Comment on Is there a game that you've been very patient for, which turned out to be dissappointing when you finally started playing it?

Crysis. I first played it in the mid 10s having heard it was groundbreaking, and… eh. Military shooter where white people go to africa/middleeast and have gunfights in the most boring washed out brown environments imaginable. The suit abilities were kinda cool but I’ve just played that template so many times before, it’s not fun anymore and it wasn’t fun anymore 10 years ago. It was barely fun 15 years ago.

Uhh that’s not Crysis. In Crysis you fight North Korean soldiers and aliens on a tropical island. It’s far from “washed out brown environments”.

  Isn’t the main character black, too? Lol

Crysis is a cool tech demo. No other game came close to its visual fidelity at the time. It was groundbreaking that you could put a bunch of explosives in a house and watch it blow up into pieces as you detonate.

Gameplay was always pretty average.

Never understood the Crisis hype, or the “Can it play Crysis” memes of the 2010s. The game was dumb.

  The “Can it run Crysis” thing was purely about the fact that it was one of (if not the most) resource-intensive games out at the time. I remember it being a big jump in terms of both visual quality and the requirements to run it well.
