ITS JUST LIKE CSGO BOIS, BUT RE(T)ARDED.

5/10

The game is so MEDIOCRE at everything that I couldn't force myself to finish it. I've reached about 80% of campaign and I said: ENOUGH ALREADY! I checked for ending and plot of the game on the internet, because the missions were so boring and the story wasn't engaging at all. The only good part of plot is the nanosuit story and its relation to the owner, it really kicks a$$!

The missions are dumb, you can find these type of missions in every other fps and they have much better AI and far more interesting characters. Missions are always the same, for the first half of the game you shoot CELL operatives in the face and after that part the aliens spread out and you shoot them in the face...
To make the game even more boring most of the missions are barely plot connected, like doing something to protect people during evacuation? WTF? REALLY? Why do I need to do such boring sh.it when my armour is so great? The dumbest thing on earth to do with the game like this is making it linear, and even though it is linear, the game doesn't have any memorizable scripted sequences, so it becames even more boring. Also in the first installment of Crysis there was more options to fool around and try out what your suit can do, you could have a lot of fun destroying stuff etc.
To add some more misery to this we are in NY again...

The Crysis could be a good franchise, but it needs far more superior story and it needs to be more gaming experience and less of just pure PC benchmark for CryEngine...
The Visuals are great, but the game itself shouldn't exist if it is only just to see how awesome it can look. I seriously do not know why people are rating this game so high when it brings nothing interesting beside nanosuit and graphics...
What was really pissing me off in this game is that whenever I tried to shoot someone and I hit an obstacle it released a cloud of dust(regarding the fabric of obstacle) rendering me unable to aim at enemy...

Also the music in the game is awfull, it is just too epic for what is currently happening on your screen. I had to lower the volume of music, beacuse I got annoyed. The main theme by Hans Zimmer is great though!

I am really dissapointed with this title after all this hype it gets from everyone...

Crownfall is the best that happened to DOTA2 ever since Valve made it.

6/10 TOTAL
8/10 Campaign
4/10 Multi

The Campaign is pretty nice, I mean it is still COD, what do you expect, but there are moments which will keep you playing it till it's done and story unfolds in a way that you normally wouldn't expect from your normal COD game. Although the outcome is pretty much the same, so AMERICA ♥♥♥♥ YEAH! I was really pleased with Mr. Irons vision, but I don't want to spoil anything here so I won't tell more. Acting is brilliant and Kevin Spacey FTW! Played on Veteran which I highly recommend if you want to have some fun, but be aware of enemies which just won't die even if the half of their weight is your bullets and I am talking about regular guys in EXO's not the big guys with big guns, cause that is obvious they won't die by a few bullets or even grenades. To summ up SinglePlayer I had to say that I really hated some of the missions, like stealth missions or flying missions, for me they are just wasting time to fill up the whole game with something that is not shooting. I dunno why ppl are hating on COD that it is pure shooting, It is an FPS what do you expect? Wanna have some other gameplay features then go play another game, it is a shooting game and all you need to do in it is to shoot well and personally that is what I want from this type of game. At the end I want to add that this is still better than Battlefield campaign in BF4 which just sucks.

Now to the multiplayer...
Oh, my god I think I will start with the main menu when you launch multiplayer, because it lags for me as FU**! In which way is this installment optimized for PC gaming? I'll tell you: IT IS NOT IN ANY WAY! I launched multiplayer on lowest settings and it was still lagging, the multiplayer should offer smooth performance so you can be competetive and be able to play normally. I am playing od Radeon HD 7850 2GB's VRAM + 4 cores CPU 3,4Ghz per core + 8GB's of RAM, so my gear should technically be able to play it on high details with some features turned off, I get that my PC is not a killer but WTF it is not the ♥♥♥♥♥ toaster! I got 55-90 fps in BF4(settings medium\high) which looks far more better and has less drops than this game. The next thing which really got me pissed is that I can't minimize this game and do something else, if you try to do so by any means it will just freeze and I will have to terminate the process in task manager, wtf??!?!?!? I can minimalize BF4 no problem, but not COD? Another outraging bullcrapp is that the games requires so sick ammounts of RAM and VRAM and you won't see any major visual benefit comparing to other game which looks far more better and are offering much more smoother experience. I know what that is, I think you know that too. That is because it is still the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ engine being butchered for sake of Activisions money, because they can't afford anything else like the unreal engine which gets me ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pissed! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO CHANGE ENGINE, THEN OPTIMIZE IT FFS!
Next thing which will get you really mad is the matchmaking system, yes it is the hosting system which we have seen in MW3... This is outraging, this is lame console port just to get your money and say FU, cause you are a PC gamer. This system may work great with consoles, but not with the PC's and certainly not in EU, we all know that there are no connection problems in USA where internet is gr8 and reliable. I had many attemps to connect to the game, but I just couldn't connect to the ♥♥♥♥♥ host.
OFC there are some tweaks to the multiplayer, but they are purely cosmetical, the only thing that really stand out is the EXO-SUITS and modification items of your soldier. The rest is the same COD with combined Scorestreaks/Perks/Items in one system that you know from BLOPS2, but here it is called pick 13. The maps are not memorizable and are overdetailed, but even then the game can look crappy as fu**. The one map which was really getting on my nerves was the "Greenband", simply the worst map ever, and I was playing "Yemen" in BLOPS 2 so yeah it does suck, not to mention that in the middle is simply a hole that you can fell into, which happens a lot. The other maps are OK, especially for the EXO-SUITS idea of playing. I won't tell anything about the gun balance, cause I haven't played that much.
THE EXO'S ARE GREAT, THE REST OF THE EXPIERENCE IS PRETTY LAME, MOSTLY BEACUSE OF OPTIMALIZATION.
I highly recommend staying away from this game as far as possible on PC, beacause it can ruin your day.

9/10
6 hours of playing, but oh my what gameplay was this? :) Moral choices, beautiful visuals and ofc the plot. Plot is the core of this game and it can sell u solid kick into the nuts. Highly recommended for players who cherish plot the most and shooting ppl in the face from 3rd person view. I am really pleased by this game.

PS: Explosive barrels in this game are just awfull xd Their explosions look like from some cheap-ass game xd But the rest is astonishing.
PS2: I lowered the rate by a little, because it was short, but when I think about that, it really couldn't be much longer. It would just get pretty boring.
PS3: The "RadioGuy's" text lines were so damn gr8 xd

9/10
If you are FPS fan, it's a must have. There is plenty of beatiful guns and ugly faces to shoot.
The plot is gr8, with well written characters and the events that are taking place in the game are stunning,
altought that I knew what will happen next(because I've spoiled myself with videos on youtube at premiere...)
it was still breathtaking. Visuals are awesome, same as the audio(voice acting, ost etc.) and the whole game runs smooth
even on my HD7850. I am really pleased with this game and thank you Gabe for letting me have it for just 5Eu(www.gaben.tv), it is a steal.
