Why is Single Player practically Barney style?

This is a joke right??
Just breezed through the game on Post-Human in a little over 4hrs and basically what a complete and utter joke.

What's with the hand holding of GO THIS WAY FOR STEALTH or HERE IS A TURRET YOU CAN MOW DOWN THE MINDLESS HORDES OF AI. Speaking of the AI they're like autistic and omnipotent at the same time. Run around the corner crouch and turn off cloak half the damn ai in the vicinity go on the alert. Run through a whole way butchering people one by one and they're none the wiser. It's a complete 180 from Crysis one where there might have been a few flaws here and there but the AI was deadly and very efficient. Here it just feels like Call of Duty without the nonstop respawns till you reach point X.

Also did the Nanosuit2 make you some kind of omnipotent god who can see enemies through walls and tell you the serial number on some random weapon 50yds a way through a concrete wall? You're basically the Predator except with none of the fun eviscerating or spine ripping out. In fact it's just outright boring to play most time. There's no cat and mouse factor with the AI or dodging patrols. And even if you do get into a firefight Armor mode lets you stand in enemy fire for a huge amount of time while you drop them with impunity.

There's hardly any exploration/alternative routes you can take and if there are there's a giant yellow octagon in the middle of your visor saying GO HERE IDIOT

I'd have some comments about multiplayer but apparently this log in is invalid. So thanks Crytek for taking my 60$ and giving me a 4hr corridor shooter that's a mediocre console port.

I have enough challenge on the lowest difficulty. Hell, sometimes the things it recommends don't even work. Such as stealth. Did I mention the part where the AI detects you automatically if you decloak somewhere near a breakable object? Freaking thought police everywhere. I dodge patrols all the time. I guess you and your aimbot just can't be challenged.

I breezed through it on veteran, only reason it took me longer is because I tried to do some of the crazy parkour stuff I did in crysis 1 since I love being mobile, but turns out crysis 2 doesn't like that. I can't describe it, but something about the movement and the new nanosuit just made me feel so slow and clumsy and I would constantly die and need to respawn, which really made me hate that they got rid of quicksave. So I ended up being forced to play stealthy and boring because thats the only way I could make any progress. In crysis 1, the AI was even better but the nanosuit was much faster and more responsive and intuitive so I could do crazy stunts and still survive. Quicksave also took the pressure off and allowed me to experiment and have fun without being afraid of having to restart the level.

Now, I'm not going to say I've beaten it in 4 hours, but when my melee attacks weren't broken, Post-Human was a breeze. The Ceph are pathetic; they don't notice that I've knifed half their squad; a second of spray and a couple melee hits drops 'em if they do notice. The humans are every bit as bad, without the super powers to make up for it.

The humans shout about recognizing that I went stealth and that they should stay alert, but they never seem to remember it. Five seconds of being invisible and they forget all about you.

What the hell? How is that even possible? You hacked or something. I'm 4 hours into the game in Veteran and have only reached Semper Fi or Die. I haven't died a single time.

i just run and gunned. i will be doing it again stealthy this time though. notice how i also didn't care about getting the special items :)

I always beat my games on the hardest setting and run and gun it. and i NEVER use cheats, that totally destroys the fun of the game. I AM AN FPS MASTER!!!

Lol it took me over 8 hours to finish the game on Veteran. I didn't want to be fast though, took my time planning, exploring, trying not to take damage, making sure every enemy is dead. Replaying sections also. Gonna play on Superhuman once DX11 comes and some of the bugs are fixed.

The game is short... very short... even with watching every video every comment, and hear the dude on it just takes 6h...

Image

I even searched for a few accolades here and there.. sub 5h is very doable on post human if you skip videos, dont bother with the radio etc.

Image

mfw when people complain that the first crysis was short with 10-12h gametime...
