Years ago , being able to play crysis at max settings proved how good the computer's specs were , but what about today...

Not even, they're using Lumberyard which is an engine made by Amazon based on Cryengine which the first paid for to the second since they're desperate.
Literally no one is using Cryengine, I think the only recent game with it was NuPrey.

...

no one's really made one of those big high end PC games since crysis, so you can see how well you run poorly optimized console ports I guess.

Ironically if Shekel Citizen ever got released, it would probably be the next benchmark game, as no modern computer could run the game at more than 5 FPS considering all it promised.

Hey guyse, remember when you tried doing something cool in Crysis? But you couldn't because the game is intended to be played stealth, and everything else sucks off aux power too fast.

Literally the same faults as nu Deus Ex.

...

If you hate fun, maybe.

Crysis 2 with its insane tessalation?

Fag

Assassins Creed Syndicate maybe? It's a shit game but if you can run it maxed at 60fps with the special PCSS shadows and everything, you probably have a good rig. Maybe it's just shit optimization though.

It barley runs on modern hardware and even then it's so single core based that your CPU will become a bottleneck.
I have a 780 and a 6700k OC'd and it dropped to like 35~ FPS in places.
Oh, it's also unable to run at higher than 60hz without crashing. In fact it did a ton of crashing, good luck getting it to run at all.

The Witcher 3 requires some heavy hardware to run at 4K max settings.

Crysis 3? It's not as fun to play but not too bad that you couldn't enjoy running around a bit and watching graphics porn.
They did a nice job with the foliage and water

So was crysis performance just bad programming?

I wouldn't doubt it. This was a glorified tech demo of the Crytek engine.

Half Life 2 was a tech demo

Actually, it just proved how much of a consumerist faggot you were. Crysis is a bad game and none of the actually good games of that era required anything like that kind of graphical processing power.

BamHam Knight looks good and requires a ridiculous rig.

Apparently the CryEngine doesn't know how to utilize modern resources.

…are you baiting? I genuinely can't tell.

that's the game that bottlenecks at the software level by doing more than 4x the D3D11 calls per second that DirectX 11 actually supports

Unironically, I'd say Ghost Recon Wildlands. Not arguing whether the game is shit or not, but to me it set a good new benchmark standard in terms of graphics requirements and scaling.
You need a monster rig to run it fully maxed out at stable 60+ fps and it looks pretty impressive. However it scales very well when you customize graphics settings down to mixed medium / high / very high while still looking almost as good as maxed out with the right settings.
To me toying with GRW's graphics settings has been almost a game in itself for some time.

Maybe. But Crysis (including Warhead, 2 & 3) has a better and more fleshed out campaign than any other single player fps released during the past 7 years.

I actually played Crysis for the first time a few months ago. I was impressed by the faces and their animation, better than some games today, but other than that the game was kind of meh, I'd give it a 6/10, wouldn't reccomend to anyone

Whats with all the plebs on this board lately?

neogaf and cuckchan refugees, though is somewhat right, it's just a funny sandbox game.

Crysis (the first half + Warhead) was great (by the standards of modern FPS campaigns) because of the freedom the early levels offered.

This. I have a GTX 680 and an I5 3770. I get 60 FPS easily on Mad Max, I get 120-200 FPS in the Battlefield 4 trial on max settings at all times, yet I get 5-20 fps on Sleeping Dogs on max settings (which is from 2012), and I barely get 60 FPS on Payday 2, a game that looks worse than HL2 which I consistently get 300 FPS on at all times.

I'd say the Crysis franchise is also actually pretty good plot-wise and character-wise, at least compared to post-2010 fps. I genuinely enjoyed the story, especially after reading the novels and the comics series.

Why are you even on Holla Forums? You obviously don't like videogames your shit console cinematic experience isn't a videogame

Why? Because the game looked like shit to me and I didn't want to play it until I was really really bored?

What happend to Nomad? i hated how you had to play as the nigger, which wasn't even interesting.

You didn't play it back then because you were underage at the time and now you have to go back.

And a title in early access, Hunt.
Shit is slowly burning away.

consoles

They killed Nomad off in a comic or some shit, if I'm remembering right.

That was very shitty, looks like the transition from Crysis 1 to 2 was a fucking comic.
But what about Crysis 2 to 3 ?

Also a comic, I believe. Yeah. Actually there's a comic about how Alcatraz and Prophet fight for control of the body, but Prophet wins after Alcatraz admits he can't kill the ayylmaos or some dumb shit.

this is saying incredibly little.

The best thing about NeoFag acolytes such as yourselves is the fact that you can't even give out facts on why its shit, most can't even point out setpieces of the game proving you havent even touched it or mastered its open ended approach to killing Norks and Ayys

Fortunately that is NEVER. EVER. going to happen.

Crysis is the kind of overhyped shit game that NeoGAF always played up. Why? Because it was literally an industry shill website. I bet I could go comb the old forums right now and find a bunch of posts jerking off Crysis when it came out.

Come on now, lad.

Graphicsfags are the cancer killing vidya. Fuck off faggots

...

Crysis is OK. The graphics are good but terribly optimized. The gameplay is meh, it isn't as flexible as you would see in videos, it has bad AI, low stamina (though that can be fixed with cheats and/or mods), and the bullet sponges are pretty bad also.
And I'm not seeing a whole lot of mods either.

...

neofags and a lots of underage casuals

i dont know i still bother coming here

then fuck off, no one wants you here

kiddo, i can rip you in half with my bare hands

Is that the more than just a triple AAAY space shooter space sim space trade space squad FPS VR but no longer VR maybe no FPS anymore either, now with ground vehicle jpgs you can buy for investment and don't fucking call it a cult! game?

Or is it a way of life when you are a Citizen of the Star.

Star Yiddizen!

This.
You buy better hardware just to run ports that shouldn't demand better hardware.

Honestly the reason Crysis is so great is because it was never made with consoles in mind, so you have massive levels filled with enemies that aren't just a massive sandbox RNG-fest.
You can snipe dudes miles away because that's just something the game can do. Most console games, up until now, have had to fit on 360. After 10 years, they now forgot how to actually build a game around that.

Thats some next level shit

Did you finish the game?
It ends precisely with Prophet stating his name after no lines in the whole game, proving he cucked Alcatraz out of his own body because the Suit is anti alien technology now so you can feel like an even bigger special snowflake and has the brain waves of its original wearer or some shit.

Fucking garbage story, Crysis made it cheesy and simple.
I had more feels for the General you see go down in a fiery glory against a giant Ayy than any of the characters they hamfist on the shitty sequels.
Fucking AAA became all the same tripe from 2009 onwards.

The only redeemable character in 3 is Psycho, mostly because of the banter between him and Prophet. All of the other characters were garbage, especially Psycho's autistic cunt of a girlfriend, who gets mad at you for wearing a suit that keeps you alive.

Psycho is a little bitch that wont shut up in 3.
And won't stop telling you what to do when you're supposedely the superior and the tactian.
I really dislike him ib the game, even his accent feels iffy.

Isn't that told in a novel? The comic is about how Nomad and Helena get killed by some crooked CIA who had a beef with Prophet.
So here's the comic. getcomics.info/?s=crysis

Weren't you paying attention? Claire gets triggered by the suit because she was one of the scientists forced by Cell to "skin" soldiers off theirs. Besides, the ending of Crysis 3 implies that Prophet and the suit have fully merged, no wonder she didn't think he was even human anymore.

Crysis was a great game.

I detest 2 and 3. The story went to shit. The entire atmosphere changed. The nano-suit itself changed to some organic-body-fusing bullshit instead of just a suit.

I'd expect nothing less from the world's most popular cutscene simulator.

I couldnt care less if the story on 2 and 3 went full retarded. But the they ruined the gameplay\gunplay of the game to make it a console game.
Crysis was a 9/10 game that only had some minor flaws like bugs, lack of gore and the alien boss fights being dissapointing.
The sequels were generic as fuck console shooters, not even a 6/10 in my book, they only thing they did better were the boss fights.

Of course these retarded consolekiddos would like the original, they are fuckiing retarded after all.

*wouldnt

Same. Only got half an hour into 2. Never bothered with 3. They took away the open levels and made it into another linear FPS. They even took away the battlefield style multiplayer to make it into a CoD clone
