GAMER-0 # 53: Crysis 2 Is It Hot Or A Flop?

T-Hill writes: Crysis 2 the supposed king of graphics that should have dominated over all others has come and gone. The question that many gamers are asking themselves is does it live up to the hype and are the big media sites giving it a pass because of heritage. Castlevania's Lords of Shadow DLC drops, new Dead Island info and EA goes green...gamers manuals get cut. All in this episode of GAMER-0 hope you enjoy :)

How could anyone honest call Crysis 2 a flop when it has averaged 89% on Metacritic and I'm sure pushed a couple hundred thousand copies on launch day.

Typically a "flop" scores and sells much lower than expectation.

[DelbertGrady]

Look at the source and you'll understand why.

[KillerBBs]

Sales has nothing to do with the game but the marketing 101.

People need to shut the hell up about how many copies a game sold (doesn't mean the game is good)... it means you are fn sheep!

[ElementX]

HHGS? LMFAO. Crysis 2 is awesome, the gameplay is much better than KZ3.

[gorebago]

didnt play k3 but crysis is fun

[9thGenHero]

Once again you pre-judge without viewing the video. Crysis 2 has awesome visuals, but it's definitely not as fun as Killzone 3.

[jeseth]

According to us all,

you are a fanboy, troll, and . . .

a flop.

[Active Reload]

Lol...

[Clarence]

You think kz3 is a flop because your 360 only. Crysis 2 gets a pass because it not a PS3 exclusive. Nothing original about the game at all. The storyline is the same like all other FPS. Save earth. Say what you want, but it's been a lot of hate on the PS3 the gen.

[gorebago]

Hot like rosie o'donnel in a thong - ie) very

[Solbadguy]

Crysis 2 is crazy good. I can only speak for the PC version.

[Spinal]

I already returned my Killzone 3 to the shop, very disappointed in the singleplayer campaign, multiplayer was fun for a while...

That said it certainly doesn't play as fun as Crysis 2 does with the nanosuit.

Crysis has far more quality to it. And I played both and prefer Crysis over Killzone.

My ps3 won't collect dust Infamous 2 i'll be waiting for :)

[Jocosta]

This game is a blast to play, enjoying the hell out of it!

[Raven_Nomad]

20 people on my Xbox 360 friends list playing Crysis 2, nobody is on the same game in those mass amounts for any other game aside from COD titles, in which case it's usually 50-70 on COD titles when they are newly released.

So it's definitely HOT! I think people are hating on it because it's got some amazing graphics and people like to think there own console has better. This is what we get when developers take their time with games, even Multiplatform titles can look beautiful.

[stuntman_mike]

gameplay FLOP.
graphics HOT.

[BeAGamer]

your comment = EPIC FLOP

[stuntman_mike]

only another FLOP would know lol.

[Oldman100]

Got it on ps3 and enjoying it so far. Loving the sandbox elements.

Protip: If you have a 1080p tv and find that the game looks blurry, set your ps3 so it only outputs 720p and let the tv upscale it. The ps3 doesn't do a very good job compared to most tv's built in scalers.

I do this for every game that renders native 720p or under and is being upscaled and output at 1080p by the ps3 (ex: Call of duty 4/Black ops/WaW, Dead Space 2, Sports champions, tumble). To me they look noticeably better doing this. I recommend trying it for yourself.

[RAmar101]

I hear the online is only 6v6 ???

[Pandamobile]

On consoles, yes.

[Kon]

8v8

[Owner360-PS3]

I think half the issues that white boy describes has to do with him,he blinks 10 times a second how the hell you gonna see whats going on? Just sayin..

[ksoto]

This game is so overated its unbelievable!!! I gave into the hype train and wanted bought this game yesterday to see what people were talking about smh big mistake.
To begin with the graphics in this game are nowhere near the beauty of Killzone or uncharted!!!! You guys must be delirious if you think so. The only thing that truly stands out are the water effects other than that generic shooter graphics.
On to the MP!!! COD and killzone 3 MP is wayyyyy better. I mean the mp is decent and Crysis is a decent game but you hear these fanboys on here claiming it to be the new bench mark in graphics and awesome gameply lol hahahahah thts crazyyyy. Killzone eats this alive on all fronts and these review websites are clearlyyyyyy biased as hell because they didnt critique Crysis for the same tings they did KZ3 smh.
If i could i would return my copy of Crysis at best it is a 7.5 and just another generic shooter of which i already have many of. I will be playing socom 4 beta and Killzone 3 alot more.

[Ninver]

i agree. the game is a 7.5 at best. only fanboys what a multiplat to match KZ3.

[maniactadpole]

Tha B.o.B song really put me in the mood to kick some alien ass in Crysis 2 ! :)

[9thGenHero]

I was very impressed with the console visuals of this game, but they don't compare with PC visuals. In terms of other games, I still feel that Killzone 3 1up's it in terms of fun factor and presentation.

[byeGollum]

6 vs 6 is just right to be honest.. anymore players running around with the nanosuit would be unbalanced, less tactical, and chaotic In my opinion. I like the multiplayer the way it is, I wouldn't change a thing about it.

[FanboyPunisher]

The good side of gollum doesn't settle for second class shit.

Crysis isnt your precious, keep looking!!

[byeGollum]

lol...

Who are you to tell us which is our preciousss?

we hates you ...

go away..
