You still have a long way to go. 19 missions in total.

How is a 12+ hour game not long?
Most FPS these days are half that.
I'd actually say Crysis 2 is maybe too long. A level or two less would've been the sweet spot.

I think it depends how you play, is definitely a longer fps than most this gen, remember your completion timer doesn't include deaths/retry's, I easily spent 14 hours on the campaign and I was playing pretty casually.

Hello, son. Let me introduce you to the future of where you came from. Welcome in 2011. Here, games are no longer needlessly long, artificially lengthened, boring experiences. Games nowadays - when you choose to play with the right ones -, while does not last as long as old ones, they are much, much more better looking and also much more enjoyable overall.
Welcome to the present.
Cant believe I have to say this. Crysis 2 really IS long, dunno where the hell could someone come to say it is not. 1992? 94? Spending days getting lost in Doom 1? THAT is real content right there...

How you haven't buckled down and beat this already is baffling to me considering how much you like it. I beat it in one sitting on Post-Human the first time.DennisK4 said:
And I'm already halfway through my no-hud posthuman playthrough and I'm at a faster pace than my first playthrough. Feels amazing btw with the OP's player movement cvars and with motionblur off it's like the game's graphics can finally look smooth in action instead of a huge blur.

How the hell did it take you more than 5 hours to beat Bulletstorm?

not everybody has the time ( or desire ) to camp out on their pc or console for the better part of a day, no matter how good the game is. i game after work for a few hours a night so it took me more than a week to beat c2. part of me also enjoys taking my time on a really good game.

gaah. i see this type of thing where people beat games in such a drastically shorter time than i do and on a higher difficulty. i didn't die much and i played on normal.. this is why i like the more casual gamers on my friends list.. to them i'm the uber gamer dude.

Yikes. I didn't know it was possible to stretch out the game that long!subversus said:

The last 5 years or so i've only really played console games, so experiencing Crysis 2 maxed out on pc with headphones totally rocked my face. I can't even begin to explain how good this shit was, i havent been so immersed in a game since i was a kid.

It wasn't like I was rushing, although the last level I killed about 5 aliens (there's this one door that won't open until you kill some) and just cloaked past the rest. Those towers you stick your hand in or whatever, the aliens just ignore you while you do it as long as you are cloaked when you initiate it.
I'm not sure if the in-game timer factors in reloads or not, because the game did feel a lot longer than 7.5 hours. That's just the time it gave me when I went to replay a level and it's all PLAY TIME: 7 HOUR 35 MINUTES or whatever.

So, is the PS3 version any good or not?

Yes, but its a bit lower resolution than the 360 and PC ofc. The framerate seems to be about the same for both consoles though. I saw on that vid that it can drop to 22fps in firefights, yikes!

I would argue that sea battles in stormy weather in the recent Total War games are easily up there with Crysis. They look fucking insanely good.dark10x said:
Metro 2033 is severely hurt by it's art which blows for the most part.

Hold on a second there... GTA4 texture work is untouchable, it definitly justifies that big budged and surpasses Crysis 2 in variety and in some cases quality. Texture work of interiors is astonishing.Heavy said:
Well, i don't care about plot in a FPS, but point #4 is from the first game.I NEED SCISSORS said:
Yes, but most of that geometry number is inflated by vegetation density. Take it for whatever that means.MickeyKnox said:
I gotta say I'm starting to love and like this game more and more. At first I played all COD like running around shooting stuff. Then I did the Mirror's Edge dance with sliding, jumping and climbing. I recently moved on to Duke Nukem style blowing aliens up with huge guns and ripping their heads while trashing the place. Soon after I discovered the silencers + stealth and I was infiltrating some sort of facility Perfect Dark style. Crysis 2 is like a whole bunch of stuff I like rolled into a single explosion of pure awesomeness. And it feels like it goes on forever which is great too.

Exactly how I played. My playstyle would change from level to level. There's so much variety in the gameplay. There is no other franchise like this.[Nintex] said:
Anyone catch that Youtube video showing the first level of Crysis 1 running on PS3?
Someone hacked it into the game somehow. It looks pretty messed up (lighting, shading, and other glitches) and there are no enemies or prefabs, but it works. Foliage is properly interactive even. With so much data missing I'm surprised it loads at all.
Don't know if I should link to it as he is using a modded PS3 to run it.

If they release the editor it will be interesting to see how fast the first half of Crysis 1 is ported/remade. I think that would be an enjoyable experience.dark10x said:

GTA4 has nice sharp textures on PC, but it is pretty much all flat and lifeless once you get close, there is no texturing or geometry to anything. It looks nice from a distant but up close it looks awful.
