Ok, serious rant coming up. Well, let's first start off with, the game is a jewel, it has a brilliant look to it. In fact it looks so awesome you literally want to jump right into it and be part of the world. But that's about it, about anything positive I'm able to say about this game. The game, again, feels like made by people with the same attitude as the common German Gangsta Rappa. A person with almost no understaning of art, an exaggerated masculin and homophobic attitude. An unconditional will of entertaining other people, despite being a mediocre artists at best, and boasting his possessions to the whole world, in form of the newest excessively pimped BMW, because he emerged from a conceited thug life of modern German Hartz 4 background...puhhh, sounds weird...yeah, I know, but that's exactly how the game feels and how I imagine the developers attitude. I'm very sorry for any inconvenience and if the family is upset about it. It's done in purpose and made in tradition of provocation in order to create change.

First and foremost, the completely exaggerated masculin attitude and feeling you get from this game trilogy, is absolutely unbearable. The game feels like a 16 year old semi-strong kid, with balls as large as the whole planet developed it. One word of advice here...get a girl, you need to vent something. Heros like that do not exist in the real world, or in good movies. They only exist in a underdeveloped mind of a 16 year old boy. The game felt and sounded like you were playing Rambo (the third part, not the first good one). Shouldn't you think that when people reach a certain age and state of their life, there should be a change of attitude? Well guess what, the change is already there, but Crysis 3 obviously proofes, that when trying to enforce the conclusion of a trilogy, and your attitude and body has changed to one of an advlt man, the game can't be the same as before. And this is exactly the result we're getting. The game was so boring and repetetive, it felt like even the developers couldn't stand the series anylonger. It literally felt like they already gave up on the whole story, because there's nothing left to improve.

Third part of the rant is about game length. 7 hours gameplay for 60€? Now listen again...7 hours of gameplay for 60€! Half Life 1+2 gave me 30+ hours for 25€. Dead Space 1, 2 and 3 gave me 20+ hours of gameplay for 25-50€. Call of Duty and Battlefield series gave me ~10 hours for 50€ (which was a disgrace already, but still longer then Crysis 3 plus they both had an awesome, stable and ground breaking multiplayer part), I got 150~ hours from Mass Effect for 50€, and got never ending gameplay from Skyrim or S.T.A.L.K.E.R for 60€...NEVERENDING, NEVER BORING!!!. You really want to compare Crysis to games like this and still boast it as one of the best games ever? I'm speaking the unembellished truth here...~7 hours of boring and repetetive gameplay is a outrageous disgrace, and should be notified as the greatest scam to PC players ever. Who cares about all the blink, blink??" Who cares about all the decessive shine of a juwel, if you can't afford anything from it? If I want graphical immersion and photo realism, I take a look outside the window. You can't top that. But a game, just as music or a movie, is supposed to entertain me over good periods of time. Crysis achieved nothing of that. Crysis 1 looked brilliant but was tedious to play, Crysis 2 looked even more brilliant, has the gameplay polished, but with ~10 hours of gameplay still felt much to underutilized and underpacked. Cause let's face it, FPS is a FPS is a FPS is a FPS, nothing you can do to change that, except going innovative ways in gameplay.

Fourth part: Predator mode? So you've already stolen the idea of cloak in part 1, the idea of thermal vision in part 2, and finally the idea of silent warfare (actually from the movie Rambo, not Predator) in part 3. Why did you just not developed a new Predator and/or Rambo title? I really enjoyed thoose games back in 1999 and 1994. Apart from that, what exactly created the decision to make the player even more of an uber characterthen you were before? Do you know how long I spend Crysis 3 uncloaked and using a bow? Being forced to collect the arrows doesn't prevent anyone from using this completely outbalancing weapon configuration, specially if the player is such an old and patient old fart as me. So boredome and repetition was paired with no challenge...I'm serious, trying to hit the center of the toilet when I'm drunken is more of a challenge, then Crysis 3 was.

So you maybe think "damn, what a negative creep, he has nothing good to say about our favourit product" (well probably only the fangirls react like that(yes, you're named fangirls in purpose, psychological thing, very hard to understand for the common wannabe pimp, but just as Rambo, if you strain your mind a little...oups, I forgot...it will probably just explode. Muscles over mind, or matter over spirit as you might say... )). But if you really, really take the time to play other games and compare it how much, and specially how long, you had fun with thoose games, what is Crysis (and Crysis 3 in special) series compared to that? It's about to let go Crytek. Set sails for new shores, and please DO NOT MAKE A CRYSIS 4. You have a trumendous potential at your hand, get a decent and creative mind in your team, and someone who's capable of writing good stories. Lay down the Rambo Hero attitude. This theme has been cannibalized way enough. Maybe create a continuation with a usual guy, who just tries to survive in a world overrun by aliens? I'm not 16, I don't need to feel like a hero, but I really enjoy the tension you get from just trying to survive in unpleasent enviroment, and I bet other do too...

I stopped reading at "do not exist in the real world".


And somehow I believe I should have stopped sooner.

You say "...heroes like that do not exist in the real world..." but they do. They exist by the many hundreds. I served with a few in the USMC who gave their all for their country. Who all but gave up their humanity and sense of conscience for the greater good. Who can't sleep nights peacefully anymore. Who would still lay down what precious little they had left, if it was called for.

The fact that you can't believe that such people exist just goes to show how ignorant you are or, worse, how jaded.

I loved the SP. Inspite of the bugs. I'll love it more when the bugs are worked out. I'm sorry you don't.

I like MP. There are some things I'd like to see changed, but I mostly like it. I'm sorry you don't.

You sound like a female who's angry she's not being catered to specifically. But no one owes you a damned thing; not us, not the Marines, not Germany, not Game Devs in general and certainly not Crytek. The strength that is talked about and shown in the SP is about strength of character, not muscle. It's about the redemption of a man who thought there was none left for him. It's about what we are willing to sacrifice to keep the world we love safe. It's about friendship and loss; comrades and the wars they fought. It's really a shame you're so blind you didn't see that.

Enjoy stewing in all of that hate and rage you've built up over a video game. May it serve you well.

Don't know just to ignore or laugh or post a serious reply. However third would be a waste of time. Why don't you play RPGs? they try to imitate real life. Or better, play real life itself, it's "the real life" afterall. But there is another problem; which real life? And stolen ideas? From where did your "original" games stole them? Silent warfare is there for centuries, both as an idea and in practice.

Double post...
