Hello guys, I'm generally new tot he world in of FPS's and console shooters. I have only played Killzone2 and MW2 until now, because I am INCREDIBLY picky about what games I play.
So, I preorded killzone 3 and brink, and got in on the KZ3 beta. And it svcks. Its a total twitch shooter, and a complete downgrade to KZ2 in terms of game play and uniqueness. My opinion, not really looking to debate this here though.
So, I need a new console shooter to keep me preoccupied until brink. And I was checking out this game on IGN, and it blew me away. I had always thought crysis was about secret agents and ninja's (had it confused with the arcade game I used to play in the movie theater for 50 cents). XD The story line and armour customization looks beast. However, everyone I've asked has said the game svcked on all levels and was boring. When asked for a reason they really couldn't give one.
So, as a new player, I was wondering if this game would appeal to me, you know, at all?
I like team based game play, that does not encourage spawn camping or crouching by the stairs to earn free kills cause you're invisible. I like working with others to complete objectives and earning points without the flashy "carrier incoming!" gimmicks. Don't get me wrong, ducking out of the way to avoid grenades and following up with a well placed RPG shot is fine and all. but I'm not a fan of bots that score auto kills or anything. I also like FPS's where players have allot of health. If I'm gunning someone down from the back, they should be able to turn around and have a chance to kill me first, or at least maim me enough for a medic to finish me and heal him. I also like a nice recoil/bullet spread to my weapons and as little aim assist as possible.
So, according to that, will I enjoy this game?
Well this game does offer alot of oppurtunities of tactics and team play however this is the type of game were you have a learning curve and you have to sit down and give the game time to learn about all the features and when to use them and when not to use them, e.g dodging a rocket by sliding. You also have to micro manage your energy levels in game aswell so its pretty intensive when you get into it.
I wouldnt recommend anything IGN says about the game or any reviewer for that matter because 90% of them are NOT gamers and are just journalists looking for their big break.
Some people wouldnt rate the beta version or "demo" that was released on xbox live but I wouldnt rate the finished product based on that. The game allows you to have multiple play styles, like for example when I was playing with random people I would play lone wolf but once my friends got on we would use team tactics like all of us sending our holograms into and objective and totally confusing the enemy etc.
however even if you are going to use team tactics you still need individual skill and knowledge of the game mechanics to work effectively in a team.
ALOT of people have jumped on this game with the pretence that its some kind of halo/COD hybrid which is just not the case at all. The movement such as the parkour way in which you tranverse your suroundings is by itself and inovation in shooters. you customise your suit to your liking and fit your play style.....e.g im an aggressive type player so il mainly be looking at armour abilites and speed abilites etc.
If your still unsure id just rent the game and get a group of friends together and play it and keep in mind you wont be good straight away, you have to learn but hey! idk you could be a fast learner like me
