Crysis 2 demo and whats true about the bad reviews

Crytek's newest baby, Crysis 2 recently released a multiplayer demo for PC, PS3 and XBOX 360. Never in my life as a gamer have i ever read so many negative reviews on a still to come out game.

But what is true and false about all the negativity of the Crysis 2 demo. Downloading and installing the demo myself was the next step to find out the trueth about the bad reviews.

Playing the PS3 demo myself, i must say i was highly dissapointed in playing the demo. i had high expectations for this game and they where not granted by Crytek.

A few of the most common problems with the demo where bad connections, laggy and the playability was not what i tought it would be. That and the unrealistic gameplay, especially when it comes to shooting and getting shot. Sometimes it takes 20 bullets to kill a player, sometimes you get killed by just one bullet and not even from a sniper rifle. Where all the negative reviews correct?

Not at all! There are some things in and about the game that realy excels. For instant, jumping. The way you can jump in Crysis 2 is something i never wittnessed in any other game. There's also air stomping and the possibility to slide and shoot at the same time. These are some of the aspects in the game that realy are gonna do well. There was also a great deal of reviews and rant about the graphics. I can only speak from a personal point of view and i have to say that the graphics on PS3 are astonishing! There are some minor details that lack, like the running water in the Skyline map wich will need some work.

I also know for a fact that a lot of people have canceled their pre order and so did i. I wanna wait untill the game is out and wait for some decent reviews. i still might consider of buying Crysis 2, but at this moment i'm uncertain if this game is worth my hard earned money. I'm sure that a lot people think the same.

If you are amazed about a jump feature on a FPS, you're looking at the wrong genre I believe

thor5545d ago

Actually movement is one of the most important features of an FPS. It's what helps keep them unique and interesting. A whole community built up from the jumping in Quake 3...

Jacobite5538d ago

Unreal Tournament games done the jump with the boots and double jumps and I think their was a mutator aswell gave you super jumps lol seen it and done it lol

outwar60105545d ago

lol people are stupid theres something in the game call armour mode where you get.......... thats right armour

Raf1k15545d ago

Exactly. The nano suit is probably the biggest feature when it comes to gameplay and it's supposed to be something that helps you survive things that people normally wouldn't. If you could kill people with a few bullets then you might as well not have the suit.

People tend to cry about it taking a lot of bullets to kill someone but they never catch on to the fact that if it takes more to kill others then it will also take more for them to kill you. As long as the game is balanced and fun to play it's all good IMO.

InfiniteJustice5544d ago

Agreed, Nanosuit is like having to make real time tactical choices when faced with a situation - which is always different when playing against other people.

Adds a lot of variety to the multiplayer, and I thought it makes for far more interesting encounters with other players

Kingdom Come5545d ago

Bad reviews? I've read 2 so far, from top-critics, both giving the game 10/10. Let's not forget the demo is an early version of the game people, it will more than likely be incredible... And I managed several days of fun on the demo.

ronnyhenri5545d ago

@Kingdom Come

Have you read the reviews at mycrysis? Its obvious you haven't, there where a ton of bad reviews.

BrianG5544d ago

Agreed, I wouldn't say there are any "bad" reviews.

I've seen some 7's, mostly 8's and 9's, a few 10's. Very reminiscent of KZ3 and Bulletstorm reviews.

I would only consider the review "bad" if it gave the game like a 6 or lower and had sufficient reason for doing so. 7's with little backup mean nothing, just like 10's with little backup.

In the end its going to be around an 85 or 90 metta, which would be great for their first game to simultaneously release on consoles and PC.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing26d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9227d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit26d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing26d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9226d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
