Does anyone here play Crysis?I plan on buying it after playing the demo I am hooked.

No.

No one that comes here plays it.

The plethora of Crysis-related posts are a clever rouse to trap unsuspecting users.

To what, I cun't say.

Yeah lots of us play it, but be aware that the first level in the demo runs at higher frame rates than the rest of the game.

actually,only the dark part

If you're implying The Core is the only part where the frame rates drop lower than the first level, that is far from the truth. In fact The Core compared to other levels is one of the least resource hungry. Anyone that's played on a mid-range spec system knows there are key places in the game like Onslaught and the deep jungle fighting in The Crossing where the FPS can plummet quite a bit. In fact there are several spots in the game where if you don't use stealth wtih such spec it turns into a slide show. There's not even much action going on in The Core to cause any drop in FPS.

ive played crysis a little while ago.
the game is pretty good even on Dx9.
the gamplay is challenging but can get a little repetetive.
the only thing that is not good is the ending which is an open ending.
so im waiting for a sequel/expansion pack.

I found it WAY too short.

I was hoping for Far Cry length, but sadly it was less than half that...

Hoping Far Cry 2 will be better.

I'm holding out hope for Far Cry 2, also.

Crysis was little more than a tech-demo with a bit of poorly done story pasted over the top when you boil it right down.

And this is coming from someone who actually quite liked Crysis... I just wish the person who came up with the bright idea of those damned flying and escort sections at the end would just have... not. Just not.

I take it you mean Ascension? You can easily mod Ascension with options like carrying the Moac over from Exodus, being able to parachute and being able to exit once landing the VTOL. Believe it not even without the MOAC there is enough firepower to get you through on foot too. The only other thing you might want to do is place an aircraft of some sort near the beach to fly back with but I think you can actually trigger the level end just by swimming to the trigger point for it.

I really got into modding that map more so than any other but finally stopped my project because I can never get the dang AI I place to work like I script them to. I did have a lot of fun with the hover craft I placed and the swath I cleared to drive it on though, as well as opening up and finishing the two tunnels in the map.

I also added a Gauss tank at the very back of the convoy that could be driven all the way to a warehouse I placed at the beach refinery. There was a Hunter I put in just before the warehouse too and if you timed it right you could drive the hovercraft up onto the land and right under the him before parking it in the warehouse.

I think they totally wasted a good map by making Ascension a quick fly through. I don't mind the flying and got pretty good at it but there's so much to explore on foot it should at least be an option. I was surprised to find that half of the convoy is actually alive too, not dead. There are other guys near the refinery too that are alive.

That sadly sums up most games I've purchased this year. Oblivion being the worst.

Just finished Crysis...decent enough medium for displaying next-gen video processing. :D
