actually imo crysis could be much better if the game was longer, and the pacing corrected
the suit powers could be a little rebalanced to discourage cloak overuse

Less aliens, more sneaking parts, less super mega hyper sniper helicopters/boats would make wonders.

iu cant find it but there is a set of videos where a guy learned how to use the powers to his fulkl advantage

you probbably mean this:
youtube.com/watch?v=-y5KiJt9oxg

yup thats it

I think it holds up pretty well as a Rambo Predator simulator. Hell, name a better rambo simulator.

>only cloak is cool
stopped reading there
you don't know shit about playing the game

>Lame and limited suit powers
Nope. If you're not a casual fuck, you'd be sanic fast throwing people off roofs and demolishing their houses built with duct tape and disappearing like the Predator you are.

Aliens were the worst part though.

It wasn't really ever intended to be a good video game. It was a sparse tech demo that sold an engine that could render 1,000,000 polies on screen with high resolution textures on the current high-end, at like... 1280x1024 and 30fps... It was a solid tech demo with a decent dev-kit, but it wasn't ever really intended to be a game in and of itself which is blatantly clear when playing it as a game.

I think the editing helps a lot, it's not like it's some incredible shit going on.

It's FarCry1 with shinier graphaxx.
That doesn't make it bad, but certainly uncreative.

Nobody ever said Crysis was good, it was just the benchmark game.

It was my favorite Crysis game.

>Only cloak is cool

Wut speed mode is fun af

I really liked 2 up until the AYYLIENS which show up extremely soon.

>>Terrible aliasing on leaves
>not using mods and playing with 4x DSR

And the suit powers are all fucking cool as fuck you shit.

Crytek has never made a good game

on lower resolutions unaliased leaves look as if they are moving on a wind

if you have to mod a game to make it good, it's not good, i don't order a steak then swap it out for fish and claim the steak was good you fucktard

It's lame because it's so easy to do even at the hardest difficulty

there isnt any editing in that video for 6 minutes straight and then its just to cut to a forest section of the game, you glorious faggot.
Op is a faggot.

The game is 9 years old. 9. There are people posting on this very board who are younger than the first Crysis.

Modding old games to increase their graphical fidelity is a classic aspect of PC-gaming and there is nothing wrong about it.
It's trying to repair games that were shitty to begin with that is cancer.
This is just giving a old building a new layer of paint.

people were modding it years and years ago, that wasn't giving it a new coat of paint, that was trying to make it not shit

>food analogies

The aliens was a masterstroke. Sneaking around headshotting gooks all day was getting pretty boring at that point despite the nice tank interlude

The game was never shit. I'm replaying it for the thousand time and I'm only using visual mods and it's still on my top 5 list of FPS.

>It's time to admit i dont know how to play the game so i will be indirect and call it shit
Fixed it for you op

I agree on everything except suit powers, they were pretty fun.
They should have set some sort of soft-cap on cloak, and then in general make the energy pool much larger so you can play on the hardest diff and still have fun instead of playing it like a standard shooter.
The game was never good though, just praised for the great graphics.

tech demo != good game
no have some (you)s

I bet OP is one of those faggots that botches a stealth run and reloads his save endlessly until he finishes without being caught,

Fuck off dobson.

Would have been amazing if modding really took off.

Its just visual mods, not gameplay mods. The gameplay is actually really good/unique for a FPS and its obvious who hasn't played it.

This game is made infinitely better if you use the console to slightly increase the walking speed in the game.
As it normally is, crysis man is slower than me.

Actually the alien are pretty cool why does nu-Sup Forums (((hillary supporters)))) hate the aliens?

Crysis 3 > Crysis 2 > Crysis

>Never ordered a steak and then put either extra seasoning on or sauce.
Go the fuck outside.

Not at the get go.

>poor leveldesign
first map was 10/10, later ones were often crappy. still, first map is amazing

>only cloak is cool
you have no imagination at all

>aliasing
simple cfg line change fixes it. besides, it's fucking 2007 game, you need to be one of those retarded hurrr pc mustard race to expect good graphics in modern standards from it

>dumb enemies
thay can't be too intelligent, they're made for you to massacre them with your op suit powers

>shitty aliens
yep, last parts of the game were shit

it was a very good video game in first couple hours of game.

This isn't fun though. He's just beating up on retarded AI using shit like stealth/strength switching.

It's cool to watch but that's it.

Crysis 1 is best. They went full idiot with the plot in the sequels (and the gameplay sucked)
> the suits are reverse engineered frommalien tech
> suit absorbed the black guy's mind
> which then took over the protagonist
Lame as shit

>tfw apologists for Ryse and Homefront 2 exist

>> suit absorbed the black guy's mind
>> which then took over the protagonist
That was cool as fuck. 1 has the blandest plot ever.

Hello underage

C2 went full retard with alien design but the story got better.

I wish I was, desu.

it was quite obvious that devs had no concept for plot through cry1 development process
>cry1 ends with random WE WILL GO BACK TO THE SPHERE out of fucking nowhere and cutscene worthy of smartphone game
>it's completely forgotten in next installments of series
on the other hand, every crysis except cry1 sucked gameplay-wise. When it comes to kinda sandbox-y fps, i'd rather play fun game with shit plot than other way around.

Modded.

The guy is using a mod or a tweak that eliminates the energy recharge delay, normally there is about 3 seconds of waiting before your energy recharges after you stop using it. This guy instantly regenerates that energy. So no, this guy isn't any special whatsoever. In vanilla he couldn't do quarter of this shit he does on here.

>Wrong

Incorrect.

>Frogposter has garbage taste

Opposite way friend.

Crysis > Crysis 2 > Crysis 3.

>normally there is about 3 seconds of waiting before your energy recharges after you stop using it
Uh, no there isn't.

It's a 0.7 second delay. You can mimic every feat but he just wants views.

Underage.

It did take off, more so than Skyrim and others did (Created careers, markets and games)

All of the files are gone now.

Really? Huh. Sorry for sounding so self-righteous then, It really has been a while since I played Crysis.

Why are tech demo games all so timeless?

>Doom
>Quake
>Half Life
>Dawn of War
>Fear
>Crysis

Ambition

Crysis = Warhead >> Crysis 3 > Crysis 2

The beginning of the game was breddy gud. You have a lot of options at your disposal and the levels allow you to take full advantage of them. Gets progressively shittier though (tank section onward is where I just can't enjoy the game anymore). AI is pretty stupid though. I guess that was "the point" but it makes outright fighting them no fun at all

DSR? How do I do this?

>30fps
That does look pretty good though, I've never really seen Crysis without tons of aliasing before outside of screenarcher bullshotting.

Are you going to spice up your game? That looks like default settings. I've wanted to install the game for a while but I'm so lazy.

DSR isn't a mod.

Do you have a modern Nvidia GPU?

If you didn't enjoy Tank then you're playing it wrong. The tank drives fast as fuck so you can effectively speed through the level shooting everything in sight.

Once your tank blows take out rocket gooks, shoot tanks, and then take out the turret at the railroad. Snipe/Rocket the sniper tower then take the gook tank to blow the railroad, then blitz the rest until you reach Mine.

Mine is god tier and easily the best stealth/non-linearity in the game.

it had cutting edge gfx that made the most out of the newest gfx cards at the time. PC gaming still had things to look forward to. Now it's all games made for consoles ported to pc

The vehicles in Crysis are really underrated. The HUDs they have look so good and they control really well. Most shooters don't even bother with vehicles but Crysis polished theirs up really well even though you barely used them in the campaign.

>30fps
40 actually. But I only used 4x DSR for this screen (but it's without any other AA, which makes me giddy). I usually use 2x DSR with 4x AA, it looks good enough in movement and I get a constant 60fps.
>spice up your game?
How do you mean? I've got a bunch of mods.

You dont need a modern Nvidia GPU to downsample, DSR is just the easy/babby mode way to do it much like geforce experience optimize games instead of you tweaking it yourself

There are certain parts of certain levels that floor me every time with how well designed they are, like the ship in the harbor before the tank section, holy fucking shit that place has so many secret passages underwater.
If I were to complain about things in crysis it would be:
>AI sees everything, and can hit you with pinpoint accuracy at crazy range even while under fire
>the gameplay doesn't change much until aliens, at which point it changes too much.
>suit powers are imbalanced, and you can't use more than one at a time
I really like the level design personally, it allows for a lot of attack vectors and there are a lot of completely optional objectives which give you access to different weapons and utilities.
Honestly if they remade crysis with crysis 3 mechanics I think I would love it.

It's time OP admits he has a cock addiction.

>sucks cock everyday
>can't get enough jizz deposited into his mouth
>walks around with breath smelling like cock
>manpubes constantly in his teeth

Even Star Citizen, as nice as it looks, doesn't do what Crysis 1 did. It's not pushing any boundaries. It's really fucking depressing.

Crysis to this day still has the best flora simulation, physics enabled objects, lighting, and mechanics. Probably a lot of other stuff too.

What gpu do you have? 4k seems like it would be hard for Crysis. Also setting DSR lower and using MSAA might be beneficial if that MSAA thing works for Crysis, I can't remember what it's called. Then again I just remembered MSAA doesn't do alpha coverage so that would still look ugly.

Which mods? And I mean cfg and TOD settings.

Yes but you need nvidia to do DSR which is what he was talking about. That gaussian blur DSR has would probably be good for Crysis too, unlike basically any other game which is probably better off without it.

I also really liked the vehicles in this game, the tank controls like an amazing tank sim, shame you can't drive for 10 seconds straight without enduring a hail of gunfire, or rockets and tank shells when you're in the tank, and dying almost instantly when 3 happen to hit you at the exact same time thanks to rnjesus.

You can also leave the tank as soon as the level loads and go one-man army on gooks, there's a ton of RPGs and C4 around on that level.

Rescue > Island > Village > Mine > Tank = Assault, though those are all quite good.

As for the shit ones,

Core = Ascension > Fleet > Ice.

>What gpu do you have?
1080, i7 6700k, lots-a-ram

Some dude in another thread recommended some mods, don't know what they are called, so I'll print screen the "game" folder.

How should I edit cfg? And what's TOD?
Please spoon feed

Here is how the game looks with 2xDSR and 4x AA

4k is too fucking sexy

>the ground textures on the compound on the left
Huh, that aged a bit more than I expected.

you forget
SERIOUS SAM

How is it that all of your models are anti-aliased yet every leaf has jaggies.
Did you forget to turn on AF?

My bad ;_; that's 1200p

Here's 1700p 4x AA

Use that image as reference and make a system.cfg(i think this is the file name) and open it in notepad, you can get actual ultra settings doing that. There are lots of preset cfgs on the net, google stuff like "max ultra settings crysis PHOTOREAL cfg" to find such things. You can also put cheats or settings in there that auto load, so you don't have to type them in the console. I always crank up punch and jump strength so I can do goofy stuff

TOD = time of day, it's another kind of 'mod' that tells the game how to do its lighting, honestly I forget how they work but you can google "crysis tod" to find some.

mediafire.com/?dlb89ekeigzw8
some fun gameplay mods here, the implosion grenades and rapid fire rockets are good fun.

I'm the mod recommendation dude.

As I said before:

Time of Day: Natural Mod 2.0.2.

Q: What is Time of Day? (Tod)
A: Changes lighting. This mod gives the game a very nice, atmospheric look.

This mod will make it's own autoexec/system.cfg file. Makes sure to open this and disable ColorGradingDof!

Other mods: PoM + AF mod. Allows Parallax Occlusion Mapping to work with AF. Make sure to set Anisotropic Filtering to 16 in the Autoexec/System.cfg created earlier.

Rygels Texture Mod + Crysis Texture Pack 2016

Self explanatory, a texture pack. Load Rygels over 2016 pack.

I'd reccomend using this file here instead of the one that comes with Natural Mod.

pastebin.com/ZCTP007T

Made to work with the natural mod, maxes everything. Based on 's image.

I'd also reccomend digging around for a water shader, and for the "Lammar Nanosuit" mod, an HD version of the nanosuit.

A huge mods list can be found on Overclock.net, simply search "Overclock.net crysis mods list".

Use the HD foliage mod from that list! However, the link is dead and you'll have to select the "also avalible in this pack" option. Download that, but delete everything other than the foliage mod.

Shitty gook moot's new system caused a double post. My mistake.

Actually just beat it. Strange how this game still runs like shit today (Hd 7970, i5 3570k)

anyways, I enjoyed the first 2 thirds of the game. Stealth was actually quite great. Once you got into the alien structure the game got a whole lot worse and finally went to shit when you got on the aircraft carrier. The aliens just weren´t fun to fight.

Also game has some fucked up scripting. Had to reload older saves on several occasions because I had already done something but that didn´t trigger new objectives.

holy shit Crysis looks alot more dated then I would have expected it to be. my old computer could barely run the game at 30fps on Ultra settings

>TERRIBLE ALIASING ON LEAVES
HE ACTUALLY SAID THIS

I've never understood why people bother with texture mods for Crysis, the game looks fine without them and every screenshot I see with them looks weird.

They're using the wrong mods. Too much bloom and blur.

the Jet Osprey controls like ass though

...

Some dude in another crysis thread recommended me a bunch of mods (I think it's the same stuff you recommend) and gave me a cfg.
So unless I fucked it up in some way, I should be set.

And I'm switching to config file. It had some higher numbers.

Fuck you it looks just as good as most modern games.

But you just posted an image with too much bloom.
I just don't think they're necessary, the vanilla textures are fine.

godrays look pretty cool but those treelines look like shit

having an island full of low polygon palm trees doesnt make the game look better then Battlefront

But having better and more dynamic lighting and environments does. BF overall looks nicer but Crysis has better graphics.

>most modern games
Battlefront is an exception

Here's the new cfg at 1700p

It looks better, but runs at 30fps instead of 60.

Can you even shoot any of those trees in half?
Also frostbite is terrible, everything looks oversaturated, the plants are white in the sunlight for fuck sake.

Apologies. Old pic.

Regardless, i'm almost staring down the sun there. It's light rays, not bloom.

>everything looks oversaturated
That's an issue with your monitor. Without mods BF is very undersaturated. Thought since you mention white I think you're using the wrong term here.

>BF overall looks nicer but Crysis has better graphics.

thats a weird way of saying that BF has better graphics then a game from 2007
