I absolutely hate those heads, their eyes pierce my soul (in a bad way) and everybody and their dog uses them.

 

Tried this?

And now for something completely different:

Earthworm Jim, right?

Earthworm Jim 2, actually. I hope Shiny will make another EWJ game someday, the first two are among the best platformers ever made.

I have some vague memories of that game

More Oblivion:

Bag of Holding

 

Im going to add these to my list now!

I always hated going back and forth to my houses to unload my goods!

More Crysis 4 all

 

Im testing my new Graphic card out with Max Payne!

Any anisotropic filtering? The textures look very washed, I thought they were teh crispness for their time...

Yes there is anistropic filtering, I enabled it now. I used the Print screen option and then added it to Paintshop, that method always washes out the image unfortunately. It does look crisper then paintshop allows. Payne stands through the test of time i think.

 

Max Payne 2 looks great also, but the differences are just minor tweaks between the 2 games.

Thats a lot of foliage, whats your average FPS with your monster rig in heavy foliage places like that one?

Bokishi seems to be the only person out there who wasn't disappointed with Crysis.

That's because he can run it.

His rig is awesome! Its worth more then my car! Looka sexier too. By the way Bok I bumped my new graphic card up to 720 core up from 600Mhz and only 950 from 900. The ram is cheap Qimondo ram modules on my eVGA 8800GT. Cheapostuff.

I wasn't disappointed with Crysis. Though I didn't expect much more than an average FPS with good graphics so...

From what I saw of the demo, it offered better, deeper gameplay than your average FPS.

Crysis? Not really, unless your definition of average FPS equals a game solely consisitng of shooting stuff, if so then it surely is above average. It did have more stuff than what I would expect but not something that would pull it above average.

Your average, run of the mill, FPS involves shooting, and nothing else. HL, Doom, Serious Sam, Medal of Honor, UT, Painkiller, Prey, Quake, FEAR are all about the shooting.

 

From what I saw Crysis has stealth, an open ended world, melee, and poultry weaponry. Seemed above average to me.

"Poultry" ?!?

 

Are they throwing chickens at you?

1) Yes you can turn invisible for a couple of seconds but that doesn't make the game noticably better. Crysis have other cool powers as well, but they never elevate the gameplay.

2) An action game with an open world instead of a linear progression is just a different kind of FPS. Also Crysis have limited openness, it's like multiple levels of complete openness instead of an actual open world i.e. the openendedness always converge at some point, so it is just different ways of handling bases.

3)Shooting domesticated birds is exactly the same as shooting with bullets except they make funny sounds and aren't exactly lethal. Crysis doesn't have this though. Edit: OK I guess Crysis does have it then, but that doesn't elevate gampleay, it's just a gimmick.

 

It's a fun game but never gets better than that.

Crysis is not really open-ended. Far Cry felt much more open than Crysis ever did. For some reason all the levels in Crysis were shaped so you never could get lost, you almost never had two or more ways to choose from, and if you did it was always a secluded valley with, for example, three bases that needed to be destroyed..

 

The powers.. Well, they looked good on paper. In reality you could either sneak your way through the entire game (making it too easy) or just keep the shield on and play it as a normal FPS. The skills weren't really used in any meaningful ways, except for jumping up on some unclimbable cliffs occasionally.

 

The aliens.. Awesome graphically, a real let-down story-wise. I wish they could have done something smarter with the story. As it was now, I just didn't care one iota what happened in the story. I just wanted to see the next graphical show piece. A bit like the monkeys in Far Cry, actually.

 

I don't know what you mean that Crysis is just another average FPS, It's not a god send but it's not as average as you're making it out to be

Why should I consider it anything but average? I can't think of any gameplay in crysis that was good enough to warrant it being labeled as above average.

 

The video is stupid since it complains that COD4 isn't openended which I doubt is what infinityward was going for. I didn't watch all of it though so does it become better than that?
