Beauty with SOME substance By Susan Miller
Crysis 3 is a beautiful game. Let's get that out of the way first.
There's no denying it looks stunning and you'll often stop to look around at the environment you're in. You'll likely want to play certain checkpoints over and over again to take everything in. With that said, Crysis 3 plays just as well as the others.
The A.I. isn't any smarter and make for easy targets. With the new Predator Bow that allows you to kill without going out of Stealth, you'll often feel overpowered and maybe even cheap. If you're only interested in the Single Player experience, you're in for a short ride. The Campaign isn't very long following in many other FPS footsteps offering a fun ride but one that ends too soon. Crysis Vets will likely play the Campaign a few times to find all the hidden goodies and Nanosuit upgrades but for casual players that will play this once, you'll be paying for the beauty, not the substance.
Graphics don't make the game, they just enhance it. The game is better than good but it's not great. The AI is stupid (better than Aliens Colonial Marines though), you can simply be in stealth mode the entire game and wreak havok on any enemy you come across. I'm sorry, but the first crysis is still both the most fun and the best game overall out of the series. This one has the "best" multiplayer yet in the crysis universe, but compared to other multiplayer FPS's cmon now, it just simply doesn't compete to something like BF3. It boils down to this, this is a remarkable looking game and truly jaw dropping even on modest settings, but that gameplay is trite and mediocre, which is a shame.
The campaign also has a better pacing, with 6 to 8 hours gameplay. Crysis 2 was indeed a bit longer, but had some very boring parts. Some gameplay features are a bit useless, like that hacking which is very poor. The vehicles sections are painful, the handling of the buggy is hard.
Crysis series continued with prophet and Psycho.Most wonderful art design for levels and great lighting effect,very good textures,awesome dx11 effects and solid gameplay.
The story is the perfect finish to a fantastic trilogy. If you liked both the Crysis games for what they were, you'll love this third addition. The multiplayer is great fun if you're a fan of the Crysis mechanics and various cloaking maneuvers, and I'd definitely give it a shot if you're a CoD fan as well, as it's much like a crossover between it and Halo. So, without hesitation (even if it is on Origin), give this game a few hours of your time. You won't be disappointed.Best Graphics Ever ! By Atul
I downloaded this game around 8 PM today PST. Key works fine, Just put it in Origin and all 3 contents will be unlocked (i.e. Brawler, Hunter Edition and Crysis 1)
Downloading 14GB of content took bit of time (Around 2 hrs), Installation happens automatically, Origin did all the work. I have Windows 8 installed and I got nice shortcut on Home Page along with Desktop. Started the game and this time Crysis is endorsing AMD (in Crysis 1 they were with nVidia),
Menu is pretty much streamlined and looked like lot of information was taken automatically by game just by opening it. Game took default resolution and some other system information as well. I started with 'RECRUIT' mode to understand if any new capabilities have been added to nanosuit and YES there have been some cool features added (I wont reveal here). After RECRUIT mode, Game starts with 'EASY' mode (4 Modes in CRYSIS 3 are EASY, NORMAL, SUPER-HUMAN, DONT EVEN DARE). Game starts with some movie and its no cheap graphics here .. trust me . Videos are very HQ. Graphics Settings & Advanced Graphics Settings options give you enough option to tweak and play with your system hardware limits.
I use GTX 690 along with i7-3930K and 16GB RAM, So I went with 'VERY HIGH' Settings (i.e. MAXED OUT) and the game takes you in differen world itself + I have Samsung SB970 27" Monitor and the colors are so vibrant. Faces of characters look so real. I was kind of stunned. I just started with 1st mission where Pyscho comes to rescue Prophet to inflitrate Libert Dome and blah ! blah ! (I dont wanna reveal more here).Water effects, Light effects are awesome and Yes I do own Battlefield 3 and Assasin's Creed 3 as well. Crysis 3 Graphics are higher than both of them but so is the Hardware Demand as well.
I think one needs pretty powerful machine to play at MAX settings. Even my GTX690 dropped below 30FPS on certain places where too much water & rain effects were present. But overall its a very nice game !
Atleast I loved the graphics, I sometimes kill the enemies and then go back and check all stuff (Just to see the details of the graphics) each brick has been rendered so perfectly.
Awesome Job by CRYTEK ! Still I have completed just 3 missions but I already loved it !

Just to call out I am not overclocking anything
Base i7-3930K, GTX 690, GSkill Trident 16GB 1600Mhz (This one I overclocked), Intel 520 Cherryville (256GB) HardDisk, ASUS Rampage IV Gene Mobo, SUGO SG 09 Case9 of 11 Graphics wonderful but game play.... erh I wanted more. By Captain Kevin Carney
I LOVE crisis... love it. I have 1 2 and now 3.
I went out and bought a Geforce GTX 690 just to play this game. Yeap $1000 to play one game (well and upgrade my system and play other games at awesome settings)
But the primary push for me to get a new card was this game.
So as you have read before about this game the graphics are a pleasure and with the GTX 690 the eye candy is wonderful.
So I don't regret buying the card (BF3 looks great BTW)
The problem I have with Crysis 3 is the problem I have with many of the "mainline" games coming out. They are built for consoles and linear game play. And this addition of Crysis takes the series further down that long boring hallway.
Before you fun boys jump all over me, let me explain what "night" be happening in gaming. As an older PC gamer and the PC gaming market being around for such a short time, perhaps the changes that happen in ... say... the music industry are happening in the gaming industry.
The Big Bang era get replace with Rock, Metal, Punk... (whatever the evolution was) So perhaps the games I expect to be next... are dead. Now it is the American Idol Bubble Gum Music that is the cash machine and the companies will gravitate towards that.
So for Crysis 3
Pros - Love the bow... love it!
Graphics
Cons
While you can try different techniques of getting the job done, you are basically going down the same linear (I can kick a car across the road but can't kick open that locked door?) path.
- the version of the past had more terrestrial game play before getting in the sci-fi stuff. (I am a sci-fi fan) But I enjoy the kicking some human butt more before going Halo. (just me) This had 1/4 human 3/4 alien game play opposed to versions of the past that were at least 1/2.
- Multiplayer is fun but a frag fest and if you get on servers with higher ranked players, you are just cannon fodder. When I get totally bored with BF3, I revisit the MP portion of this game.
