Crysis 3 Review: Amazing Graphics, Still A Benchmark Buster, Boring Gameplay

[Astronomer]

Programmers masturbating. Give me immersive game-play over "gee-whiz!" graphics any day of the week.

"Let's get one thing clear up front. Crysis 3's graphics are absolutely stunning. Crytek's latest game doesn't raise the bar — it annihilates it. At the highest settings, Crysis blows Battlefield 3 out of the water, makes mincemeat of Max Payne, and makes the original Crysis — itself a graphics powerhouse — look more like the first Call of Duty. Crysis 3 really is that stunning, provided that you've got the graphics card to handle it. Like the first game, this title is capable of bringing even a high-end card to its knees. Everyone who worked in the artistic departments at Crytek, from character animations to texturing, deserves an award. The people who wrote the game's plot, on the other hand, don't. The game's design and some poor pacing decisions completely undermine what should be its greatest selling point. Crysis 3 could've been a great game but it feels like a science experiment. How much poor gameplay will players suffer through in exchange for utterly amazing graphics?"

I never read those reviews.I like my DM.The game is beautiful.I hardly ever play the missions I usually go straight to the IA(instant action) and yes the graphics blow other games away.Get the game and I'll give you a little Typhoon.500 rounds/sec.In fact I'm going in now till 7:30 am.I love it.

I played it for just a bit and found that the team mates looked a bit cartoony. Idono I guess I have not played it enough yet.....

This is my first crysis and im really impressed with the graphics...im still playing the campaign at the moment before i jump in to the Multi..

 

I did hit a bug though after only a few minutes of play,the door on liberty tower would not open.....after 1 hour of trying i decide to look for some answers and found that my key bindings had something to do with it,and so had to revert to default bindings to get past that level before resetting them to my liking..

 

The level of detail in the characters is amazing....

I own all the Crisis, this is by far the best I've seen so far. The graphics are amazing. So far I am about a quarter of the way through the campaign and it rocks, excited to see how it finishes. The cross bow rocks. I advise those that don't own it, get it.
