Crysis 3 Review | Paste

Paste: "Crysis 3 never gets away from being a shoot-people-in-the-face game. Its single player is competent, but cloaked in all sorts of Michael Bay bombast and slow-mo, dealing in unearned gravitas without a hint of self-awareness. The multiplayer also suffers a bit, aside from a few specific match types that properly exploit the suit’s capabilities. A lack of imagination really holds the game back. Crytek has made a good shoot-people-in-the-face game, but little else."

The sit name perfectly sums up the game. Just copy and pasted from crysis 2's boring gameplay and added trees.

camel_toad4074d ago

All graphics and no gameplay. Go to way point, kill bad guys. Rinse. Repeat.

DaGR8JIBRALTAR4074d ago (Edited 4074d ago )

was enjoying it untill a glitch prevented me from completing the game.

rezzah4074d ago

I hate when that happens, especially when the game doesn't feel like it's worth the time to replay everything you did.

Tyre4074d ago (Edited 4074d ago )

This game has the most replay value...funny you guys really do not get the gameplay if you say things like this.
The main thing of the gameplay is that you replay it again and again.
Everytime it is different because you can play it different from ur last replay. In fact this game is best if u play it again in a different way.

Crysis 3 is especially good at this compared to most games just like Crysis 1. Experiments dudes! It isn't so obvious apparently...or has it something to do with the fact that people do not recognise real sandbox gameplay if it's starring them right in the face?

rezzah4074d ago

Replay value to me is not based on the various ways the same game can be played, it is about the experience.

If I consider the experience of a game to not be meaningful then it isn't worth a replay for me.

This may upset you, but Crysis isn't part of the best games I've ever played. Sure it looks nice, but that's about it.

Where's The UberTroll Digital Smoke????

FlyingFoxy4074d ago

New Crysis games, guaranteed not to run full speed even on the stupidly overpriced GTX Titan. These games are hilariously bad, bit better graphics.. terrible strain on computer and just for an average shooter.

Emzx994074d ago

Unbalanced multiplayer, campaign had a fairly forced story, environments were just as closed off as Crysis 2 (I can quote them stating they fixed that), it took me 3 hours and 46 minutes to finish my super soldier play through, and completed all of the games achievements in a matter of 8 hours. The console version is severely lacking compared to the PC version, even then the PC version has issues as well, don't even get me started on how expensive of a PC you need just to get the most out of this game, and only get an average shooter to play. (doesn't matter which console you play it on either, they both suck at playing Crysis 3) And to top it off this old dog did't learn any new tricks, they just kicked it in the ass and sent it out in fresh packaging. The only positive of this game was the fact it had no online pass, and that was EA's choice. it's a 4/10 from me. Go ahead N4G, unleash the trolls on me.

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled136d ago

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa136d ago

BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.

Inverno136d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac135d ago (Edited 135d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast135d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial135d ago

Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!

Yep. Wait a couple of years and get this level of performance on a RTX 4070 or 4080 at a much lower price.

Killer73nova1283d ago

And wait a couple more years for rtx 5070 or 5080 at a much much lower price

Yung-T1283d ago (Edited 1283d ago )

That headline is a tad misleading.
The rig stated in that YouTube video is extremely high-end (ryzen 3950x oc, 32gb etc) and utilizing special water-cooling solutions, loops with pumps etc.

This rig easily costs 5k+ and a normal pc with a RTX 3090 wouldn't get close to these framerates or sustainable temperatures.

Aggesan1283d ago

Who has a "normal" pc with a RTX 3090?

Yung-T1283d ago (Edited 1283d ago )

There's still a difference between a high-end GPU+CPU and a custom-made water cooling system including a Waterloop&pumps etc though, it allows for much higher performance due to the better temperature management that would fry the GPU&CPU with normal builds.

lonewolf101283d ago

That's why people need to read the articles, most headlines are just to get you to click.

Rainbowcookie1283d ago

You would think yes, but honestly does it happen often 🤣 enough

I_am_Batman1283d ago (Edited 1283d ago )

Most of the threads of the 3950x were barely utilized and none of the games that were tested allocated more than ~12.5GB of system memory. Gaming at 8k is pretty much as GPU bound as you can get so you won't need a water cooled high-end CPU or 32GB of memory.

Psychotica1283d ago (Edited 1283d ago )

How does the cost of the PC make the headline misleading?

Mega powerful video card but the games you can play on that card are all available elsewhere. I want to see compelling pc only goty material titles ASAP

Psychotica1283d ago

And where else can you run them in 8K or even in 4K with the same level of performance?

averagejoe261283d ago

Who cares? Nobody has 8k screens and the majority don't even have 4k screens.

This push for pointless high resolution is ruining progress. Give us better framerates, lighting, physics, etc. Stop wasting power on needles 8k.

lonewolf101283d ago

@averagejoe26

There are people with 8k monitors though.

Bender65021283d ago

And still we can't escape 30fps.

JCOLE131951283d ago

I mean given the fact the games are running at 8K it doesn’t surprise me...

MrDead1283d ago

DLSS 2.0 no doubt has a big part in this too, The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn and Death Stranding run like a dream on my 3080, 4k ultra set to 60fps no drops or stutters and the system runs very quiet. Playing Borderlands 3 on badass settings, Red Dead or Division 2 on 4k ultra all run great (Red Dead has a few drops below 60fps) but my PC is working a lot harder on games that don't utilise DLSS, my room warms up nicely when playing those games.
