[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Malceor [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] IVI1CR0S0F7 I liked Crysis 2 more than Crysis 1. While I agree that publishers are starting to worse with Online Passes, etc, I think the community is also getting worse. They will attack anything that is wrong with a game. They tore Mass Effect 3, which I think is the best game in the trilogy, apart just because of the ending. I don't let the little things ruin the whole for me.[/quote] I liked Crysis 1's setting, freedom, gameplay and story much more. But the biggest downgrade between the two games, IMO, was the art design on The Ceph. They looked MUCH more [url=http://i.neoseeker.com/mgv/1-Redemption/1/29/alien_exosuit_display.jpg]awesome;[/url] way more [url=http://screenshot.xfire.com/s/77347804-4.jpg]original,[/url] [url=http://i.neoseeker.com/ca/crysis_conceptart_QbhQ1.jpg]dark[/url] and [url=http://i4.ytimg.com/vi/kuqmcggyx4o/hqdefault.jpg]mysterious[/url] than they did in the second. And the complaining about Mass Effect 3's ending was actually a good thing, because it really was horribly bad writing and was riddled with plot holes and inconsistencies. If anything, this shows that communities are getting better. We're finding our voices and are actually starting to influence positive change in games.[/quote]I did like Crysis 1's exploration, but the only levels that kept me at the edge of my seat were when you first see the Ceph, all the way to the end. In Crysis 2, I was on the edge of my seat from start to finish. I don't know why. Just seeing New York falling to pieces, Central Park lifting into the air, just amazed me. As for Mass Effect 3, I actually didn't like the ending either and I do think it is a good thing that people complained about it, but I was only using it as an example. I've seen people go crazy for anything. Armor Lock in Reach, Dante not being the actual Dante in the new Devil May Cry, Left 4 Dead 2 coming out not too long after the first one, MGS 2 having you play as Raiden instead of Snake even though they play the same exact way and didn't really affect the awesome story. These are obviously just my opinions. I tend to look only at the good things in games. I tend to enjoy them more that way. I'm not looking for perfection. If Half Life 3 ever gets announced, it will get hit by a massive -blam!-storm, I am sure, even though it will most likely be a great game. [Edited on 05.04.2012 11:35 PM PDT]
