Oh wow.
Do guns really get logo's like that. Looks like it would fit on the cover of a rock album.

Apologies, misunderstood you. Hitting escape and quickly going to the customization menu works sometimes. Had some weird hud issues at times, it'll randomly pop up with everything, including crosshairs, and then disappear despite the fact that I'm playing on the highest difficulty.
Even at 1080p the texture work is apparent when downsampling from 4k, obviously. Don't know why anyone would be opposed to detail like this.
YES!
Is it the AI that's bad, or just the pathfinding? They react accordingly a lot of times, like "help, my team's fucking dead!" or "he cloaked, he's probably trying to flank us," and the grenade throws are worlds better than in 2, but the enemies always get railroaded trying to find their way around things in the environment or something. I played half of the first game this morning, and it doesn't seem as poor in that game. And bushes actually gave you cover, unlike 3.

I haven't finish the game yet, and I already want an expansion, DLC even, just to look at it. They can be empty maps full of trees and animals for all I care.

Some sniper towers here and there would've been great.
I think it's better than C2 so far and I loved C2. Only finished 2 missions so far though.

Contextual voice clips are not AI.
Well, I meant they try to react accordingly, and the audio cues you into watching it. It's like the AI is competent and knows what it's supposed to do, but the terrain gets in the way. Crysis 2 had the same problem, but there were so many others, the pathfinding seemed like the least of them.
Far Cry? Really?
That was a hollow, horrible playing game with broken design and terrible AI. Hated it so much.
Crysis is fantastic, though.

Maybe I have my nostalgia goggles but I remember loving Far Cry and just liking Crysis

Yeah I don't know, shooting someone in the feet 200 meters away and just having them stand there until they die is a letdown. I wish AI was prioritized more in games but since it's so behind the scenes it's probably much easier to script some 'AAA'-set piece with preset paths and a.i reactions/spawnclosets/whatever than to having to create believable AI.
Maybe next-next-gen :/

Eatchildren, what resolution-AA combo are you using there?

You have those goggles on.
Far Cry really plays nothing like Crysis. Only in concept is it similar, but the gameplay is highly unrefined and it feels awful to play.
I loaded it up recently and was shocked at how bad it is.

3180x1789 + 4xSMAA(High)
Because:
a) My monitor literally cannot support proper 4K resolution. Custom variables won't work.
and b) I can't use MSAA full stop without my poor GTX 570 going "nope" and crashing the game.
Don't worry about not being able to use MSAA. SMAA is far superior.

Mine is likely nostalgia as well but I felt the same way. As far as first impressions Far Cry had a much bigger impact on me than Crysis. I do love Crysis though. Both games fall apart at the end
snow for crysis and mutants
I am about 50% of the way through and CS2 is way better to me. The game feels like it breaks on this setup. I was just shooting a guy this morning that didn't react at all. Just sat there while I loaded him up. I can't remember that happening in 2.
Is it too dismissive to chalk the AI issues up to console development? The first Crysis has the "shoot you from a mile away" issues, but in most other areas it seems better, and that game is 5+ years old. They're pushing the machines so hard, something's bound to suffer. If Crytek make another Crysis targeted at the PS4's specs and it still has the same issues, I'll give up.

So if the A.I. is so important in the game, why not just play some multiplayer? People are way more fun to play than A.I.! I don't know why GAF is so averted to mp; in this game it really is the better half.

Doubt it. AI isn't really a problem base on how powerful a machine is, it's solely on the programmers.
Because not everyone wants to come home to 'spergin city that is MP of any FPS games these days after a long day at work or when they want to enjoy themselves.
Just FYI, this is only good on repeat play throughs or if you just don't care about the story, but there's a dialog slider in the audio options. Though I'm not sure it turns them off lol

The IA is much better in this game than in C2 imo. This is specially noticeable in those levels where there is a dozen Ceph hunting you. They move in groups, and stay close to each other as they sweep the map. But more importantly, they do not get stuck in geometry.

I definitely get that, but my point is if you are relaxing then why care about imperfect A.I.? I played a couple hours of single player and it isn't that bad; it just feels like regular dumb fps A.I. And multiplayer is as relaxing as you make it if you can handle dying a bunch; just can't let it get to you. Hell you can always perch and snipe, some of the maps are pretty damn big.
Because relaxation doesn't mean going all numb in the face and not caring about the game. It's about being able to approach a game at your own pace, get into some great dynamic scenarios and being able to use your senses and wit to overcome a situation - An AI that's basically just the next step after a targeting dummy doesn't really provide that.

Because it gets in the way of the fun of the game. All the Crysis games swing hard between "psychic laser beam soldiers" and "nonexistent," both of which undermine the fun part of the game. What's the point of switching between different tactics if the AI never holds up its end of the bargain?

Last two shots (and a pair of eyes), else I turn this thread into a screenshot soapbox.
I get that, but what other shooter aside from Halo is trying to do anything comparable? I get the impression sometimes that people believe Call of Duty or Killzone has more advanced AI. I suppose presentation's pretty much everything with something like that.

The thing is those games aren't sandbox shooters, and while I don't think they should get a pass for atrocious A.I. the level design makes it less noticeable.
Crysis is one of the few shooters occupying that space with Halo so our standards are set by that title I guess. Maybe it's asking for too much, who knows.
Why are people so fucking critical when it comes to crysis?
There is literally no other game that comes even close to how good this game looks and how tight it controls. Yes the single player campaign is not the second coming of our lord and savior Jesus Christ but I will take it over most other FPS SP campaigns. And the MP is amazing fun as well.

I couldn't help myself. I'm sorry.
