I swear the only crytek news I ever hear is them announcing layoffs and closures. I don't know how they're still around with no games released in ages.

Their games were an advertisement for their game engine. Cryengine

At one point the Cryengine was going to be the future of gaming and then... Nothing. There were like two games ever to actually use it.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is pretty damn good imo.

I only know of Crysis and then there was a Slender game made in it.

Hunt: Showdown, but it's also not doing well

What's going on? Bleeding playerbase?

Long-standing technical issues aren't being resolved and instead they're adding themed/branded cosmetics (Post Malone, Ghost Face), which raises concerns on their priorities for the game

Yuck. Well there goes my potential interest

The Crysis games have been dead to me since Crysis 2. Crysis 1 is still a blast to play even today.

I thought Crysis 2 was fun. What didn't you like about it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not the person you replied to but I liked the openness in the original a lot more, 2 and 3 were fun but I got nowhere near the replayability. The destruction felt a lot better in the original too from what I remember, crash a truck into a building and cave in part of it which was amazing for my 8500gt at the time... at 8 frames per second haha

I agree losing the openess was a shame, but I really enjoyed the story and updated gameplay in 2. I haven't played 3, but it's my understanding that it's more open than 2 again?
