Crysis

I know it's been talked about, but has there really been no thread dedicated to this game? Didn't find one when I searched.

God, this game is so amazing. I almost didn't try it cause it was already an 'older' game (not really older, but it seemed to sort of fall off the radar), but since I got my new PC I have wanted to really challenge my computer. So when DS also purchased a new computer and downloaded this, I just had to give it a try.

Quite simply, this is the most amazing FPS I have ever played. Both from a visual standpoint and a gameplay standpoint, it is amazing. I have my graphics at max, and during the single player campaign I rarely stutter. This is including the XP trick to unlock the Very High settings, which make it just that little bit nicer. It's not quite DX10, but it's damn close.

The sandbox elements of this game so far are amazing. Crytek has proven that they are indeed a very capable company. I can't wait to see Farcry 2, which is being developed by Ubisoft, but looks equally amazing.

Gameplay is rather straightforward, but the nano-suit abilities add a very nice touch and let you better decide how you wish to play the game. So far, I've been using the stealth method, while carefully picking headshots. The guns could use some more variance, but the ability to modify them makes up for a good deal of it.

The AI is actually challenging, and the game itself is just plain exciting. The graphics are near photo-realistic at times, and combined with the well done sounds in the game make you feel like you're really creeping through a jungle. I found myself getting so into it, that things seriously freaked me the fuck out sometimes. I got paranoid and the slightest noises would cause me to start freaking out.

So yeah.. I know there are some of you out there who have this game. Freaking talk about it in this thread.
