very bad (sometimes it happened for me that 3 enemies were hidden by oneself so I can easy kill they)
- artificial freedom in SP

Is it becoming overcast to some patches to game? And fix this ****** problems?

Well I don't know about you but I know of games that are more stable than their predecessors.
